CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Business

I am pleased to present Collagen Solutions' interim results for the six-month period ended 30 September 2019. During the period we saw the Group continue its revenue growth as we both diversify our customer base and grow with our core customers. The period saw us focused on upgrading our production capabilities, strengthening our technical excellence and organising the Company around meeting the growing demand for biomaterials product supply, development and contract manufacturing.

Overview

During the six-month period, H1 revenue grew 14.4% on the same period in the prior year, showing continued global demand for our products. Growth was limited by capacity constraints within our collagen manufacturing operation and the timing of delivery of development contract milestones. During the period the Company has made additional investments in people, capabilities and technology that will allow us to build for the future.

The continued organic growth in revenue has not been fully reflected at the earnings level as these investments have impacted our profitability for the first half but we anticipate will provide momentum for the second half and help us meet market expectations.

Where we see growing demand for our products and as we seek to increase our manufacturing capabilities and capacity, delivery of key customer projects and implementation of manufacturing capabilities will be key to deliver the year end outcome.

The Group's results for the six months ended 30 September 2019 are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. More detailed commentary is included within the CEO's statement.

Fundraise and use of Funds

On 5 June 2019, we completed a fundraise of GBP5.96m led by a strategic investor, Rosen's Diversified Inc. Funds raised were to further our customer product development projects as well as ChondroMimetic(R), expand contract manufacturing activities and capabilities, and for working capital including the repayment of the Norgine Ventures Bond Facility.

In line with the proposed use of funds in the first half we have continued investment in ChondroMimetic(R), invested in development of our customers' own proprietary products, increased production capabilities within the Glasgow facility and repaid GBP0.59m of debt.

While the first half saw increased investment in resources, the second half will see delivery of additional technical capacity and space to meet the demand anticipated in financial year 2020/21 from existing and new collagen supply customers, and to fulfil contract manufacturing contracts as they are realised and grow.

Proprietary Products / ChondroMimetic (R)

We have reviewed our R&D projects and business environment, and refocused research and development resources from developing additional proprietary products, other than ChondroMimetic(R), to investment in products developed on behalf of our customers. This shift in approach, while de-risking the business, makes the path to accessing the Scottish Enterprise large R&D grant award announced on 7 January 2019 slightly different to that originally anticipated. We are working with Scottish Enterprise to unlock funds but no income has been recognised in the first half of the year. We also continue to believe our ChondroMimetic(R) implant for the repair of cartilage defects represents significant untapped value for the Company, and are diligently pursuing the approval process cognisant of the regulatory challenges in Europe and resulting uncertainty in timing.

Board and Management

As part of the fundraise above, we welcomed Wade Rosen to the Board. As anticipated, Wade's commercial experience is bringing a welcome new dimension to Board conversations and as the Company is preparing for its next stage of growth. On 13 November 2019 we announced a restructuring of the Board to a slimmer, more efficient profile, reducing the size from eight members to six. This restructuring will enable the executive team to focus on delivery of key initiatives, whilst ensuring effective and efficient governance and Board support.

Outlook

The underlying trend in the business remains positive. Financially, investment in capabilities in the first half means that top line growth has not translated to bottom line performance in the first half. With the creation of additional manufacturing capacity and delivery of development contract milestones in the back half, we remain on track to deliver against our key objectives this year: Financial Performance, ChondroMimetic(R), Core Business Growth, Infrastructure and Product Portfolio, and delivering market results.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report continued progress in the first six months of our financial year, representing the third consecutive six month period of organic double-digit sales growth and progress against all of our key initiatives for the year.

Revenue and Commercial Progress

Revenue for the first six months was GBP2.23 million, representing 14% growth over the prior year. Our core collagen and tissue supply business grew by 56%, led by 124% growth of our tissue business reflecting increased demand from our customers as well as early sales from new customers following our strategy to expand our offering of tissue sources and products. Our tissue business continues to perform well and whilst the customer acquisition process is a lengthy one, in-roads to new customers in new geographies is encouraging. Our core collagen supply grew 13% as well notwithstanding interim capacity constraints. We continued to make significant progress in our development and contract manufacturing projects although overall revenue in this category declined 17% reflecting timing of development contract milestone deliveries, and is expected to reverse in the back half.

