VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ: VVPR) (“VivoPower,” the “Company”) today announced its preliminary results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
Highlights for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022:
A reconciliation of IFRS (“International Financial Reporting Standards”) to non-IFRS financial measures has been provided in the financial statement table included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below, under the heading “About Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”
“The financial year ended June 30, 2022, was particularly challenging with numerous headwinds including strict COVID lockdowns in our key markets during the first half of the year, followed by supply chain shortages, extended logistics delays and COVID-19 related costs in the second half of the year which affected our ability to operate and deliver efficiently. Our financial results were as a consequence adversely affected, with revenues constrained and group operating losses exacerbated by a US$1.9m one off COVID driven loss in relation to the Bluegrass Solar project in Australia and foreign exchange. However, we did manage to execute on a number of important objectives in keeping with our strategic goals. This included securing a commercial definitive agreement with Toyota Australia, expanding our EV kit distribution network globally, adding further EV kit commitments and orders, as well as transitioning Tembo from a Netherlands centric operation to a business with an international mindset and presence with subsidiaries in Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Southeast Asia. Post balance date, we have been able to continue our execution momentum, including divesting of non-core business units in Australia, completion of a capital raising and signing our first EV kit memorandum of understanding in the Middle East. Furthermore, the tailwinds for our various business units have strengthened in the past few months, with developments such as the ratification of the Inflation Reduction Act in the United States and the added government impetus in Australia that is fuelling a record level of solar power development. No doubt, there will continue to be challenges to overcome in the short term, but we remain resolute as a team focussed on achieving our medium to long term strategic, financial and impact goals,” said Kevin Chin, VivoPower’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
About Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Our preliminary results include certain non-IFRS financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net after-tax loss and adjusted EPS. Management believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with peer companies, many of which use similar non-IFRS or non-GAAP (“Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”) financial measures to supplement their IFRS or GAAP results. Non-IFRS results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only to aid in understanding our results of operations. The non-IFRS results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from non-IFRS or non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
The table included in this press release titled “Reconciliation of Adjusted (Underlying) EBITDA to IFRS Financial Measures” provides reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures to the most recent directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.
