We are focused on becoming a global business operating in multiple geographic regions and are excited by the potential to further extend our reach.

"Our existing operations provide a solid foundation for growth as we continue to benefit from high levels of visibility thanks to long-term contracts and a retention rate of over 77%. We have a blue-chip client base with a growing ability to cross sell our services and, as such, we view the future with confidence. Additionally, we have a proven ability to execute acquisitions and will continue to evaluate opportunities to further consolidate our position.

"Furthermore, we have a strong pipeline of potential new and existing opportunities. There is significant scope for scalability across the Group's target markets and the contracts generated to date demonstrate the attraction of the enlarged Group's service offering. As such, we believe that visibility will continue to improve throughout the remainder of the year and we very much look forward to updating the market with further developments in due course."

About Mortice Limited

Mortice (AIM: MORT), is an AIM listed security and facilities management company, incorporated in Singapore and based in India with additional operations in Singapore and the UK.

Mortice operates under two brands, in India:

-- Peregrine - provision of guarding and security services to a wide range of clients from blue-chip companies, smaller businesses, commercial and private properties, and individuals.

-- Tenon - provision of a full range of facilities management services to corporate occupiers, owners and developers of real estate. Clients include some of the world's most respected blue chip and home-grown companies. Within the Tenon group, Mortice also offers security surveillance services through its subsidiary Soteria and mechanical and engineering services via Rotopower

The business is growing and profitable and is focused on expanding its geographical footprint and growing through targeted acquisitions, as well as organically.

In 2015 the Company established Tenon UK and through this wholly owned subsidiary, acquired UK based Office & General Group Limited (O&G"), an independent property service company specialising in cleaning and providing support services such as environmental solutions and built fabric maintenance in the UK. In addition, the Company acquired a 51% majority stake in Singapore-based security company Frontline Security Pte. Ltd, and has an option to acquire an additional 25% within three years.

Chairman's Statement

Overview

This was another period of excellent growth for the Company, as it generated strong organic growth with like-for-like profits and sales significantly ahead of the same period last year. In addition, the Company benefited from strong contributions from O&G and Frontline, which further strengthened the Company's overall performance during the period and will provide further opportunities for the Group to leverage its client base of international blue-chip clients. The Group won several high profile new contracts during the period with facilities management growing particularly strongly on the back of the strong contribution from O&G. With the acquisitions now fully bedded in, further benefits are expected during the second half with significant scope for new business from the framework agreement with London Universities.

India continues to provide a strong cornerstone for growth. Importantly, India is expected to continue to expand rapidly and underpin further growth with the security market expected to grow in excess of 20% per year. There is significant scope for the Company to grow its security service business at an even faster rate, as legislation is dictating a shift towards 'compliant' security services, benefitting established participants such as Peregrine.

Furthermore, the facilities management industry, in India, is also expected to continue its pace of growth as the trend towards outsourced facilities management continues. By way of example, in India the IT industry currently outsources approximately 60 per cent. of its facilities management, whilst the retail and manufacturing sectors only outsource approximately 15 per cent.

Results

Revenues grew 79% to $91.1m (HY 2015: $51.0m) during the period with profits of $3.1m (HY 2015: $0.3m). The underlying performance remained strong with growth across all parts of the business.

$34m of sales was contributed by O&G and Frontline.

Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $5.0m compared to $1.3m for the first half last year with adjusted PBT for the period $ 2.6m, compared to $0.3m in the first half last year. The Company remains confident about its prospects for the financial year ending 31 March 2017 as it benefits from business synergies and consolidation of the acquired businesses.

During the period, the Company's increased net borrowings remained broadly consistent at $14.6m.

Currency fluctuations impacted revenue growth in dollar terms from India. Sales grew 27% from INR 3.02 Bn to 3.85INR Bn, however once converted the increase was 22%, growing from $47.0m to $57.4m during the period.

The adjusted PBT was INR 146.7 m ($2.2m) and adjusted PAT was INR 109m ($1.6m) compared to INR 80.6m ($1.3m) and INR 54.7m ($0.9m) respectively, from the same period last year.

Sales from our guarding services division, Peregrine Services, grew 27% to $44m (HY 2015: $35m), accounting for 48% of group revenues. Key client wins included Amazon, Torrent Pharma, JW Marriott, Thermal Power Corporation India, Renault Nissan, Samsung, Procter & Gamble.

*Conversion rate 1 INR: $0.01

International Growth

The acquisitions of Frontline and O&G significantly broadened our geographic reach while also providing foundations for us to build on and develop existing relationships they had in place - as highlighted by the GBP55m contract win with the University of Hertfordshire, worth GBP5.3m a year, providing a strong reference point for the capabilities of the enlarged Group. Furthermore, the Company was delighted by O&G's appointment to London Universities' GBP60m cleaning framework. The framework covers the provision of cleaning and associated support services for London Universities Purchasing Consortium ("LUPC") members in Greater London and South East England over a three-year period.

As part of the Framework, member institutions may from time to time invite suppliers within the Framework to participate in tenders for the provision of cleaning services. Whilst O&G is not an exclusive provider of services to this Framework, it is the only contractor to be appointed to all three elements of the LUPC Framework and so is well positioned to benefit from this agreement.

O&G provides exposure to the UK market and contributed revenues of $29m representing 32% of total group revenues during the period. In addition, long-term orders continue to ensure high levels of visibility.

Singapore-based Frontline also contributed positively with revenues of $5m. The focus here remains on finding innovative ways of generating business and increasing profit.

Soteria

Soteria, which offers managed remote surveillance services using an IBM platform, gained further momentum. We are seeing increased client interest and many institutional clients have visited our command centre.

Our trading continues to be robust and, with increased government focus on infrastructure and manufacturing, the demand for our services is well placed to increase. Significantly there is the potential for a global rollout. As well as a growing domestic client base, Soteria has clients based in the UK and the US.

Board Appointments

In May 2016 the Company appointed Pallavi Bakhru and Richard Gubbins as Non-Executive Directors. Their appointments help strengthen the Board as it continues its growth strategy, particularly in an international context, given both of their experience in cross-border enterprises.

Placing

Given the Group's expected continued rapid expansion in India and abroad, the Company has raised GBP2.3 million in order to rebase the capital structure to better reflect the Group's current geographical and market positioning. The funds will be used to reduce dependence on expensive working capital facilities and shift towards a combination of equity and term debt funding.

Following the Placing, the Group will have additional flexibility to execute on its growth plan and, where appropriate, to seek to accelerate growth further through acquisitions and investment in organic growth opportunities.

Outlook

The strong momentum achieved during the period reflects the Company's ability to win new contracts across all parts of the business. Our underlying performance was especially pleasing and is somewhat hidden by the strong performance of our acquired businesses. We are focused on becoming a global business operating in multiple geographic regions and are excited by the potential to further extend our reach. As such, the Placing will provide us with the flexibility to pursue a variety of growth opportunities.

Our existing operations provide a solid foundation for continued growth as we continue to benefit from high levels of visibility thanks to long-term contracts and a retention rate of over 77%. We have a blue-chip client base with a growing ability to cross sell our services and, as such, we view the future with confidence. Additionally, we have a proven ability to execute acquisitions and will continue to evaluate opportunities to further consolidate our position.

Furthermore, we have a strong pipeline of potential new and existing opportunities. There is significant scope for scalability across the Group's target markets and the contracts generated to date demonstrate the attraction of the enlarged Group's service offering. As such, we believe that visibility will continue to improve throughout remainder of the year and we very much look forward to updating the market with further developments in due course.
