INTERIM RESULTS OVERVIEW
As announced in the trading update on 17 January 2017, dotdigital delivered strong profitable growth slightly ahead of management expectations.
dotmailer: Email Marketing and Marketing Automation Software - SaaS Products
The performance from the SaaS product based email marketing platform continues to grow with revenue increasing by 17% for the six-month period to GBP15.0m (H1 2016: GBP12.9m) with strong recurring revenue continuing to form a significant part of this total.
Profit before tax grew by 30% to GBP4.3m (H1 2016: GBP3.3m) after further investment in building out both the US and Australia. We continued investment into the hybrid cloud infrastructure to both the US and Europe regions. This will assist with future organic growth of the business and provide a scalable solution to the international markets with in region data processing and storage.
Our focus on winning higher value clients, adding additional value to our existing clients through incremental advanced functionality bolt ons, growth in recurring spend from existing clients and improved levels of client retention driven by clients signing up to longer term contracts has led to strong organic growth. Average monthly billing from all clients increased by 24% to GBP650 (H1 2016: GBP525).
Revenues from the US region have continued to grow and the US division is now well established with 16 employees and is profitable at the divisional level. The New York sales office maintains its focus on sector niches such as Magento, Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics connectors. Over the period, the US team was further strengthened to support both channel partnerships and direct sales as well as having a more competitive and focussed proposition in market. It is anticipated that further investment will be made within Sales, Channel and Customer Success teams plus increased spend in Marketing.
We continue to build strong relationships in APAC. We have now successfully created a direct sales and marketing team based in Australia to further enhance growth plus take advantage of the opportunities not only within Australia but the broader Asia Pacific region. Revenue has grown 139% to AUS$0.5m with a strong pipeline in place.
Finally, during the interim period, we successfully opened a development hub in South Africa to complement our teams in the UK and Belarus. As the market in the UK for talented product developers becomes far more competitive, we will continue to look abroad, including in South Africa, to ensure we are able to continue to attract talented employees with a high level of technical knowledge and commercial acumen.
Further Product Innovation
The dotmailer platform continues to evolve to provide higher levels of marketing automation for our eCommerce, B2C and B2B clients by way of our product releases in July and December 2016 including some exciting new capabilities including:
- Team management enhancements for decentralised marketing teams;
- Salesforce connector now new version ready (Lightning);
- PayPal integration for in-email purchase;
- Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce connectors in the cloud infrastructure for US and Europe;
- Mobile first optimisation of Campaigns;
- Oro CRM connector;
- Further enhancements to Magento 2 connector; and
- Transactional email sending capability.
We continue to see an increase of 71% in incremental recurring revenues by the adoption of our marketing automation and advanced feature add-ons from our clients. This has helped in maintaining strong margins and increasing the proportion of recurring revenues within Group revenue now stands at 81%.
Financial Summary
Balance Sheet & Cash Position
dotdigital continues with its strong cash generation from operations with the interim end net cash balance growing to GBP18.9m after a total capital expenditure of GBP1.1m comprising product development of GBP0.9m and hardware/software upgrades of GBP0.2m. The Group continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet with gross assets of GBP33m and no debt.
Dividend Policy
A dividend of 0.43p per ordinary share (an increase of 19% on the prior period) along with a special dividend of 0.41p per ordinary share, was proposed by the Company at the time of its Final Results in October last year, demonstrating a commitment from the Board to deliver value by focusing on total shareholder return. This dividend was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 20 December 2016 and paid on 31 January 2017. The Group's dividend policy continues to be that a full review of dividends will be held at the time of the year end, therefore the Board is not proposing an interim dividend.
Current Trading & Outlook
The core business continues to perform strongly and the strategy to continue to invest in the business is delivering pleasing results.
The Group's organic growth strategy continues to be focussed around three main areas:
1. Geographic expansion; 2. Developing strategic partnerships; and 3. Product innovation and features.
In the six months to 31 December 2016, key performance highlights against these areas were:
Geographic Expansion
US
Growth of our US region revenue, which grew by 11% from US$2.1m to US$2.3m started off more slowly than was originally anticipated, however, after a number of changes to structure, product bundles and pricing, sales volumes and pipeline are now moving back in line with expectations.
During the six-month period to 31 December 2016, the Board has carried out a team restructuring to closer reflect the market conditions with a higher emphasis on customer success which has led to increased life time value of clients and reduced cost of acquisition of new clients. The pricing in the US was also changed to closer reflect the competitors operating in the local market, making us more aligned to the requirements of our prospects and customers.
In addition, as part of the overall changes made we have broadened out the proposition in the US to start targeting both the ecommerce and CRM markets through the connectors already built but also the anticipated connectors.
APAC
The operations in Australia (which acts as the hub for broader APAC) has now been established. We continue to build relationships with the key partners that help underpin our indirect channel sales strategy. We have signed our first key partner in Singapore which we expect will help raise brand awareness and result in new client referrals.
A strong sales pipeline has now started to build from these partnerships with revenue from the APAC region growing by 139% to AUS$0.52m from AUS$0.22m. Although this is a promising start, it highlights the length of time it takes to build valuable relationships with the partner channel and sales continue to build albeit somewhat slower than our original expectations.
As we go into the second half of the year, we have introduced a direct sales team which will sell into the Australian market, and as our pipeline continues to grow we expect this to increase sales conversion.
To improve customer experience and respond to partner feedback, we have also built out a Customer Success and Support team within the region because of the significant time zone difference to existing Customer Success and Support teams.
Overall, whilst our business in APAC is still in its early days of growth, we are optimistic about the opportunities within this diverse region and continue to focus on working with our Magento customers and CRM integrations.
EMEA
Revenue from the EMEA region grew by 13% from GBP11.4m to GBP12.8m, as a result of new client wins and an increased appetite of our existing customers to purchase more product functionality on an incremental basis.
