VMOTO ACHIEVES ANOTHER RECORD RESULT WITH
PROFITABLE GROWTH CONTINUING
announcement 1 SEPTEMBER 2015
Vmoto Limited (ASX: VMT) is pleased to announce its results for
the six months ended 30 June 2015 (1H15) that saw the Company
deliver another record performance and generating strong growth
across all key metrics.
Commenting on the 1H15 result, Managing Director Charles Chen
said: "Vmoto has delivered on its clearly defined strategy of
targeting high margin international unit sales, while also
continuing to develop the brand's presence in the domestic Chinese
market.
"The Company's strategy to pursue high margin international
sales has enjoyed early success, with a 68% increase in
international unit sales underpinning the growth in profits.
"With sales volume over the past six months in line with
management expectations, Vmoto is well positioned to achieve its
stated NPAT guidance for 2015 of between $5 million and $7 million.
We have also received significant interest for potential
collaborations with international groups that will complement and
enhance our existing customer base, and we look forward to
reporting on these in the coming months," said Mr Chen.
Key financial highlights
-- Revenue up 57% to $24.9 million (1H14: $15.9 million)
-- EBITDA up 264% to $2.1 million (1H14: $574k)
-- Statutory NPAT up 379% to $1.0 million (1H14: $211k)
-- Underlying NPAT (after removing non-cash expenses) up 122% to
$1.6 million(1) (1H14: $705k(2) )
-- Strong balance sheet, with gross cash of $11.1 million (31 December 2014: $3.8 million)
Key operational highlights
-- Total units sold up 13% to 41,503 units (1H14: 36,705)
-- Units sold to international customers up 68% to 7,211 (1H14: 4,284)
-- Expanded retail sales network in China with over 43 outlets
comprising company owned retail stores and third party
distributor/dealer relationships
-- Continued growth in new international markets, including Denmark, Malaysia and Vietnam
-- Appointed a distributor for the UK and Irish markets
-- Progressed with the establishment of internet based retail sales platform
-- Progressed discussions with PowerEagle to extend production agreement post 2015
-- Successfully raised $8.9 million through an oversubscribed
placement to existing and new institutional and sophisticated
investors in Australia and the UK to fund growth initiatives.
Commenting on Vmoto's 1H15 performance, Mr Chen said he was
pleased with how the Company was tracking in terms of revenue and
profit, and he expects to see unit sales continue to grow in the
second half as the online sales platform becomes operational and
new international distributors receive their first shipments.
"Vmoto has developed a reputation as a prestigious, high quality
brand, both in China and internationally. Making our products more
accessible through our soon to be launched online sales platform
will drive increased sales volumes of the Vmoto brand.
"Vmoto has progressed a number of international opportunities
over the first half of 2015, commencing discussions with a
significant European supermarket group and a high-tech North
American company developing shared transportation and communication
systems for electric vehicles.
"Vmoto also appointed a new distributor for the UK and Ireland,
with delivery of that distributor's first order scheduled for this
quarter. This exclusive distribution agreement for the UK and
Ireland is an exciting step for Vmoto and will strengthen the
visibility and accessibility of Vmoto's brand and products in
international markets, which is in line with our strategy to target
higher margin international sales.
"Following our successful, oversubscribed $8.9 million raising,
Vmoto has further strengthened its balance sheet, putting the
Company in a strong position to pursue several strategic
initiatives that will underpin future growth," added Mr Chen.
Outlook
Vmoto will continue to execute its strategy of targeting high
margin international sales and growth markets. The first half of
this year has seen the Company progress significant new market
entry and distribution opportunities, including North America,
Italy, Switzerland, the UK, Ireland and New Zealand. These and
further new markets will be developed over the second half of this
year as the Company looks to deliver the growth that will drive
achievement of its earnings forecast.
The three-wheel and four-wheel electric vehicle company, in
which Vmoto holds a 20% equity interest, re-located its operations
to Vmoto's Nanjing manufacturing facility, after initially
producing units externally. This company focuses on three-wheel and
four-wheel electric vehicles that have applications across a number
of industries, including freight and goods delivery, leisure and
sightseeing and transportation for the aged and disabled
population. Any revenue generated will initially be re-invested
back into the company as it scales up.
