Interim Results
Dillistone Group Plc, the AIM quoted supplier of recruitment software for the international recruitment industry through its Dillistone Systems, Voyager Software and GatedTalent divisions, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2018.
Key points of the results:
-- Order intake ahead of same period in 2017
-- Revenue of GBP4.4m (2017: GBP4.9m) reflecting previously announced loss of client on legacy platform and exchange rate movements
-- Recurring revenue of GBP3.6m (2017: GBP3.9m) -- Recurring revenues represent 81% of total revenue -- Both Dillistone Systems and Voyager Software divisions profitable -- As expected GatedTalent division made a loss of GBP(0.315m) (2017: loss of GBP0.182m) -- Cash generated from operating activities was GBP0.617m (2017: GBP1.064m) -- Operating profit of GBP0.017m before acquisition related items (2017: GBP0.186m) -- Cash balances of GBP1.065m at 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: GBP1.114m) -- September saw next stage of GatedTalent project launch successfully -- GatedTalent membership growth in September ahead of previous best month -- First "Enterprise" contract for GatedTalent access signed.
Commenting on the results and prospects, Mike Love, Non-Executive Chairman, said:
"We are happy to report that both Dillistone Systems and Voyager Software delivered a profit and that the Group made an operating profit before acquisition related items, despite the significant investment in GatedTalent.
"Voyager delivered an excellent order book in the first half and enters the second half with a strong delivery pipeline. Dillistone Systems also saw year on year growth in order intake during that period and is additionally set to benefit from the next phase of GatedTalent which, we believe, will impact positively on both client retention and new business wins in the executive search sector."
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
Results Webinar - Jason Starr, Chief Executive, and Julie Pomeroy, Finance Director, will be hosting a webinar to review the results at 3.00pm on Thursday 11 October 2018.

Notes to Editors:
Dillistone Group Plc (www.dillistonegroup.com) is a leader in the supply and support of software and services to the recruitment industry. It has five brands operating through three divisions: Dillistone Systems, which targets the executive search industry (www.dillistone.com); Voyager Software, which targets other recruitment markets (www.voyagersoftware.com); and GatedTalent, the next generation executive recruitment platform (www.GatedTalent.com).
Dillistone has made three acquisitions: Voyager Software in September 2011, FCP Internet in July 2013 and ISV Software in September 2014. The Group operates under the FileFinder, Infinity, Evolve, ISV and GatedTalent brands.
Dillistone was admitted to AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc, in June 2006. The Group employs over 100 people globally with offices in London (head office) Basingstoke and Southampton, Frankfurt, New Jersey and Sydney.
Chairman's Statement
Most notably, this period has seen the Group, across all divisions, focusing on delivering solutions to its clients to enable them to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations ("GDPR") which came into force in May 2018. GDPR has had a significant impact on all suppliers in our space and we have invested significant time and resources across our Group in ensuring that our clients were able to stay compliant with these new regulations. The divisions have also expended a significant amount of time in educating clients on the ramifications of GDPR.
GatedTalent was launched against this background and, after a slow start, is now seeing accelerating growth in executive registrations. Our clients have sent millions of messages through the platform, and compliancy notes continue to flow through the platform every working day. In addition, we are increasingly seeing executives registering directly with the platform and as a result, we are now seeing well over 1,000 new registrations on the platform every week.
The membership base is exceptionally senior, with approximately 10% of its members being currently employed in a CEO role. Furthermore, the database is highly diverse, with executives registered from more than 100 nations, with the United States being the largest single source of registrations.
The continuing growth of the membership pool meant that, in September, GatedTalent was able to turn on the monetisation element of the platform, although it will generate only minimal revenue in 2018. This is however a significant milestone for the division and Group. As previously noted, the GatedTalent division expects to be loss making in both 2018 and 2019.
Incoming orders have been strong in the 6 months to 30 June, with both Voyager Software and Dillistone Systems reporting orders ahead of the same period in 2017. As expected, the previously announced loss of a major client and the impact of exchange rates have had a negative impact on recurring revenues compared to the same period in the previous year.
