Half-year review
Following the launch of our three-year growth plan in 2021, we
are already a financially, operationally, and culturally stronger
business, as demonstrated by the progress made in the first half of
this financial year. The growth in our revenues, annual recurring
term licence revenue and the number of substantial new wins, many
of which have potential for future expansion, confirm that we are
successfully delivering against our three-pillared growth strategy
focused on innovation, customers and smart partnerships.
We achieved Group revenues of GBP14.0m (H1 FY 2022: GBP12.6m),
whilst at the same time increasing investment in the business.
At our FY 2022 results, I stated that the Board and I believed
we were embarking on a transformational growth opportunity based on
three key reasons:
- The customer and partner credibility we are gaining in the market
- The significantly growing market that we operate in
- The investment we have made in our market leading software platform
During the first half of FY 2023, these reasons have become even
more apparent.
Customer and partner credibility
We have achieved significant wins with new customers including
HS2, a major European Aerospace company, the first win with the
State of New York and a framework contract with the Eastern
Transportation Coalition. Post period end, we secured our eighth
NG911 competitive contract with the State of Arkansas. These new
clients provide us with secure long-term levels of ARR and they
provide excellent references and opportunities to increase revenues
within these accounts.
Our relationship with key partners continues to expand and
during the period we have signed a teaming agreement (delivery
partnership) with CGI Inc., one of the world's largest independent
IT and business consulting services firms, to be a strategic
delivery partner on a five-year contract with the Home Office.
Whilst we have no current indication of the value of our element,
the total contract for CGI is initially valued at GBP95m. We have
also started working in partnership with ATOS, a global leader in
digital transformation and Rizing (now part of Wipro), a global SAP
partner. The four-year contract with the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) was won in conjunction with Rizing and is
an indication that our strategic growth plan in the US continues to
bear fruit and our reputation within the largest transportation
system in the nation continues to strengthen.
Work on the large contracts secured in the previous financial
year continue to progress well, enabling us to strengthen our
relationships with key partners including the Geospatial
Commission, QinetiQ and Atkins, adding to our credibility in the
market by working with large customers and partners.
Significantly growing market
We are global leaders in providing Location Master Data
management and this proposition is at the intersection of two
global growing markets. Firstly, the Geospatial Information Systems
Market is currently worth US$10bn, which is estimated to more than
double by 2027 to US$21bn, and secondly, the mainstream Master Data
Management market, which is worth US$12bn but estimated to
quadruple by 2027 to US$47bn.
Despite the current macro-economic conditions, digital
transformation, and the growing need for better, more accurate and
shareable data to support infrastructure investment continues to
drive demand for our solutions within our target markets, being
Utilities, Transport and Government, where we are increasingly
considered as specialists in this area. We are also continuing to
see significant budgets in these areas committed from governments
globally.
Investment in our market leading software platform
We have continued to invest in our market leading platform
including investment in:
- Our core data management solutions such as our patented
1Integrate rules engine and our cloud-enabled portal, 1Data
Gateway, to improve the user experience
- Our Esri based Business Applications such as 1Water and
1Telecomms which are currently focused on the European market
- Our cloud platform ready for the launch of multi-tenancy
cloud-based solutions, which are still on track to launch before
the end of H2 2023. This includes Traffic Management Plan
Automation (TMPA) in the UK and NG 9-1-1 in the USA for the cities
and the counties.
Growth strategy
UK
We have seen strong growth in the UK during the half, with the
signing of our first significant contract with HS2, to build a data
validation gateway, which has significant potential for further
expansion. The total contract value over the two years is GBP0.9m,
with potential options to extend for a further two years.
The gateway solution will enable HS2 to validate the quality,
conformance and design of construction-related data submitted by
their Supply Chain, which in turn will contribute to the efficiency
and effective information delivery on Europe's largest
infrastructure project. This is a demonstration of 1Spatial's
increasing ability to secure larger contracts across our key
geographies and to design, deliver and implement large-scale
critical systems.
We also signed a multi-year 1Integrate call-off contract with
the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The
contract enables DEFRA and its associates to license 1Integrate and
procure its data management implementation services through the
enterprise licence agreement on G-Cloud 12. DEFRA is responsible
for improving and protecting the environment and this contract
complements our relationship of over ten years in supporting and
developing its data management, data governance and data quality
capabilities.
We are also making good progress on implementing the solutions
on the two major contracts (UK Government contract and NUAR) signed
in FY 2022, and these are expected to provide growth opportunities
in the future.
Successes such as these, and the considerable size of our sales
pipeline, give us the confidence to continue to invest in the
business, to ensure we have the right structure to deliver on the
growing opportunity as we move into the second half of the year and
beyond.
