HALF-YEAR REPORT
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2019
OUR GROWTH STRATEGY
During 2019, the Group has made major progress on all our strategic imperatives
-- Sales Growth -- Cost Improvement -- Cash Generation, -- IT Development and, -- People.
Sales Growth
Reconfigured our business into two focused segments that give greater potential to exploit the concentrated product knowledge and technical skills - Components and Services.
In July 2019, Ian Simpson was appointed Divisional Director within the Components segment. Since joining the Group in February 2016, Ian has proven his capability to grow sales by exploiting the Group's wider resources and he will now look to apply his knowledge across a much larger part of the Group's activities. In March 2019, Jon Burke took overall responsibility for Services and is now working to co-ordinate all sales and operational matters across the various businesses within the division.
Cost Improvement
The Executive Team have completed a Group-wide review of operational resources and productivity. Our concentration now is to develop a plan to harness the benefits of the many areas of potential improvements identified. We expect that most of the work and the associated savings will be completed by the end of 2020. Action has already commenced with the integration of TSL Fluidpower and the UK
operations of Hi-Power into our Knowsley site.
We also believe that there are major opportunities in our supply chain to reduce cost, rationalise range and reduce inventory. We have therefore appointed John Farmer into a new role of Group Commercial Director. John has most recently acted as Managing Director for our largest subsidiary Flowtechnology UK. and is now actively co-ordinating our supply strategy and building on the huge steps forward we have taken in extracting procurement data, a significant by-product of our IT and central services investment in creating a network of common accounting and management information systems.
Cash Generation
The Group has clearly designated leadership roles in efficient debt collection and agreed supplier term expansion. This is coupled with an invigorated culture at Profit Centre level towards effective inventory management practices backed up by our return-on-capital based Profit Share scheme. An initial positive step is highlighted by the significant improvement in cash generation compared to H1 2018 as detailed in the following financial section.
IT Development
In conjunction with our operational review, we have reviewed our long-term IT strategy and we now believe that we can move towards an optimised position in the medium term without the need for enterprise-wide IT change. This will be achieved by focusing on only three providers, backed up by a cloud-based hardware solution that was successfully established in May 2019.
The Group has long been a leading player in the use of digital capabilities to improve efficiency for itself and its customers, and in our core 'master' distribution operations as high as 70% of sales are transacted via e-commerce platforms. However, embracing digital marketplaces is essential for any progressive industrial distributor and we are committed to pursuing best practice. As a forerunner to a plan to develop our entire operation in this area, the Group established an online presence in Flowtechnology World in March 2019 (www.flowtechnologyworld.com) and this is already giving us cross-border selling opportunities from our existing product range. Beyond this, our market penetration and premium position with the leading global suppliers means we are well placed to develop from this e-commerce platform into a fully fledged E-Business operation and place us at the forefront of the sector.
People
In addition to the senior appointments described above, we are committed to training and development with several initiatives implemented in the period in leadership, sales training, technical and employee engagement. We have also established a Group central services team and facility in South Manchester and invested in the necessary skills in Accounting, Credit Management, IT Operations and Project Management to ensure we have the best platform to support the business both now and for future growth. This investment has increased costs in the short term but has been part funded by reduced costs at local level, and we are convinced has given us the correct stable position from which to move forward.

OUR STRUCTURE
Flowtech Fluidpower is a full-service provider of fluid power. In 2018 we
operated across three divisions. In 2019, Flowtech Fluidpower moved to a
two-division structure to more clearly define its business under the broad
categories of:
Ø COMPONENTS - the supply of both hydraulic and pneumatic consumables,
predominantly through distribution for maintenance and repair operations
across all industry markets but supported by supply agreements direct to
a broad range of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Consistent operational
high margin revenue.
Ø SERVICES - the bespoke design, manufacturing, commissioning, installation
and servicing of systems to manufacturers of specialised industrial and
mobile hydraulic OEMs and, additionally a wide range of industrial end users.
REVENUE
Revenue increased by 5.7%. Organic growth was 2.9% with the balance resulting
from a full contribution from the Balu businesses which were acquired in
March 2018. Our Components division which accounts for c84% of Group revenue
grew by 6.3% (organic growth of 3.2%) whilst the Services division grew
by 1.9% (all organic).
Gross profit margins
Our gross margin can vary from period to period dependent on market conditions
and mix of sales. In the period under review our gross margin percentage
increased from 34.3% to 35.6%. Margins within our Components division have
benefitted from the impact the Balu acquisition in March 2018 has had throughout
H1 2019. Margins in our Services division tend to be more variable dependent
on the extent of labour involved in value-add activities.
OPERATING Costs
In the first half of the year our underlying cost base can be analysed as
follows:

