Insights

Vertical Aerospace's H1 2024 results show promising progress in aircraft development but highlight ongoing financial challenges. The company reported an operating loss of £20 million ($25 million), primarily due to prototype development costs. While this demonstrates capital efficiency, it underscores the need for additional funding.

The $34 million received from Rolls-Royce provides a temporary cash buffer, but Vertical's cash position of £67 million ($84 million) as of June 30, 2024, is concerning given the projected H2 2024 cash burn of £40-45 million. The company's ability to secure the second $25 million tranche from Stephen Fitzpatrick's investment agreement is important for extending its runway.

The upcoming 1-for-10 reverse stock split suggests an attempt to maintain NYSE listing requirements, which could be indicative of share price pressures. Investors should closely monitor Vertical's fundraising efforts, as successful capital raising is critical for the company's survival and progress towards certification.

Vertical Aerospace has made significant strides in their VX4 eVTOL development. The completion of Phase 1 piloted flight tests with the new prototype, featuring 60% tier-one aerospace partner technology, marks a important milestone. The successful integration of proprietary batteries and optimized propellers demonstrates technological advancement.

The aircraft's stability, particularly in challenging ground effect conditions, is promising. However, the transition to untethered thrustborne testing is a critical next phase that will truly test the VX4's capabilities. The expanded Design Organisation Approval (DOA) from the CAA is a positive step towards certification, but the path remains long and complex.

The acceptance into the UK MOD's Uncrewed Air Systems Heavy Lift Challenge framework opens potential military applications, diversifying Vertical's market opportunities. However, investors should note that eVTOL certification for civilian use remains the primary hurdle and focus for the company's success.

Vertical Aerospace's market position shows both promise and challenges. The company's presence at the Farnborough International Airshow and the Pioneers event demonstrates active engagement with potential customers and stakeholders. The unique Apple Vision Pro experience for the new prototype indicates innovative marketing approaches.

The acceptance into the UK MOD's £95 million Uncrewed Air Systems Heavy Lift Challenge framework opens doors to military contracts, potentially diversifying revenue streams. However, this should be viewed cautiously as it's still in early stages and may not significantly impact near-term financials.

The appointment of experienced aerospace professionals and FTSE executives to key positions strengthens Vertical's leadership team. This could enhance investor confidence and industry relationships. However, the frequent changes in top management, including the CEO position, might raise concerns about long-term stability and strategy execution. Investors should monitor how these leadership changes impact the company's direction and operational efficiency.

Vertical Issues Shareholder Letter

LONDON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vertical Aerospace Ltd. (“Vertical” or the "Company") (NYSE: EVTL; EVTLW), a global aerospace and technology company that is pioneering zero emission aviation, announces its financial results for the first half of the year ended June 30, 2024. Vertical has also issued a shareholder letter in conjunction with the filing of its first half-year results, which is posted to its investor relations website at investor.vertical-aerospace.com.

Stuart Simpson, CEO at Vertical, said:

“During the past few months we have delivered our most advanced full-scale VX4 prototype, have gone from first powered ground test to 'wheels up’ in just one week and completed the first phase of our piloted test flight programme. Every day I continue to be deeply impressed by the phenomenal engineers we have and the progress we are making here in Bristol as we build a new generation of aviation. This could not be a more exciting time to follow Vertical as we accelerate through our piloted flight tests and work closely with the UK Civil Aviation Authority, our home regulator, on the path to certification.”