Revenue is down GBP0.446m (9%) to GBP4.450m of which GBP0.219m related to the loss of the major client and GBP0.052m related to the negative impact of exchange rate movement compared to the prior year. Recurring revenues represented 81% of revenues (2017 restated: 81%). Loss after tax, acquisition related items, and the loss in the GatedTalent division of GBP0.315m (2017: loss of GBP0.182m), was GBP(0.173m) (2017 restated profit: GBP0.033m).
Divisional review
Dillistone Systems has seen orders in the 6 months to June 2018 ahead of that in the same period in 2017. We believe that the accelerating growth of the GatedTalent membership will start to support sales of the Dillistone FileFinder CRM platform as the year progresses. FileFinder benefits from exclusive integration with GatedTalent.
Dillistone Systems (www.dillistone.com) reported revenues of GBP2.122m (2017 restated: GBP2.241m). Divisional profits are up to GBP0.100m (2017 restated: GBP0.027m). The period saw a significant amount of divisional resource diverted to work on initiatives associated with our GatedTalent product - with resources associated with sales and marketing, implementation, support and development all being diverted from purely FileFinder related activities over this period. This continued into the summer. Over the longer term, the two divisions will have a symbiotic relationship - success in one will lead to success in the other - but there is no question that the diverted resource had an impact on the first half performance of our Dillistone Systems division and has continued throughout the summer period. We believe that, with the recent of launch of the GatedTalent "Search and Connect" functionality, we are now moving into a period where Dillistone Systems will begin to benefit from this investment.
Voyager Software (www.voyagersoftware.com) reported revenues of GBP2.314m (2017 restated: GBP2.655m) with recurring revenue down 12% to GBP1.791m due mainly to the loss of the major legacy contract in February 2018 which accounts for GBP0.219m of the fall in revenue. The Voyager division has enjoyed significant growth in new orders in the first half of the year and will see the benefit of this as the year develops. Divisional profits reduced by GBP0.113m to GBP0.307m in the period, in part due to the contract loss offset by cost saving measures.
Although GatedTalent generated its first revenues in the period of GBP0.014m, revenues are expected to remain at a low level for the remainder of 2018. In the period, it made a loss of GBP(0.315m) (2017: loss of GBP0.182m). GatedTalent is expected to be loss making in 2018 and 2019.
Financial Performance
Revenue in the six months ended 30 June 2018 decreased by 9% to GBP4.450m (2017 restated: GBP4.896m). Recurring revenues decreased by 8% to GBP3.626m over the comparable period last year (2017 restated: GBP3.943m) and represented 81% of total revenues (2017 restated: 81%). Non-recurring revenues were down at GBP0.601m (2017 restated: GBP0.708m). Revenue suffered slightly from the strengthening in sterling; using 2017 rates revenue for the period would have been GBP0.052m higher.
Cost of sales reduced by GBP0.210m in H1 2018 in part due to the direct costs relating to the lost contract and also due to reallocation of certain IT costs to administration costs. Administration expenses reduced by GBP0.021m in H1 2018, again in part due to the lost contract and also through appropriate cost savings. Excluding acquisition related items, depreciation and amortisation increased 7% to GBP0.587m (2017: GBP0.551m). Administrative costs also included GBP0.235m (2017: GBP0.189m) relating to the amortisation of acquisition intangibles. The loss for the period before taxation increased to GBP0.234m (2017 restated: loss GBP0.008m).
There is a tax credit for the period of GBP0.061m (2017: credit GBP0.041m). The 2017 and 2018 tax credits have benefited from claims in the UK for research and development tax credits reflecting the continuing development of our products. In addition, the full IFRS 15 adjustment became tax deductible on 1 January 2018 and has resulted in a deferred tax asset as at 1 January 2017 and has been reflected in the 2017 and 2018 tax credit.
Cash generated from operating activities was GBP0.617m (2017: GBP1.064m). Total cash flow in the 6 months ended 30 June 2018 showed a net outflow of GBP0.318m (2017: outflow GBP0.434m). The main elements of non-operating expenditure related to investment in new product development of GBP0.748m (2017: GBP0.595m) and deferred consideration payments in respect of acquisitions of GBP0.146m (2017: GBP0.220m). At 30 June 2018, we had cash reserves of GBP1.065m (2017: GBP1.114m) and GBP0.400m in borrowings (2017: GBP0.072m).
