Ilika gears up for eventful 2024 after reaching key first-half milestones
Published: 12:05 23 Jan 2024

The company's Stereax business converted a memorandum of understanding into a 10-year tech transfer and license agreement with US-based Cirtec, gearing up to manufacture Stereax batteries at Cirtec's facility in Lowell, Massachusetts. This collaboration includes co-marketing efforts, evidenced by their recent joint presence at the North American Neurostimulation Show in California.

Stereax batteries are revolutionizing healthcare with applications in neurostimulation and neuromodulation for conditions like Parkinson's and diabetes, and in smart orthopaedics and orthodontics for post-surgery monitoring and saliva chemical analysis.

Two Major Milestones Reached for Goliath Solid State Cells for Electric Vehicles
Posted on: 11th December 2023 in News

In the past few weeks, Ilika are proud to have achieved two major technology achievements for their Goliath solid state technology for electric vehicles – D4 development point and lithium-ion parity. These achievements validate the technical approach taken by the company and support the justification for investment in a full-pilot facility configured to demonstrate that the technology can be licensed for third-party giga-scale implementation. Goliath cells have the potential to offer EV producers the benefits of solid state batteries' improved safety, faster charging, longer lifespan, and greater temperature resilience, without the need to sacrifice size, space, or effective range.


The first announcement was the achievement of the D4 development point – a design-freeze milestone in the Goliath roadmap upon which Ilika’s first prototype for customer release, P1, is based. The P1 Goliath prototype is a solid state pouch cell with an NMC cathode and a silicon anode and is an intermediate milestone on Ilika’s roadmap to its minimum viable product (MVP) in 2025, effectively marking the start of Goliath’s productization journey.

The D4 development point means that a number of key data sets – including energy density and power density – have been met so P1 samples, comprising at least 4 layer stacks, can be created then offered to OEMs for testing. Over the next six months, Ilika will manufacture and test batches of pouch cells based on the D4 development point prior to delivering fully characterized P1 cells to up to 15 customers in 2024.

Reaching this D4 development point then enabled the company to achieve lithium-ion energy density parity, which was announced a couple of weeks later. This is a significant milestone as it means that the Goliath solid state pouch cell is now able to match the representative energy density of incumbent lithium-ion pouch cells, achieving an effective energy density of 250 Wh/kg and a capacity of 0.715 Ah. It is also an intermediate point on the journey to Ilika’s P2 prototype product, which will be licensable to partners in H1 2025.

Ilika offers "material value" even after share price rise, reckons broker
12th May 2023

Ilika still has plenty to offer investors even though the share price is up 100% year-to-date, according to analysts at Liberum.

First deliveries of its Stereax miniature solid-state batteries to Blink Energy, CubeWorks and Lura Health suggest commercialisation of its medical SSBs is gaining momentum.

“Ongoing discussions with Cirtec remain encouraging and we would not be surprised to see a positive near-term outcome.

At Goliath, the company is targeting Li-ion energy density parity by the end of 2023 ahead of implementing a scale-up to mega-factory scale in order to support a commercial roll-out of a small portfolio of electric hyper and supercar models.”

A share price of 46.5p offers "material value" to investors reckons the broker, which has a "buy" rating and 60p target (up from 59p) on the shares.

Great week for Ilika plc (LON:IKA) institutional investors after losing 54% over the previous year
Sat, April 15, 2023 at 2:01 PM GMT+7·4 min read

Key Insights
Significantly high institutional ownership implies Ilika's stock price is sensitive to their trading actions.

A total of 9 investors have a majority stake in the company with 52% ownership

Using data from analyst forecasts alongside ownership research, one can better assess the future performance of a company

A look at the shareholders of Ilika plc (LON:IKA) can tell us which group is most powerful. We can see that institutions own the lion's share in the company with 68% ownership. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk).

Institutional investors would appreciate the 23% increase in share prices last week, given their one-year returns have been disappointing at 54%.

ownership-breakdown
What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Ilika?
Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.

