TMT INVESTMENTS PLC

("TMT" or the "Company")

Half-year report for the six months to 30 June 2022

TMT Investments Plc (AIM: TMT), the venture capital company investing in high-growth technology companies, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the half-year ended 30 June 2022.

The interim report will shortly be available on the Company's website, www.tmtinvestments.com .

Highlights :

   --    NAV per share of US$6.68 (down 25.8% from US$9.00 as of 31 December 2021) 
   --    Total NAV of US$210.1 million (down from US$283.1 million as of 31 December 2021) 
   --    5-year IRR of 26.6% per annum 
   --    US$7.3 million of investments across 6 new and existing companies in the first half of 2022 

-- Diversified global portfolio of over 55 companies focused mainly around SaaS (software-as-a-service), marketplaces, big data/cloud, EdTech, FinTech, e-commerce, and FoodTech solutions

   --    US$13 million in cash reserves as of 15 August 2022 

Alexander Selegenev, Executive Director of TMT, commented:

"The first half of 2022 saw continued investor interest in high-growth, high-quality digital technology companies, resulting in positive revaluations of several of TMT's portfolio companies that have demonstrated ongoing growth throughout the period and received further validation for their business models by raising fresh equity capital at higher valuations, namely Accern, Outfund, FemTech, Spin Technology and Feel. In tandem, most other portfolio companies have continued to either grow their businesses quietly in the background or diligently react to the evolving market situation, adapting and repositioning their businesses as required.

We were reasonably pleased with our portfolio companies' performance in the first half of 2022, especially against the backdrop of the recent market volatility and the worsening economic outlook for the global economy. While the recent period of uncertainty has not been long enough to have a broad and sustained negative effect on the underlying businesses of technology companies, the recent larger-cap public market sell-off has led to reduced valuations of privately held start-ups, although with a significantly lower negative effect on the valuations of earlier-stage start-ups, the stage at which TMT is most closely focused.

The significantly reduced share prices of publicly traded technology companies negatively affected the value of TMT's equity stake in NASDAQ-traded cloud storage company Backblaze ( www.backblaze.com ), resulting in a US$43.6 million reduction in the value of TMT's investment in Backblaze as at 30 June 2022. Despite such financial market volatility, Backblaze's business has been developing well, recording 28% revenue growth in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 and the recent announcement of many new partnerships and integrations. Backblaze remains well capitalised with a reported net cash position of approximately US$51 million at 30 June 2022.

Consistent with TMT's prudent valuation policy, the Company has also decided to reduce the fair value of its equity stake in Bolt ( www.bolt.eu ) by 28%, despite the fact that the previous valuation level was established on the back of Bolt's successful EUR628 million equity raise, which completed only recently in January 2022 - after the market correction had started. This decision reflects the significant reduction in the values of Bolt's publicly traded peers, namely Uber and Lyft, as of 30 June 2022.

Business-wise, both Bolt and Backblaze, as well as most of TMT's other portfolio companies, have continued to perform reasonably well, with very few investees experiencing clear difficulties at this juncture.

Substantial recent cash exits from Wrike ($23m in 2018), Pipedrive (US$41m in 2020) and Depositphotos (initial cash exit consideration of US$12.9m in 2021), together with other cash exits and the proceeds of the Company's fund raise conducted in October 2021 (which raised US$19.3 million before expenses), have been reinvested into earlier and mid-stage companies as part of planning the next generation of the portfolio's potential winners. In the first half of 2022, TMT made US$7.3m of investments into 6 existing and new portfolio companies. As of 30 June 2022, early and mid-stage companies represented 45.1% of TMT's total portfolio value and 95% of the total number of portfolio companies.

TMT is continuing to source and identify investment opportunities very selectively and at appropriate valuation levels, whilst employing an extremely cautious general investment approach for the time being. With no financial debt and cash reserves of approximately US$13 million at 15 August 2022), TMT is well positioned to ride out the current market volatility and make selective investments when the right opportunities present themselves. The Company expects a number of positive revaluations across its portfolio by the end of 2022 and will update shareholders on relevant developments as appropriate."

