Anders & Kern (A&K)

· A&K revenue for the 6 months to 31 July 2022 increased by 36% to £1.30m (31 July 2021: £0.96m) as Covid-19 restrictions are no longer impacting sales

Outlook

· Trading is in line with expectations for FY23

· Continuing to deliver growth in ARR to transition business to cashflow breakeven towards the end of FY23

* For customers invoiced in currencies other than pounds sterling ARR and ARPU is calculated by translating charges at the applicable 31 July 2022 exchange rate (with the exception of the 30 September 2022 ARR and ARPU which is set at exchange rates on that date). Comparative period ARR is provided on a constant currency basis by retranslating foreign currency amounts at the 31 July 2022 exchange rate.

** LBITDA is the l oss for the period from continuing operations before net finance costs, tax, depreciation, amortisation, reorganisation and transactional items, impairment charges and share based payment charge

Commenting on outlook, Frank Beechinor, CEO of SmartSpace, said:

"As indicated in our recent Trading Update, our primary objective is to build a high growth SaaS business with strong recurring revenues. The results outlined above for SwipedOn and Space Connect illustrate that these key objectives are being achieved.  We continue to see good momentum in SwipedOn and it is great to see the momentum return in Space Connect after a slow start to the year. It is encouraging to see a significant uplift in Evoko Naso sales which have continued to grow in recent months. Our priorities remain focused in continuing to deliver strong growth in ARR, growing our new international geographies and becoming cashflow breakeven towards the end of FY23, to maximise value for shareholders over the coming years."

A copy of these interim results together with a results presentation with further information on the Company will be posted on the Company's website at: www.smartspaceplc.com .

Introduction

As a Group we remain committed to growing SaaS revenues to develop a profitable and cash generative business. We have made progress on this core strategy with 45% growth in revenue and a significant reduction in LBITDA and cash consumption. Group ARR grew by 32% year on year on a constant currency basis, to £5.17m. Our focus remains on growing revenue from existing customers through account expansion and upselling, as well as finding valuable multi-location new customers both in our existing core markets, and by targeting new international geographies.

Software development during the period has been geared towards creating revenue generating opportunities. Since the beginning of the year, we have completed development of a freemium version of SwipedOn, which we are trialling in the UK, with the aim of allowing us to establish a new base of prospective customers. The recent launch of the Android version and introduction of the full multi-region/language capability of SwipedOn means we can now accelerate our sales activities, selling into new geographic regions and markets. One of our other software development priorities which we have made good progress with is the transition to a single platform. It is anticipated that the new integrated platform will be released in 2023. 

We have developed a new partnership with Yealink, a major international manufacturer of meeting room and video conferencing hardware. A joint marketing campaign with special bundle pricing has been launched with Yealink in the  UK , targeting their major partners.

Operational update

SwipedOn

SwipedOn has continued to see good growth in revenue and other key performance metrics, allowing us to report our first EBITDA profit for SwipedOn of £0.36m for the six month period. Our software is now well suited to multi-location customers needing an enterprise level solution, that is simple to implement, on a self-serve basis, and represents good value for money. This has allowed us to expand our higher value accounts, as demonstrated by Thermo Fisher, who have further extended their contract to a full school year running until October 2023.

SwipedOn's largest Desk customer was signed during the period with the order coming from an Australian- headquartered consulting business with 200 offices and 10,000 employees worldwide. They are now using our software to manage over 2,300 desks from 16 locations in the APAC region and are intending to deploy into their US offices.

During the period we launched a fully localised Korean version of SwipedOn. There was much to learn about entry into non-English speaking markets, where the dominant search engine is not Google and with non-Roman characters. Whilst challenging, important lessons have been learnt, and we have been able to successfully complete this phase whilst minimising costs. We intend to apply these learnings to other new geographies, in particular in the Far East.

SwipedOn has recently achieved two important information security accreditations, ISO 27001 and SOC 2. These certifications demonstrate our commitment to keeping data secure and operating in accordance with internationally accepted standards.

Space Connect

Space Connect began the year slower than expected with a limited number of new customers joining. This was a reflection of the switch in customer needs from Covid-19 risk control to work space optimisation, resulting in longer decision-making cycles. Despite the slow start to H1 2023, we have seen increased sales momentum, resulting in stronger sales performance in May, June and July, which has continued into August and September. We have also seen some customers who joined us during the pandemic where Covid-19 mitigation was the priority, changing their requirements and therefore resulting in some expansion, contraction, and churn. This meant that the ARR for Space Connect did not grow as materially during the period as previously announced. However, the focus has very much shifted to space optimisation and, whilst the sales cycles are more protracted, it tends to result in 'sticky' customers with a long-term commitment to using our technology. We continue to see good interest from our key UK partners, including Softcat, where we have become an 'Elite' vendor, making Space Connect the only workplace software solution provider offered to the Softcat sales team.

