About Equipmake

Equipmake is a UK-based technology company which has developed a range of electrification products for the provision of EV drivetrains to meet the needs of the automotive, aerospace and other sectors in support of the transition from fossil-fuelled to zero-emission powertrains.

Equipmake a leading developer and integrator of ultra-high performance electric motors, complete EV drivetrains and ultra-fast power electronic systems. As well as developing proprietary technology - such as an ultra-compact, lightweight high-performance spoke motor - the Company also offers industry-leading EV consultancy.

Equipmake believes that its vertically-integrated repowering solutions enables it to offer more competitive pricing and deliver higher margins than rivals who are integrating bought-in system components. Following a number of years of engagement with potential customers, the Company now has a significant pipeline of opportunities, as demand for electric vehicles increases as part of the global decarbonisation movement.

Equipmake has built up a significant product and IP portfolio comprising leading motor and power electronic inverter technology, and control software for safety critical applications which it will seek to leverage via licencing agreements, in addition to selling its own products.

Equipmake listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market in July 2022 and the c. GBP16 million raised to date is being used to scale up the business to meet its pipeline of opportunities.

Chief Executive's Review

We delivered a robust performance in the six months ended 30 November 2022, following our successful IPO and admission to the Aquis Growth Market (AQSE) in July 2022.

Commercial and production contracts contributed 95.6% of total revenue during the period, compared to 60.3% for the same period last year. Revenue declined in the first half versus the previous year, reflecting the shift away from grant income and a second half weighting driven by current production and delivery schedules.

The Company is on track to deliver contracted orders as expected in the second half of this financial year and as such, we anticipate full-year revenue to be in line with expectations.

Business Overview

Bus

During the Period, Equipmake delivered the first vehicle under its contract with First Group to repower its York fleet of twelve Optare Versa buses, meeting all criteria from the original scoping document. Work has begun on the delivery of the remaining vehicles, with a further five planned for delivery in the second half of this financial year, and the remaining six now expected to be delivered in the next financial year.

Following the success of the Versa project, First Group has awarded Equipmake a follow-on contract for the repower of a Double-Deck diesel vehicle. Under this agreement, First Group has entered into a letter of intent declaring that, following a successful trial period, it may engage the Company for the conversion of several hundred further vehicles. The trial period is expected to be completed in the third quarter of the calendar year 2023. If the trial period is successful, the Company anticipates initial production on this project starting before the end of the calendar year.

In August 2022, the Company a signed non-binding MOU with PT Transportasi Jakarta and PT Vktr Teknologi Mobilitas for an implementation plan for an electric bus retrofit trial in Jakarta, Indonesia. Development of the first trial vehicle is under way, with trials in Jakarta expected to start during calendar year 2023.

In the same month, the Company delivered a fully electric bus to Buenos Aires, developed in partnership with Brazilian bus manufacturer Agrale and Argentinian coachbuilder Todo Bus. Agrale launched the vehicle to the South American press during the C40 World Mayors Summit in Buenos Aires in October last year. The vehicle has completed more than 25,000 kilometres of testing without any technical problems and will commence in-service trials (carrying passengers) once homologation has been finalised. Agrale is now marketing the vehicle to potential customers within South America.

In November 2022, we showcased our latest pure-electric bus technology at the Euro Bus Expo in Birmingham, the UK's leading bus event, unveiling a fully-electric version of the iconic London Routemaster. As part of this project, Equipmake replaced the vehicle's existing hybrid powertrain with our Zero Emission Drivetrain (ZED), which contains 95% British-made components. Our presence at the expo included outdoor vehicle demonstrations, with First Group also showcasing a co-branded Versa repower.

Other advanced electric motor technology markets

While the bus market remains a key focus for Equipmake, with good momentum in repower projects during the period, we continued to explore opportunities and gain traction in adjacent markets across the globe undergoing electrification, including aerospace and automotive, among others. These opportunities are for both the repowering of existing fleets, as well as the provision of our products into new vehicle builds.

