Chief Executive review
Strategic overview
Gresham is creating a global financial technology business based on high-margin Clareti licence sales, sustainable recurring revenue subscriptions and cloud services.
The Group aims to establish Clareti as the enterprise data integrity platform "category leader" in a world awash with real-time streaming data. Our growing portfolio of innovative applications, all based on the Clareti platform, address complex financial control, risk, compliance and broader data governance challenges. Our applications are specifically built to disrupt markets dominated by inflexible legacy technology and user developed applications. Market demand for more agile alternatives is particularly high in financial institutions driven by a global regulatory agenda which is increasingly focussed on data integrity and governance. Gresham is ideally placed to address these needs with its modern technology and deep industry domain expertise.
The Group has now completed the transition to a global operating model and has a strong management team in place, which supports our Clareti-led growth strategy. In addition, the Board continues to consider opportunities to accelerate growth through carefully selected acquisitions.
In the first six months of the financial year total Group revenues increased by 10% to GBP7.8m (H1 15: GBP7.1m). Clareti revenues grew by 46% contributing 40% of total Group revenues (H1 15: 31%). The Group's total recurring revenues were up 16% to GBP4.3m (H1 15: GBP3.7m). Investment in sales & marketing was up 45% as planned to GBP1.6m (H1 15: GBP1.1m). Adjusted EBITDA increased by 28% to GBP1.5m (H1 15: GBP1.1m).
Trading update
The Group saw strong Clareti growth in the first half of 2016 following investment in sales and marketing made over the last year.
In the first half of the year, six new CTC customers signed up including three in the strategically important US market. The Group also signed its first Clareti-as-a-Service customer also in the US. These customers all started their subscriptions during the first half and will make a strong contribution to recurring revenues in the second half. The Group also saw strong services revenue in the period arising from these new wins in addition to existing customers utilising our consultancy expertise to further extend their use of our software.
As anticipated, since 1 July 2016 the Group has signed a North American Tier 1 bank and expects to be able to recognise revenue from this important new win later in the second half of the year once contracted milestones have been achieved. Additionally, Gresham has secured a CTC licence upgrade from an existing global investment bank customer enabling it to extend the use of the technology into new areas, including the replacement of legacy incumbent solutions. This agreement provides for an increase in recurring licence fees and a pricing framework for the bank to deploy additional data integrity controls onto the platform. The Group has also commenced a chargeable pilot project with a UK Tier 1 bank for a new use case for the Clareti platform.
Gresham now has over 30 direct CTC customers using the software live in their business on a daily basis up from 20 customers a year ago, and it was particularly pleasing to see our US reseller win their first two deals during 2016. The number of indirectly contracted customers using CTC software via white-labelled services also continues to grow with the support of our bank partners.
Clareti sales opportunities are progressing positively in all target regions following the Group's investment in sales and marketing, and we have advanced Clareti opportunities with a number of major institutions that we expect to close in the second half of the year. The Group now has experienced sales staff in the UK, Western Europe, Singapore, Australia & the US and is encouraged by the strengthening pipeline and customer wins.
Commitment to innovation
During Q2 the Group opened its new Innovation Labs at The Brewhouse in the centre of Bristol, UK. This new facility is the home for our research and development team as well as our 24/7 operations centre for cloud customers and is also proving to be a valuable sales tool when leveraged for client presentations and workshops.
We continue to invest in new product development as well as enhancing our existing offerings to address customer requirements and deliver competitive differentiation. Our achievements in the first half include:
-- The core Clareti platform and associated software development processes achieved PCI Data Security Standard Level 3.2 (PCI DSS).
-- Our first Clareti application, CTC, extended its lead in the industry in terms of speed of implementation, scalability and data processing performance, and operations user productivity
-- Clareti Accounts Receivable Management (Clareti ARM) the leading white label offering for transaction banks was enhanced with advanced remittance advice functionality.
-- The development of Clareti Loan Control (CLC) which is on-track with user acceptance testing underway with our first customer. This innovative cloud offering is the industry's first front-to-back debt servicing platform for complex loans and will provide the Group with a third Clareti line of business in 2017 in partnership with our lead CLC customer.
-- Clareti-as-a-Service was launched at the start of 2016 allowing customers to deploy our technology as a fully managed cloud service from Gresham, in addition to deploying on-premise or in their private clouds.
During the first half Gresham was independently recognised as one of the top risk technology providers globally in the 2016 Chartis RiskTech100 (R) report. Gresham were listed 43rd out of 100 achieving particularly strong scores for innovation, organisational strength and customer satisfaction.
Commitment to Customer Success
The Group is focussed on achieving rapid return on investment for customers, exceptional levels of customer satisfaction and close ongoing dialogue with product development. As a testimony to the speed at which Clareti can be deployed, all new customers who started their projects during the first half of the year are already using their CTC application live in production. The Group's consulting services operation is profitable, and new service products are being launched alongside implementation services to ensure that customers receive the benefit of Gresham expertise throughout the lifecycle. A new Global Director, Customer Success and Service Delivery has been hired to ensure that the Group continues to exceed customer expectations as we scale globally in addition to increasing our revenues from existing and new customers.
Other Products
The Group's portfolio of other products remains stable and is trading in line with expectations.

