VEEM Introduction

PRECISION MARINE TECHNOLOGY DISRUPTOR WITH 50+ YEARS EXPERIENCE & WORLD-CLASS WA-BASED MANUFACTURING FACILITIES

==> picture [188 x 176] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [197 x 175] intentionally omitted <==

Significant crossselling potential of gyro tech to existing defence and propulsion customers

Track record of disrupting niche marine markets and consistent R&D investment to drive innovation

VEEM develops and manufactures marine gyrostabilizer and propulsion systems

Robust precision engineering business underpins the gyro and propulsion growth opportunities. New $9m order for submarine components from ASC

Stabilization tech is a large addressable market in which VEEM is a leading player

Stabilization and propulsion

==> picture [480 x 190] intentionally omitted <==

Gyroscopic Stabilization

Marine gyrostabilizers (gyros) are used to reduce the rolling of boats and ships in waves

Gyros work by generating large torques which directly oppose the dynamic rolling motion caused by waves. Gyros are replacing outdated zero speed fins as they operate at all speeds and are smoother, safer and more efficient

Propulsion

Fully CNC (computer numerical control) machined over every sq mm of the surfaces, ensuring faster, smoother and quieter performance. The only commercially available propellers manufactured in this manner.

Propellers are now a precision machined part, not a hand finished approximation of the design. Side to side, boat to boat, year to year, they are identical.

VEEM’s innovative pattern-less molding techniques are able to deliver precise bespoke propeller designs with industry leading performance at no extra cost

Successful Sale of World’s Largest Gyro for Damen Shipyards

VEEM has just completed the world’s largest gyrostabilizer for Europe’s second largest ship builder, Damen Shipyards.

Damen builds more than 175 vessels annually and is active across the entire spectrum of maritime industries.

VEEM Gryo Stabilizers were extensively trialed by Damen, after which VEEM secured an order for the VG1000SD in early 2019.

The 20 metric tonne gyro will be installed into Damen’s new Fast Crew Supplier, FCS 7011, which is currently under construction.

Completion of the VG1000 SD validates the use of gyros in large vessels and is proof of market acceptance.

The VG1000 SD was launched on 6 March 2020 in conjunction with the opening of VEEM’s new gyro facility in Canning Vale.

Significant addressable market – awareness increased, uptake expected following successful VG1000 SD sale to Damen Shipyards

==> picture [171 x 163] intentionally omitted <==

VEEM’s gyro stabilizers are designed for medium sized vessels including superyachts, ferries, def ence & commercial vessels

Significant opportunity to use developed technology for smaller vessels.

==> picture [169 x 160] intentionally omitted <==

Currently, VEEM is the only player operating in the large gyro market, with primary competition coming from lesser stabilization alternatives such as fins

Princess Yachts Princess Yachts

Fins have historically been the main stabilizing technology used for sea vessels but don’t work at all speeds, are inefficient, unsafe and expensive to maintain

Superyacht Market Snapshot

Data source: SuperYacht Times

Current order book of 737 vessels[#] represents a target market of over US$273M for Gyro Sales . Expected fleet growth of 2.5% (CAGR) next five years. Current addressable superyacht operating fleet* of 9,081 vessels provides a large retrofit market.

VEEM – a global leader in the propulsion market

A recognised global market leader in marine propulsion

Despite being a key component in boats and ships, outside of VEEM the industry has lacked innovation and continues to adhere to restrictive ‘off-the-shelf’ pattern molding manufacturing

VEEM has a global patent on the Interceptor pitch adjustment system. VEEM maintains its global leading position through its fully CNC machined manufacturing techniques and automated robotic technology

As an innovative propeller manufacturer, VEEM has the opportunity to take more market share through improved manufacturing processes and designs

VEEM utilises patented pattern-less molding and manufacturing techniques which can cast any propeller shape, providing bespoke propellers to its customers at no extra cost

Robust precision engineering business provides platform for growth

Underpinning VEEM’s high-growth gyros and propulsion products is a robust, high-end precision engineering business that has developed and innovated for more than 50 years

Core engineering business is profitable, with long-term agreements and relationships with customers delivering recurring income

We have built a specialised business that provides a strong platform for growth with a diverse customer base including defence, marine and resources clients

Solid year-on-year financial performance over the past 51 years

$9M Submarine Component Contract with ASC

==> picture [506 x 395] intentionally omitted <==

VEEM has secured a $9 million order from ASC for specialised submarine components as part of the maintenance program for the Collins Class submarines.

Award of the contract demonstrates the strong base of recurring demand for VEEM’s highly specialised defence engineering.

Work has commenced at VEEM’s Canning Vale facility in WA, with first deliveries expected in late 2020.

VEEM has a significant track record of successfully completed contract work for the ASC.

The contract highlights the VEEM’s ability to meet the stringent standards required for defence contracts.