Europe
We continue to push the European market to transition from the
perpetual licence model to the term licences structure but this is
not as well advanced as in the UK and US. We signed a major
five-year contract with a European aerospace company with a total
value over the five years of approximately EUR3m including around
EUR0.7m implementation services and around EUR0.6m per annum (for
four years commencing in FY 2024) of software licence and managed
services revenue. The timing of closing this contract combined with
fewer recurring term licences impacted the revenue in the period
which grew at 2% at constant currency.
US
The US is a key geography for our growth strategy to provide
scalability. For example, there is only one department of transport
(DOT) in the UK whereas there are 50 in the US, presenting a major
opportunity for the business going forward. The success of our
strategy can be seen in our growing profile in North America.
During the first half, we successfully sold and implemented
1Integrate and 1Data Gateway in a number of clients, both new and
expanding on existing contracts, building our annual recurring
revenue from our repeatable solutions such as NG 9-1-1.
Notable new customer wins in the US in the period include:
-- US$1.4m expansion contract with the State of California over
four years - secured in partnership with Rizing (now Wipro), a
global SAP partner. T he State of California is an existing client
of 1Spatial, having already selected 1Spatial's Next Generation
9-1-1 solution.
-- First contract with University of Maryland CATT Labs -
Five-year contract with initial value of around $0.6m, which will
be recognised over the five-year period, adding to the Group's
annual recurring revenue.
-- First contract with the State of New York - for various proof
of concept projects using 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway.
-- First contract with the State of Arkansas - for NG 9-1-1, a
seven-year contract for $1.2m over the period and now the eighth US
State to select the solution.
Post-period end we also closed the following sales:
-- First contract with the Eastern Transportation Coalition, a
partnership of 18 US east coast States and Washington DC, which has
secured its first contract through the marketplace, for US$400k
with Massachusetts Department of Transportation. The total
potential contract value for conflation within this ETC framework
agreement is estimated to be up to US$15m over eight years.
-- First contract with the State of Indiana - for various proof
of concept projects using 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway.
People
At the heart of our growth pillars is our 1Team, a world class,
committed team of people who embody our values of We Respect, We
Innovate, We Collaborate, We Trust and We Care.
During the period we were delighted to have been certified as a
Most Loved Workplace(R), backed by Best Practice Institute (BPI)
research and analysis. This was based on our scores on their Love
of Workplace Index(TM), which surveys employees on various elements
around employee satisfaction and sentiment, including the level of
respect, collaboration, support, and sense of belonging they feel
inside the Company.
Communication with our staff and maintaining wellbeing is
crucial, especially in the current macroeconomic environment. We
have regular global company meetings and actively promote the
importance of mental health. As part of our commitment to their
well-being, we continue to roll out initiatives such as mental
health awareness training, internal events and initiatives to
encourage staff to take time out from their working day and have
appointed mental health first aiders. We kicked off our annual
wellbeing month in September 2022 and we are planning a range of
activities including an employee volunteering community clean-up
day in the UK.
We are always looking at ways to ensure equality and diversity
across our company and an inclusive, welcoming working environment
for everyone. Over the past year, we have created global
initiatives to celebrate: International Women's Day, World Food
Day, Diwali, Thanksgiving, Mental Health Awareness Week, Earth Day
and Health and Happiness month.
The teams continue to show ingenuity and commitment day-to-day,
for which the Board and I thank them wholeheartedly. Their ability
to innovate continually whilst delivering the highest levels of
customer satisfaction means that our growth pillars are built on
very secure foundations.
ESG
We made good progress with the development of our ESG strategy.
In March we kicked off a stakeholder materiality assessment to
determine the priority areas of our ESG strategy. We consulted with
more than 150 stakeholders during this process, consisting of
customers, employees, board members and senior management
(representing 'the business'), shareholders, partners and
suppliers. During this process, we identified 13 issues that were
considered of high importance. These 13 issues will be consolidated
into key focus areas, linked to specific targets and objectives.
These objectives will be developed through industry benchmarking,
peer review and business consultations. We aim to complete this
process during this financial year and expect to report back on our
ESG strategy in our 2023 Annual Report.
Strategic priorities for H2 2023
Our focus remains on the three pillars of our growth strategy
and we continue to invest in order to position the business to take
advantage of the huge opportunity ahead.
The expansion of the 1Spatial Cloud platform will be a key
strategic focus for the Group and the planned launch of our
multi-tenancy SaaS based solutions later in H2 2023, including
NG911 and Traffic Management Plan, will enable us to increase our
addressable market and existing customer demand for web-based
access to our solutions.
