Dillistone Group Plc, the AIM quoted supplier of software and services to recruiters, is pleased to announce interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2022.
Financial Highlights

-- Recurring revenues represented 88% (2021: 90%) of Group revenue, which covers administration expenses (excluding depreciation and amortisation).
-- Annualised recurring revenue relating to Talentis ended H1 at GBP62k, an increase of over 300% on the equivalent figure at the end of H2 2021.
-- Growth in orders driven by improving performance in market. Order book increased by 13% year on year.
-- The Group benefited from flexible furlough support worth GBP0.170m in 2021. Excluding this, the Adjusted(*) loss on operating activity decreased from GBP0.260m in 2021 to GBP0.129m in 2022 - an improvement of 51%.

-- Contingency business successfully implemented previously announced large contract win. A further large contract was received post period end, providing confidence in H2 and visibility into the future.
-- Driven by Talentis, our executive search products had their best H1 in terms of new contract wins since 2017.
Commenting on the results and prospects, Giles Fearnley, Non-Executive Chairman, said:
"In my statement in the annual report, I was optimistic for the future and our H1 results validate this belief. Revenue is growing, our order book is stronger and operational performance is improving. We enter the second half with a strong pipeline of business and are optimistic about delivering further progress in the coming months.
"While the Board is conscious of the broader economic situation, it expects the Group to deliver full year results in line with market expectations."

Chairman's Statement
In my statement in the annual report, I said that I was optimistic for the future. This has been validated by our first half results which show a strong and improving performance in both our executive search and contingency staffing markets.
In the first half, the Group has delivered increased revenue, improved cash generation and a healthy order book. The Group benefited from flexible furlough support worth GBP0.170m in 2021. Excluding this, the Adjusted loss on operating activity decreased from GBP0.260m in 2021 to GBP0.129m in 2022 - an improvement of 51%.
We have previously announced that our non-executive Director, Julie Pomeroy, was due to step down from the Board on 30(th) September 2022. We are pleased to say that Julie has now agreed to stay with the Group. We are also delighted to confirm that Ian Mackin, previously Interim FD has now accepted the position on a permanent basis. We would like to thank Joanne Curd, who left the Group at the end of July 2022, for her valuable contribution.
Operational Review
The Group has seen order book growth of 13%, helping us to deliver H1 year on year revenue growth. While much of the growth has been in non-recurring revenue, we are pleased to note that recurring revenue saw year on year quarterly growth during Q2 2022, and we fully expect this growth to continue into H2. Net debt stands at (GBP0.992m), against a 2021 figure of (GBP0.925m). Cash generation in H1 was ahead of budget and the Group does not expect to need to raise additional capital to restore profitability.
We are pleased to report an improving performance from both our contingency and executive search products.
Our contingency products (Infinity, ISV, Mid-Office and VDQ) saw revenue grow by a combined 9%, driven by a particularly strong performance from our Infinity recruiting CRM. Many of our Infinity projects have been on behalf of firms in the Temporary staffing space and, as such, some of these firms also implement our Mid-Office application.
The period saw the successful completion of our previously announced large Infinity order and we are pleased to report that, post period end, we have won a further large contract for this product.
Our ISV product continues to make a contribution to profits, with clients including many of the UK's largest recruitment businesses. A number of these firms are on multi-year contracts.
The increasingly strong performance by Infinity has allowed the Group to prepare for the withdrawal of support for our VDQ product, and this is expected to occur over the coming months.
Our market share in the executive search software space (where historically we have offered FileFinder and GatedTalent) has fallen over recent years. However, we are delighted to report that this trend has begun to reverse. Driven by strong performance by our Talentis product, launched in 2021, this part of our business has added more than 50 new clients in the first half. In terms of new client wins, this was our best executive search CRM performance since 2017.
Launched in early 2021 and provided as part of a package to many FileFinder clients, Talentis now also has "stand alone" paying clients on six continents. Most of these clients have a small number of users, but we expect average client size (and associated revenue) to grow over time as we continue to develop and extend the product. Annualised recurring revenue associated with Talentis ended H1 at GBP62k, an increase of over 300% on the equivalent figure at the end of H2 2021. Across the Group, it has become our fastest growing CRM product by number of contract wins in the period.
Our FileFinder product has seen improved client retention, partly as a result of our decision to provide Talentis as part of a package to many of these firms. We have now completed our re-engineering of the FileFinder SaaS platform and are pleased to report a reduction in our FileFinder hosting costs of 21% in the period, largely as a result of this work.
GatedTalent continues to make a contribution to the Group, and the period has seen us undertake work to improve the margin associated with the professional services delivered under this banner. As part of this, we were delighted when one of our employees became - we believe - the first resume writer in Europe to be recognised by the National Résumé Writers' Association.
Across all of our product range, we continue to deliver best-in-class customer service. During the period, we were delighted to become, we believe, the first firm in our market to earn a "5* Excellent" rating on Trustpilot.
Financial Performance
Revenue in the six months ended 30 June 2022 amounted to GBP2.823m, up GBP0.022m (1%) (2021: GBP2.801m). Recurring revenues decreased by 2% to GBP2.477m over the comparable period last year (2021: 17% decline on 2020 H1 to GBP2.522m). However, in Q2 2022 we experienced our first year on year growth in quarterly recurring revenue since Q2 2018. Recurring revenues represented 88% of total revenues (2021: 90%). Non-recurring revenues were up 30% at GBP0.261m (2021: GBP0.200m).
Cost of sales increased 4% to GBP0.351m (2021: GBP0.336m), benefitting from a decrease of 21% in hosting costs for our FileFinder SaaS product as we moved to a new platform. This helped offset a growth driven rise in cloud and data processing costs elsewhere.
Adjusted administration expenses decreased by GBP0.139m to GBP2.037m (2021: GBP2.176m). These expenses are covered 122% by recurring revenue (2021: 116%)
Amortisation of acquisition intangibles amounted to GBP0.082m (2021: GBP0.107m). In 2021 other items of credit GBP(0.092m) were received, which included the write-off of a US payroll protection loan which was forgiven in the period and, in Australia, a Covid-19 related grant.
The loss for the period before tax increased to GBP0.274m (2021: loss GBP0.141m). The loss after tax was GBP(0.183m) (2021: GBP(0.101m)).
There is a tax credit for the period of GBP0.091m (2021: credit GBP0.040m). The 2021 and 2022 tax credits have benefited from claims in the UK for research and development reflecting the continuing development of our products.
Cash generated from operating activities stayed broadly level at GBP0.560m (2021: GBP0.562m). Total cash flows in the 6 months ended 30 June 2022 showed a net outflow of GBP0.186m (2021: outflow GBP0.110m). The main elements of non-operating expenditure related to investment in new product development of GBP0.477m (2021: GBP0.504m) and loan repayments of GBP0.150m (2021: GBP0.213m).
At 30 June 2022, we had net cash reserves of GBP0.608m (2021: GBP1.039m) and GBP1.600m in borrowings (2021: GBP1.964m).
The CBIL loan balance stands at GBP1.200m and, on the current payment profile, has another 4 years until it is fully repaid. The Group also has a convertible loan of GBP0.400m, which will not be repaid until the CBIL loan has been repaid.
Strategy
Our long-term strategy is unchanged, concentrating on returning to sustainable growth and increasing profits. We are excited by the opportunity provided by our new Talentis product and the continued investment across our product range, backed up by consistently delivering "best in class" service to our clients.
Outlook
In my statement in the annual report, I was optimistic for the future. This remains my view, and I am delighted to that our performance during and since H1 has compounded this opinion.
In our view, Infinity has become a leading product in the UK temporary staffing sector, and we believe that this market is likely to perform well during any economic downturn. Talentis continues to grow rapidly and, based on the number of contracts signed in H1, we believe that the product has taken a significant share of new orders in the market and will increasingly be considered a market leader in the sectors it serves. Our aim now is to increase the size and value of the contracts associated with this product - and we are already seeing progress to this end. We remain very excited by the opportunity that Talentis presents for our Group.
The Group expects to deliver full year results in line with market expectations. Our cash position as at 31 August 2022 was GBP0.617m and we do not expect to raise additional funds to reach profitability.

1. Basis of Preparation
The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2022 included in this condensed interim report comprises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of cash flows, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related notes.
The financial information in these interim results is that of the holding company and all of its subsidiaries (the Group). It has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards but does not include all of the disclosures that would be required under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The accounting policies applied by the Group in this financial information are the same as those applied by the Group in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 and are those which will form the basis of the 2022 financial statements.
The comparative financial information presented herein for the year ended 31 December 2021 does not constitute full statutory accounts for that period. The Group's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Group's independent auditor's report on those statutory accounts was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Going concern
The directors have continued to perform detailed forecasting on a regular basis taking into account current trading and expectations and cash balances and, having reflected upon these forecasts, the directors of the Company continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Dillistone Group Plc is the Group's ultimate parent company. It is a public listed company and is domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is 12 Cedarwood, Crockford Lane, Chineham Business Park, Basingstoke, RG24 8WD. Dillistone Group Plc's shares are listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
2. Share Based Payments
The Company operates two share option schemes. The fair value of the options granted under these schemes is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period at the end of which the option holder may exercise the option. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes model.
