[DECK, slide 1] - Customer: B2B ## About the company ANYbotics builds ANYmal, an autonomous legged robot for industrial inspection in oil and gas, chemicals, power, mining, and manufacturing. The robots carry out rounds in environments where manual inspection can be dangerous, repetitive, or difficult to perform consistently. The commercial value is not simply a hardware sale. A deployment can replace inspection labour while producing recurring operational data, so customers may buy robots outright or adopt a Robots-as-a-Service arrangement tied to site operations. Reliable navigation, sensor performance, and integration into maintenance workflows determine whether the fleet expands. Model robots deployed, sites served, contract type, hardware ASP or RaaS pricing, service revenue, and utilisation. Deduct manufacturing, sensors, field deployment, maintenance, software operations, and support costs. Sales-cycle length, fleet expansion per customer, uptime, gross margin, recurring-service attach, and retention should drive scenarios. ## What's included - 5-year monthly revenue build with stage-appropriate growth assumptions - Full P&L, headcount plan, and operating-expense schedule - Cash-flow statement, runway, and burn-rate tracking - Valuation via exit multiple with a DCF cross-check - Returns analysis with MOIC and IRR - Unit economics including CAC, LTV, payback, and cohort retention ## Product & value proposition - **ANYmal**: Industrial-grade autonomous legged robot, IP67 rated, 5 patents pending.

ANYbotics sells physical robots (one-time CAPEX revenue or RaaS subscription) plus a recurring software layer. The model should track robot unit shipments as the primary volume driver, with attached software/SaaS ARR and RaaS conversion rates. Similar to a B2B hardware-led company with recurring attach (think Palantir pre-subscription or Axon hardware + Evidence.com SaaS). - **Forecast horizon & granularity**: 5 years (2022–2027), quarterly for Years 1–2, annual for Years 3–5. This covers the Series B deployment period and path to profitability. - **Key drivers & assumptions**: - Robot units shipped per year - starting base - Robot ASP (CAPEX sale) - RaaS conversion rate - Annual SaaS/software ACV per robot - Software revenue = cumulative install base × ACV × attach rate - Gross margin on hardware - Gross margin on software/SaaS - Blended gross margin - Revenue CAGR 2022–2025 >100% YoY for 2023–2024 coming off small base] - Headcount growth - CAPEX (tooling, production capacity) front-loaded investment in 2023–2024] - Sales channel mix: direct vs. indirect - Target verticals: O&G, Chemicals, Power, Offshore, Mining, Processing - **Scenarios (Base / Bull / Bear)**: - **Base**: Robot units ramp per LOI-backed pipeline; ~50% of >$150m LOI converts to revenue over 2023–2025; software attach grows steadily. - **Bull**: Full LOI conversion + accelerated RaaS adoption + partner channel outperforms; earlier profitability. - **Bear**: LOI slippage, longer sales cycles, hardware margin compression from component costs; cash burn extends runway need. - Flex variables: units shipped, ASP, software attach rate, RaaS vs. CAPEX mix, gross margin. - **Required sheets / outputs**: 1. Assumptions dashboard (all drivers with/ tags) 2. Revenue build: hardware (units × ASP by CAPEX vs. RaaS) + software (ARR bridge) 3. P&L: Revenue → Gross Profit → EBITDA → EBIT (by quarter Y1–2, annual Y3–5) 4. CAPEX schedule (robot production tooling, R&D capex) 5. Headcount plan (R&D, Sales, G&A) 6. Cash flow & runway (critical for Series B use-of-funds story) 7. ARR waterfall (new ARR, expansion, churn - for SaaS/RaaS component) 8. Scenario toggle (Base / Bull / Bear) 9. Summary KPI dashboard: units in field, ARR, revenue, gross margin %, burn, runway ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the ANYbotics financial model free? Yes.
