strong growth (organic and by acquisition)

management suggesting no need for further cap raises which is good given the share price. Wonder if this might be ‘jawboning’ intended to induce a rise in SP at which point they can raise. That said, does seem to be close to cash flow neutral… at least on operating costs.


what are people’s thoughts on the need for further raises?

Outdoor sensing, thinking and acting solutions and platforms company Spectur Limited (ASX: SP3) (“Spectur” or the “Company”) is pleased to report on its activities for the quarter ended 30 June 2023 (Q4 FY23 or the Quarter).

Full year revenue performance

FY23 full year financial results for Spectur Group now include part year contributions from 3 Crowns Technologies Pty Ltd (3CT, acquired in February 2023) and 100% share of Spectur New Zealand Limited (SNZ, acquisition of the final 49% occurring in March 2023). Group revenue was $7.438m.

Revenue for Spectur stand-alone (i.e. excluding 3CT or SNZ) was $6.900m, up 18% on FY22 revenue of $5.828m.

  

 Recurring revenue for Spectur stand-alone was $3.948m for FY23, up 18% on FY22 recurring revenue of $3.329m. FY23 delivered recurring revenue for the Group of $5.244m.

Spectur stand-alone FY23 Q4 recurring revenue ($1.016m) declined slightly from Q3, due to the cessation of some longer-term rental contracts (with associated data subscription plans) and some one-off subscription services in Q3.

A more detailed breakdown of revenue, expenses and earnings across entities will be provided in full year reporting.

Cashflow and Cash Balance

Notable elements of the Q4 FY23 cashflows for the Group were:

Cashflow from operating activities

$6k of net cash was used by the Group in the course of operations, with $12k attributable to Spectur and $25k used by Spectur NZ. 3CT generated $32k of net cash. Notable elements of operating cashflows include;

• $2.449m of receipts from all customers in the Quarter.

• Redundancy costs of $52k following rationalisations upon acquisition (not expected to be

repeated).

Cashflow from investing activities

• $18k of adjustment costs for the acquisition of 3CT increasing overall acquisition cost to $868k.

Cashflow from financing activities

• $500k of additional share capital was raised from a placement during the Quarter, of which

$450k was used to pay down debt owed to EGP Capital.

   

 Net cash usage across the Group was $95k for the quarter, the majority of which was related to investment activities. The Group cash balance at 30 June 2023 was $1.523m. The residual debt balance with EGP capital is $650k, repayable by 31 December 2024 in cash and/or by the issue of SP3 shares.

The chart below illustrates quarterly net cashflows over time.

Sales Performance

June was the highest sales month of the financial year with total sales of $642k. This was the third largest month of sales in the Company’s history and the largest ever June month. Sales comprised $536k of purchased equipment with significant portions from NSW ($243k) and SA ($213k). As of 21 July 2023, month to date sales had reached $462k, marking an excellent start to the new financial year. In addition to these sales, 3CT also successfully closed $282k of long-term contract renewals as of 21 July 2023 across multiple customers, including expansion of scope and price increases.

  

 Full year sales for Spectur and Spectur NZ totalled just over $4.7m, representing a 14% increase on the FY22 sales results.

The Quarterly results were solid, noting that the excellent June sales followed the more subdued months of April and May and an overall softer H2 compared with H1. The new momentum since June appears to have reversed this trend.

Sales Forecast

Opportunities in the near term are consistent with our published strategy.

We expect ongoing growth in South Australia following our investment in establishment last year. Take up in the local and state government space has been healthy and consistent with our focus around making communities safer.

We have several current opportunities of substance which incorporate the combined 3CT and Spectur entities. These opportunities bring together access to broader data sets than just cameras and include additional AI applications including coastal and ocean analytics, smart city applications, people counting, number plate solutions and more. The modular Spectur ecosystem is increasingly effective at managing workflows and external AI partners, enabling more comprehensive and broader solutions for customers.

Our push into the reseller space continues to build momentum with substantial opportunities in the sales pipeline for customers in the security and hire space. Spectur uniquely provides a fully integrated and proven solution for these customers to purchase and deploy. Reseller training and marketing collateral, and pending updates in the Spectur cloud applications and user interface, will provide additional assistance and functionality for these customers to manage and deploy their fleets independent of the Spectur support team.

