Thanks great summary
Main points I took from the presentation is that:
● contracted revenue for 2024 has increased significantly to £30-£36M - industry players are approaching velocity. 2022 - £12M turnover, so a large increase
● Due to be 'very profitable' in the second half of next financial year (2024). This is based on the revenues that are already secured
● P&L account will be transformed into a profitable business next year, fixed costs are already set
● Aim is to be £100M turnover in 5 years
● The majority of investment is done, equipment, technology, services, people, US facility
● Significant pipeline of opportunities with large numbers proposed
● Surrounded by large Tier 1 organisations in the US
● No real competitors providing this service, main competitors are the customers undertaking this service themselves which does not provide the cost savings (very niche offering)
● Near term growth supports 10% EBITDA
● Return on capital circa 25%
A decent presentation however, slightly unprofessional towards the end where the question was raised regarding share options, Andy questioned the chap on his understanding of options and it got slightly awkward. I also felt that they weren't really all in sync with each other, Andy B stepped in a lot when the financial questions were posed and answered vaguely by Andrew Hebb. Just my take on it, however, a positive presentation nonetheless.
Would have liked more questions posed on future contracts, discussions with Tier 1's etc. We last heard from the company back in July when they stated they were in advanced discussions with a large Tier 1 organisation, we really could do with an update on that in order to settle the market.
Putting it politely, they seemed to be very 'astute' with their timing so I assume it came before the placing.....
They sold out during the Summer -
''A total of 460,614 shares in Velocity Composites plc were sold during the period. No shares were held in Velocity Composites plc at the end of the period.''
Well no trades. Nobody was impressed with the presentation.. Why ? Where is it ? It should be on line, unless it's the same one from a few weeks ago.
I still have hope for news this year. Last years' major contract RNS was very late into the year.
Did anyone attend the shares mag presentation yesterday? If so, would welcome any feedback or info
Its not looking good for any news this year....Approx 1 week left before everything starts to close down for Christmas
What is happening its over a year since the current contract was announced. lets have news on the next client BOD come on
Not before time and a chance to quiz with questions after presentation with important company and share-holder updates next week.

This was from the October update still all quiet on western front
"The Board is pleased to announce that it is in advanced discussions with a large, global Tier 1 composites manufacturer with multiple sites in the US on another agreement. Further announcements will be made, as appropriate."
The above is from a RNS in JUly were is the news?

Appreciate your post. Ive already top-up a few times may do again in the next week or so
46Gillingham - absolutely! There is no volume here at the moment, hence we are stuck around the 40p mark. It will soon be on radars though and as its been said previously, this one sure motors when the volume arrives.
If you put all of the pieces together here (which have been communicated openly by the company), then you can read into what is about to happen over in the US and Europe. The US facility is way off full capacity, the facility is located bang in the middle of several Tier 1 companies, open discussions are happening and have been for a while, aircraft need to weigh less in order to meet new regulations regarding fuel consumption and velocity have a niche process that works and can save money for the Tier 1's... they are also in a good position with cash due to the recent raise. Everything stacks up nicely.
The company are local to me in the UK (one of my reasons for investing) and people are starting to talk more about their potential to grow and take their positions... not long to go, excitement will soon build - all in my opinion of course ;-)

Very happy if your are correct. Ill keep my finger crossed for us both
Hopefully. We are certainly due some news and we all know the company are in advanced discussions with a Tier 1. If we get a December period like last year then I expect this to be well above £1 in Q1 2024. As always stated £2 is my target here
Will we get an update by EOY?
The 15-60p ride was quite fun! They have increased the number of shares since then but I assume the VCT ones will be reasonably sticky. If they announce another large contract it will do another big step up.
Some chunky buys too.............this SP doesn't half move quickly so strap yourself in for a ride
Still moving north