Clareti revenues continued to grow strongly during the period as total Clareti revenues increased by 46% to GBP3.2m (H1 15: GBP2.2m), with Clareti software revenues increasing by 5% to GBP1.6m (H1 15: GBP1.5m) and Clareti software recurring revenues increasing by 47% to GBP1.3m (H1 15: GBP0.9m). Clareti services revenues were up 135% to GBP1.6m (H1 15: GBP0.7m).
The Group continues to win new customers to use the Clareti platform in both proven and new use cases, in addition to achieving strong growth in revenues from existing customers expanding their usage of Clareti to more users and more business applications.
Total software recurring revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2016 increased by 16% to GBP4.3m (H1 15: GBP4.3m) with recurring revenue as a proportion of all revenues up slightly in the period to 55% (H1 15: 53%). Revenue from all other non-Clareti parts of the business remain in line with plan.
Adjusted EBITDA was up 28% to GBP1.5m (H1 15: GBP1.1m) despite the planned increase in sales and marketing activities which were up 45% to GBP1.6m (H1 15 GBP1.1m). Other administrative costs remain tightly controlled and saw a small decrease of 0.3% in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period last year.
Excluding exceptional charges, the Group's pre-tax profit increased by 18% to GBP0.9m (H1 15: GBP0.7m). In the first half of 2016 these exceptional charges amounted to GBP0.2m and relate mainly to the closure of our Denver office and relocation of our Latteridge operations to the Group's new flagship innovation labs located in Bristol, UK.
For the period to 30 June 2016, the Group recorded a net tax credit of GBP0.2m mainly in connection with recognition of deferred tax balances arising on enhanced research and development capital allowances and unexercised share options. This is offset by an adjustment to current tax of GBP0.1m from finalisation of the Group's prior years UK research and development claims. The Group is carrying forward tax losses of approximately GBP14.4m mainly in respect of UK subsidiaries. Of this amount GBP10.8m is recognised and is mostly offset by a deferred tax liability for timing differences associated with capitalisation of the Group's development costs for which the Group has received upfront capital allowances but amortisation has yet to be charged.
Basic earnings per share increased by 2% to 1.45 pence (H1 15: 1.42 pence) and diluted earnings per share adjusted for exceptional items increased by 19% to 1.70 pence (H1 15: 1.43 pence).
As a Board we are committed to commencing a progressive dividend when the circumstances are deemed to be appropriate. Whilst our priority remains to reinvest cash generated in 2016 into the business to support our strategic aims, as a Board we have a firm intention to review the position subsequent to that and consider declaring a maiden dividend in respect of financial year 2017.

The Group continues to be funded from operating cash and has no debt. During the six months ended 30 June 2016 cashflow arising from operating activities grew by 48% to GBP1.4m (H1 15: GBP0.9m) as a direct result of the increasing profitability of the Group. Net cashflow from working capital movements and income taxes was broadly even between the first halves of 2016 and 2015.
As planned, investments in property, plant & equipment increased due to the closure of our Denver office and relocation of our Latteridge operations to the Group's new flagship innovation labs located in Bristol, UK. Investments in development activities (development costs are capitalised as intangible assets) increased due to GBP0.4m of temporary resource engaged in the first half to help specific client-funded product delivery. This requirement has now completed and investment in development is anticipated to return to more normalised levels in the second half of 2016.
During the period the Group received GBP0.2m from the exercise of employee shares options (H1 15: nil) which combined with the cash flows from operating and investing activities resulted in closing cash for the Group of GBP3.9m. Excluding the one-off cash outflows associated with the office reorganisations and temporary development resource in the first half of 2016, the Group is cash generative on a run-rate basis and with investment levels in product now at a constant level cash inflow is expected to increase in line with the Group's increasing profitability.
In August 2016 the Group received GBP0.7m in respect of its 2015 UK tax research and development claim.
Outlook
Market demand for modern transaction control and data integrity platforms continues to grow driven by the need for improved financial certainty, more granular risk controls, enhanced data governance and regulatory compliance.
Our strategy when we first brought CTC to market was to attack transaction control problems that were not well served by legacy vendors with their less flexible technology. We initially targeted complex data control challenges where customers had resorted to in-house solutions, spreadsheets and manually intensive processes. In 2016 so far we have won several direct competitor replacement deals as we have broadened our market focus. We now have more entry points into large financial institutions and a growth path to true enterprise-wide deployments and larger deal sizes. Additionally, the Group now has sales teams in all target geographic markets and a strong base of referenceable Clareti Transaction Control and Clareti Accounts Receivable Management customers. The ongoing investment in products and general availability of our cloud platform further strengthens our proposition for customers.
As a reflection of this, our pipeline includes a number of Clareti opportunities for 2016 with Tier 1 and other major institutions, some of which are at advanced stages of negotiations. We anticipate converting a number of these opportunities in the second half, providing a solid contribution to our planned Clareti revenues in current and future years.
Clareti recurring revenues continue to build steadily and the Group has approximately 90% visibility of total revenues for FY 2016. The Group's other product revenues remain stable and are performing in line with expectations.
The Board remain confident with the strategy of Clareti-led growth for the Group, and are excited by the growing market opportunity available and the outlook for the Group.

2. Segmental information
The segmental disclosures reflect the analysis presented on a monthly basis to the chief operating decision maker of the business, the Chief Executive and the Board of Directors.
During the year ended 31 December 2015 the Group re-evaluated the internal presentation of its operating segments to more appropriately aggregate the differing sets of risks that the Group's businesses face.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into the following reportable segments:
-- Clareti Solutions - supply of solutions predominantly to the finance and banking markets across Asia Pacific, EMEA and North America. These solutions include Clareti Transaction Control ("CTC") currently and for future periods will include other associated Clareti platform applications.
-- Other Solutions - supply of a range of well established solutions to enterprise-level customers in a variety of end markets.
The change has had the following impact on classification of operating segments:

4. Earnings per ordinary share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The following reflects the profit and share data used in the basic and diluted loss per share computations:
