("Proxama", the "Company" or the "Group")

Half-Year Results and Trading Update

Proxama PLC, (AIM: PROX), the leading mobile location and data intelligence expert, is pleased to announce its half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2017 ("Half Year" or "H1 2017") and a trading update.

Financial Highlights

-- A successful equity placing on the 25 July 2017 raising GBP3.1m (before expenses), enabling the Group to become debt free and provide working capital for the Location Sciences division.

-- As expected, revenues decreased to GBP1.0m (2016: GBP1.21m), as the Company restructures its Digital Payment division and transitions its focus to Mobile Location Data. Other operating income, which includes grant income, was GBP0.20m (2016: GBP0.32m) and therefore total income for the half year is GBP1.17m (2016: GBP1.53m).

   --    Adjusted EBITDA(1) losses before exceptional items reduced to GBP1.8m (2016: GBP2.10m). 

-- Administrative expenses for the business were GBP3.39m of which GBP0.36m were incurred to undertake the significant change the business has undergone such as restructure and fundraising. Therefore, the underlying administrative expenses were GBP3.0m (2016: GBP4.1m), a reduction of 26%.

-- Underlying adjusted EBITDA(1) losses before exceptional items is GBP1.53m (2016: GBP2.10m), a reduction of 27%.

-- As at September 2017 the annualised costbase of the business is reduced down to approximately GBP4.2m (2016 full year: GBP7.4m) which includes 33 full-time employees (reduced from 60 at the start of the year). This significant reduction in the operational cost of the business leaves the Company well positioned for the future.

-- Losses before tax for the half year decreased to GBP2.42m (2016: GBP2.94m) an improvement of 18%.

   --    Adjusted loss per share(2) for the half year of 0.22p (2016: 0.27p). 

Operational Highlights

   --    On-going contract to supply location data and services to a major UK city transport project. 
   --    Restructure of the Digital Payments division, resulting in a reduction to costs of GBP1.2m. 

-- Delivery of Digital Payment division services to a major client in South Africa, and retention of all existing clients.

Trading Update

-- The Group became fully debt free through a combination of raising GBP3.1m in July 2017, redeeming fully the GBP2.5m loan with Barclays, and conversion of the GBP0.4m White Angle Ltd loan.

-- Launch of Location Sciences, as announced on 11 September 2017, incorporating the previous Proximity Marketing business under Managing Director Mark Slade, to provide businesses with unprecedented access to precise location data and services. Highlights include:

o An increase in audience to over 4 million consumers;

o The provision of precision location data to three new partners on a recurring revenue basis;

o The supply of the first attribution services to a major mobile media partner.

-- Significant growth in the key business KPIs set for Location Sciences - our audience surpassed 4 million consumers, following the signing of Rail Delivery Group's National Rail Enquiries app, and our data points surpassed 2 billion.

-- Having exceeded the KPIs, the Board has reset targets to 5 million consumers and 5 billion data points by the end of 2017.

-- Mark Slade and Dan Francis appointed to the Board and leading Proxama's focus on mobile location data.

   --    Jo Rabin appointed as Chief Technology Officer and joins Proxama's Executive team. 

Commenting on the results, John Kennedy, Chief Executive of Proxama, said,

"In 2016 we the laid the important building blocks for the Location Sciences business, securing audience through our app partnerships and expanding our technology to include precise geo-location data. In H1 2017 we've been getting the business 'fit for growth' through the rebuilding of the Board and management team, becoming completely debt free, significantly restructuring the business whilst materially reducing costs and raising the working capital to invest in Location Sciences. We are already seeing the benefit of this investment through exponential growth of our consumer audience and data scale. We continue to focus on monetisation of this data as well as our transition to higher margin products such as online to offline verification. If you believe there is value in the collection, ownership and analysis of billions of data points, along with the ability to analyse real world moments of millions of consumers and apply this value into advertisers and brands then there are exciting times ahead for Location Sciences and Proxama."

Chairman's Statement

Introduction

The first half of 2017 has seen a period of great change for Proxama, and I am pleased with the significant progress we have made in this short time. We have a clear focus, a strengthened balance sheet, and improved efficiencies. I look forward to delivering increased value for our shareholders and customers through the remainder of the year.

