UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM RESULTS

for the six months ended 31 March 2016

Actual Experience plc (AIM: ACT), the analytics-as-a-service company, is pleased to announce its unaudited consolidated interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2016.

Financial Highlights

   --      Revenue increased by 48% to GBP486,635 (31 March 2015: GBP329,238) 
   --      Operating loss of GBP2,608,449 (31 March 2015: loss of GBP1,012,236) 
   --      Loss per share of 6.62p (31 March 2015: loss per share of 3.12p) 
   --      Cash balance of GBP12,250,755 (30 September 2015: GBP15,275,222) 

Operational Highlights

   --      Signing of third multi-year framework agreement, a five year agreement with Vodafone 

-- Ongoing progress towards commercialisation within two existing channel partners: Verizon Enterprise Solutions and a leading global brand

   --      Significant white-labelling order from a leading US based technology company 

-- Continued investment into operational infrastructure, technology development, people, brand and marketing

Dave Page, CEO of Actual Experience, commented: "The contracts signed in the first half of the year have seen Actual Experience considerably widen its channel partner network. Alongside our direct customer base, we are now engaged with four major technology businesses, three of whom have signed multi-year framework agreements for the distribution of our analytics service. While the financial results continue to show growth, they do not yet reflect the significant potential of these agreements.

The funds raised in June 2015 have enabled us to invest in our operations to ensure we have the infrastructure to support these partners and we are excited about their potential. We continue to target additional channel partners and there are opportunities in development with some of the world's largest technology and service companies.

We look to the second half of the year and beyond with confidence."

The insights can be used to make continuous improvements to their business performance.

BUSINESS REVIEW

The first half of the year has seen Actual Experience continue the operational and commercial progress achieved in 2015. With the signing in March of a five year contract with Vodafone, being the Company's third multi-year framework agreement, and a white-labelling contract with a leading US technology business, we are now in the implementation process with three global businesses and about to enter implementation with the fourth. These businesses are integrating the Company's analytics service into their offerings, either as a stand-alone service or as part of their own product. Our analytics services' ability to analyse an organisation's digital supply chain will ensure that the quality of digital products and services delivered to customers and staff is always transparent.

Each of these agreements represents a significant revenue opportunity and serves as a validation of the Company's unique methodology of digital quality analysis. While the financial results continue to show growth, with revenues increasing 48% to GBP486,635 (31 March 2015: GBP329,238), they do not yet reflect the significant potential of these agreements.

Headcount increased from 34 at 30 September 2015 to 48 at 31 March 2016, contributing to the significant increase in administrative expenses. This increase will ensure that the Company is positioned to address the requirements of these large organisations.

Channel Partners

Actual Experience's analytics service has far-reaching applicability, with the potential to benefit any organisations with a digital business or footprint. We intend to service the global business markets primarily through channel partners, but will maintain select direct customer engagements.

Actual Experience has signed multi-year framework agreements with three global technology businesses and a significant white-labelling contract with a leading US technology business.

Our Channel Partners incorporate the Company's capabilities in one or more of the following methods:

-- Analytics services sold through the channel to the channel's corporate customers as standalone product;

-- Analytics services incorporated in a technology product or portfolio and sold to the channel's customer as part of the product; or

-- Analytics services incorporated in large, complex customer agreements, all with the ultimate goal to better serve the Channel Partner's customers or to improve their customers' digital experience.

Typically, for all categories, the signing of the master services agreement is the start of a complex, multi-phase implementation process, prior to significant revenue generation. This can involve productisation, the development of marketing materials, sales team training and ultimately the building of a sales pipeline.

New agreements signed in the period

In January 2016, Actual Experience received a significant order to white label the Company's service for a leading US based technology company.

In March 2016, the Company signed a five-year framework agreement with Vodafone. Actual Experience's digital experience quality analysis will be integrated into Vodafone's long-term quality improvement processes and key performance indicators, across Vodafone's enterprise and consumer markets, products and services.

The two agreements signed prior to the period under review were a three year agreement with Verizon Enterprise Solutions (September 2015) and a three year agreement with a Top 100 global brand (May 2015).

Implementation update

Each of the four agreements mentioned above are at various stages within the implementation process, with Verizon Enterprise Solutions being the most advanced. We have been encouraged by the scale of their growing sales pipeline.

Direct and Consumer activities

While our primary focus is the Channel Partner sales model, direct engagement with customers in deploying 'Actual Work' helps us to learn about practical application of our analytics, providing us with insight to ensure continuous improvement and a testing ground for products and services. Our consumer version of our analytics service 'Actual Home', provided free of charge, helps people measure, understand and improve their digital experience quality in their homes.

Operational Development

As planned, we have continued to invest the net proceeds of GBP14.6 million raised in June 2015 in resources that can effectively support our Channel Partners and customers anywhere in the world. Headcount has increased in both the US and the UK and a significant investment is being made in marketing and brand to ensure that the Company's offering is properly understood.

Our increase in marketing activities has focused on building demand for digital experience quality analytics-as-a-service for both the channel and direct. We are running a multi-phased 'Actual Quality' campaign to raise awareness of the issue of digital experience quality, including a report based on responses from over 400 respondents from companies in Europe and the US, across 21 industries.

