• Bi-partisan support of U.S. Congress for military to monitor overpressure
• Currently in full field testing with U.S. Army and in competition for SOCOM
• Systems to be replaced annually
• 2022 and onwards
PAPRs
• N95 masks not ideal in high shedding environments

• Successful on-time, on-budget delivery of sole sourced awards to FEMA and HSS illustrates leading competitive position and scalability to international bodies
• Filters and hoods present ongoing recurring revenue potential following supply of initial systems
• Online portal launched to deliver direct to healthcare, manufacturing, personal care, and waste cleanup fields
• Ongoing, though
potential for major
contracts not anticipated in H1 2021

REVIEW
• Turnaround strategy for AEP began successfully in 2020, though hindered by COVID-19 impact on automotive (-20.5% decline in N.A. production in 2020F1) and related rubber production volumes:
• Moved into supply of anti-vibration components for non-auto; almost 10% of 2020E sales, with target to have balance between auto and non-auto in five years
• Customer retention has been high with no shrink in base; ~80-90% rollover annually
• Undertaking cost containment through:
❑ New robotic work cell installed during year; second robotic work cell scheduled for H2 ‘21
❑ Shifting lower margin production volumes to Malaysia
• Became supplier to AirBoss Defense Group
OUTLOOK
• North American car/light truck production estimated to grow at ~4.8% annually between 2020 and 2025, with large rebound in 20211
• Rebound in volumes following COVID-driven decline in 2020 dependent on continued impact of COVID on U.S. economy
• AEP target of getting close to EBIT breakeven in near term if economy normalizes