We can see that Ilika does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Ilika's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.

earnings-and-revenue-growth
Since institutional investors own more than half the issued stock, the board will likely have to pay attention to their preferences. Hedge funds don't have many shares in Ilika. The company's largest shareholder is GPIM Limited, with ownership of 11%. With 6.9% and 6.1% of the shares outstanding respectively, Schroder Investment Management Limited and TD Ameritrade Investment Management, LLC are the second and third largest shareholders.

We did some more digging and found that 9 of the top shareholders account for roughly 52% of the register, implying that along with larger shareholders, there are a few smaller shareholders, thereby balancing out each others interests somewhat.

Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily.

Insider Ownership Of Ilika
While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves.

Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.

Our data suggests that insiders own under 1% of Ilika plc in their own names. But they may have an indirect interest through a corporate structure that we haven't picked up on. It appears that the board holds about UK£487k worth of stock. This compares to a market capitalization of UK£85m. We generally like to see a board more invested. However it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.

General Public Ownership
The general public-- including retail investors -- own 20% stake in the company, and hence can't easily be ignored. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run.

Private Company Ownership
It seems that Private Companies own 11%, of the Ilika stock. Private companies may be related parties. Sometimes insiders have an interest in a public company through a holding in a private company, rather than in their own capacity as an individual. While it's hard to draw any broad stroke conclusions, it is worth noting as an area for further research.

Ilika hails first Stereax battery shipment
11th April 2023

Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF), a pioneer in solid-state battery technology, said it has shipped the first batch of its Stereax cells to customer Blink Energy.

The shipment marks the beginning of a series of planned deliveries from the UK factory over the coming months.

The initial shipment includes single-layer Stereax M50 cells, which Blink Energy will use in its device-agnostic power and communications platforms for ocular devices.

Blink Energy's solution, Blink IT, is a smart patch device designed to improve patient compliance, reliability, connectivity, and pricing in the smart contact lens market.

Ilika also said it is finalizing the terms of a partnership with Cirtec Medical, a strategic outsourcing partner for complex medical devices.

The companies have signed a memorandum of understanding outlining the transfer of Stereax mm-scale battery manufacturing to Cirtec's facility in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Following the transfer, Ilika will focus on advanced technology development and IP licensing to support Cirtec's manufacturing and commercialisation activities.

In a statement, Ilika's chief executive, Graeme Purdy, said: "Starting with Blink Energy, we look forward to further supporting our customers' product roadmaps for miniature medical devices and industrial IoT applications. Our relationship with Cirtec will further support commercial ramp-up in due course".

Scale-Up Trials on Equipment for Production: An Update on the STEP Project
Posted on: 6th December 2022 in Blog

In September 2022, Ilika was awarded a £175,000 grant from the Advanced Propulsion Centre’s (APC) Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF), supporting a 9-month long series of manufacturing equipment trials. Now one third of the way through we have just given a successful progress update to the APC. The purpose of the project, named Scale-Up Trials on Equipment for Production (STEP), is to de risk scale-up activities within our roadmap. Scaling-up can be a risky business and moving from research to manufacturing of our Goliath solid state batteries for electric vehicles requires careful planning.

The project enables us to trial critical processes at larger scale before we commit to purchasing expensive equipment. These machine trials typically take place at supplier sites in advance of any purchasing decisions. The program also enables us to look at UK suppliers for materials, ensuring that they would be affordable at scale and validating them within our batteries. Again, helping us move beyond our existing international R&D scale supply chain. Throughout the project we will aim to source from British suppliers as the core philosophy of our upscaling is to have a UK supply chain, in support of the automotive industry “Rules of Origin” concept.

We organised trials along these three areas of development:

Slot DieConveyorized FurnaceMaterials
All of them will move us from R&D scale to industrial manufacturing scale equipment and materials.

Slot Die Formulation

For R&D purposes we’ve been laying down our inks using a semi-manual screen-printing process, whilst useful for R&D this isn’t a scalable process due to the time and number of passes taken to build up the required deposition thickness. Improving the rate , critical to cost, means a move to a roll to roll process. This can be provided by a slot die coater with a continuous flow of printing. Slot die is also a compatible process with our future up-scale partners and has been demonstrated already industrially even at Giga-scale. Our trials on such a machine, at a major British manufacturer of printing equipment, gave such encouraging results that we are now ready to bring this part of the process in-house and have purchased a slot die proofer as an initial step.