Other areas of investment focus are the expansion of cloud analytic capacity across multiple data centres in the UK and US, as well as work on scaling analytic capacity within data centres. Work on risk mitigation, including data centre and operational security, has had increased focus during the period. We continue to work towards releasing a field trial version of Digital User on mobile (initially Android) this year.

On 1 February 2016, we were delighted to welcome Paul Spence to the Board as a Non-Executive Director. As well as bringing a wealth of sector specific knowledge, his extensive international experience will be very important as the Company seeks to develop its geographical operations and customer base.

Following the end of the period, the Company has moved into a new head office in Bath, providing space for additional growth and enhanced 24/7 customer support capabilities.

Current Trading and Outlook

The contracts signed in the first half of the year have seen Actual Experience considerably widen its channel partner network. Alongside our direct customer base, we are now engaged with four major technology businesses, three of whom have signed multi-year framework agreements for the distribution of our analytics service. While the financial results continue to show growth, they do not yet reflect the significant potential of these agreements.

The funds raised in June 2015 have enabled us to invest in our operations to ensure we have the infrastructure to support these partners and we are excited about their potential. We continue to target additional channel partners and there are opportunities in development with some of the world's largest technology and service companies.

We look to the second half of the year and beyond with confidence.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Consolidated income statement

The Group increased its revenue in the period by 47.8% to GBP486,635 (2015: GBP329,238), primarily as a result of increasing levels of sales to global channel partners. While direct sales activity will continue to be an important element of our strategy, we expect that channel revenues will increasingly be the major contributor to the Group's revenue growth.

The gross profit margin decreased to 21% in the first half of 2016 from 39% in the corresponding period in 2015. This reflects the investment made in our customer support team during the period as well as the increase in the number of deployed analytic clouds.

Operating costs increased to GBP2,710,089, compared to GBP1,139,559 in the corresponding period in 2015. The primary drivers for this are the higher headcount levels in 2016 as well as increased marketing spend. As noted above, headcount increased from 34 at 30 September 2015 to 48 at 31 March 2016, to enable the Company to manage the anticipated increase in activity with these large channel partners.

As a result, the Group recorded an operating loss in the period of GBP2,608,449 (31 March 2015: loss of GBP1,012,236) and a loss per share of 6.62p (31 March 2015: loss per share of 3.12p).

Notes to the consolidated interim report

For the six months ended 31 March 2016

   1          General information 

Actual Experience plc (the "Company") is a public limited company domiciled in the UK and incorporated in England and Wales (registered number 06838738) and its registered office is Quay House, The Ambury, Bath, BA1 1UA.

The principal activity of Actual Experience plc ("the Company") and its subsidiary company Actual Experience Inc (together "Actual Experience" or "the Group") is the provision of digital experience quality analytics services and associated consultancy services.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for issue on 25 May 2016.

   2          Basis of preparation 

This unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with AIM Rules for Companies. The interim condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis and are presented in Sterling to the nearest GBP.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those set out in the 2015 Annual Report and Accounts. Further IFRS standards or interpretations may be issued that could apply to the Group's financial statements for the year ending 30 September 2016. If any such amendments, new standards or interpretations are issued then these may require the financial information provided in this report to be changed. The Group will continue to review its accounting policies in the light of emerging industry consensus on the practical application of IFRS.

The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial information and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual events ultimately may differ from those estimates. The interim information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the financial information, as at 30 September 2015, summarised in the 2015 Annual Report and Accounts. There have been no significant changes in any risk management policies since 30 September 2015.

The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 31 March 2016 and for the six months ended 31 March 2015 do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and are unaudited. The financial information for the six months ended 31 March 2016 presents financial information for the consolidated group, including the financial results of the Company's wholly owned US subsidiary, Actual Experience Inc. Comparative figures in the Interim Report for the year ending 30 September 2015 have been taken from the Group's audited financial statements on which the Group's auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, expressed an unqualified opinion.

   3          Segmental reporting 

The Directors consider that there is one identifiable business segment that is engaged in providing individual products or services or a group of related products and services that comprise the core business.

The information reported to the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance is based wholly on the overall activities of the Group. Due to the current size and activities of the Group there is a high degree of centralisation of activities. The Directors therefore consider that there is one operating, and hence one reportable, segment for the purposes of presenting information under IFRS8; that of "Digital experience quality analytics services and associated consultancy services". There are no differences between the segment results and the condensed statement of comprehensive income. The assets and liabilities information presented to the CODM is consistent with the Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position. All of the Group's assets and operations are located in the UK and the USA.

   5          Loss per share 

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the 6 months to 31 March 2016 was based upon the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of GBP2,456,951 (6 months to 31 March 2015: GBP899,214, year ended 30 September 2015: GBP2,225,455) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue of 37,138,136 (6 months to 31 March 2015: 28,844,225, year ended 30 September 2015: 31,239,006), calculated as follows:

Due to the losses incurred there is no dilutive effect from the issue of share options. At 31 March 2016 there were 2,484,925 share options granted but not yet exercised (31 March 2015: 2,146,975; 30 September 2015: 2,460,425).
