Operational Overview

Mobilicom had a productive quarter, fulfilling its backlog of confirmed orders, receiving thirteen new contracts from both new and existing customers valued at over $550,000 and securing its first ICE Cybersecurity sale from the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD). Over the quarter, key orders the Company received included the fifth order from Teledyne-Fliras part of the design-winand integration process into their new drone platform, another repeat order from Elbit as part of their systems deployment for their international customer, and further orders from AZUR Drones in France and Censys Technologies in the US. The Company continues to execute on its growth strategy, targeting long-termdesign win contracts and additional smart solution components sales to global Tier-1drone and robotics manufacturers.

Commenting on the Company's Q4 FY21 performance, Mobilicom CEO Oren Elkayam said, "We are rapidly commercialising our innovative ICE cybersecurity software, securing our first sale to a leading military and defence cybersecurity user, IMOD, and commencing real-world technical validation. Infield implementation is already underway with IMOD, and upon successful validation, we anticipate it will support new cybersecurity sales to other drone and robotics manufacturers. Our growing software and services offering provides us with a significant long-term growth opportunity to cross-sell to all users of our field-proven hardware solutions.

"Two new R&D grants reflect our expertise in developing cutting-edge technologies for the drone and robotics market. While Mobilicom remains focused on increasing sales of its existing offering, we continue to work on future products that address key customer concerns such as safety and wireless 5G connectivity. The results of these research projects will provide significant long-term competitive advantages.

"We continue to gain traction with our refreshed go-to-market strategy, offering customers end-to-end smart solutions that are field-proven and optimised for critical commercial and industrial applications.

Our growing product offering is enabling us to increase the revenue contribution of existing customers through the sale of additional smart solution components, cybersecurity and software and services. Given the scalability of our cybersecurity software, we are well-positioned to increase our revenues in FY22 and beyond."

First cybersecurity contract

In November, Mobilicom received a $270,000 sale of its AI-based 360° cybersecurity software from the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD). This first sale to a global leader in cybersecurity for military and defence applications is an important technical and commercial validation.

Mobilicom will embed its Immunity, Cybersecurity and Encryption (ICE) cybersecurity software within its networking smart solutions being used in IMOD's tactical drones and robotics platforms. The multilayered software provides real-time autonomous protection against multiple cyber breaches and malicious attacks without requiring intervention by an operator. It protects the platform, safeguards communication channels, and encrypts the data that is transmitted and collected.

As part of the contract, the IMOD will conduct extensive in-field implementation of Mobilicom's cybersecurity software under a range of conditions. Following in-field validation, all future IMOD purchases of Mobilicom's networking and datalink smart hardware solutions will also include cybersecurity software.

Research and development programs

During the quarter, Mobilicom was awarded two research and development grants totalling $917,000 for existing projects with the Wireless Intelligent Networks (WIN) Consortium and Space Florida USA. Mobilicom will receive $582,000 net grant funding to develop wireless AI to enable and optimise the performance of 5G technology in unmanned platforms - the second phase of the WIN Consortium program. Mobilicom was awarded a further $335,000 net grant funding for the second year of the Space Florida R&D program in partnership with US drone company Censys Technologies. The two companies are developing an Autonomous Platforms Dual Datalink (APDL) communications system to improve drone safety and drone operations beyond visual-line-of-sight.

Financial

For the quarter, customer receipts were $1.4 million, a 214% increase on pcp, and 61% increase on the prior quarter. Overall in FY21 this has driven a 26% increase in customer receipts to $4.0 million as a result of strong growth in customer demand for Mobilicom's products and services. Additionally, the Company was awarded a further $917,000 in R&D grant funding expected to be received as the two projects progress, mostly over the course of FY22.

Net cash used in operations was $230,000, an 74% decline on the prior quarter, however overall operating expenditure remains broadly flat quarter on quarter. The overall improvement in operations reflect optimised operating procedures and a reduction in non-core activities. Additionally, business activities grew significantly compared to the prior corresponding period.

Mobilicom remains well-funded to execute on its growth strategy with a cash balance of $4.0 million as of 31 December 2021.

Outlook

Operating within the fast-growing commercial and industrial drone and robotics market, Mobilicom is the only provider of end-to-end hardware and software solutions for drones, robotics, and autonomous platforms.