Revenue from North America grew 8% in the half to GBP1.58 million, driven both by existing customer demand increases and new customers offset by certain product development milestone timing. Asia Pacific revenue grew 155% to GBP0.46 million both due to increased existing customer demand and new business in China. The EMEA region declined by 38% to GBP0.19 million, driven mostly by existing customer project timing. Overall new customer growth remained strong as we added four new customer contracts and began supply to 10 new customers.

Product Development and Innovation

Our product development team and resources have been largely focused on delivering customer development projects as well as being key partners to our commercial team to help bring on new customers. Not only do these customer development projects provide near-term revenue, but also provide a valuable platform of future sustainable revenue as these projects mature from development to contract manufacturing over time supporting our strategy to move up the value chain.

We are also continuing to focus on gaining CE Mark approval for ChondroMimetic(R). We are in the process of answering questions from our Notified Body, inclusive of providing additional non-clinical test data where necessary. The current regulatory environment in Europe remains challenging as the impending implementation of the new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) have impacted the capacity of all Notified Bodies and therefore we remain cautious on timing for approval, while being diligent in our own efforts to respond quickly and completely to our Notified Body's questions.

Operations and Financial Results

The Group's financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2019 are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Our financial KPIs are as follows:

 Cash and cash 
  equivalents            GBP5.01m          +96% 
                    -----------------  ------------ 
 

Operationally, we have commenced our planned projects to deliver increased capacity in collagen supply and contract manufacturing through investment in capital equipment and the creation of additional space in our Glasgow manufacturing facility. These plans are in line with our aims at the time of the fundraise of increasing manufacturing capabilities and capacity. We believe that expansion at the existing plant provides the best opportunity for a return on investment for our shareholders.

With the mix in the first half leaning towards our tissue business, margins were slightly lower than the previous year but remain strong. In addition, investment in additional resources in the first half of the year to build the capabilities required to service the future business and the timing of development revenue milestones have impacted our profitability in the first half of the year. We believe the continued performance of the tissue business, investment in additional capabilities and capacity in the collagen business, and delivery of development milestones in the second half will allow us to deliver against market expectations.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   1.       BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The unaudited interim statement results for the six-month period ending 30 September 2019 were approved by the Board of Directors on 2 December 2019. The financial information contained in the interim report does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the full preceding year is based on the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2019, upon which the auditors issued an unqualified opinion and did not contain any statement under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The audited statutory accounts for the period ended 31 March 2019 have been lodged with the Registrar of Companies.

While the financial information included in this interim report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union (EU) (IFRS), this announcement does not in itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRS.

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases with effect from 1 April 2019. This standard requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on balance sheet model. Management do not consider the impact of the adoption to be material.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in England & Wales and whose shares are quoted on AIM, a market operated by The London Stock Exchange. The consolidated financial information of Collagen Solutions plc is presented in pounds sterling (GBP), which is also the functional currency of the Group.

   3.       LOSS PER SHARE 

The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 September 2019 is based on losses of GBP977,840 (2018: GBP1,047,743) and on 399,934,210 (2018: 324,516,552) ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the 6-month period. The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share for the period ended 31 March 2019 is based on losses of GBP1,666,269 and on 324,516,552 ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

The loss for the period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares for calculating the diluted loss per share for the six months ended 30 September 2019, the six months ended 30 September 2018 and the year ended 31 March 2019 are identical to those for the basic loss per share. This is because the outstanding share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per share and would therefore not be dilutive under the terms of International Accounting Standard ("IAS") No 33.

   4.       SEPARATELY IDENTIFIABLE ITEMS 

Separately identifiable items in the year ended 31 March 2019 of GBP248,775 within administration expenses relates to the gain on sale of Jellagen Pty Limited investment of GBP214,965 and gains on the restructuring of New Zealand manufacturing operations of GBP33,810. The restructuring gains are made up of a gain on sale of assets previously written off totaling GBP67,591 and provision release of GBP9,219, offset by increased costs of transfer of processes GBP43,000.