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

The first half of 2022 saw substantially increased market and economic volatility. The effect of this volatility has had a mixed effect on privately held technology companies.

While the recent period of uncertainty has not been long enough to have a broad and sustained negative effect on the underlying businesses of technology companies, the recent larger-cap public market sell-off has led to reduced valuations of privately held start-ups, although with a significantly lower negative effect on the valuations of earlier-stage start-ups, the stage at which TMT Investments Plc ("TMT" or the "Company") is most closely focused. Indeed, the period saw continued investor interest in high-growth, high-quality digital technology companies, resulting in positive revaluations of several of TMT's portfolio companies which have demonstrated ongoing growth throughout the period and received further validation for their business models by raising fresh equity capital at higher valuations during the period.

As can be seen from the BVP Cloud Index ( https://cloudindex.bvp.com/ ), median valuation multiples for larger-cap publicly traded technology companies have fallen sharply, in effect returning to the more sustainable levels seen in 2013-2017. With regard to privately held start-ups, it is mainly the valuations of later-stage companies (i.e. Series B and later) that have been negatively affected ( https://stack.angellist.com/valuations ).

The significantly reduced share prices of publicly traded technology companies negatively affected the value of TMT's equity stake in NASDAQ-traded cloud storage company Backblaze ( www.backblaze.com ), resulting in a US$43.6 million reduction in the value of TMT's investment in Backblaze as at 30 June 2022.

Consistent with TMT's prudent valuation policy, the Company has also decided to reduce the fair value of its equity stake in Bolt ( www.bolt.eu ) by 28%, despite the fact that the previous valuation level was established on the back of Bolt's successful EUR628 million equity raise, which completed only recently in January 2022 - after the market correction had started. This decision reflects the significant reduction in the values of Bolt's publicly traded peers, namely Uber and Lyft, as of 30 June 2022.

Business-wise however, both Bolt and Backblaze, as well as most of TMT's other portfolio companies, have continued to perform reasonably well, with very few investees experiencing clear difficulties at this juncture.

The main negative effect of increased market and economic volatility on earlier-stage start-ups is not a reduction in valuation levels per se, but the generally lower availability of funding. We are seeing that founders are having to go the extra mile to prove the quality and potential of their businesses, as investors become more discerning. High-quality fast-growing earlier-stage start-ups, however, can still currently demand broadly similar valuation levels as they did prior to 2022.

In that sense, the current composition of TMT's portfolio has turned out to be quite auspicious. Following a number of successful exits from later-stage portfolio companies (such as Wrike, Pipedrive, and Depositphotos) in recent years, TMT redeployed the cash proceeds into mainly late-Seed / pre Series-A opportunities, whose valuations have proven to be much more defensive in the current environment. TMT's approach to investing in earlier-stage stage companies is to avoid overpaying and to remain highly diligent when investing in follow-on rounds, which provides extra buffer in the event of future down rounds. In addition, the fact that many of the investments TMT made at those stages were structured in the form of convertible notes currently provides further defence against potential down rounds.

NAV per share

The Company's NAV per share decreased by 25.8% in the first half of 2022 to US$6.68 as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: US$9.00), mainly as a result of the significant downward revaluation of Backblaze and Bolt during H1 2022.

Operating expenses

In the first half of 2022, the Company's administrative expenses of US$772,317 were slightly below corresponding 2021 levels (H1 2021: US$802,919), reflecting the Company's reduced level of investment and business development activities during the period.

Financial position

As of 30 June 2022, the Company had no financial debt and cash reserves of approximately US$14 million (31 December 2021: US$26 million). As of 15 August 2022, the Company had cash reserves of approximately US$13 million.

Outlook

TMT has a diversified investment portfolio of over 55 companies, focused primarily on big data/cloud, SaaS (software-as-a-service), marketplaces, e-commerce, FinTech, EdTech and FoodTech, most of which continue to benefit from the ongoing shift to online consumer habits and remote working.