Through the acquisition of 3CT, Spectur’s dominant position on Australian beaches has increased. Recent sales of our LARA (Lifeguard Activity Reporting Assistant) platform are complementing the deployment of our hardware and helping make our communities safer. Ongoing deployments of our beach hardware have continued and with the support of federal, state and local governments along with Surf Life Saving entities, additional deployments are expected in the future.

The recent launch of the Spectur STA-Power has been

successful, with system performance and customer

satisfaction exceeding expectations. In addition to powering

Spectur sensing, thinking and acting platforms, recent

“standalone” sales have commenced, and the associated

sales pipeline is building. Applications from third parties have

included powering of remote IoT sensors, LoRaWAN

gateways, noise monitoring, bespoke camera and AI devices

(non-Spectur), lighting and more. Customers in this space are also increasingly seeking to leverage the Australia and New Zealand – wide network of warehouses and field services technicians that Spectur has in place, to support installation, removal and ongoing maintenance of hardware.

 

 Rollout of core technology for our existing customers in the utilities space continues, with an increase in revenues from this space expected in Q1 FY24. Spectur also expects to add additional customers in the telecommunications space.

Spectur is pleased to announce that we are now an approved preferred supplier on the WALGA (Western Australian Local Government Association) “Information and Communication Technologies” Panel for the “CCTV, hardware, systems and networks” scope of services. This Preferred Supplier status for the local government sector carries an assurance of high quality, optimal value and full regulatory compliance demonstrated through a rigorous and independent tendering process. Participation in this panel provides a faster and easier way to support WA councils with our solutions.

It is noted that Spectur also has written approval for the Queensland, Northern Territory and Tasmanian Local Buy programs, subject to agreement on final terms.

Strategy scorecard

Spectur raised capital in July and August 2022 to fund the execution of our growth plan. Key milestones achieved included:

• Expansion of our reseller market, including supporting technology, training and marketing collateral.

• Establishment of our full-time South Australian presence, including the delivery of sales and revenue.

• Building out the marketing platform and increasing the depth of expertise in sales and marketing with a key recruit.

• Researching and visiting the USA to investigate market opportunities and build a market entry strategy (currently paused to allow focus on the current “profit” strategy).

• Substantially rebuilding the cloud infrastructure and DevOps environment, and designing a completely new hardware ecosystem (STA-Power, HD6, STA6s, STA6-240X and STA7) to support scaling, improve performance and modularity, reduce costs and improve margins.

• Acquiring 3CT and full ownership of Spectur NZ. 3CT delivered a technology stack, team and customer base that was complementary to Spectur, accelerating our progress in all these areas.

These initiatives, along with a series of debt reduction, productivity, cost control and operational improvements made throughout FY23 have positioned Spectur with a scalable platform for growth, improved margins and reduced overhead costs.

FY24+ Strategy

Spectur‘s strategy is firmly focused on achieving consistent profitability and cashflow self-sustainment. The investments in the foundations built in FY23 and years prior will be leveraged to demonstrate the long-term operational viability of the current Spectur ecosystem, prior to expanding into new markets, geographies or other strategic initiatives. Key themes for FY24, consistent with this approach, are:

 

 • Prioritise the reseller initiative, expanding the number of sales channels and increasing leverage of the existing business infrastructure.

• Drive integrated Spectur and 3CT solutions, to increase value to existing customers and customer sectors whilst broadening and deepening the technology moat from alternatives.

• Maintain focus on construction, government and utilities, in addition to resellers. Test at small scale our nascent mining and AI reseller customer groups.

• Integrate the technology stack (as appropriate) of Spectur and 3CT, with a focus on reliability, modularity, customer experience and cost-to-serve.

• Improve our user interface to support and delight larger customers and resellers in particular; and

• Drive a culture of operational excellence and productivity improvement to maintain and improve gross margins whilst constraining overhead growth.

Executive commentary

Spectur Managing Director, Gerard Dyson, said:

“After a year of substantial investment in our future, it is pleasing to return a net operating cash consumption of only $6k for Q4 FY23. We believe we are at turning point. An overhead budget smaller than the prior year, a substantial improvement in gross margins built off the back of improved technology and reduced 3rd party costs, and a growing order book underpin a very different FY24.