Aerospace

Equipmake supplied bespoke motors and inverters to leading EVTOL company Vertical Aerospace ("VA") for use on their VX4 prototype aircraft. VA successfully performed its first test flight in October 2022 and Equipmake has subsequently received a follow-on order to commence the development and supply of motors and inverters for its second prototype. The order includes an R&D element which will commence in the current financial year.

During the period, Equipmake delivered a lightweight, high-energy-density electric motor and inverter unit to leading Australian space company, Gilmour Space. The Company utilised its experience in weight-reducing technology to meet Gilmour's stringent requirements for power and weight to facilitate performance in the vacuum of space. The partnership is ongoing, with further discussions due to take place following the launch of Gilmour's first commercial rocket, Eris, using Equipmake's product. Discussions are ongoing for initial production supply in 2024.

We also signed a contract with a leading electric aerospace propulsions solutions specialist in Europe to supply motors for an electric aircraft. Equipmake will supply bespoke, high-performance, electric prototype motors, designed and manufactured at the Company's base in Snetterton, UK, for use in an electric aircraft, to be delivered during 2023.

Emergency Vehicles

The Company has continued to receive orders from Emergency One to supply electric powertrains to a large US fire truck manufacturer and other clients. Four systems are expected to be delivered to the customer this financial year, ahead of plan.

Automotive

Supply chain challenges in the first half have resulted in the volume of deliveries of ASIL-D rated traction inverters for a leading European electric hypercar manufacturer being lower than originally expected. With these challenges now resolved, delivery of the remaining contracted units are now on track for delivery within the second half of the financial year.

Other developments

Equipmake's progress in demonstrating our best-in-class capabilities in motor, inverter, and control software development across multiple transport sectors has led to numerous approaches by global Tier 1 suppliers seeking access to our technology. This market pull has led the Company to accelerate its evaluation of the opportunities for product licencing, including early discussions with potential strategic partners.

We continued to invest in capacity expansion during the period and are currently in the final stages of securing a flexible lease on an existing 50,000 sq. ft unit, primarily to facilitate the production of the growing bus repowering business. Once complete, this will add significant capacity to our Snetterton facility, allowing us to scale the business and deliver on our medium-term pipeline. Throughout the period we have also continued to invest in R&D, and ongoing training and development initiatives.

On 12 December 2022, Equipmake advanced to the Apex segment of the AQSE growth market, for larger, more established businesses, successfully fulfilling additional eligibility criteria to encourage greater transparency and liquidity.

On 27 January 2023, the Company raised an additional GBP6.2m of gross funds (GBP5.9m net of expenses) via a placing of new ordinary shares. The net proceeds will be deployed to convert a strong pipeline of opportunities driven by continued strong interest for Equipmake products and services.

In February 2023, the Company secured its first order to repower a coach for a premium London-based operator with the long-term ambition to operate a fully electric fleet. There are over 10,000 coaches operating in the UK alone and this is an exciting first step into another significant market undergoing electrification, well-suited to Equipmake's repowering solution.

Current trading and outlook

The business is trading in line with full year expectations, with anticipated revenue for the second half of the current financial year fully contracted. Previous forecasts assumed that all Versa vehicles, under the contract with First Group, would be delivered in the current financial year, however, shifts in the production schedule have resulted in delivery of six of these vehicles moving to FY24. The impact of this will be offset however, by deliveries of other vehicle repowers and EV product shipments.

Looking further ahead, Equipmake currently has a good early pipeline of vehicles under-contact for delivery in FY24 and is in advanced negotiations to secure a significant proportion of the whole forecast volume for FY24. Management is confident a significant proportion will be contracted prior to the year end.

Equipmake remains mindful of challenges posed by ongoing supply chain pressures and macroeconomic uncertainty. To date, the Company has been able to partially mitigate the impact of supply issues through a combination of agile supplier relationships and its ability to pivot to the development and manufacture of replacement components in-house. We continue to monitor the situation closely.

Demand for our products and services is strong, and our medium-term pipeline, which is increasingly diversified both in terms of markets and geographies, remains healthy. Equipmake continues to be well-positioned in highly favourable markets, with strong EV market growth expected in line with the ongoing global decarbonisation movement.

