Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
Notwithstanding, the Group has prepared cash flow forecasts and sensitivity analyses that indicate cash-on-
hand at period-end of NZ$10.2M, combined with the net cash flows from operations, will enable the Group to
continue operating as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of authorising these
consolidated financial statements.
The considered view of the Board Directors is that the going concern assumption continues to be valid, and
these financial statements have been prepared on that basis. This view has been reached after making due
enquiry and having regard to the circumstances that the Directors consider will occur, and that are reasonably
likely to affect the Group, during the period of one year from the date of approving these financial statements.
The Group recorded operating loss of NZ$6.9M for the period ended 30 September 2023 (2022: NZ$1.1M
profit) and is expected to make losses in the following period.
2. Basis of preparation (continued)
Attheendoftheperiod,theGrouphasreviewedthe cashgeneratingunit(CGU)carryingamounts,key
assumptions, and estimates for indicators of impairment. The Directors have identified the following CGUs:
+ CGU1 – IKE Core platform
+ CGU2 – Spike
+ CGU3 – IKE Structural
+ CGU4 – IKE Insight
TheDirectorsdeterminedthattherehavebeennosignificant changessincethe31March2023Annual
Report for CGU1, CGU2, and CGU3.
However,theforecastedsalesofCGU4- IkeInsightproductscontinuetobedelayed,andtherevenueforthe
period was belowforecast. Therefore,Directorshavedeterminedthistobean indicatorofpotential
impairment for the period.
CGU4is an early-stagebusinesssegmentandtechnology thatIKEacquired inJanuary2021andwas
determined tohavea carrying valueof$7.5Mincludinggoodwill at theendoftheperiod.Futurecashflows
areforecastedbasedonafive-yearbusinessmodel, with thebusinessforecasting approximately$0.6m

117%andoperatingexpenses reflectingthecurrent businessplan.A pre-taxdiscountrateof35.7%wasused
toestablish the recoverableamountona value inusebasis.Indeterminingthe terminal value, theGroup
applieda 2%growthrate.TheDirectorshaveconcludedthatnoimpairmentexistsasCGU4continuestohave
a useful life, and the carrying value does not exceed the value in use.
Sensitivity analysis wasperformedonkeyassumptionsforCGU4.Animpairmentwouldneed tobe
considered if the year-on-year growth rate was 4% lower than forecasted.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Theforecastedfinancial performanceofCGU4requiresjudgements tobemadeonrevenuegrowth, operating

1H FY24 Financial Statements
Revenue of ~$10.5m (-32% vs pcp).
Strong ongoing growth in subscription revenue (+24% vs pcp).
Short-term slow-down in transaction revenue due to delays in engineering projects with long-term
customers, with multi-year volumes expected to resume.
Cost reductions executed in Q3 to accelerate time to EBITDA breakeven.
IKE financial results for 1H FY24
ikeGPS Group Limited (IKE) (NZX: IKE / ASX: IKE) is pleased to release the financial results for 1H
FY24 to 30 September 2023 (all figures in NZD).
Highlights for the half year, with results in line with the performance update of 26
October 2023:
+ Revenue 1H FY24 of ~$10.5m (-32% vs pcp).
+ Subscription revenue was ~$5.1m (+24% vs pcp).
+ Transaction revenue was ~$3.7m (-60% vs pcp).
+ Gross margin 1H FY24 of ~$6.2m (-24% vs pcp), reflected in the revenue mix above.
+ Gross margin percentage 1H FY24 of ~59% (up from pcp of 53%).
+ Net loss was ~ -$6.9m (pcp $1.1m profit). This change was primarily due to:
+ Gross margin of $6.2M (-~$2m vs pcp)
+ Foreign exchange and asset fair value movements of $0.3m (-~$4.7M vs pcp).
+ Cash and receivables at 30 September 2023 of ~$16.3m, comprised of $10.2m cash and
$6.1m receivables, with payables of $1.2m and no debt.
Commentary and outlook
IKE CEO Glenn Milnes commented, "As communicated to the market in October, 1H FY24 was a
mixed period at IKE. New customer wins (40 customers YTD) and growth in recurring
subscription revenue was strong, positioning the business well for the long term. Net churn of
customers at <4% evidence the stickiness of IKE products. However, transaction revenue fell for
the first time. This slow-down was well signaled to the market, with several major IKE customers
in the U.S. communications segment having network projects slowed in the short-term, mostly
because of unrelated regulatory impediments or with short-term disputes with electric utilities.
These long-term customers are not lost, some have resumed placing contracts in Q3 or are
communicating that they expect transaction volumes to resume and that the multi-year outlook
for use of the IKE platform is robust. In addition, IKE continues to pursue new transaction
customer opportunities. As a reminder of IKE’s business model, the company generates additive
transaction revenue, on top of subscription revenue, from some customers as they engineer
more network assets in our software system.”