“Notwithstanding that Q1 brings an additional pay-run and one-off expenses, we are expecting FY24 to bring improved cash and earnings performance from prior years. Budget and forecast numbers suggest that we will not need to raise equity for working capital purposes with the current operating model.”

“The new technology that we have deployed in the latter half of FY23 and into Q1 FY24, combined with our upgraded cloud and pending UI improvements, are expected to support further improvements in customer retention, account growth and new customers.

“The always-iconic Spectur hardware has taken a large step forward on the back of careful industrial design to improve functionality, reduce cost to build and support, and substantially improve our physical brand presence.”

“The Board and Executive of Spectur are excited about delivering a strategy focussed on execution and incremental improvement to drive to profitability as a key milestone in our growth story.”

 Corporate Matters

During Q4 FY23 Spectur raised $0.5 million via the issue of 25 million fully paid ordinary shares to some its largest existing shareholders at 2c per share. The funds were primarily used to reduce the loan with EGP Capital as well as provide a working capital buffer. The loan was also restructured during the period with a repayment extension to 31 December 2024 and currently stands at a principal of $650,000.

Spectur Chair Darren Cooper agreed to take 100% of his Director fees in Spectur fully paid ordinary shares for the 6-month period from 1 April 2023 to 30 September 2023. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated at the volume-weighted average price for shares traded each month over the period, with shareholder approval for the issue of shares to be sought at the 2023 Annual General Meeting.

Social signalling as optus ups their spend:

I think this is immensely valuable (not the dollars) at Spectur’s stage of the game


 ASX Announcement | 28 February 2023

Spectur’s Statement of Works with Optus near-doubles to over $2 million via new Variation Order

Highlights

• Spectur has received an updated Statement of Works through a Variation Order for the existing Statement of Works from Optus Fixed Infrastructure Pty Ltd (Optus) for $956k.

• The value of the amended Statement of Works is now $2,023,758.

• MD Gerard Dyson will hold an online investor briefing this Thursday 2nd March at 12pm (AEDT) to discuss this announcement, half year results and the recent acquisition of 3 Crowns Technologies. Register here or request a replay.

Tuesday 28 February 2023: Solar security, sensing and visual AI solutions and platforms company Spectur Limited (ASX: SP3) (Spectur or the Company) is very pleased to announce the signing of an updated Statement of Works for Goods and Services (SoW) through the receipt of a Variation to Statement of Work (VA) from Optus Fixed Infrastructure Pty Limited (Optus) for $956k. This brings the value of the amended Statement of Works to $2.02 million.

The original 5-year term Master Supply Agreement (MSA) and 2-year term SoW that operated within this MSA were signed and disclosed in an ASX announcement on 18 November 2021.

The key contracts include:

• A Master Supply Agreement (MSA) (base terms and Goods & Services Module) with Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel), for a 5 year term.

• A Statement of Works (SoW) that operates within this MSA, applying to Singtel Optus Pty Limited (Optus) assets within Australia, for a 2 year term.

The MSA was originally due to expire on 16 November 2026 and the SoW on 16 November 2023. The VA document summarises the changes to an updated SoW (Appendix A) and predominantly:

• Extends the term of the SoW to 31 December 2025

• Updates the Goods and Services to reflect optimised practices and updated technology

• Updates the pricing and works schedules

• Updates the Estimated Value under the SoW from $1,068,140 to $2,023,785 (an increase of

$955,645)

The updated SoW extends the multi-year rollout of Spectur hardware, services and software subscriptions to protect and service remote assets of Australian telecommunications leaders; Optus and Australia Tower Networks.

It is expected that Purchase Orders will be issued in the near term, which will comprise a subset of the additional $956k added to the SoW.

 

 Executive commentary

Spectur Managing Director, Gerard Dyson, said:

“Spectur commenced supporting Optus and associated companies (e.g. Australia Tower Networks) in 2020. Over this time we have continued to work with Optus to improve and update our hardware, software and reporting systems, to suit their operations. This relationship and the positive impact that Spectur solutions have had in reducing theft, vandalism and disruption, has led to a continuation and expansion in the deployment of Spectur platforms.”