The recent military conflict in Ukraine, followed by the broad sanctions against Russia, have undoubtedly added significantly to global market uncertainty. TMT invests globally and its portfolio is highly diversified in terms of revenue origin from its underlying companies. Given the international nature of online/digital businesses, a small number of the Company's earlier-stage portfolio companies have varying degrees of revenue exposure to Russia and Ukraine. At the time of TMT's 2021 Annual Report published in March 2022, the Company said it had identified a total of approximately US$4.6 million of potential write-downs across eight of its portfolio companies that were most likely to be negatively affected by the military conflict in Ukraine. The actual negative effect from the relevant events estimated in this report has turned out to be smaller than initially anticipated, with only four portfolio companies' valuations negatively affected (see the Portfolio Developments section below). This has resulted in a corresponding US$2.25 million negative effect on the Company's NAV.

A number of negative trends and factors continue to affect the prospects of the wider global economy, and the ultimate effect on the technology sector and its participants will depend on how global dynamics unfold in the coming months.

Despite the ongoing volatility, investors continue to be interested in high-quality technology businesses, and TMT is continuing to source and identify such opportunities very selectively and at appropriate valuation levels, whilst employing an extremely cautious general investment approach for the time being. With no financial debt and cash reserves of approximately US$13 million at 15 August 2022), TMT is well positioned to ride out the current market volatility and make selective investments when the right opportunities present themselves. The Company expects a number of positive revaluations across its portfolio by the end of 2022 and will update shareholders on relevant developments as appropriate.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

We were reasonably pleased with our portfolio companies' performance in the first half of 2022, especially against the backdrop of the recent market volatility and worsening economic outlook for the global economy. A number of portfolio companies received further validation for their business models by raising fresh equity capital at higher valuations. In tandem, most other portfolio companies have continued to either grow their businesses quietly in the background or diligently react to the evolving market situation, adapting and repositioning their businesses as required. In addition, the Company continues its policy of seeking to reduce the value of underperforming investees as soon as there is enough evidence to support such decisions.

While the selling pressure on publicly-traded technology companies in the first half of 2022 has directly negatively affected the valuation of NASDAQ-traded Backblaze (TMT's second largest portfolio holding), Backblaze's business has been developing well - with 28% revenue growth in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 and the recent announcement of many new partnerships and integrations. Backblaze remains well capitalised with a reported net cash position of approximately US$51 million at 30 June 2022, and at its share price as of 11 August 2022 was valued at approximately 2.2 times its announced expected 2022 revenue.

Despite the prudent reduction in the estimated value of Bolt based on comparable multiples, Bolt remains well-capitalised and continues to grow successfully across its multiple business lines and geographic markets.

As for the rest of the portfolio, many of the Company's investees entered the current period of volatility with freshly raised funds and continue to grow and optimize their businesses.

Portfolio performance:

The following developments have had an impact on, and are reflected in, the Company's NAV and/or financial statements as of 30 June 2022 in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Full and partial cash exits, and positive revaluations:

-- Accern, a no-code AI platform for the financial service industry ( www.accern.com ), completed a new equity funding round. The transaction represented a revaluation uplift of US$1.6 million (or 124%) in the fair value of TMT's investment, compared to the previous reported amount as of 31 December 2021.

-- MTL Financial, trading as Outfund, a revenue-based financing provider ( www.out.fund ), completed a new equity funding round. The transaction represented a revaluation uplift of US$1.5 million (or 112%) in the fair value of TMT's investment, compared to the previous reported amount as of 31 December 2021.

-- FemTech, a London-based technology accelerator focused on female founders ( www.femtechlab.com ), completed a new equity funding round. The transaction represented a revaluation uplift of US$0.9 million (or 318%) in the fair value of TMT's investment, compared to the previous reported amount as of 31 December 2021.

-- Spin Technology, an all-in-one SaaS data protection platform for mission-critical SaaS apps ( www.spin.ai ), completed a new equity funding round. The transaction represented a revaluation uplift of US$0.7 million (or 221%) in the fair value of TMT's investment, compared to the previous reported amount as of 31 December 2021.

-- Feel, a subscription-based multivitamin and supplement producer ( www.wearefeel.com ), completed a new equity funding round. The transaction represented a revaluation uplift of US$0.1 million (or 3%) in the fair value of TMT's investment, compared to the previous reported amount as of 31 December 2021 (adjusted for the value of TMT's additional investment made in Feel in 2022).