We will continue to grow our pipeline and invest in the business
and its people to support our expanded customer base. In terms of
our financial goals, the Group remains focused on increased revenue
growth, underpinned by growing annual recurring revenue and to
continue our trajectory of increased profitability at adjusted
EBITDA level and higher cash generation over the long-term.
Current trading and outlook
We believe we are just at the start of the transformation of our
market. Evidenced by the number and size of wins in this half, we
sit right at the heart of the changes across multiple sectors.
With a strong sales pipeline in all regions, positive market
landscape and the investments we continue to make in our
technology, we are well-positioned to capitalise on the expanding
market opportunity. Our expanding partner networks and growing
levels of recurring revenue will enable us to continue to execute
successfully on the remainder of our three-year growth plan.
Trading in the second half is in line with Board expectations
with several new contracts secured. While cognisant of inflationary
cost pressures, the Board remains confident in delivering results
for FY 2023 in line with management's expectations.

Financial performance
Summary
The Group delivered a solid financial performance in the period,
with further growth in revenues, ARR and adjusted EBITDA profit
levels, while increasing its spending on innovation, pre-sales and
delivery capacity in order to continue to secure higher value
longer-term recurring contracts.
Revenue
Group revenue increased by 11% to GBP14.0m (11% at constant
currency) from GBP12.6m in H1 2022. The business strategy is to
grow recurring revenue from repeatable business solutions on
longer-term contracts, including recurring term licences, rather
than one-off perpetual licences. In FY 2021, the Board approved a
three-year revenue growth plan, with increased planned spending on
technology, sales and delivery capacity in order to effect a step
change in revenue growth. As a result of this focus, recurring
revenue in the period increased by 18% to GBP6.6m from GBP5.6m and
the Group achieved organic growth in revenue of 11%. The revenue by
type is shown below:
Revenue by type
H1 2023 H1 2022 % change
Recurring revenue * 6.62 5.63 18%
Services 6.44 5.93 9%
Revenue (excluding perpetual
licences) 13.06 11.56 13%
Perpetual licences 0.97 1.08 (10%)
Total revenue 14.03 12.64 11%
* Recurring revenue comprises term licences and support and
maintenance revenue.
Growth in term licence ARR
We are growing term licences from our proprietary solutions but
we also sell third-party products on a standalone basis or to
support our own solution sales. In the twelve-month period to 31
July 2022, we have increased the annualised value of term licences
by 115% overall (141% for 1Spatial solutions), as shown in the
table below.
H1 2023 H1 2022* Growth
ARR for term licences - owned 4.07 1.69 141%
ARR for term licences - third
party 1.09 0.71 54%
-------- ---------
ARR for term licences - total 5.16 2.40 115%
* ARR for H1 2022 has been restated at constant fx.
Annualised Recurring Revenue
The Annualised Recurring Revenue ("ARR") (annualised value at
the period-end of committed recurring contracts for term licences
and support and maintenance) increased by 29% (at constant
currency) from GBP11.8m at 31 July 2021 to GBP15.2m as at 31 July
2022. The growth rates varied by region as shown in the table below
with all regions growing total ARR and the UK growing at the
fastest rate of 58%. The US and Australia also had excellent growth
rates. Europe's ARR growth rate was modest at 6% reflecting a
slower transition to recurring term licences in the region. The
overall renewal rate remains high at around 94%.
ARR by region

UK/Ireland 6.30 4.00 58%

-------- --------- -------
Total ARR 15.20 11.79 29%
-------- --------- -------
* ARR for H1 2022 has been restated at constant fx.
Committed services revenue
The level of committed services revenue, which has reduced since
the start of the year as services revenue on our major projects won
last year is recognised, nevertheless remains historically high at
GBP11.6m and provides strong revenue visibility, underpinning the
Group's strong financial footing.
The combination of growing ARR, committed services revenue
backlog and a strong pipeline of prospects means that the business
is on track to make further progress on its revenue growth plan.
With the business focus on developing and selling repeatable
software solutions under a SaaS model, there is an increased level
of revenue visibility, which allows the Board to continue to invest
with confidence.
Regional revenue
Revenue by region is shown in the table below:
Regional revenue
Growth
Growth % (constant
H1 2023 H1 2022 % fx)
UK/Ireland 5.62 4.45 26% 26%
Europe 5.31 5.31 0% 2%
US 1.80 1.55 16% 6%
Australia 1.30 1.33 (2)% (5)%
-------- --------
14.03 12.64 11% 11%
-------- --------
It was pleasing to achieve double-digit revenue growth overall,
which was driven mainly by the strong growth in the UK and US
following excellent contract wins last year, offset by the results
in Europe and Australia. In Europe, revenue was impacted by the
timing of closing a major contract and a slower transition to a
recurring term licence model, resulting in only modest growth of 2%
at constant currency. In Australia, where revenue is primarily
derived from third party software deals, we experienced more
competitive pricing pressure, combined with the transition from
perpetual to term licences, which resulted in a 5% fall in revenue
at constant currency. Going forward, all regions will continue to
focus on increasing their sales of higher margin owned technology
sold as term licences.