During the half year our room panel partner, Evoko, launched a new pricing model and showcased Naso at key trade shows. With these key marketing initiatives successfully implemented,  we have seen  an acceleration of sales momentum of Naso, which has resulted in increased cash generation in Space Connect since May 2022 and helps underpin anticipated revenues recognised from this division going forwards.  Management expects this momentum to continue over the coming  months.

Anders and Kern (A&K)

With Covid-19 no longer materially impacting our customers, A&K has been able to close a number of larger sales which had stalled in the pipeline during the pandemic. This has allowed A&K to return to pre Covid-19 revenue levels and we anticipate this will continue into the second half of the year.

Financial review

Group LBITDA has reduced to £0.50m (31 July 2021: LBITDA £1.29m) through 49% growth in high margin recurring revenue, 39% growth in lower margin hardware sales, and a 1% reduction in administrative costs. In line with reduced losses, cash consumed by continuing activities reduced to £0.22m (31 July 2021: £1.33m consumed).

The breakdown of revenue by type is:

	Six months to 31 July 2022 Unaudited £000	Six months to 31 July 2021 Unaudited £000	Year ended 31 January 2022 Audited £000
Recurring revenue
-  SwipedOn	2,029	1,383	2,916
-  Space Connect	274	135	373
-  Anders & Kern	65	68	127
Total recurring revenue	2,368	1,586	3,416
Hardware revenue
-  SwipedOn	26	5	19
-  Space Connect	-	-	-
-  Anders & Kern	1,197	824	1,461
Total hardware revenue	1,223	829	1,480
Other revenue	81	109	244
Total revenue	3,672	2,524	5,140

SwipedOn revenue has increased due to higher monthly Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU"). This has come from increased proportion of customers on our Business and Enterprise level plans which contribute more locations per user, together with higher subscription fees as a result of the price increase we started to implement last year. The significant customer wins announced including Thermo Fisher Scientific and Gategroup, together with the new SwipedOn Desk offering, are further strengthening revenue growth.

Space Connect revenue has increased against the comparative period due to higher customer numbers. The effect of increased sales of Naso have yet to make a significant impact on revenue, as this occurred towards the end of the reporting period and is largely recognised over time.

A&K made good progress in returning to pre-pandemic revenue levels by closing a number of larger sales. Revenue for the period was 36% above the comparative period in 2021.

Group administrative expenses fell by 1% to £3.59m (31 July 2021: £3.63m) due to a reduction in overall staff costs. Whilst inflation has increased individual staff costs, this has been offset by a small number of staff vacancies, which were only filled towards the end of the period. With a full compliment of staff going into the second half of the year, administrative costs are expected to rise reflecting the impact of inflation, albeit to be offset by anticipated revenue growth.

A profit of £29,000 relating to recently settled outstanding contingent obligations from the disposals of Smartspace Global in FY21, and Comunica Holdings in FY19, was recognised during the period.  

Loss per share from continuing operations improved to 3.87p (31 July 2022: Loss per share 5.49p).

Cash flow

Cash used in continuing operations amounted to £0.22m (31 July 2022: £1.33m). The reduction in cash consumption occurred through reduced trading losses together with a net positive movement in working capital primarily generated by increased deferred revenue. 

Cash outflows from financing activities of £78K (31 July 2022: £34K) relate to the repayment of lease liabilities, mortgage repayments, and a repayment interest free Covid-19 loan, provided by the New Zealand government.

The above cash flows resulted in a cash balance at the period end of £2.32 million (31 July 2021: £3.37 million) and a net cash position of £1.97 million (31 July 2021: £2.97 million). 

Outlook

With the pandemic mostly behind us, we are seeing a change in sentiment towards efficiency and work place optimisation. This shift is beginning to contribute to sales growth, with growing interest in both Space Connect and SwipedOn. Growth in Evoko Naso receipts offers further promise of revenue growth in the second half of the year and beyond. While there are still challenges and uncertainties in the current environment, not least from cost inflation, we remain confident of achieving our objectives of becoming a profitable high growth SaaS business. The Board have plans in place to transition SmartSpace through to cash generation and believes the Group has sufficient liquidity to complete this transition. SmartSpace is therefore well positioned to meet targets for this financial year and remains optimistic about growth prospects.

People

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all my colleagues for their hard work and efforts in delivering the successes achieved in the first half of the year.
