Operational highlights:
-- Successful IPO and admission to AIM on 29 June 2017, raising GBP15 million in the process
-- Signed three new design contracts in three lucrative markets; SD-WAN, g.fast and 5G NLOS wireless
-- Expansion of sales team, broadening reach into international markets
-- Continued investment in R&D to secure future design wins and develop the solutions demanded by the marketplace
David Levi, Chief Executive Officer of Ethernity Networks, commented:
"The first half saw a series of achievements and culminated in the Company's successful AIM IPO and GBP15 million of new investment subscribed by UK-based investment funds. During the period, we introduced our all-programmable Smart NIC and gained initial market traction from tier one network operators, requesting proof of concepts to accelerate certainty of their networking functions by utilising our Smart NIC. Our improved sales mix and three new design contract wins also helped to increase our profitability.
"With the significant push towards the use of Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for network function acceleration, we are very excited about the future. The new funding within the Company, resulting from the IPO is allowing Ethernity to make the necessary investment to build our Sales and Marketing function, as well as to increase our R&D capabilities. We look forward to updating the market in due course on our further progress.
"We remain confident that Ethernity will meet its long term objectives and will be positioned as one of the key solutions providers in its marketplace."

OPERATIONAL REVIEW
During the period under review, Ethernity introduced its all-programmable Smart NIC, (network interface controller) and gained initial market traction from tier one network operators, requesting proof of concepts to accelerate certainty of their networking functions by utilising our Smart NIC.
The Company sees a significant push towards the use of FPGA for network function acceleration. FPGA will become the major platform within next generation servers, as Intel for example, plans to embed high-performance FPGA within its next generation Xeon server processors. This will create the ability to write hardware code on servers in the same way that software has been designed previously on processors. Furthermore, with the market adoption of open source software, Ethernity is well positioned to deliver enhanced open-source solutions for carrier grade appliances by utilising Ethernity's unique, patented, data processing technology.
During the period, the Company signed three design contracts for its standard ENET Carrier Ethernet SoC firmware on FPGA, in three lucrative markets; SD-WAN, g.fast and 5G NLOS wireless. Each of these contracts proved the broad market opportunity for Ethernity's unique and innovative networking technology. In all three wins, Ethernity's proposed solution on FPGA outperformed off-the-shelf application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) in several aspects, including power consumption and advanced features that were not available on ASICs, in addition to competitive pricing. The three design wins utilise the same FPGA component and technology, thus the Company will benefit from enhanced FPGA pricing that will better position this solution against off-the-shelf ASICs. Furthermore, the contracts should deliver increased gross margins, due to economies of scale.
On 29(th) June, the Company completed an oversubscribed IPO on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market, raising GBP15 million. The Company intends to utilise the funds to strengthen its balance sheet as well as investing significantly in marketing, branding, and ongoing R&D in new solutions. This is to meet market demand and to help secure the Company's future anticipated growth.
Since the period end, Ethernity has successfully completed proof-of-concept (POC) of integration in several customer environments for its All-Programmable Intelligent NIC. The Company performed offloading for both Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) and overlay infrastructure, all on a single low-cost FPGA device with Ethernity's patented flow processing engine. The customers successfully tested Ethernity's solutions for applications such as a virtual switch, tunnel offloading, monitoring and billing, and special telecom features, demonstrating the range of the Company's product offerings to its customers.
Outlook
The Board remains confident that Ethernity will meet its long-term objectives and will be well positioned as one of the key solutions providers in its marketplace. Network service providers are requiring more flexible solutions to their technology and network needs for offloading support of new data appliances introduced by the market. Ethernity believes it has the best-in-class system solutions to address these needs. The Company is trading in-line with its forecast and expects to meet its future targets.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the period under review, the Company delivered revenues of $988,995 and a gross profit of $857,884. The gross profit percentage of 86.7% (H1 2016: 50.6%) is significantly higher compared to H1 2016 due to the different product mix within the revenues, where design wins and royalty revenues attracts a near 100% margin. EBITDA in the first six months of the year was $441,292 (EBITDA H1 2016: $278,504).
Operating expenses (including share-based compensation costs), as a percentage of revenues, were 49.2% in H1 2017 (H1 2016: 30.5%). The increases are mainly attributable to increased spending on Marketing & Selling costs in-line with the Company's objectives and an increase in General & Administration expenses, specifically in preparation for the Company's IPO. The Company anticipates an increase in its net R&D expenses, in-line with expectation and plans, as well as Marketing and Sales expenses as it builds its teams to make the most of the opportunities in the market and to accelerate market penetration.
The loss on foreign exchange in H1 is attributable mainly to the strengthening of the Israeli Shekel by 9.1% during the period under review. Subsequent to the 30 June 2017 period, the Company realised a foreign exchange gain on the conversion of IPO funds raised from GBP to US Dollars; this is expected to significantly counteract the H1 foreign exchange loss.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $18.2 million as at 30 June 2017, following the receipt of the net proceeds of the IPO and currently the Company is trading in line with its budgeted expectations for the current year.
The table below represents the revenues by geographical locations. It confirms Ethernity's objective of increasing revenues outside of Israel as well as the effect of design wins in the Company's international markets.
Sector Analysis 2017 2017 2016 ------------------- -------- -------- Region Revenue % % --------- -------- -------- -------- Asia 20,000 2.02% 0.00% Europe 409,836 41.44% 24.53% Israel 183,509 18.56% 50.47% United States 375,650 37.98% 25.00% Total 988,995 100.00% 100.00% --------- -------- -------- --------
Whilst revenue declined in the period within the sales mix in comparison to the previous year, the comparable gross margin and net profitability on revenue for the period increased substantially. A further encouraging development in the period was the increase in revenue generated from design wins. These design wins specifically relate to the Company's new market offering and underpin the long-term revenue forecasts and outlook for the Company. This revenue has increased over the previous comparable period by almost 200%.
Gross margin strengthened due to the effects of the increased contribution from design wins, which has translated to the growth in EBITDA over the previous period. Increases in R&D, Marketing & Selling and General & Admission expenses are as budgeted and overall the Company is trading in line with expectations, with operating profit having increased by 44.1% compared to H1 2016.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
An EGM of the Shareholders of Ethernity is anticipated to be held in the near future to approve the appointment of two additional external Directors, so as to ensure compliance with Israel Companies Law 5759-1999 ("Companies Law") as noted in the Admission Document of the Company published on 29 June 2017. The Company and the Board of Directors remain committed to adhering to a high-level of corporate governance.