Gross profit margin
As we moved into a higher inflationary environment, the business
increased its pricing and charge out rates to offset actual and
expected cost increases. However, the gross margin reduced to 50%
compared to 51% and this was partly due to the timing impact of
cost increases being ahead of the effect of increased prices.
Cost management continues to be an important focus during FY
2023, although the business is incurring some planned increases in
costs in order to support future revenue growth. The management
team decided to increase employee salaries at a higher level than
in the past with the aim of retaining and motivating our skilled
team and this had an impact on gross margin and EBITDA margin.
Going forward, the management team are focused on driving
improvements to the gross margin levels, through revenue growth of
higher margin term licences.
Adjusted EBITDA
The adjusted EBITDA increased by 10% to GBP2.0m from GBP1.8m in
the prior period. The EBITDA margin was slightly lower than the
prior period at 14.4% (H1 2022: 14.5% ).
Operating profit and profit before tax
The Group recorded an operating profit of GBP0.4m compared to a
loss of GBP0.2m in the prior year, continuing the improving
financial trend of the business. Profit before tax was GBP0.3m ( H1
2022: loss before tax GBP0.3m).
Taxation
The tax charge for the period was GBP0.1m (H1 2022: credit of
GBP0.1m).
Balance sheet
The Group's net assets increased to GBP15.7m at 31 July 2022 (H1
2022: GBP14.6m). Trade and other receivables increased year on year
to GBP12.3m (H1 2022: GBP9.4m), mainly due to increased accrued
income at period end following recent contract wins.
Cash flow
Operating cash flow inflow was GBP1.3m (H1 2022: GBP0.6m). This
was higher than the prior year primarily due to the reversal of
some Covid support and the cash impact of the European integration
costs incurred in H1 FY 2022. Cash flow has also been impacted by
the requirement for higher working capital on larger projects and
the planned increase in R&D expenditure, which is incurred
ahead of expected higher future licence revenue. Whilst the free
cash flow* was negative in H1 2023 (H2 is typically stronger for
cash generation than H1), there was nevertheless an improvement
year on year, even after increased R&D spending, as shown in
the table below:
Free cash flow H1 2023 H1 2022
GBP'000 GBP'000
-------- --------
Cash generated from operations 1,343 646
Net interest paid (75) (105)
Net tax paid (26) -
Expenditure on product development and
intellectual property capitalised (1,563) (1,291)
Purchase of property, plant and equipment (104) (88)
Lease payments (454) (580)
-------- --------
Free cash flow * (879) (1,418)
-------- --------
* Free cash flow is defined as net increase/(decrease) in cash
for the year before cash flows from the acquisition of
subsidiaries, cash flows from new borrowings and repayments of
borrowings and cash flow from new share issue.
After the period end, GBP0.2m has been received in relation to
R&D tax credit from HMRC. We also paid earlier in September
2022, EUR408k related to the remaining deferred consideration on
the GI acquisition completed in 2019.
Investment in R&D
Development costs capitalised in the period amounted to GBP1.6m
(H1 2022: GBP1.3m). Amortisation of development costs was GBP0.7m
(H1 2022: GBP0.9m). The increased R&D expenditure primarily
relates to the investment in cloud-based SaaS solutions.
Financing
As the number of higher value sales contracts has increased, the
Board decided that it would be prudent to put in place a GBP3m
Revolving Credit Facility to ensure that the Group's working
capital position is strengthened. The resulting secured facility,
arranged in June 2022, is committed for three years and priced on
competitive terms. As at 31 July 2022 the facility was undrawn.
The Group repaid as scheduled GBP0.2m (H1 2022: GBP0.2m) in
relation to its existing long-term bank loans. At the period-end
the total loans outstanding were GBP2.2m (H1 2022: GBP2.7m). With a
gross cash position of GBP4.5m at 31 July 2022 (H1 2022: GBP5.5m)
and with a growing order backlog and pipeline, and with the
revolving credit facility in place, the business is in a strong
financial position, which gives the Board the confidence to
continue to invest.
Going forward, the Board and management teams are focused on
increasing revenues, in particular recurring revenues, whilst
improving the Group's profitability and cash generation.
