EQUIPMAKE HOLDINGS PLC
("Equipmake" or the "Company")
RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
Equipmake, a market leader in engineering-driven differentiated electrification technologies, products and solutions across the automotive, truck, bus and speciality vehicle industries, is pleased to announce its unaudited results for the six-month period ended 30 November 2024 ("H1 FY25").
Financial Highlights
| • |
Half year revenue (including grants) up by 19% to £2.47m. |
| • |
Half year revenue from EV components of £253,587, an 80% year-on-year increase. |
| • |
Improvement in gross margins for repowered vehicles to -47%, from -75% in the full year to May 2024. Ongoing cost reduction initiatives are expected to deliver further margin improvements in the second half of the year. |
| • |
Operating losses before exceptionals of £3.95m, (H1 24: loss of £2.97m), in line with expectations. |
| • |
Bus repowering services have been materially scaled down with ongoing annualised cost saving of about £2m |
| ◦ Bus repowering services provided the Company with an excellent early opportunity to deploy its products into real world, customer-driven environments, showcasing the quality and efficiency of Equipmake's offering. However, at low volumes it was not possible to generate sustainable gross margins from this business. It has, however, been a strategically important shop window for a higher-margin Drivetrain and EV Components supply business, in a variety of operating domains including public transport, industrial and aerospace. |
|
| • |
Significant cost-reduction initiatives including a manufacturing improvements programme and materially lower-cost battery and component sourcing. |
| • |
Contracted order book1 of £11m as of 9th January 2025. |
| • |
Raised approximately £3m through a Placing and Subscription in October 2024. |
| • |
Cash as of 30 November 2024 was £2.04m (30 November 2023: £3.91m). |
Operational Highlights
| • |
Achieved further traction in Drivetrain and EV Components Supply to OEM and Tier 1 customers, including: |
| ◦ Argentina's first, domestically manufactured, electric bus which entered operation in Buenos Aires; |
|
| ◦ An initial order for five Zero Emission Drivetrains ("ZEDs") from South American bus manufacturer Agrale S.A. ("Agrale"); |
|
| ◦ An order from Agrale to supply specialised parts to support the development of a prototype electric/ethanol hybrid lightweight bus; and |
|
| ◦ Signing a manufacturing and supply agreement for ZEDs with Textron (a Fortune 500 company), a leading global manufacturer of airport ground support vehicles. |
|
| • |
Contract secured with leading UK Tour Bus operator, Golden Tours, to repower ten Volvo B5 London tour busses. |
| • |
Doubled the continuous power output of HTM-3500 motor, reinforcing Equipmake's strong position in the rapidly expanding global market for electrification technology. |
| • |
Continued discussions with a major automotive supplier in relation to it licencing the Group's functional safety technology and systems integration capability for its commercial vehicle business. It is envisaged this licensing agreement would total $6 million (equivalent to approximately £4.6 million) of milestone payments over two years, as well as future volume-based royalty revenues. |
Post Period End
| • |
December 2024: Commenced a Strategic Review and Formal Sale Process, as the Company did not have confirmation from the potential licensee, or any other potential licensee, as to when licences currently under negotiation would be entered into, if at all. |
| • |
December 2024: ZED system approved for bus and coach repowering under the UK Energy Saving Trust's Zero Emission Vehicle Repower Accreditation Scheme ("ZEVRAS"). |
| • |
Jon Beasley will be stepping down from his role as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company for personal reasons, effective prior to the Company's Annual General Meeting on 15 January 2025. The Board extends its gratitude to Jon for his contribution over the past two and a half years. |
1 The contracted orderbook is orders that have been contracted but where revenue has not been recognised.
Commenting of the results, Ian Foley, CEO of Equipmake said: "H1 FY25 has been a period of significant progress for Equipmake as we shifted our focus towards higher margin Drivetrain and EV Components business and laid the foundations for long-term profitability and growth. By scaling back our bus repowering activities and moving away from lower margin business units, we are starting to leverage the credibility and success that our technology has gained in real-world applications. This strategic shift is further bolstered by the exciting new partnerships we are developing with leading global OEMs and Tier 1 customers, such as Textron and Agrale.
"During the period we have taken significant steps to enhance operational efficiencies and reduce costs, but the strategic review and formal sale process we are now undertaking are necessary steps to ensure we can capitalise on the growing demand for our electrification technologies. I remain confident that Equipmake's innovative solutions and the strong relationships we are cultivating will enable us to secure a pathway to sustainable growth and long-term value creation for all stakeholders."

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
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 2024. 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 2024, which were prepared under FRS 102. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have reviewed the financial forecasts and have identified a requirement to raise additional funding over the next 12 months. Whilst the Directors expect that additional funding can be raised, this presents a material uncertainty which may cast doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that would be required to be made if they were prepared on a basis other than the going concern basis.
2. Segmental Reporting and Turnover
Segmental information is presented in respect of the Group's operating segments based on the format that the Group reports to its chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Group considers that the chief operating decision maker comprises the Executive Directors of the business.
The Directors manage the Group as a single business delivering electric power train solutions across a range of markets. Information that was made available to the chief operating decision maker in the reporting period included a split of gross margin by customer project, and therefore segmental information is presented along the same lines. Operating segments that share similar characteristics have been aggregated where the criteria for aggregation have been met.

3. Taxation
The tax charge has been estimated for the six months to 30 November 2024 based on the anticipated tax rate and estimates of eligible R&D expenditure against which a research and development expenditure credit (RDEC) and SME credit can be claimed for the period. The gross RDEC claim is included within other operating income and the SME tax credit in taxation.

5. Earnings per share
The calculation of basic loss per share of 0.42 pence for the six months ended 30 November 2024 is based on the loss for the period of £4,323,264 and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of 1,026,923,884.
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.

Share-based payments |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. No new options were granted in the 6 months to 30 November 2024.