In trialling roll to roll printing we found that we needed to make adjustments to our ink formulations. Adjusting these formulations enables us to use solvents with a lower boiling point, good news as they take less energy to evaporate and then re-condense allowing us to dry things more efficiently. The electricity cost on electrode drying being up to 40% of total site energy bill! We’ll be using our new slot die proofer to trial different iterations of our inks and having already completed the trials with the British manufacturer we’re confident we can make this work. Once that’s done – later in the project – we’ll purchase a larger slot die coater and so will soon own a piece of equipment which is standard in the deposition of films roll to roll in the lithium battery industry.

Belt Furnace

For our sintering trials we selected a UK furnace manufacturer and used their applications lab to sinter over 900 samples. Sintering uses heat to compact and form the solid state batteries. We again obtained positive results from these trials and as a result have ordered a large scale belt furnace. This now allows us to conduct a continuous sintering process which in turn increases both throughout and process yield when compared to our existing R&D oven. As with printing the move to a larger scale and continuous sintering process won’t be a straight translation, new sintering heat profiles will have to be developed and this too will be done as part of the STEP project.

Materials

A solid electrolyte is the unique part of our solid state batteries, differentiating our technology from traditional lithium ion batteries. The final part of the STEP project looks at a UK supply chain for electrolyte material and includes studies on cost at scale and industrial scale-up plans. Whilst the supply chain for anode and cathode materials is well-developed, the supply chain for solid electrolyte is still maturing and undergoing “rate of learning” expansion. Ilika will be trialling oxide electrolytes from a variety of suppliers. Amongst them is another UK company that can provide good quality oxide electrolyte which has already been validated in our batteries. They have developed a synthesis route which is fully scalable and thus will enable price parity between solid state and lithium ion batteries at large scale production.

Next Steps

We are now a third of the way through the project and have already learnt a lot. Over the next two months we will be doing further trials on UK equipment and materials. A key benefit, and reason we have been so well supported from UK Grant agencies, is our dissemination of solid state industrialisation know-how. We see Ilika as a critical knowledge hub within the UK battery industry, totally focussed around solid state technology and over time helping to create a supply chain that could then go on to support a global solid state battery industry.

With the battery packing being up to 40% of the BOM cost of a car, and rules of origin dictating import duties when selling UK built cars overseas , creating next generation battery technology, industrialising it and then manufacturing in the UK is vital to the future health of our automotive sector.

Klar...

Natürlich ist auch die Verzögerung bei Goliath nicht gut, Stereax ist erst aber wichtiger, weil grundsätzlich marktreif. Soweit ich Ilika vor 1 Jahr noch verstanden habe, wollte man bereits ab dem 1. Quartal 2023 mit Stereax Gewinne erzielen, was nun aber ausbleibt. Diese Gewinne hätte man dann gut wieder in die Entwicklung von Goliath stecken können, was nun ebenfalls ausbleibt. Vor allem befürchte ich aber, dass bald eine KE kommen wird, weil Ilika das Cash ausgeht. Im letzten Gj. haben sie über 9 Mio. Pfund ausgegeben, ohne aber Gewinne zu erzielen. Es sind jetzt nur noch 18,6 Mio. Pfund vorhanden, d. h. Geld für nur noch maximal 2 Jahre. Das folgende Zitat aus dem gestern veröffentlichen Statement zeigt das:

"Cash and cash equivalents at the period end were £18.6m (Cash and cash equivalents H1 2022: £27.7m). EBITDA loss is expected to be approximately £9.0m for the full year to 30 April 2023 and the cash and cash equivalents as at this date of approximately £14.0m. As described above, as a result of the revised expectations for the speed of Stereax ramp-up, revenue in FY24 and FY25 will be materially lower than in previous forecasts."

Ok, Stereax verzögert sich. Der problematische Satz "Revenue ramp-up will be commensurate with the product commercialisation timelines seen in that sector. This ramp-up is now expected to take five years to reach capacity of the UK manufacturing facility." schreckt wohl viele ab. Zudem steigen die Kosten weiter an - ohne Einnahmen. Mal sehen, wie das weiter geht.