In view of the continuing investment in GatedTalent, the Board has decided not to pay an interim dividend. Future dividends will depend on Group performance.
IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 came into force on 1 January 2018. The impact on the Group in 2018 is set out in note 5. Prior year periods have been restated to reflect the impact of IFRS 15.
Strategy
The Group continues to believe that GatedTalent has the potential to be transformational for the Group, taking it from a supplier of CRM solutions in a crowded market to potentially being the custodian of one of the World's largest private pools of executive drafted biographical information. If successful, this new platform has the potential to be highly profitable in its own right, whilst also delivering a very significant competitive advantage to other Group products.
Outlook
The Group continues to invest across its full range of products to ensure that they remain relevant for the changing market place and retain the confidence of our client base. The Group currently expects that the full year profit before tax and acquisition related items will be in line with market expectations. The Group continues to have a strong balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF
1. Basis of Preparation
The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2018 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 the recognition and measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted for use in the EU (IFRSs) but does not include all of the disclosures that would be required under 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 2017 and are those which will form the basis of the 2018 financial statements other than IFRS 15 which came into force on 1 January 2018 and has been adopted in full using the retrospective method.
The comparative financial information presented herein for the year ended 31 December 2017 does not constitute full statutory accounts for that period. The Group's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017 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.
In preparing the interim financial statements the directors have considered the Group's financial projections, borrowing facilities and other relevant financial matters, and the board is satisfied that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis 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 50 Leman St, London, E1 8HQ. 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.

5. IFRS 15 impact on 2017 results
The impact of adopting IFRS 15 on a fully retrospective basis was to reduce net assets at 1 January 2017 by GBP1,372,000 as shown in the Statement of Changes in Equity for the 6 months to 30 June 2017, and to reduce net assets at 30 June 2017 by GBP1,305,000. Net profit for the 6 months to 30 June 2017 therefore increased by GBP67,000 and for the 12 months to 31 December 2017 by GBP150,000. A deferred tax asset of GBP182,000 has also been established at 1 January 2017. These adjustments have been reflected below.

With respect to IFRS 15 implementation, the most significant ways that Dillistone generates income from its customers are as follows:
-- Software as a Service ('SaaS') subscriptions - the customer pays a regular fixed amount for the right to access both software and related support service. Revenue is currently recognised over the life of the subscription, which is unchanged under IFRS 15;
-- Outright licences - the customer pays a one-off amount to purchase a licence conferring a perpetual right to use a version of the software. Currently, revenue is recognised at the point control passes to the customer (i.e. 'live' date). Under IFRS 15, licences sold with elective support contracts are separate performance obligations and continue to be recognised at a point in time. However, licences sold with mandatory support contracts consist of one performance obligation, with revenue recognition matching the support contract;
-- Product support - the customer pays a regular fixed amount for the right to access technical support services and the right to future software upgrades. Support subscriptions can be mandatory or elective depending on the software version purchased. Performance obligations under support contracts are satisfied over the subscription life, thus revenue is recognised over time under IFRS 15, as it was previously;
-- Installation services - the customer pays a fee for the software to be installed, with revenue currently recognised when the installation is complete. This continues to be the case under IFRS 15 for most installations, which are not complex and could be completed by a third party. For complex installations, these combine with the licence to form one performance obligation, and revenue recognition consequently matches the licence recognition criteria;
-- Training - the customer pays a fee to be trained in using the software. Training revenue is recognised when delivered, as it is not essential to using the software. However, for training that is essential, training combines with the licence as one performance obligation with revenue recognition following the licence revenue recognition.

The tax charge is impacted by the higher rates of corporation tax payable in the US and Australia offset by the R&D tax credits available to both Dillistone Systems and Voyager Software and GatedTalent Limited. Deferred tax has been provided at rates between 19% and 14.5%.
8. Dividends
In view of its continuing investment in GatedTalent, the Board has decided not to pay an interim dividend (2017: nil per share).