In other areas of business development:
- New subscription product launched: Our next-generation IKE PoleForeman product was
released to the market in the period, having been designed with a customer council
including the Engineering Standards leaders from five-of-the-ten largest investor-owned
utilities and the largest communications company in the United States. We are
optimistic that this new product will deliver significant value to existing customers and
to the wider market. Because of the associated new features, subscription business
model and pricing, during FY24 and FY25 it is expected this product will drive an additive
$6-7m of annual recurring subscription revenue from the existing PoleForeman
customer footprint, so up to five times higher than legacy product levels. A launch
webinar, attended by more than 300 North American utility, communications, and
engineering companies, can be viewed at
https://ikegps.com/ike-poleforeman/ .
- Cost-down program: In Q3, we reduced IKE’s cost base to maintain the timeframe
towards both EBITDA and cash positive operations. Regrettably this included releasing
team members representing approximately 19% of total employee numbers. Most of
the impacted roles are U.S. based back-office and service positions. We have also
reduced other contractor cost items. In total we expect the impact of this process to
reduce annualized costs by approximately $4m. As consistently stated, management
and the Board remain cognizant of the importance of maintaining a strong balance
sheet position, executing against immediate revenue growth opportunities, whilst
retaining the ability to manage costs appropriately.
- Training business acquisition: In 1H, we acquired the assets of the Marne & Associates
NESC compliance training business to allow us to add more value to, learn from, and
cross-sell our technology products to end users via our expanding Training and
Education offerings. We anticipate training thousands of engineers at U.S. electric
utilities over the coming 12-18 months and have already hosted several training NESC
webinars with attendees exceeding 400 engineers per session from U.S. electric utilities,
communications companies, and engineering firms.
- Customer expansion: We have seen continued expansion of various existing customers.
Several new and important tier-1 enterprise groups have been onboarded in the 1H
period and we expect more to follow in 2H. 1H customer wins include a North-East
electric utility group ranked in North America’s top ten investor-owned utilities in a deal
worth more than $400k subscription revenue over the next three years. Another material
win was a contract with a national communications company for expected $1.5m+
subscription
revenue. This is supporting an assessment of more than one million
distribution assets in California, and cross-sales into other regions of their business are
in progress.
The long-term growth outlook for IKE remains strong. Key market drivers include the
requirement for North American electric utilities to build grid capacity & resiliency over the
coming 20-plus years and the race between more than 200 communications companies to build
fibre & 5G networks across the U.S. and Canada. IKE solutions drive significant productivity
benefits into these network engineering programmes. We anticipate that a healthy run rate of
new contracts will close in the 2H FY24 period and beyond.”

-As signaled, revenue in 1H FY24 was below pcp due to
timing delays of engineering programs across three of
IKE’s largest national infrastructure customers.
Specifically, this resulted in:
-Ongoing growth in recurring subscription revenue, but
-Lower reoccurring transaction revenue in the period vs pcp
-Overall, lower revenue in 1H FY24 vs pcp
-Importantly, the delayed long-term customers referred to
are not ‘lost’ and these groups are guiding for high levels of
IKE product usage over the coming periods
-In addition, the company continued to see ongoing strong
growth in recurring subscription revenue vs pcp
-IKE’s additive sales opportunity pipeline supports the
potential for substantially increased contracts and
revenue in the 2H FY24 period, and beyond, from existing
customers and new logos