------------------------------- ------------ -------------- -------------
*before separately disclosed items
Distribution expenses are primarily costs paid to the various parcel and
pallet carriers. While turnover has increased by 5.7% the increase in distribution
costs has been restricted to 2.3%.
Administrative costs at divisional level represent the operational infrastructure
to run the Group's trading activities across 29 sites in the UK, Ireland
and the Netherlands. The impact of the Balu acquisition has added cGBP0.5m
of costs, meaning there has been minimal movement in other divisional costs;
this reflects a movement of certain costs (cGBP0.2m) from Divisional to
Central offsetting a small element of inflationary increase.
Central costs comprise those relating to executive management, finance,
business process/audit functions as well as the costs associated with running
the plc. The investments made have been in a wide range of areas including:
* Tailored programmes designed with third party
providers to develop the skills of our current and
future business leaders at profit centre and
divisional and central management levels;
* Investment in technology to provide ever-improving
platforms of information, to gain commercial leverage
and a transition to common IT systems on a sensibly
phased basis across all parts of our business;
* To provide defence mechanisms to the ever-increasing
threat of Cyber-attacks;
* Enhancing our Business Process and Audit functions to
ensure we have the ability to effectively deliver
change programmes and to ensure compliance with
important internal processes and controls.
We strongly believe this sees us well-placed to control the business we
have today, as well as being able to fully capitalise on opportunities to
grow the business in the future. In particular we feel we have a much more
resilient framework and ability to effectively implement change within our
business.
UNDERLYING OPERATING PROFIT
The Components Division continues to deliver a strong underlying operating
margin prior to central costs of 15.9% (H1 2018: 14.0%). Of the GBP1.2m
increase, GBP0.4m relates to Beaumanor and Derek Lane (acquired in March
2018) which have contributed throughout H1 2019 as opposed to only part
of the comparative period. Prior to allocation of central costs, the combined
underlying operating profit of these businesses in H1 2019 was GBP0.9m,
and in the 12 months to 30 June GBP1.6m.
The less working capital-intensive Services division has delivered a modest
underlying operating margin of 2.5% (H1 2018: 2.5%).
FINANCIAL POSITION INCLUDING CASH FLOW AND BANK DEBT
On a like for like basis (i.e. discounting for the impact of IFRS16) we
generated GBP4.9m, from operating activities in H1 2019; this compares favourably
to an absorption of GBP1.8m in H1 2018 and reflects the focus all areas
of the business have, and will continue to apply, to working capital management.
Bank debt reduced by GBP1.1m in H1 2019. This was achieved after paying
cGBP1.6m relating to contingent consideration in respect of historic acquisition
activity. The overall GBP2.7m reduction in aggregate debt compares favourably
to a GBP3.0m increase in the comparative H1 2018 period.
2019 has seen the introduction of a new International Financial Reporting
Standard, IFRS16, which provides guidance for accounting for leases. This
has led to us recognising GBP8.8m of additional assets in our balance sheet
and an equivalent liability in respect of the aggregate obligations under
these leases. The adoption of the standard reduces our profit by GBP67k.
EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVID
In the first half, earnings per share was 5.00p, compared to 5.78p in 2018.
Given the positive progress being made with cash generation across the Group
the Board is again pleased to confirm a 5% increase in our half-year dividend
to 2.13p (2018: 2.03p), This interim dividend will be paid on 29 October
2019, to members on the Register at close of business on 4 October 2019.
The shares will become ex-dividend on 3 October 2019.
OUTLOOK
With great progress being made in our strategic objectives, the Board remains
confident in the outlook for the Group as we seek to improve our complementary
revenue streams in Components and Services. This confidence is reflected
in our continuing attitude towards dividend growth.
However, after a prolonged period of solid organic growth across the Group,
Brexit induced nervousness in the UK and Ireland is impacting our markets
and over the summer months we have experienced a period of reduced sales
activity. Whilst our heavy bias towards servicing Maintenance, Repair and
Overhaul markets gives us natural defences against significant setbacks,
our view is that a return to organic growth will be suppressed until the
political situation is resolved. We expect little or no sales growth for
the remainder of 2019 and on this basis, we advise that the likely 2019
out-turn for profit before tax will be in the range of GBP10.8m to GBP11.2m.
The Board also believes that current conditions are likely to persist well
into 2020 before returning to long-term growth trends. As a result, we expect
revenue growth to be suppressed relative to previous expectations. We are
focused on controlling what we can control and are actioning the cost improvement
initiatives described above. Accordingly, we hope to significantly mitigate
the effect of reduced revenue growth on adjusted profit before tax in 2020.
We anticipate cash conversion to continue to improve as working capital
is reduced. This will offset any cash costs associated with our cost reduction
initiatives. Further detail will be available as we make progress, and by
the time of our trading updates in October 2019 and January 2020.