The Board expects full-year revenue to meet current forecasts.

CFO statement

In July, the Company successfully raised GBP10m of gross proceeds (GBP9m net of expenses) as part of its IPO and listing on the Aquis Access Growth Market (ticker: EQIP). Post balance-sheet date, the Company secured a further GBP6.2m of gross investment (GBP5.9m net of expenses). The Company has strengthened its Board, processes and operating policies during the year, including the establishment of an Audit Committee and a Renumeration Committee, each chaired by independent members of our Board.

Equipmake has continued to increase revenue from production contracts, with GBP0.7m delivered during the first half of this year (GBP0.03 H123). Total revenue has decreased since last year (GBP1.05m H123, GBP2.3m H122) predominantly a result of the transition away from government grants to commercial and production contracts. Grant revenue has decreased by GBP0.9m when compared to the same period the previous financial year. Commercial and Production contracts now make up 95.6% of the total revenue for the current financial year (60.3% H122).

R&D costs have historically been expensed within gross margin, as in previous periods, R&D work was linked to revenue from partially-funded grant projects. R&D costs are now reported in administrative expenses, providing a clearer view of the financial performance of Equipmake's production and commercial projects.

The reported gross margin of 21.9%, which is expected to improve in the second half, reflects the following -

   --      learnings associated with repowering the first vehicle for First York 
   --      increases in the unit price of electrical components and staff wages 

-- Delays in inverter production. Inverter units delivered was below forecast impacting revenue by GBP0.5m and reducing the overall blended margin rate by nine percentage points.

EBITDA (adjusted for share-based payments and IPO fees) was a loss of GBP2.1m (GBP1.4m loss H1 2021/22). This is driven by lower revenue and the increase in overheads over the past 12 months. Total headcount at the end of November 2022 has increased to 81, from 68 a year earlier.

GBP460k of internally generated development costs have been capitalised over the period. These relate to the in-house development of our own products for use in our bus and other vehicle electric powertrains and for sale as discrete EV products.

During the first half of the financial year, total share capital (called up share capital and share premium) has increased by GBP13.25m from GBP50,000. This reflects the GBP10m raised at the IPO, less GBP0.5m of fees (GBP0.5m also charged to administrative expenses), and the conversion of a GBP3.75m convertible loan into equity. This has contributed to a strengthening of the balance sheet with net assets increasing to GBP9.49m over the same period.

Cash has increased by GBP5.5m during the period and stood at GBP7.4m as at 30th November 22. This is a function of the IPO proceeds less the year-to-date loss and working capital investment.

   1.       Basis of preparation 

The group consists of the parent Equipmake Holdings PLC and subsidiary Equipmake Limited. All group entities are included within the consolidation.

These interim consolidated financial statements are for the six months to 30 November 2022. The interim results are not audited and are not the statutory accounts of the group as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.

The accounting policies and presentation that have been applied in preparing the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the group's annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2022, which were prepared under FRS 102. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report.

Going concern

The directors have prepared detailed forecasts, models and cash flows which demonstrate that the group has adequate resources to continue in business for a period in excess of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

   5.       Earnings per share 

The calculation of basic loss per share of 0.4 pence for the six months ended 30 November 2022 is based on the loss for the period of GBP2,786,0498 and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of 715,686,273.

The group was loss-making for all periods presented in these statements; therefore, the dilutive effect of share options has not been taken into account in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since this would decrease the loss per share for each reporting period.

   6.       Share-based Payments 

The company operates a share-based remuneration scheme for employees, directors and stakeholders. A charge has been recognised in respect of employee share options in the period based on the fair value of the options at the grant date, estimated using the Black Scholes model.

A summary of options granted to date are as follows:

-- 26 November 2021: Options in respect of A Ordinary shares of GBP0.0001 each, which would convert to a total of 35,681,446 Ordinary shares on exercise.

   --        19 July 2022: Share options over 32,825,283 Ordinary shares of GBP0.0001 each.