With plenty of capacity remaining in Vmoto's production
facility, the Company is well positioned to continue ramping up its
volume to meet growing global demand for its electric vehicles and
benefit from further economies of scale.
The second half of the year is historically stronger than the
first. With more domestic and international distributors and
customers due to visit the factory to discuss and finalise orders,
production and sales are expected to increase over the coming
months in line with expectations previously provided to the
market.

3. Review of Activities
The consolidated revenue for the six month period ended 30 June
2015 was up 57% to $24,891,217 (six month period ended 30 June
2014: $15,862,018).
During the six month period ended 30 June 2015, the Company
increased its distribution footprint in China, which as at 30 June
2015 comprised a total of 43 outlets through a combination of its
own retail outlets and third party distributors across China.
During the period, the Company distributed a total of 41,503 units
(six month period ended 30 June 2014: 36,705 units) as it continued
ramping up its production across its domestic and international
sales channel. Of these sales 23,253 units were sold to PowerEagle
in addition to 11,039 of Vmoto's own units sold through Vmoto's
comprehensive distribution network and retail stores, and 7,211 own
units sold to other international distributors and customers.
The Consolidated Entity achieved a gross profit margin of 16.2%
for the six month period ended 30 June 2015 (six month period ended
30 June 2014: 15.5%). The improved margin reflected the benefits of
economies of scale as the Company continues to ramp up its
production of electric two-wheel vehicle products, especially those
to international customers. The Company is confident that the gross
profit margin will continue to increase with further economies of
scale generated as production of units at Vmoto's manufacturing
facilities in Nanjing, China (the "Nanjing Facility") increases in
anticipation of higher sales in the coming financial years.
The Company's increasing revenues and profits are a clear
demonstration of the growing traction Vmoto brands are achieving in
both the Chinese and international markets. International sales are
continuing to increase as the Company is now recognised for its
premium electric scooters and is delivering on its strategy off the
back of this reputation.
Over the six month period ended 30 June 2015, the Consolidated
Entity's net assets have increased by 43.1% to $35.5 million.
Vmoto has continued with its strategy of design, manufacture and
distribution of high quality "green" electric powered two wheel
vehicles and a range of western designed electric two wheel
vehicles from its wholly owned Nanjing Facility.
The Company's international market continued to increase during
the six month period with existing and new customers seeking to
place new orders or agreements with the Company. During the six
month period numerous international customers visited the Nanjing
Facility including distributors from North America, Ecuador, Sri
Lanka, Turkey, Switzerland and New Zealand. The Company also signed
a distribution agreement with a United Kingdom company to
distribute, stock and market the Company's Vmoto and E-max range of
electric scooters for the United Kingdom and Irish markets.
The Chinese market remained strong during the six month period,
with a sales network of 43 outlets, including third party
distributors and company owned retail stores. China continues to be
the Company's largest market.
The Company commenced discussions with PowerEagle with a view to
entering a new OEM agreement at the end of 2015. A new agreement is
anticipated to be entered into in the coming months.
The Company is in the process of establishing an online based
retail sales platform that will open up a new sales stream for its
products. This is progressing well and is expected to be
operational and generating online sales by the end of 2015.
During the six month period ended 30 June 2015, the Company
completed a 1 for 10 share consolidation and successfully raised
A$8.9 million through an oversubscribed placement to existing and
new institutional and sophisticated investors in Australia and the
United Kingdom. The Company also received $117,000 from the
exercise of ESOP options.
As at 30 June 2015, the total operating facility drawn down was
RMB25 million (approximately A$5.2 million) and the total undrawn
operating facility was RMB9 million (approximately A$1.9
million).
As at 30 June 2015, the Company had cash of A$11.1 million.