Within the UK, we successfully carried out the restructuring of our direct sales department from the leadership level downwards. In addition, the Board reviewed pricing and product bundles. As a result of these changes we have already seen a 25% increase in the number of new customers signed compared to the same period last year and an increased pipeline of prospects.
To improve our customer's experience, at the start of this financial year we refocused our Account Management team on long term customer success which has led to higher levels of customer satisfaction and retention, with Net Promoter Scores ("NPS") reaching an all-time high.
As the brand awareness continues to build further into the EMEA market, we are excited to be entering the Nordics region through the partnerships with Magento system integrators and a focused direct sales team. Additionally, through the traction, we have built within South Africa we are launching a self-service model in H2 2017 to take advantage of this opportunity.
Following a review of organic growth opportunities, dotdigital now has a clear and focussed strategy on the key target territories within the EMEA market. This will deliver continued growth in H2 2017 and into 2018.
Developing Strategic Partnerships
The Magento partnership still forms a significant part of our organic growth strategy and we will further invest in the development of the connector and deepening our relationship. We continue to be the only global premier Marketing Automation partner and have over 350 clients using the connector, producing annualised revenues of more than GBP5.6m. Take up of Magento 2 was slower than expected in 2016 but a good pipeline has been building in Q2 with further growth anticipated in the second half of the year, discussions continue with Magento to promote dotmailer to new Magento users to maximise conversion.
dotmailer has recently partnered with PayPal, the world's largest internet payment provider who has over 7 million ecommerce business users globally. Our integration with PayPal offers our customers the ability to offer a one click purchase in their email campaigns. This is a unique proposition in the market hence it is expected to add value to our mid-market customers. This is in Beta testing and is expected to be launched in March 2017.
As part of the strategy to diversify our connectors within in the Ecommerce and CRM platform space we have formed a strategic partnership with ORO, a new US based global leader in CRM solutions for multi-channel business to business ("B2B"). Currently this integration is in Beta testing with the full launch due later in 2017.
Product Innovation and Features
Key product features released in July and December 2016 included new connectors and integrations that are in Beta testing, further development of our self-service proposition, mobile first enhancement to campaigns, further scalability development for Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics connectors and transactional email sending capability.
Deployment [is underway] of a new dotmailer platform instance into the US and Europe utilising the latest hybrid-cloud technology, enabling customers a performant hosting environment and data storage that will cater for in-region data privacy requirements. This will allow faster low latency use of the platform in these regions.
A new Support centre and training hub has been implemented to enhance customer experience and drive feature adoption.
Recently the product development team had its annual 'Hackathon', where new ideas and technologies are rapidly developed in a short time frame. New and exciting innovations are being carried out in artificial intelligence and machine learning technology. As we go into the second half of the year we will continue to develop and invest in Artificial Intelligence.
dotdigital's agile product team develop to 4 cycles per annum of formalised and managed releases. Input for prioritisation comes from various sources such as:
-- Externally from client and prospects needs and requests; -- Internally from a continuous focus on efficiencies to support dotdigital's growth and scale;
-- Commercially from the identification of additional opportunities for technology adoption which, in turn drives recurring revenues;
-- Strategically to exploit any potential strategic partnerships/initiatives that will drive value for the business; and
-- Connectors that add value and aid diversification to the mid-market proposition in both ecommerce and CRM platforms.
Outlook Summary
The strategy of focussing on fast growing midsize/small enterprise businesses, our connectors and adding value to these clients with our advanced functionality to enhance their marketing strategies has driven average monthly spend up by 24%. This combined with a focus on contracted recurring revenue spend and an improved customer experience has led to improved retention and hence overall higher lifetime customer values, and we expect our CAC/LTV ratio to continue to improve.
The second half of the year sees a clear and focussed strategy in both established and new markets, with a clearly defined product roadmap and diversification of our connectors in both the ecommerce and CRM space.
The Direct Marketing Association's ("DMA") latest research on marketers and brand views on the state of email marketing in the UK suggests that 63% of marketers consider email marketing to be very important for their corporate strategy. Email marketing remains the highest Return on investment ("ROI") of all digital marketing channels with over 50% of marketers having an ROI across all brands of GBP30 for GBP1 spent. Over 97% of all email marketers expect their budgets to increase or stay the same next year with 53% of these expecting an increase or significant increase. dotmailer is well placed to benefit from this, and recent concerns over placement of digital adverts on unsuitable websites makes email look one of the safest digital channels.
The Board continues to proactively look at the effects of the GDPR changes that are expected to be adopted and implemented by the European Union countries (including the UK) in May 2018. We continue to carry out gap analysis on any development work that may be required to comply with the new regulation; any work required will be prioritised. James Koons, our Chief Privacy Officer, was recently invited to the round table in Brussels to comment on the new legislative changes and Skip Fidura, our Consultancy director, who also sits on the Board of the Direct Marketing Association is also assisting in the lobbying with the Information Commissioner on the interpretation of this legislation for marketing technology companies.
The growth strategy of the business continues to be primarily focussed on organic growth, however the Board continues to investigate potential acquisition targets. Our strict assessment criteria of creating genuine long term shareholder value with acceptable levels of execution risk remains key to this process. The search has focussed on three key areas:
1. Expanding geographic coverage; 2. Consolidation of smaller email service providers; and
3. Adjacent technologies which add to the multichannel marketing and customer engagement capabilities of the dotmailer platform.
Based on dotdigital's strong performance at the half year to 31 December 2016, the continued demand for marketing automation, the newly released product features and connectors and our investment strategy for further expansion into international markets, the Board remains confident of continuing to deliver strong growth, underlying profitability and increasing shareholder value the remainder of this financial year in line with market expectation.