ESG POLICY

Introduction

As with most business sectors, technology has the capacity to make the world a better place. Given the high pace of technology innovation we are witnessing, TMT believes this capacity is intensified in the case of technology. However, technological innovation for its own sake is meaningless unless it results in tangible benefits in terms of productivity, improved user experience, higher efficiency, positive impact in its chosen sectors, improved profitability or other desired objectives.

ESG evaluation can be carried out in a number of different ways. Among other factors, its effectiveness will depend on the questions being addressed, the principles being applied and the quality of data available. Indeed, at times the prioritising of some principles can have a negative impact on others, given the asymmetric nature of benefits that can sometimes arise. An example is when alleviation of poverty in the short term comes at a higher environmental cost.

The social and economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has served to put the ESG agenda into sharper relief and has accelerated the intensity of focus. TMT started to formalise its approach to ESG in its initial ESG Policy announced in the 2021 Annual Report, which is being confirmed in this 2022 Interim Report and will be subsequently updated as required.

As an investment company, TMT has been monitoring ESG issues and taking them into account before they began to enter the mainstream investment agenda. As such, the Company has made a number of investments in ESG-focused companies that also meet TMT's investment criteria. These include Timbeter, a SaaS solution for quick and accurate timber measurement and data management, which is making the forestry industry more sustainable, profitable and efficient (www.timbeter.com); eAgronom, which provides a unique combination of services to grain farmers: carbon programmes, an AI-powered consulting service and farm management software enabling farmers to build sustainable businesses and preserve nature (www.eagronom.com); Mobilo, an eco-friendly solution allowing users to digitally share contact details instead of using paper/plastic business cards and turn meetings into leads (www.mobilocard.com); and FemTechLab, Europe's first tech accelerator focused on female founders ( www.femtechlab.com );

TMT holds minority positions in its portfolio companies and therefore can exert influence on ESG matters in two main ways: first, by screening investments for exclusion from investment and second, by engaging in constructive dialogue with portfolio companies and monitoring progress. The Company's ESG policy reflects this approach.

TMT itself, as an investment company with limited internal resources, has little impact on the environment. The Company's team is mindful of reducing its travel, paper consumption, energy costs and other environmental impact wherever possible. TMT has adopted the Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA) Corporate Governance Code for Small & Mid-Sized Companies, which already covers a number of well-established ESG items.

TMT's ESG policy is outlined below.

TMT's 3 guiding ESG principles for portfolio companies: relevant, realistic and accountable

TMT's three ESG principles guide and inform potential portfolio companies of the Company's approach to ESG and are at the core of what good ESG looks like. They are specific and challenging, whilst allowing portfolio companies to engage with them both at an earlier stage of development and as they grow in size.

Relevant

-- Is the investee addressing ESG where it can make the greatest impact in terms of its business model?

-- Has the investee undertaken an ESG materiality assessment and, if so, how has this informed its ESG framework?

   --    Have ESG risks, as well as opportunities, been identified? 

Realistic

   --    Is the investee developing an ESG roadmap as part of its business plan? 
   --    Are the investee's ESG objectives achievable in view of its current resources? 
   --    What resources does the investee need to consider in order to progress on its ESG roadmap? 

Accountable

   --    How is the investee evaluating its ESG activities and engagement? 
   --    Is the investee conducting ESG benchmarking against its peers? 

-- Does the investee review its ESG metrics and reporting process in view of latest ESG, scientific and technological developments?

TMT's approach

TMT's ESG policy is based on a 3-step approach:

Step 1: Filter out by Exclusion list

TMT's exclusion list sets out the sectors, businesses and activities in which the Company will not invest due to having as their objective, or direct impact on, any of the following:

   1.     Slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour, or unlawful / harmful child labour. 
   2.     Production or sale of illegal or banned products, or involvement in illegal activities. 
   3.     Activities that compromise endangered or protected wildlife. 
   4.     Production or sale of hazardous chemicals, pesticides and waste. 
   5.     Manufacture, distribution or sale of arms or ammunitions. 
   6.     Manufacture of, or trade in, tobacco or drugs. 
   7.     Manufacture or sale of pornography. 
   8.     Trade in human body parts or organs. 
   9.     Animal testing other than for the satisfaction of medical regulatory requirements. 