Ilika starts six-month solid-state battery plant study
Mon, 20th Jun 2022 13:31

(Sharecast News) - Solid-state battery technology developer Ilika has started a six-month economic feasibility study in partnership with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), it announced on Monday.

The AIM-traded firm said the study aimed to determine the requirements for a dedicated 100 MWh solid-state battery manufacturing line within the UKBIC's facilities.

It said the Ilika-led collaborative project was being supported by the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), through its Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF), which aimed to "clarify the way forward" for industrialisation of solid-state batteries in the UK.

Ilika said it would receive a £0.11m grant towards its costs over the six-month project, which started on 1 May.

The project followed the recent successful APC-funded 'SOLSTICE' project between Ilika and Stellantis subsidiary Comau, which concluded that there were "no barriers" to scaling-up Ilika's Goliath solid-state battery technology for electric vehicles, and delivered a plant design for a "megascale" manufacturing facility.

It said the project with the UK battery manufacturing development facility would now look at the cost implications of placing a megascale solid-state battery line at UKBIC, to enable Ilika's Goliath electric vehicle batteries to be manufactured at scale.

If feasible, and in the best interests of UKBIC and Ilika, the firm said the line would support its OEM customers' validation and testing programmes, and would follow its current plan to scale its pre-pilot line production capacity from 50 kWh per year to 2 MWh per year.

ILIKA FLAGS DEVELOPMENT DELAYS AS FULL-YEAR LOSSES WIDEN
(Sharecast News) - Solid state battery technology company Ilika said in an update on Wednesday that trading for the financial year just ended was in line with management expectations.

The AIM-traded firm said it expected to announce revenues of about £0.5m for the 12 months ended 30 April, down from £2.3m, and an EBITDA loss of £7m, widening from £2.3m.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year totalled £23.4m, up from £9.7m.

On the operational front, Ilika said further to the official opening of its manufacturing facility for Stereax miniature solid-state batteries for industrial wireless sensors and medical implants in December, it had been progressing facility process qualification to the point where it was now "substantially" complete.

As it said in January, product qualification had started, which involved producing initial batches of batteries and testing them against specification.

"Whilst a series of process optimisation cycles have been carried out to date, it is taking longer than previously anticipated to ensure that product batches reproducibly meet specification," the board said in its statement.

"In terms of an update on Ilika's pipeline, the demand from potential customers is now weighted predominantly towards miniature medical device applications.

"The demand for such applications starts with device prototyping, followed by pre-clinical and clinical trials before regulatory approval and mass market roll-out, which has a longer regulatory approval cycle than industrial sensors. Ilika will match production volumes to customer demand."

Ilika said the shift in the weighting of customer demand towards medical device applications, combined with the expectation of optimisation cycles continuing into the second half of the new financial year, meant it now expected commercial sales to start at the end of that period, later than originally anticipated.

A number of the potential applications for Stereax exceeded the capacity of Ilika's facility, which the board said provided longer-term opportunities for partnering and licensing.

Product development of the company's large-format battery for electric vehicles and customer appliances, Goliath, had meanwhile continued to progress to schedule, with significant improvements achieved in energy and power density.

"Ilika continues to explore opportunities for closer collaboration with strategic partners interested in aligning their product roadmaps with Goliath," the board said.

Ilika said it would announce its results for the year ended 30 April on 13 July.

At 1238 BST, shares in Ilika were down 25.26% at 71p.

Die ganze neue Goliath Linie (mega scale facility) ist ja nicht ganz umsonst (Staatsgelder covern nicht Alles), einiges an Kosten wurde auch schon mit eingeplant. Ich denke mir jedoch das die Baukosten nach oben schiessen.
Baumaterial ist ja teurer geworden. Inflation und die Zinserhoehungen haben auch einen weiteren Einfluss, dieser Einfluss wird auch noch groesser im Laufe dieses Jahres und auch hinein in 2023.

Man sollte sich Gedanken machen um zu verbilligen und sich ein Limit setzen fuer den Nachkauf.
