RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The profit after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was $2,995,201 (31 December 2019: $893,073).

Dividends

On 25 September 2020, the Company paid a final unfranked ordinary dividend in respect to the financial year ended 30 June 2020 of $292,500 representing $0.00225 per share (2019: $474,500 fully franked).

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the Company during the course of the half-year was the manufacturing of bespoke products and services for the marine, defence and mining industries.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total Revenue for the first half of the 2021 financial year was $28.4m, up 36% from the prior corresponding period (2020: $20.9m). This significant increase was due to increased sales of VEEM Gyros, propulsion products and the commencement of deliveries to ASC under the Collins class submarine maintenance contract announced to the ASX on 18 March 2020.

The significantly increased revenue led to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $5.7m, up 111% over the prior comparative period (2020: 2.7m). EBITDA excluding the $1.5m JobKeeper income was $4.2m, an increase of 56% from the prior comparative period. Cashflow from operations was $3.7m (2020: $1.0m outflow). Net Profit After Tax was $3.0m (2020: $0.9m), an increase of 233% or 111% if JobKeeper is excluded.

The Company held cash on hand of $4.1m at 31 December 2020 (30 June 2020: $3.6m) and has an undrawn overdraft facility of $3.4m. Work in progress increased from $10.4m to $12.2m reflecting the orders going through the facility at 31 December 2020 including ASC, Austal and the third VG1000SD and other gyro builds in progress. While inventory levels were steady overall, a higher level of gyro components on order to meet increasing sales orders were reflected in the high level of suppliers paid in advance ($1.9m compared to $0.5m at 30 June 2020). Total borrowings for the Company were $8.1m made up of a $7.1m commercial bank facility and $1.0m in hire purchase commitments. Overall net assets increased to $35.3m (30 June 2020: $32.6m).

The six months to 31 December 2020 was in many ways a breakout period for the VEEM Gyro marine gyrostabilizer product range with VEEM establishing itself as the pre-eminent player in the large marine gyrostabilizer market. Not only did the sales increase significantly in line with the trend since 2018, but the Company executed a three-year supply agreement with Damen Shipyards (as announced to ASX on 31 October 2020) whereby Damen will offer VEEM Gyros as an option on its FCS vessels.

Damen, one of the Europe’s largest boatbuilders, sells 175 vessels per year, including 20 FCS vessels, providing a major platform for increasing sales of VEEM Gyros. Damen’s adoption of the VEEM Gyro technology into their vessel offering is a major step for VEEM in terms of acceptance in the large commercial market and follows Damen’s initial two orders for VG1000SD VEEM Gyros in 2019 and 2020 which were for FCS vessels. Under the agreement, pricing and terms of supply have been agreed in advance so VEEM can fit into Damen’s short-lead time supply model and VEEM will commit to holding base inventory levels based on Damen’s production forecasts to ensure Damen can meet short-lead time demand from its customers.

During the period VEEM completed the second VG1000SD VEEM Gyro for Damen and a number of other models for prestige European yacht builders including Alia and Canados. Locally in Western Australia VEEM supplied a VG120 VEEM Gyro to be fitted on to the charter fishing vessel Reel Teaser and received an order for the third VG1000SD to be fitted to a privately owned Damen vessel in Fremantle, Western Australia.

==> picture [469 x 307] intentionally omitted <==

Propulsion sales were higher than the previous corresponding period and orders remain strong as a consequence of an apparent strong global market for leisure, and boating in particular. This is expected to continue and the Company has increased capacity in January 2021 and has committed to acquiring two new machining centres in mid-2021 which will allow improved delivery times to European and North American customers.

The submarine maintenance contract with ASC ensured that the revenues from VEEM’s defence business were strong with deliveries under the contract commencing in August 2020. These are expected to continue throughout the rest of the financial year and into FY2022. Work for Austal Ships was steady during the period.

The Company’s engineering products and services business continued its decades-long trend of reliable revenue and gross profits with revenue up compared to both the prior comparative period and the six months to 30 June 2020. Sales of the Company’s unique high-wearing Forever Pipe product continues to grow and generate targeted gross profits.

Outlook

Overall the Company is in a strong position with an existing robust core business which has allowed it to invest and support the focus on the rapid growth of the disruptive VEEM Gyro product into the global marine market.

The gyrostabilizer assembly facility is now running to a production plan which is expected to result in some level of inventory of completed VEEM Gyros as well as meeting orders in hand. The plan gives VEEM the ability to forecast production and the holding of some completed VEEM Gyros will allow customers more certainty over delivery times where this is a critical requirement of the order.

The Company continues to take a systematic, long-term view in terms of the product range, ensuring all designs and materials are continually developed for a highly functioning, long-life premium product with the goal of complete customer satisfaction with the product and after-sales service. The Company remains confident that sales of the large gyro range will continue to grow at an accelerating rate.

Demand for propellers is expected to remain strong and VEEM have already increased the manufacturing capacity in January 2021 as well as ordering two new machining centres for delivery mid-year which will further add significantly to capacity. Other developments and innovations are in train within propulsion which are expected to increase margins and capacity over time. VEEM’s defence revenue is expected to remain strong for the rest of the financial year and into FY2022 with both the ASC submarine maintenance contract and ride control work for Austal Ships. VEEM is active and well positioned to take advantage of further defence work that may result from the current federal government initiatives.

The traditional engineering products and services business continues to underpin VEEM’s operations, revenue and profit and is expected to continue with sales of the Company’s Forever Pipe, in particular, expected to increase steadily.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

Other than the above, there are no significant events subsequent to reporting date.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2020

1. Corporate

The half-year financial report of VEEM Ltd (“the Company”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue on 24 February 2021 in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 23 February 2021.

VEEM Ltd is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purposes condensed financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

These half-year financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Company as the full financial statements. Accordingly, these half-year financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by VEEM Ltd during the half-year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on a historical cost basis.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has to be treated as a discrete reporting period. The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial statements except for the impact of the new standards and interpretations described in Note 2(b) below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Going Concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

(b) Adoption of the revised standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2020

In the half-year ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020 and none of these were considered to have a material impact on the Company. Therefore, no change is necessary to the Company’s accounting policies.

New Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the half-year ended 31 December 2020. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standard and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and, therefore, no change is necessary to its accounting policies.

No other new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations are expected to affect the Company's financial statements.

(c) Significant accounting judgments and key estimates

The preparation of the half-year financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this half-year financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2020

3. Segment Reporting

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors that are used to make strategic decisions. The entity does not have any operating segments with discrete financial information.

The Board of Directors review internal management reports on a monthly basis that are consistent with the information provided in the statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. As a result, no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic decisions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of VEEM Ltd

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of VEEM Ltd (“the company”), which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed statement of changes in equity and the condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of VEEM Ltd does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards ) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its

==> picture [433 x 82] intentionally omitted <==

17

==> picture [165 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