10. Production or other trade related to unbonded asbestos fibres.

Step 2: Assess level of ESG Engagement

Step 2 focuses on assessing how the proposed portfolio company incorporates ESG in its business model and company culture.

In its investment selection process, TMT examines how each potential investee company is addressing and incorporating ESG issues based on TMT's principles of being relevant, realistic and accountable, feeding the results into an evaluation sheet for presentation to TMT's Initial Investment Committee and the Formal Investment Committee. If necessary, remedial actions or areas for improvement are agreed with the investee company. For follow-on investments, TMT requires a formal update from the investee highlighting any divergence from TMT's initial assessment.

Step 3: Engagement with portfolio companies on ESG

ESG by its very nature is a journey, which needs to adapt to changing environmental, social and governance dynamics, in view of latest developments. Two-way dialogue and engagement with portfolio companies is an essential part of this journey, in which both parties are sharing and learning. TMT therefore includes ESG topics as part of its continuous engagement with portfolio companies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2022

   1.         Company information 

TMT Investments Plc ("TMT" or the "Company") is a company incorporated in Jersey with its registered office at 13 Castle Street, St Helier, JE1 1ES, Channel Islands.

The Company was incorporated and registered on 30 September 2010 in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended) with registration number 106628 under the name TMT Investments Limited. The Company obtained consent from the Jersey Financial Services Commission pursuant to the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1985 on 30 September 2010. On 1 December 2010 the Company re-registered as a public company and changed its name to TMT Investments Plc. The Company's ordinary shares were admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange on 10 December 2010.

The memorandum and articles of association of the Company do not restrict its activities and therefore it has unlimited legal capacity. The Company's ability to implement its Investing Policy and achieve its desired returns will be limited by its ability to identify and acquire suitable investments. Suitable investment opportunities may not always be readily available.

The Company will seek to make investments in any region of the world.

Financial statements of the Company are prepared by and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and their interpretations issued or adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the European Union ("IFRSs"). The Company's accounting reference date is 31 December.

   2.         Summary of significant accounting policies 
   2.1     Basis of presentation 

Interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 and 2021 are unaudited and were approved by the Directors on 15 August 2022. They do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. The report of the auditor on those financial statements was unqualified and did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis of matter.

The principal accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of these unaudited financial statements are set out below and have been applied consistently.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis as modified by the fair value of financial assets at ("FVTPL"), as explained in the accounting policies below, and in accordance with IFRS. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

   2.2     Foreign currency translation 

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured in United States Dollars ('US dollars', 'USD' or 'US$'), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into US$ using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences arising from the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Under the Company's Bonus Plan, subject to achieving a minimum hurdle NAV and high watermark conditions, the team receives an annual cash bonus equal to 10% of the net increases in the Company's NAV, adjusted for any changes in the Company's equity capital resulting from issuance of new shares, dividends, share buy-backs and similar corporate transactions. The Company`s bonus year runs from 1 January to 31 December. If, pursuant to the Company's Bonus Plan, the bonus attributable to the NAV increase from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 had been accrued during the period, it would have resulted in a bonus charge of US$nil (2021: US$4,108,784).

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in profit or loss.

When measuring the fair value of a financial instrument, the Company uses relevant transactions during the year or shortly after the year end, which gives an indication of fair value and considers other valuation methods to provide evidence of value. The "price of recent investment" methodology is used mainly for venture capital investments, and the fair value is derived by reference to the most recent equity financing round or sizeable partial disposal. Fair value change is only recognised if that round involved a new external investor. From time to time, the Company may assess the fair value in the absence of a relevant independent equity transaction by relying on other market observable data and valuation techniques, such as the analysis of revenue multiples of comparable companies and/or comparable transactions. The nature of such valuation techniques is highly judgmental and dependent on the market sentiment at the time of the analysis.
