Surgical Innovations Group plc

Chairman's Statement

For the six month period ended 30 June 2016

I am pleased to report that the Company delivered a robust trading performance in the first half of the year, and has started the second half with confidence.

The rate of revenue growth was pleasing led by strong exports, especially in the US market. Gross margins and profitability were driven up by productivity gains, and cash generation was sufficient to eliminate net bank borrowings by the end of the period.

We have sustained our commitment to investment in new product development, with an overall spend equivalent to almost 15% of revenues (before applicable tax relief). This activity has placed the Company well to launch new branded product ranges in the latter part of this year and next, whilst maintaining close links with our key OEM partners, and ensuring the successful transition into Phase II due to a collaboration in the field of Precision Engineering.

Brand identity, innovation and global reach

SI is recognised as a provider of high quality products offering surgeons robust, reliable and ergonomic solutions. Our reputation is built upon meeting or exceeding stringent quality and regulatory standards, and designing and manufacturing devices and instruments that fulfil all of the requirements of a demanding customer base. We have an excellent track record in supporting the development of advanced clinical techniques due to the valued input of our Clinical Advisory Board, led by Prof. Mike McMahon.

Through strong relationships with a loyal distribution base in more than 30 countries, we have a global reach that ensures that more than 70% of SI branded product is exported. We aim to continue to serve the increasing needs of our marketplace through consultation with clinicians, distributors and procurement specialists, and by building on our strong product portfolio and brand recognition.

Financial Overview

Revenue increased by 16.9% to GBP3.04m (2015H1: GBP2.60m), with export sales up by 19.1% to GBP2.18m (2015H1: GBP1.83m) despite sluggish conditions in Continental Europe. Manufacturing output increased at a faster rate, as the programme of inventory reduction initiated in 2014 was brought within target range by the period end. The effects of increased output, coupled with other productivity, efficiency and purchasing gains, was to further improve average gross margins for the period to 26.6% of revenues, compared with 19.1% for the second half of last year.

With other operating expenses continuing to be tightly controlled, EBITDA for the first half of the year (being profit before taking account of interest, depreciation, amortisation and taxation) amounted to GBP0.50m, which compares favourably with an Adjusted EBITDA (also before allowing for exceptional costs) of GBP0.24m for the full year of 2015. There were no exceptional items in the current period. The net operating profit for the period was GBP0.03m (2015 full year: loss of GBP1.97m, after exceptional costs relating to long term debtor provisions, stock provisions, impairment of intangibles and restructuring costs of GBP1.29m).

The net profit and total comprehensive income for the year amounted to GBP0.25m (2015 full year: loss and deficit of GBP2.03m), resulting in net earnings per share of 0.05p (2015 full year: loss of 0.42p).

Inventories at the end of the period stood at GBP1.28m (December 2015: GBP1.92m), which is within the upper limits of our target range for inventory holdings at the current level of activity. This indicates that production output in the second half of the year will increase further to come broadly into line with cost of sales.

Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to GBP1.77m (2015 full year: GBP1.51m), reflecting increased profitability and more efficient use of working capital. At the end of the period, the Group had available cash at bank of GBP0.43m, and was in full compliance with all financial covenants. Total net indebtedness, taking account of convertible loan capital and finance leases outstanding, reduced to GBP0.72m (December 2015: GBP2.26m) and gearing reduced to 17.0% (December 2015: 57.6 %)

Product development

The first phase products for the new YelloPort Elite range are currently awaiting CE approval and are expected to launch in the UK in the third quarter of the year, and across European markets early in 2017. Clinical feedback has been positive with surgeons keen to try the product range in surgery. Further products are well advanced through internal development, and we are evaluating a number of factored products to broaden the portfolio in a shorter timescale.

Through work with our world leading industrial partners, the Company has identified a number of further potential applications for our core retraction know-how in the precision engineering field which are being explored.

Current trading and outlook

Revenues in the second half of the year to date have continued to outperform the corresponding period last year, and indications of customer demand for the remainder of the year are satisfactory. Margins are expected to benefit from recent fluctuations in currency, with the majority of exports priced in local currencies and a cost base primarily priced in Sterling. With net inventory levels now within target range, production output has been progressively increased, which is expected to further improve gross margins and provide scope to counter competitive pressures.

Our focus on innovation, productivity, exporting and excellence in products and service continue to deliver improving results and open new opportunities to develop the business. Accordingly we look forward with confidence.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

   1.      Basis of preparation of interim financial information 

The interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on 30 August 2016. The financial information set out in the interim report is unaudited.

The interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies and on a basis consistent with the accounting policies and methods of computation as published by the Group in its annual report for the year ended 31 December 2015, which is available on the Group's website.

The Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements in preparing these interim financial statements and therefore the interim financial information is not in full compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted for use in the European Union.

The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory financial statements as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The figures for the year ended 31 December 2015 have been extracted from the statutory financial statements which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) and 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

   2.      Segmental reporting 

Information reported to the Board and for the purpose of assessing performance and making investment decisions is organised into three operating segments. The Group's operating segments under IFRS 8 are as follows:

SI Brand - the research, development, manufacture and distribution of SI branded minimally invasive devices.

OEM - the research, development, manufacture and distribution of minimally invasive devices for third party medical device companies through either own label or co-branding.

PE - (Precision Engineering formerly Industrial.) The research, development, manufacture and sale of precision engineering applications.

The measure of profit or loss for each reportable segment is gross margin less attributable amortisation of product development costs.

Assets and working capital are monitored on a Group basis, with no separate disclosure of asset by segment made in the management accounts, and hence no separate asset disclosure is provided here. The following segmental analysis has been produced to provide reconciliation between the information used by the key decision makers within the business and the information as it is presented under IFRS.

*The segment result calculation has been changed to reflect a more representative apportionment of the allocation of manufacturing overheads.

Revenues are allocated geographically on the basis of where revenues were received from and not from the ultimate final destination of use.

   3.      Taxation 

Current Tax

During 2015 the Group submitted enhanced Research and Development claims in respect of 2014 and elected to exchange tax losses for a cash refund of GBP304,000 which was received in August 2016.

Deferred Tax

At the balance sheet date, the Group has unused tax losses of GBP21.7 million (year ending 31 December 2015: GBP21.5 million) available for offset against certain future profits. The recoverability of the deferred tax asset is dependent on future taxable profits in excess of those arising from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. The recognition of the deferred tax assets is based upon the estimate of future availability of suitable profits. Certain deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares in issue. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares in issue. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders as set out below by the weighted average number of shares in issue.

The Group has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares being share options issued to Directors and employees. The impact of dilutive potential ordinary shares on the calculation of weighted average number of shares is set out below.