The Digital Payment division is now in a stable position following the recent restructuring, resulting in a GBP1.2m reduction in our cost base. We've completed our work on a cornerstone contract with a major South African financial institution, and providing excellent service to our existing customers. I'd also like to thank our Digital Payments team for their support as we went through the restructuring process.

The recent launch of our Mobile Location Data division, Location Sciences, accelerates our growing position in this exciting sector. In just a few short months we have developed a series of market leading data products, and are already monetising this through our partnerships with major industry players. What excites me most is our ability to monetise the same data set many times over with multiple customers in lots of different sectors, representing a quantum change in our ability to scale the business. We have already started to demonstrate this through the supply of precise and verified journey data to a major UK city planning project, and our participation in the Manchester CitySpire initiative, which sees our unique location data used for transport aggregation services.

Results

The trading performance of the business is in line with management expectations. Total revenues (incl. grant and other income) reduced to GBP1.17m (2016: GBP1.53m) as we transformed our Digital Payments and Mobile Location Data divisions.

Total revenue, including grant and other income, for the Mobile Location Data division, Location Sciences was GBP0.24m (2016: GBP0.37m), of which grant income accounted for GBP0.19m (2016: GBP0.29m).

Revenue for the Digital Payments division was GBP0.92m (2016: GBP1.13m), a reduction of GBP0.2m.

Total Administrative Expenses for the Half Year were GBP3.39m (2016: GBP4.1m), a reduction of 17%. Costs associated with the restructuring and fundraising accounted for GBP0.4m of this. Excluding these costs, underlying Administrative Expenses for the Half Year were reduced by 26%.

As at September 2017, the annualised cost base of the business is reduced down to approximately GBP4.2m (2016: GBP7.4m). A key driver for this movement is the reduction in headcount to 33 from 60 at the start of the year.

As at 30 June 2017, the Company had a cash balance of GBP0.4m and during July raised GBP3.1m (before expenses) from new and existing investors. Subsequent to the fund raising the Company redeemed its debt with both Barclays and White Angle and is now completely debt free.

Operating Review

Location Sciences

Precise location data and services have never been so important across multiple industry sectors.

In advertising, brands and their agencies are calling for far greater accountability and transparency when investing in mobile advertising campaigns. Location Sciences is able to tell these companies whether their online spend is translating into increased footfall, for example. We can then also give advice on how to target their online audiences in order to get better results in the future.

In transport, operators can see precisely where millions of anonymous mobile users are moving throughout the day, and city planners can see where people have been over many months and predict where they will go in the future with the help of Location Sciences. This means our customers can better plan transport links or improve the layout of cities.

Market outlook

The wider mobile ecosystem is endorsing location intelligence experts who can offer the right combination of quality, first party-derived data and the products to access it at scale. Snap Inc. for example has recently been acquiring several companies in this sector, including Placed, a location intelligence company similar in capabilities to Location Sciences.

Location Sciences welcomes the developments from Apple iOS 11 and Google Android O version that aim to give more visibility to the consumer regarding how data is collected and for what purpose, and is well positioned for 2018 and any changes that will be required due to the proposed GDPR legislation. We feel this proposed legislation will create opportunities for high quality compliant data in the marketplace, and could see smaller and less robust competitors at a fundamental disadvantage.

Location Sciences is now focused on monetising its products during 2017 and plans further products and expansion for 2018.

The summary of our progress is as follows:

Existing products:

Location Data - we've secured several long term and monthly recurring revenue deals to supply our precise location data to industry partners. We expect to add more during the remainder of 2017. Location Sciences currently has a number of additional partners in active commercial discussions, and expect to increase these product revenues by the year end. Feedback from our partners indicates that our data and services are of the very highest quality.

Location Audiences - during H1 2017 we supplied location derived audiences to an industry leading mobile media partner, and expect to continue to do so via our revenue generating partnership agreement, along with new opportunities in the pipeline.

New products:

OOH Media Attribution & Online To Offline Verification - we continue to work with our existing and new leading Out Of Home ("OOH") partners and media agencies in order to launch these two additional products to market during 2017.