COLLABORATIONS, TENDERS AND JOINT VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES
Vmoto continues to receive significant interest for potential
collaborations from new international customers. Among these are
discussions with a significant European supermarket group that has
over 300 stores and a high-tech North American company developing
shared transport and communication systems for electric vehicles
and a New Zealand company to OEM manufacture electric two-wheel
vehicle products wholly designed by its customers.
Discussions with these and other parties for potential orders or
collaboration are ongoing and further developments will be
announced as and when they occur.
CORPORATE
During the half year, the Company issued a total of 6,725,669
shares pre the share consolidation, comprising 1,175,669 shares to
consultants of the Company in consideration for services provided,
2,000,000 shares to Directors following the vesting of performance
rights and 3,550,000 shares to employees on the exercise of ESOP
options exercisable at $0.03 each on or before 23 November
2015.
Post the share consolidation, which was completed on 4 June
2015, the Company issued a further 19,780,000 Shares at $0.45 per
Share to raise $8.9 million (before costs), 35,000 Shares following
the exercise of ESOP options (exercisable at $0.30 each on or
before 23 November 2015), 266,668 shares to two Directors following
the vesting of performance rights and 38,095 shares to a Director
in lieu of Director fees, as approved at the Company Annual General
Meeting held on 21 May 2015.
OUTLOOK
The six month period ended 30 June 2015 was another productive
period for Vmoto as sales increased across the domestic and
international sales channels.
The Company expects to see further growth for the second half of
the year as it is historically stronger compared to the first half.
Vmoto continues to grow in line with management expectations as
more orders are received and new domestic and international
distributors and customers continue to visit the factory to discuss
and finalise orders and agreements.

notes to the conSOLIDATED financial statements
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The half year financial report does not include all notes of the
type normally included within the annual financial report and
therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of
the financial performance, financial position and financing and
investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full
financial report.
The half year financial report should be read in conjunction
with the Annual Financial Report of Vmoto Limited for the year
ended 31 December 2014.
It is also recommended that the half year financial report be
considered together with any public announcements made by Vmoto
Limited and its controlled entities during the half year ended 30
June 2015 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations
arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
(a) Basis of Preparation
The half year financial report is a general-purpose financial
report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard
AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going
concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business
activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Directors
believe this to be appropriate for the following reasons:
-- the Consolidated Entity has a significant working capital surplus;
-- the Consolidated Entity has long term supply agreements and
demand for its electric powered scooter products is increasing. As
the units increase, this will further reduce the cost of goods
manufactured due to achieving higher levels of economies of scale,
which will further improve the gross profit margins;
-- the Consolidated Entity achieved a profit during the period;
-- the Consolidated Entity's Stage 1 and 2 of the Nanjing
Facility have been completed and have been used as security for its
existing operating facility. As at the date of this report, RMB9
million (approximately AUD1.9 million) of the operating facility is
still available for draw down if required;
-- the Consolidated has successfully raised $8.9 million of capital to fund growth;
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
September 01, 2015 02:04 ET (06:04 GMT)
-- the Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate
the Consolidated Entity will be cash flow positive for the year
ending 31 December 2015 and will enable the Consolidated Entity to
pay its debts as and when they fall due.
At the date of this report and having considered the above
factors, the Directors are confident that the Consolidated Entity
and the Company will be able to continue operations into the
foreseeable future. The financial report does not include
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
the recorded assets and liabilities amounts that might be necessary
should the Consolidated Entity and the Company not continue as
going concerns.
(b) Significant changes in accounting policies
The half year consolidated financial statements have been
prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.
The Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board
(AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the
current half year.
The adoption of these amendments and interpretations does not
have any material impact on this half year financial report.
(c) Principles of Consolidation
The parent entity and its subsidiaries are collectively referred
to as the "Group". The parent of this Group is Vmoto Limited.
Entities over which the parent (or the Group) directly or
indirectly exercises control are called "subsidiaries". The
consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets,
liabilities and results of all subsidiaries. The Group controls an
entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The assets, liabilities and results of subsidiaries are fully
consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the
date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation
of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses
on transactions between group companies are fully eliminated on
consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity
of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
