Chairman’s Statement & Management Outlook
“As a provider of innovative technology, products and solutions for the satellite ground equipment sector with a global customer base, 2025 has so far continued to present a challenging trading environment for the Group. Over recent years, the broader satellite communications industry has been facing the continuing decline of certain segments, notably the Direct-to-Home market.
We have also seen consolidation among large players within our industry, which has caused uncertainty and delays to our business which has delayed the awards with key projects. The Asia region in particular has been a challenge for us with a number of key customers deferring their procurement decisions. With this situation still ongoing, we expect to continue to see a challenging market condition for the Group’s businesses.
At the same time, the Company believes that there are emerging signs that the satellite communications market is starting to grow. This is largely driven by a growing demand for connectivity, the launch of Low Earth Orbit (“LEO”) constellations of satellites that bring faster connectivity and high capacity at lower costs to meet evolving customer needs. The current geopolitical situation across the world is making satellite more important than ever in the defense sector, keeping communications connected regardless of location or local infrastructure.
Global Invacom has dedicated resources to developing new and innovative technologies designed to strengthen its product portfolio, help its customers maximise the potential of the evolving market across all orbits, and position the Group as a leading player in the ever-changing satellite industry.
As the momentum in the sector continues to strengthen, the Group is well positioned to respond to market needs and succeed in the medium to long term, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
With reference to the announcement made on 2 June 2025 on the US\$3.8 million XRJ Transceiver contract awarded to a new customer in the Middle East, the management is in the process of confirmation with the customer, and, barring unforeseen circumstances, the delivery of the product is expected to be made from Q3 FY2025 onwards.”
Business Risks & Outlook
- Challenging Trading Conditions: Demand for Direct-to-Home products remains weak, and key projects are delayed due to industry consolidation.
- Emerging Opportunities: Growth in LEO satellite deployments and rising demand for connectivity are positive long-term drivers.
- Asset Sales: The disposal of North American manufacturing assets and planned UK property sale are expected to improve capital structure.
- No Dividend: The absence of dividend payments reflects current operating conditions and the Group’s focus on cash preservation.
- Cash Position: Decreased to \$3.6m, with customer advance payments included. Borrowing levels are modest but scheduled to decrease.
Conclusion & Investment Recommendation
Overall Financial Performance and Outlook:
The Group’s financial performance for 1H FY2025 remains weak, with significant year-on-year declines in revenue, gross profit, and net asset value. The net loss has narrowed, but the lack of revenue growth and ongoing industry headwinds continue to weigh on results. Management is cautiously optimistic about medium- and long-term opportunities as the satellite communications sector evolves, but challenges persist in the near term.
Investment Recommendation
- If you are currently holding the stock:
Consider maintaining a cautious stance. The company’s restructuring efforts and focus on technology innovation may yield positive results in the medium to long term, but ongoing losses and uncertain market conditions present risk. Review your position regularly and monitor for signs of operational improvement or successful contract execution.
- If you are not currently holding the stock:
There is little near-term justification for initiating a position based on current financials. The Group faces ongoing losses, revenue decline, and weak sector conditions. Investors may wish to wait for clearer signs of growth, margin improvement, or contract wins before considering entry.