First Half-Year 2024 and Recent Operational Updates

  • Flight tests of new VX4 prototype: Vertical unveiled its next full-scale VX4 prototype in July and began piloted flight tests days later, following the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) issuing a Permit to Fly. This more advanced aircraft has 60% of its technology from tier-one aerospace partners, up from 10% on the previous prototype, marking a significant step towards the final certification aircraft. This is also the first use of Vertical’s proprietary batteries, designed and developed at the Vertical Energy Centre, in a piloted aircraft. Vertical’s new proprietary propellers designed specifically for eVTOLs are optimised for low noise and made of carbon fibre composite using a single-shot cure process to maximise integrity.
  • The VX4 recently completed Phase 1 of the piloted test flight programme. During Phase 1, the VX4 prototype conducted multiple piloted tethered flights and ground runs, across 20 piloted test sorties, completing a total of 70 individual test points, measuring 35,000 flight and system parameters. Vertical is now preparing to progress to piloted untethered thrustborne testing, as soon as it receives permission from the CAA. The flight tests have already shown the aircraft’s incredible stability – particularly in ground effect, typically one of the most challenging flight conditions.
  • Certification Progress: The CAA expanded the scope of Vertical’s Design Organisation Approval (DOA), which is a requirement for the Type Certification of the VX4 and its entry into service. At the same time, there has been strong regulatory collaboration, with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the CAA agreeing how they will work together on the certification of the VX4.
  • Go To Market: At the Farnborough International Airshow, the team met existing and prospective customers, investors, suppliers, regulators and government agencies, who were able to explore the new prototype using a unique Apple Vision Pro experience. Vertical also brought its customers together in London for their Pioneers event in Q2 to bring them up to speed on the latest developments and hear their feedback.
    In August, the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) accepted Vertical’s application to join their Uncrewed Air Systems Heavy Lift Challenge framework. The aim of this £95m framework is to define capabilities and test solutions for the Royal Navy for non-weaponised cargo drone operations, with a special focus on ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship missions. Acceptance onto this framework means Vertical can participate in tenders issued by the Royal Navy, facilitating Vertical’s access to R&D funding, development support and in particular, the collaboration across the Uncrewed Air System community that membership of Defence Equipment & Support’s Heavy Lift Capability Framework provides.
  • Our People: Vertical continues to attract world-class aerospace professionals, including, Martyn Ashford, Head of Aircraft Programmes Development from Leonardo. It also appointed Ben Story to the Board of Directors as an independent non-executive director and Charlotte Cowley as Director of Strategic Finance responsible for executing Vertical’s fundraising strategy. Ben was formerly Strategic Marketing Director at FTSE 100 Rolls-Royce plc and, before that, Managing Director at Citi. Charlotte has previously led Investor Relations for the FTSE100 Burberry Group plc, and FTSE250 Aston Martin Lagonda plc, where she supported successful capital raises. In May 2024, Stuart Simpson, formerly Vertical’s CFO and a seasoned FTSE100 executive, was appointed as CEO to lead the company through the pivotal phase of certifying and commercializing its VX4 aircraft. Stephen Fitzpatrick, founder, majority shareholder and former CEO of Vertical, remains on Vertical’s board of directors as a non-executive director, focusing on business strategy and the delivery of the company’s vision.
    In September 2024, Vincent Casey was appointed to rejoin the Vertical Board as a Non-Executive Director, having previously served as a member of the board of directors from May 2021 to August 2023 and as Vertical’s Chief Financial Officer from November 2020 to February 2023. Vincent is currently the Chief Financial Officer at Ovo Energy, a leading energy supply group that includes one of Europe’s largest independent energy retailers, a company he joined in 2013.

First Half-Year 2024 and Recent Financial Updates

  • Vertical maintained its industry-leading capital efficiency with an H1 2024 operating loss of £20 million ($25 million). The operating loss for the period primarily reflects the spend to successfully complete Vertical’s second full-scale prototype aircraft.
  • In May 2024, Vertical mutually agreed to exit Rolls-Royce's contract to design an Electric Propulsion Unit (EPU). Under the agreement, Vertical received $34 million from Rolls-Royce which is expected to cover the anticipated costs of an alternative EPU design contract and provided an extension to the cash runway. This followed Rolls-Royce's announcement in November 2023 of its intention to seek a partner or buyer for its advanced air mobility activities. Vertical is already working with other EPU suppliers and does not anticipate this having any impact on the completion of their prototypes.
  • Over the half, Vertical was awarded an £8 million ($10 million) UK Government grant from the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) for its next-generation propeller development. Vertical also received a cash amount of $25 million from Imagination Aero Investments Ltd., a company owned by Vertical founder, Stephen Fitzpatrick, in connection with an investment agreement dated February 22, 2024 (the “Investment Agreement”). Vertical is in discussion with regards to the second $25 million tranche of the investment committed under the Investment Agreement, which remains outstanding.

Financial Outlook

  • As of June 30, 2024, Vertical had cash and cash equivalents of £67m / $84m.
  • The 2024 capital plan continues to remain on track, with net cash outflows from operations in the second half of the year expected to be between £40m to £45m.
  • Net cash outflows incurred in the second half of the year will be in relation to the advancement of Vertical’s piloted flight test programme.
  • As of the date of this report, Vertical had approximately £48m / $63m of cash and cash equivalents on hand.
  • As previously announced, Vertical will need to raise capital to fund its future operations and remain as a going concern. Vertical intends to do so and are in discussions regarding potential third party investment. The timely receipt of an amount equal or equivalent to the second tranche committed under the Investment Agreement is required to extend its projected cash runway into the third quarter of 2025 (from the second quarter of 2025).
  • On September 16, 2024, following the requisite shareholder approvals at Vertical’s Annual General Meeting earlier on the same day, Vertical’s Board of Directors authorised the implementation of a reverse share split at a ratio of 1 for 10, with an effective date of September 20, 2024.

The above forward-looking statements reflect our expectations for the six months ending June 30, 2024, as of September 17, 2024, and are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our results are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, but may be materially affected by many factors, as discussed below in “Forward-Looking Statements.”
