CAP-XX Limited
("CAP-XX" or the "Company")
Interim Results for the half-year ended 31 December 2018
CAP-XX Limited, a world leader in the design and manufacture of thin, flat supercapacitors and energy management systems, is pleased to announce its interim results for the half-year ended 31 December 2018.
Key highlights
-- Total Sales Revenue of A$1.6 million (2017: A$1.5million) up 4%
-- Increased like for like gross margin of 54.1% (2017: 49.1%) due to realisation of the Company's previously announced manufacturing initiatives*
-- Continuing improvement in EBITDA performance. EBITDA loss reduced to A$1.0 million (2017: loss A$1.4 million)**
-- TDK licence arrangement completed in October 2018. Ongoing licencing negotiations with numerous other international parties are at varying stages
-- Sales pipeline for prismatic and cylindrical can supercapacitors are at historically high levels. The Company is reviewing options for additional production capacity. In the short term, due to worldwide economic uncertainties, the timing of when certain significant pipeline projects may move to the mass production stage remains unclear
-- Product development initiatives remain on track, particularly for the 3 Volt product
-- 5% reduction in year on year overhead expenses of A$2.8 million (2017: A$3.0 million), excluding share based payments expense
-- Cash reserves as at 31 December 2018 were A$4.6 million (2017: A$1.5 million) which includes the proceeds of the equity subscription in November 2018 (GBP1.75 million) and the R&D Tax Rebate of A$1.6 million
* Current period Gross Margin result and prior period comparative Gross Margin results have been adjusted to reflect changes in the accounting policy for Gross Margin as set out in Note 2.
** EBITDA excludes amortisation of employee share options.
Anthony Kongats, CEO of CAP-XX said:
"Significant milestones for CAP-XX were delivered over the six months to 31 December 2018. The benefits from previously highlighted manufacturing initiatives are being realised, with a significant improvement in reported gross margins. The ongoing growth in the pipeline of major new sales projects has given the Board the confidence to start examining options for expanding production capacity. The TDK licence agreement has been signed and good progress has been made towards the completion of several other licence arrangements. Development of future product releases, especially the 3V product, remains on schedule."
Electronic copies of CAP-XX's interim results for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 will shortly be available from the Company's website: www.cap-xx.com.

Notes to Editors:
CAP-XX (LSE: CPX) is a world leader in the design and manufacture of thin, flat supercapacitors and energy management systems used in portable and small-scale electronic devices, and to an increasing extent, in larger applications such as automotive and renewable energy. The unique feature of CAP-XX supercapacitors is their very high power density and high energy storage capacity in a space-efficient prismatic package. These attributes are essential in power-hungry consumer and industrial electronics, and deliver similar benefits in automotive and other transportation applications.

Chairman's statement The Company's performance for the six months ended 31 December 2018 has delivered some material steps towards the achievement of the organisation's short to medium-term goals. The six months ended 31 December 2018 can be characterised by: gross margin improvement due to the full realisation of process and production initiatives that have been highlighted in previous reports (and notwithstanding the changes in accounting policies described below); royalties from the TDK licence arrangement beginning to be received; and healthy cash reserves due to the proceeds from an equity subscription and the R&D Tax rebate being received. Additionally, the historically high sales pipeline augurs well for long-term sales growth prospects. In order to represent more accurately the Gross Margin being delivered by the sale of CAP-XX's goods and services, adjustments have been made in the statements of profit or loss and financial position to transfer the impact of both expenditure on eligible research and development activities and work in progress production from the cost of sale of goods and services to operating expenditure and work in progress inventory respectively. This adjustment has been made in both the current period and the comparative period presented below, to ensure that a like for like comparison remains in place. Further details regarding this adjustment can be found in Note 2 below. The sales pipeline for both prismatic and the recently released cylindrical can supercapacitors are at historically high levels and covers several key market segments, including Automotive, Healthcare, Industrial and Tracking. These opportunities are at various stages of the sales process, but provide the Board and management with confidence in CAP-XX's medium to longer-term sales revenue prospects. To this end, the Board has asked the Company to look at options to increase its manufacturing capacity, including both internal and external manufacturing process options. In the short-term, the degree of current worldwide economic uncertainty may result in some delays as to when certain of the identified projects within the pipeline may proceed to mass production. Projects are not being cancelled, but are at risk of slippage in terms of the timing of when initial orders were expected to be received. This is a common finding when negotiating with third-parties in the electronic components industry. It is too early to determine the effect that any such timing slippage may have on the results for the second half of the current financial year. Total revenue for the six months to 31 December 2018 was A$1.6 million (2017: A$1.5 million). Product sales were up on the previous year by 5%. Royalty and licencing revenue were flat when compared to the previous year. For the six-month operating period ended 31 December 2018, the EBITDA loss of A$1.0 million (2017: EBITDA loss of A$1.4 million), which excludes the amortisation of the share based payment expense, improved A$0.4 million or 32% from the previous year. Cash reserves as at 31 December 2018 were A$4.6 million (2017: A$1.5 million), benefiting from the proceeds of the equity subscription in November 2018 (GBP1.75 million) as well as the receipt of A$1.6 million (2017: A$1.6 million) from a R&D Tax Rebate in the same month. The Board was pleased to finalise the TDK licencing arrangements in October 2018 and the initial payments from this agreement have been received over the last six months. There are still several other material licensing agreements being negotiated with several worldwide potential licencees, although given that these licencing discussions are all at differing stages of completion, the Board is reluctant to state publicly when they are likely to be completed. However, it should be stressed that the successful completion of licencing negotiations remains a key short-term objective for the CAP-XX management team. The CAP-XX research and development team are on track for the delivery of their product development road map, with no major obstacles being encountered. This is especially the case for the development of the 3V product which remains on track for release later in 2019. The Board remains confident that the Company is starting to make material progress towards the achievement of its long-term goal of achieving a cash break-even position as soon as possible. In terms of the outcome for the full year ending 30 June 2019, although the Company's long-term sales pipeline is healthy, CAP-XX's immediate concern is the short term sales revenue position, and the Board intends to provide a trading update in respect of the second half of the 2019 financial year before the end of April 2019, once all relevant customer visits are completed and their short term order positions are better understood.

In order to reflect accurately the delivered gross margin, an adjustment has been made to the value of cost of goods and services. This adjustment is necessary to value the expenditure associated with the cost of sale of goods and services in order to accurately record the Gross Margin generated from the sale of CAP-XX's goods and services. Having revisited the gross margin calculation, it has been found that the value of cost of goods and services has been overstated, which has principally included materials, inventory being understated and process and engineering expenses being understated. This is due to the adjustments required in the valuation of work in progress inventory and the reclassification of feedstock expenditure associated with eligible research and development expenditure. This error has been corrected and is reflected in the relevant balances recorded at 31 December 2018 and for the comparative period.