Progress against KPIs:

The Board set three KPIs for Location Sciences to achieve at or before the end of 2017:

   --    Audience(1) - 4.0 million consumers 
   --    Data Points(2)   - 2 billion data points 
   --    Revenue Generating Products - generate revenue from all four data products 

Following the signing of our exclusive agreement with Rail Delivery Group to incorporate Location Sciences technology into the National Rail Enquiries app, we've seen our audience KPI increase to over 4.0 million, and our data points KPI has surpassed our 2 billion target (figures as of end of August). We have now set new targets of 5 million audience and 5 billion data points by the end of 2017.

During H1 2017 our Location Data and Location Audience products generated their first revenues, and we expect these to grow month on month through H2 2017 as both our data volumes and number of partners increase. We expect to monetise our new products in H2 2017.

Digital Payments division

We continue to focus on delivering excellent service for existing customers, who continue to renew on an annual license basis. We've delivered on major new project in South Africa, and we continue to seek new business, and have an active pipeline. The cost base has been restructured, and operates very efficiently.

People

Further to previous announcements, Mark Slade has joined as Managing Director for the new Location Sciences division and joined the Proxama Board. Dan Francis also joined the Board as Chief Strategy Officer.

We are pleased to announce that Jo Rabin joins the Executive team as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), to deliver the technical scaling of the Location Sciences business. Jo brings with him a wealth of technology and delivery experience from his time as CTO in Residence at Wayra London, CTO Mobile at Thomson Reuters, numerous advisory roles and start-up CTO roles at dotMobi, WiForia and Flirtomatic.

During H1 2017, David Bailey stepped down as Deputy Chairman. I would like to take this opportunity to thank David for his support and contribution to Proxama over several years.

Outlook

The Board is now of the single view we have the right board and executive team, the right cost structure for both divisions, and the right products either in market or in development, to continue to exceed on the 2017 KPIs. We believe that billions of precise data points, combined with the ability to draw monetisable insights, makes Proxama a valuable and strong business.

(1) "Audience" is defined as the total number of consumers who have a mobile phone with iOS or Android apps embedded with the Location Sciences technology.

(2) A "data point" is defined as any device event that Location Sciences records and stores, such as a location event, device status change or beacon interaction.

   2.   BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, IFRIC interpretations and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, as described in those financial statements.

The figures for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 have not been audited. The figures for the year ended 31 December 2016 have been extracted from, but do not constitute, the consolidated financial statements of Proxama PLC for that year. Those financial statements have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and included an auditors' report, which was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) or Section 498(3) Companies Act 2006.

   4.   SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS 

Operating segments are based on internal reports about components of the Company, which are regularly reviewed and used by the Board of Directors being the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") for strategic decision making and resource allocation, in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

The Group's operations in 2016 were structured as four trading companies and its financial reporting is reported to the CODM information on two segments: Digital Payments and Location Sciences (formerly Proximity Marketing). The Digital Payments segment predominantly focuses on the migration of Card Payment systems to the EMV Standard known as "Chip and Pin" from old magnetic stripe systems. The Location Sciences segment centres on providing mobile location based data, media and verification services.

It should be noted that from July 2016, the reporting methodology for management accounts changed such that the all operating expenses formerly classified as Group were included in the Location Sciences division, with Group no longer treated as an internal reporting division. Thus for comparison purposes in prior periods Group should be added to the Location Sciences division

It should also be noted that a segmental analysis of the Balance Sheet is not part of routine management reporting and consequently no segmental analysis of assets is shown here

   6.   POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS 

The Group became fully debt free through a combination of raising GBP3.1m in July 2017, redeeming fully the GBP2.5m loan with Barclays, and conversion of the GBP0.4m White Angle Ltd loan.

Darwin hold 558,352,249 share warrants at an issue price of 0.1692pence per share. These warrants can be exercised when the share price reaches 0.1692 pence per share. For comparison the share price at 31 August was 0.03 pence per share.

Barclays hold 5,863,021,931 at an issue price of 0.03 pence per share. This equates to 29.9% of the Company's share capital, and were received in exchange for the release of the GBP2.5m loan facility. A Lock-in and Orderly Market Agreement ("LOMA") was agreed. The warrants cannot be exercised for six months from the agreement (until 26 January 2018) without the prior written consent of the Company. A further provision was agreed where the warrants cannot be exercised for an additional six months (until 26th July 2018) other than through the Company's Broker. In accordance with the terms of the loan redemption no funds are payable by Barclays on exercise of warrants.
