CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The results for the first half of 2020 reflect the impact of COVID-19 on the business. Sales dropped by 25% in the period, to $2.34m (H1 2019: $3.1m), EBITDA showed a loss of $167,000 (H1 2019: profit of $75,000) and gross margins decreased to 33% (due to higher logistics and shipment costs).
At the beginning of the year, our expectations for 2020 were to comfortably beat 2019's results, based on a strong pipeline of firm and prospective orders that had been built and the launch of the new product, Lokies. However, the positive early momentum was abruptly halted by the pandemic. From March 2020 onwards many of our customers were locked down and consequently were unable place orders as expected.
Drastic cost reduction measures were subsequently taken to ensure that the Company's costs were aligned with the lower level of activity and to maintain a stable cash position. Shortly after the period end, an enlarged bank facility was secured to enable the Company to withdraw up to NIS 5 million (approx. $1.4 million) as needed, subject to certain conditions, giving the Company sufficient headroom and confidence during this difficult period, and enabling the Company to come out of it ready for the future. The Company has focused on maintaining customer relationships, with the majority of customer projects being placed on hold as opposed to being cancelled. It is hoped that these projects will be resumed once conditions return to normal.
It was very encouraging to see that despite the challenges the Company has faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the SaaS revenues continued the positive trend and increased by 16% compared to same period in 2019. This indicates the Company has strong relationships with its customers, who remain loyal to the Company's services.
The Company has used this period to increase the technological developments to its existing product portfolio in order to meet the requirements of new markets. Starcom has continued to strengthen and upgrade the on-line infrastructure supporting the tracking systems and has focused on development of new products, including a new premium Helios unit.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Group revenues for the period were $2.34m, compared with $3.1m for six months ended 30 June 2019.
Recurring SaaS revenues improved to $1.0m (H1 2019 $0.9m)
The gross margin for the period was 33%, compared with 41% for the equivalent period in 2019. The impact of amortization costs (referred to in Note 7 to the financial statements, below), along with lower revenues and extra shipping costs due to the new circumstances arising from COVID-19, resulted in an erosion of the Company's gross margin.
Total operating expenditure decreased by 9% to $1.48m (H1 2019: $1.6m), mainly due emergency cost cutting measures implemented by the management since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Group balance sheet showed decrease in trade receivables to $1.7m, compared with $2.0m as at 31 December 2019 (H1 2019: $1.57m), due to decrease in revenues for the reported period.
Group inventories at the period end were $2.3m, the same as at 31 December 2019.
Trade payables were $1.9m, compared with $2.1m as at 31 December 2019.
Net cash used in operating activities in the period was positive $46,000 compared with $nil for the year ended 31 December 2019 (H1 2019: $13,000). As at the period end, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $278, 000 (30 June 2019: $416,000).
OUTLOOK
As a result of the measures taken, including reducing costs and securing additional financing, the Board is confident that the Company is in a stable financial position and well placed to return to growth once lockdown restrictions are eased and trading conditions return to previously seen levels. This should include a return to the previously achieved gross margins levels as the Company's product shipment costs and logistics return to normal and as the product mix continues to migrate towards the higher margin IoT products. It is anticipated that the second half of this year should show an improvement on first half results assuming there is no second wave and reintroduction of severe lockdown measures in the key markets we serve. However, the full return to growth is expected to be delayed until 2021, assuming more normal conditions return.
The innovative Lokies product is expected to be one of the key growth areas for the Company in the coming years. The agreement and the purchasing plan provided by the Russian distributor signed up in 2019 underpins this assessment, although this has been placed on hold until recently due to COVID-19 restrictions. Also encouraging is the three-year OEM contract recently signed with Cubemonk for the incorporation of our Kylos Air unit into their product. Zero Motorcycles is progressing with its own sales of Starcom-integrated motorbikes which may encourage other similar manufacturers to follow.
There are also new opportunities being identified and progressed during this uncertain period. For example, a new three-year agreement has been recently reached with HaZeaka, a long-term customer of Starcom, for the provision of a new Kylos unit, the "Connect", an innovative solution for motorcycle protection that prevents thieves from jamming and disrupting the cellular tracking signal sent from motorcycles to their owners. The product is currently going through customer testing ahead of orders being placed and we look forward to updating the market further on the progress with this agreement in due course.
The Board believes that its global client base, its advanced technology, strong product offering, recurring SaaS revenues and the substantial sales pipeline that has been built, provide a sound foundation for the Company to grow and develop in the post Covid-19 market.
