Contracts have not appeared and with cash running low WHK announced a non-renounceable Rights Issue. Could still turn around for the year but potential revenue is lumpy and winning contracts seems to be a very slow process

(1) fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company (Share) for every six (6) Shares held at an issue price of A$0.032 per Share, to raise up to A$1,368,323 (Rights Issue). The issue price of A$0.032 represents 15.79% discount to the closing share price on 18 July 2023 or 13.5% discount to the five day VWAP on 18 July 2023. Funds to be used as follows

Then announced contract renewal for its cyber risk radar. US Federal Government contract announced in July 2020 now extended for 4th year valued at USD $672K base, with option for additional USD $505K services.

You would think that with all the hacking news this company should be shooting the lights out. $670K receipts for a cash outflow of $518K ($395K for 9months). $400K already for next quarter. $3M private placement (first tranche at 10c) keeps the lights on and develops a move in to the AUS market, lots of potential US contracts. MC $14M 6.4c

Cashflows

Revenues continue to grow, with the Company invoicing US$2.6M through the third quarter of 2022. Invoiced US$644K of government contracts and WhiteHawk Scorecards

Subsequent to the quarter end, the company will collect US$400K in receivables from invoicing of WhiteHawk Scorecards.

WhiteHawk is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement for A$3M private placement with Lind Global Fund II, The A$3M investment by Lind is via a prepayment of cash for placements of ordinary fully paid shares (“Subscription Shares”) and unlisted options (“Options”). The proceeds will be used for working capital to support pipeline of cyber risk contract opportunities.

Develop business opportunities in Australia to complement the current US market penetration given the obvious high need for effective cyber security risk reviews as evidenced by the recent high profile, high cost data leaks at Optus, Medibank Private and Woolworths as well as the recent AICD launch of the AICD Cybersecurity Governance Principles and the expected new Australian Federal Government legislation governing data breaches.

And we continue collaborating closely with our strategic vendor partners to achieve best pricing thus reducing inflationary impacts outside of our control.

After no news over the last 2 months an announcement to give the SP some support. Let’s hope the growth continues. However significant churn? and margin reductions? could hit the bottom line in the short term.WhiteHawk Projected Revenue Grows by 180% in 2021

• In 2021 WHK will invoice US$3.4M over US$1.9M revenue recognized in 2020 being a projected 180% increase year on year

• During COVID Contracts have been renewed 80% of the time (20% didn’t this doesn’t sound great to me)

• Pipeline has been consistently expanded both on the US Commercial sector and US Federal Government sector over the past 3 years

In-spite-of, the COVID market dynamics and delays in the procurement and contracting processes, WhiteHawk has been able to deliver continued dramatic growth in 2021. Proof of Concepts have led eventually to multi-year contracts.

Terry Roberts, Executive Chair of WhiteHawk, commented, “While business development and procurement processing during COVID has been challenging and protracted, both across the US Federal Government and Industry, our pipeline client relationships have remained strong, and our product lines continue to be extremely competitive and tailorable to any client’s requirements. As a result, we began to offer lower cost Proofs of Concept (POC), so clients could see our risk identification, prioritization and mitigation automation and ability to scale. Thereby resulting in impactful contracts. It took longer – but has delivered results.”

whk 1/2 yearly

Revenue of 1M up 86% loss 1.4M up 12%  2M in cash.

CR likely? With all the recent cyber security issues I was hoping for something more positive

“Information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of operations have not been included in this statement because the directors believe it could potentially result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.”

Is this a standard statement?

 

“Revenue continued to improve simultaneously due to growing product lines and expanded sales channels. Gross margin decreased due to different mix of product sales over the same period as last year with reductions in high margin referral and scorecard revenue.Operating expenses remain relatively the same as last year with continued focus on allocating resources to marketing of sales channels and the continued development of WhiteHawk’s online exchange.”

 

WhiteHawk has a cash position of US$2M and no debt at the end of the reporting period.

 

• Executing 2nd YR of contract as development lead for U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) CISA QSMO Cybersecurity Marketplace, as a sub- contractor to Guidehouse (formerly PWC Federal), for US$1.5 to $1.8M Fiscal Year 2021. YR 3 currently being scoped.

• Option Year 1 of 4 option years (beyond current year) has been exercised by the US Federal Government in August 2021. Completed first year as Prime Contractor on U.S. Federal Government CISO Cyber Risk Radar for up to US$1.18M annually.

• Cyber Risk Program contract renewed for 2nd YR, Phase 1 for US$100K via a Global Consulting Firm in direct support of a Global Manufacturer. Phase 2 scoped for a Cyber Risk Radar across an initial 1,000 suppliers in 2021 for US$1.1M.

• WhiteHawk is now fully onboarded as a member of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN) commercial marketplace and can sell our automated Cyber Risk Scorecards for individual companies or across a portfolio of vendors and suppliers, allowing WhiteHawk marketing and sales to both industry and government clients direct and at scale, without an additional contract vehicle. AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon.

• Finalizing integration of WhiteHawk’s Cyber Risk Vulnerability Assessments into a Global Credit Risk Manager’s automated reporting services, in support of both Government Organizations and Defense Industrial Base Contractors and Suppliers.

• Global Social Media Company Request for Quote for a Cyber Risk Radar 60-day Proof of Concept (POC), potentially starting in September 2021.

• Responded to NAVINTEL, Dept of Navy, Open-Source Cybersecurity Small Business Sources Sought June 7, 2021 and Dept of Treasury Small Business Cyber Security Assessment RFI May 6, 2021.

• One Cyber Risk Platform as a Service Request for Quote was not accepted, another was delayed and two Cyber Risk Radar contracts remain active opportunities.

• Executing in earnest 2021 PR and Marketing Strategy in the U.S. and AU, to include two major international events

 

Not a lot of definite statements, later phases being scoped and two contracts remain active opprtunities. 

We know government contracts move slowly but I am perplexed by that first statement.

US federal Cyber Risk Radar contract renewed for $600KUS with option for additional 505K

Year 1 of 4 option exercised possible revenue of 2-3.7 M for the remaining 3 years.

Last quarter receipts of $400K AUD for a loss of $344K.

Hopefully this will lead to some more contracts being signed and a move to FCF.
