VEEM Gyro Range

Size	Model	Torque	Boat size (approx. per 1 unit)
Small	VG120SD	120k Nm	25 to 30m
Small	VG145SD	145k Nm	30 to 35m
Medium	VG260SD	260k Nm	35 to 45m
Large	VG1000SD	1,000k	45 to 60m

• VEEM Gyros are designed for fatigue and long life using relevant international and European standards of design for materials endurance limit.

• Employs a global manufacturing model to ensure sustainability of product in a global market.

FY19 FINANCIAL RESULT

FY19 was another productive year for VEEM Ltd.

• Due to the cyclical nature of the submarine refit program, revenue for FY2019 was impacted by lower sales in this area, however other sales in the Company's traditional services resulted in total sales for the year being higher than 2018.

• 2019 results include approx $950k in marketing, advertising and travel costs associated with the development of the VEEM gyro and the company's test vessel. The benefit of increasing the marketing spend can be seen by the increase in sales for 2020.

• Whilst revenue was higher in FY2019 against the prior year corresponding period, GP margins were lower due to the nature of some of the work undertaken.

• The continued operating success allowed the Board to maintain its dividend policy of declaring a final fully franked dividend in respect to FY19.

• Corporate ability enhanced by the appointment of David Rich as CFO to commence in November 2019.

		FY18	FY19
	Operating Revenue	$40.71m	$44.9m
	EBITDA	$4.92m	$4.39m
	Statutory NPAT	$2.76m	$2.23m
	EPS	2.12c	1.72c
	Net Assets	$29.4m	$31.1

Continuing our story

Eventually we realised that we were a Manufacturer of Sophisticated Marine Products with one unique VEEM product that we were selling globally. This recognition led us to developing more marine products to build our future on. Products like VEEM gyros, Conquest, VEEM shaft lines and VEEM scan.

• Unique products that were:

• Able to bring a new technology to the world.

• High technology in design and manufacture.

• Able to be patented or IP protected in some way.

• Had significant potential sales and had a long product life.

• Could be manufactured by VEEM using existing capability if desired.

Strategy

VEEM has strong capability and sees specific growth opportunities in:

• VEEM’s High-end marine propellers and shaft lines

• Conquest Propeller range for the traditional replacement propeller market

• VEEM Gyro marine gyroscopic stabilisers for monohulls from 70 to 3000 tonnes

• Continue to pursue local defence and mining opportunities as they arise

Drivers for Growth

• Sales and Marketing via third party distributors and agents

• Continuous research and development

• VEEM has developed a global supply chain that allows the business to ramp up production without working capital restraints

• VEEM creates a natural hedge for business operations by using a range of global suppliers to provide an effective currency hedge and to protect its intellectual property