2. aCCOUNTING POLICIES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial information set out in this consolidated Half-year Report
has been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as adopted by the European Union and in accordance with the accounting
policies which will be adopted in presenting the Group's Annual Report
and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. These are
consistent with the accounting policies used in the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2018, except that IFRS 16 Leases became
effective on 1 January 2019.
2.2 New and amended standards adopted by the Group
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current
reporting period, and the Group had to change its accounting policies as
a result of adopting IFRS 16.
The impact of the adoption of the leasing standard and the new accounting
policies are disclosed below. The other standards did not have any impact
on the Group's accounting policies and did not require retrospective adjustments.
2.3 Changes in accounting policies
This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the Group's
financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have
been applied from 1 January 2019
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 retrospectively from 1 January ,2019, but
has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted
under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications
and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised
in the opening balance sheet on 1 January 2019.
2.4 Adjustments recognised on adoption of IFRS 16
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation
to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under
the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the
present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group's
incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The weighted average incremental
borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 was 3.2%.
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following
practical expedients permitted by the standard:
-- the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably
similar characteristics;
-- reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous;
-- the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less
than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short term leases;
-- the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use
asset at the date of initial application; and
-- the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract
contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains
a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered
into before the transition date the Group relied on its assessment made
applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains
a Lease.

Of which are:
- Current lease liabilities 1,376
- Non-current lease liabilities 7,661

---------
The associated right-of-use assets for property leases and other assets
were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the
amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease
recognised in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2018. There were no onerous
lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use
assets at the date of initial application.
The recognised right-of-use assets relate to the following types of assets:

Land and building 8,211 8,332
Others 541 705
-------- ----------
Total right-of-use assets 8,752 9,037

The net impact on retained earnings on 1 January 2019 was nil.
Earnings per share reduced by 11 pence per share for the six months to
30 June 2019 as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16.
2.6 Going concern
The Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its
bank facilities. The Directors have carefully considered the banking facilities
and their future covenant compliance considering the current and future
cash flow forecasts and they believe that the Group is appropriately positioned
to ensure the conditions of its funding will continue to be met and therefore
enable the Group to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment.
3. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group comprises the following two operating segments which are defined
by trading activity:
* Components - Supply of hydraulic and pneumatic
consumables, predominantly through distribution for
urgent maintenance and repair operations across all
industry sectors. Additionally, support a broad range
of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) supplying
off-the-shelf and tailored components and assemblies.
* Services - Bespoke design, manufacturing,
commissioning, installation and servicing of systems
to manufacturers of specialised industrial and mobile
hydraulic OEMs and additionally a wide range of
industrial end users.
The Board is the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM manages
the business using an underlying profit figure. Only finance income and
costs secured on the assets of the operating segment are included in the
segment results. Finance income and costs relating to loans held by the
Company are not included in the segment result that is assessed by the
CODM. Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length
basis.
The Directors believe that the underlying operating profit provides additional
useful information on key performance trends to Shareholders. The term
"underlying" is not a defined term under IFRS and may not be comparable
with similarly titled profit measurements reported by other companies.
A reconciliation of the underlying operating result to operating profit
/ (loss) from continuing operations is shown below. The principal adjustments
made are in respect of the separately disclosed items and are as detailed
at the end of this note. Segment information for the reporting periods
is as follows:

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the earnings/(loss)
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
For diluted earnings/ (loss) per share the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares. The dilutive shares are those share options granted to
employees where the exercise price is less than the average market price
of the Company's ordinary shares during the period.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In common with all organisations, Flowtech faces risks which may affect its performance. The Group operates a system of internal control and risk management to provide assurance that we are managing risk whilst achieving our business objectives. No system can fully eliminate risk and therefore the understanding of operational risk is central to management processes. The long-term success of the Group depends on the continual review, assessment and control of the key business risks it faces. The Directors set out in the 2018 Annual Report and Financial Statements the principal risks identified during this exercise, including quality control, systems and site disruption and employee retention. The Board does not consider that these risks have changed materially in the last six months. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This document contains certain forward-looking statements which reflect the knowledge and information available to the Company during the preparation and up to the publication of this document. By their very nature, these statements depend upon circumstances and relate to events that may occur in the future thereby involving a degree of uncertainty. Although the Group believes that the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct. Given that these statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The Group undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