“A key part of our strategy is to grow our income from institutional contracts. We see this step-up in our engagement with Optus as a validation of the return on investment that we can deliver for bluechip customers.”

“This Variation Order, which we will not record as a sale until the Purchase Orders are received, comes hot on the heels of a record start to sales in 2023. January and February sales results have continued the month on month growth that we saw in H1 and underpin our confidence in ongoing strong revenue growth for the balance of the financial year.”

Interesting on the back of recent discussions (or more accurately my ramblings) on here to see Gerard Dyson acquiring shares.


That said, I read this as a small number acquired on market ~$20k compared with a lot of performance rights.

#Meeting

Finally caught up on the meeting! Thanks so much @Strawman for this updated interview. I get that this is a serious micro cap but I find Gerard quite’s case quite compelling.


Also appreciated the emphasis on low liquidity and care with orders although I’m hoping in the long term 10-20% here or there will get lost in the gains! Definitely going to keep watching. Held IRL

#Management

Gerard Dyson presented today and my takeaways were as follows:


  • Management see this more as a growth land grab type scenario than a bootstrap growth to income type approach
  • That said they expect with margins of 50-60% that they would be breakeven when they reach 10 million revenue (roughly speaking)
  • The approach to the US will be conservative perhaps with small investment in one trial area to begin with (not betting the farm on it)
  • Management's incentives are aligned with shareholders (Gerard hasn't been given a share and has had to buy on market) and incentives are according to Gerard aligned with long term growth
  • 'Well capitalized and not going to need more raises'? Did he really say this? Seems like a bold claim

Overall I found it pretty positive will probably buy IRL into the SPP (~1%of total investment portfolio)

Gerard Dyson presenting today (link below)

Flicked through the slide deck and didn't see any mention of costs, cashflows, even EBITDA...?

Of course the opportunity seems big but am I missing something? I don't see them addressing the question of profitability?

They did mention that they would like to get there in their quarterly activity statement on 25th July but I'd like some detail...

I'll try to get to Gerard's presentation today












Spectur Limited (ASX:SP3) Investor Presentation

Ongoing growth in sales pipeline

Spectur’s unweighted pipeline of sales opportunities was $6.8m at the end of Q3, $8.35m at the end

of Q4 and $10.3m at 31 July 2022. At 31 July 2022, the probability weighted pipeline1 was $3.5m - up

from $3.35m at the end of Q4 and $2.82m at the end of Q3. This corresponds to more than 50%

growth in unweighted pipeline in 4 months and 24% growth in weighted pipeline over a similar period.

Overall growth since consistent reporting commenced in May 2021 is shown in the chart below.

1 The methodology through which Spectur probability-weights its sales pipeline was disclosed via ASX announcement on 30 August 2021.



The recent increase in sales pipeline is related to submitted tenders for large utility projects which

have been assigned 10% weighting (less than usual weighting). Other well-advanced items in the sales

pipeline include opportunities related to beach safety, large construction projects and transportation

projects.

Capital raising activities

On 19 July 2022, Spectur announced a placement of $1.862m with sophisticated and institutional

investors, followed by a Securities Purchase Plan (SPP) to raise $500k that enables existing

the SPP Offer (Shortfall) will be made available by way of a separate offer under the Prospectus

(Shortfall Offer). The Shortfall Offer will be open to the public, including Eligible Shareholders who

wish to apply for Shares above their maximum allocation under the SPP Offer ($30k).

These funds will be deployed to accelerate the growth of the business towards EBITDA and cash

breakeven. Particular applications of the funds are to:

#Capital Raise
stale
Added 2 years ago

Hey guys


I saw @suttree thoughts on the cap raise but keen for others thoughts too… I purchased a tiny bundle of these shares a few months ago and now have the opportunity to buy in to the cap raise…


I guess given I wasn’t planning to invest more before I’m leaning towards steering clear. Even though the discount is significant in percentage terms with such a ‘penny dreadful’ and the recent slide in SP it may be a bit of a false economy…


any big bulls on Spectur out there?
