       up 23.0%

 --   Revenue up 24.0% to $152.0m (H1 2022: $122.6m), Service Revenue

Operational Highlights : Continued focus on higher margin work and success in business growth from new and existing customers, innovating to deliver deeper and broader propositions to service evolving customer needs through technology-led solutions

   --    Business Process Outsource ("BPO"): 

o Strong revenue growth in H1 2023 of 30.6% to $109.0m (H1 2022: $83.5m) with an impressive EBITDA margin of 39% or $42.9m (H1 2022: $33.7m), which was attributable to growth in business across different verticals, particularly from International BPO customers.

o Focused on the new fast growth technology areas of content moderation and data tagging for Artificial Intelligence ("AI") / Machine Learning ("ML") applications, which are emerging as significant growth opportunities. The Group plans to invest in promoting its new-age technology-driven digital customer experience ("CX") service offerings.

o Robust outsourcing demand amidst inflationary pressures and BPO's outsized exposure to fast-growing markets of Media & Entertainment, BFSI and telecommunications, resulted in steady and strong revenue growth during H1 2023.

o Continued to add new customers and maintained growth in recurring revenue streams from long-term customer relationships across all verticals, focussing on faster growth, higher margin verticals, upselling additional more complex services and deploying technology to drive productivity.

   --    Content Division: 

o Achieved service revenue growth of 6.2% to $40.2m in H1 2023 (H1 2022: $37.8m), as business from key clients, specifically from Financial Reporting and Compliance services, increased. EBITDA margins maintained at around 28% at $11.5m (H1 2022: $10.7m) owing to cost effectiveness and efficiencies delivered through technology.

o Content Services' US based sales team continues to focus on cross-selling and securing business leads from new and existing customers for fast growth technology services, including:

 
            --              Digital Training and Education. 
            --              SAAS services for propositions including Technology 
                             Tools such as SciPris and PXE5. 
            --              Providing immersive content for learners (specifically 
                             middle to high school), partnering with EdTech groups 
                             with select revenue share models. 
 
   --    New business initiatives: 

o iEnergizer is well positioned to take advantage of industry tailwinds in highly profitable verticals, due to: the scalability & breadth of its BPO services; increasing adoption of fast-growing technology; the end-to-end proposition of Content Services; and iEnergizer's highly trained workforce.

o Content Moderation is witnessing high growth on the back of rising digital adoption. Rapid growth in online-first schools is driving demand for digital content. Education and corporate sectors are increasing Learning & Development spend. Major corporate businesses have identified the cost and time savings of replacing classroom training with virtual training.

o Development of regulatory training services, targeting the Group's existing customer base to promote compliance and e-Learning capabilities, focussed on the American Disability Act and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

o The US based sales team continues to focus on selling additional services, specifically in data tagging for AI/ML applications, Content Moderation and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, to capture new market place opportunities, while working on its strategic priorities: to enhance and grow key accounts; to identify and win new business through new customers; as well as to target existing accounts; and to cross-sell and generate leads for new product launches.

   --    Cost management : 

o Continues to manage increased proportion of division-specific higher margin international work, particularly in non-voice-based processes including: entertainment gaming support; BFSI; content technology; and E-Learning.

o Achieved cost savings through effective use of resources and productivity improvements, even as more employees moved to work from office, on a routine basis during H1 2023.

   --    Interim Dividend: 

o In-line with its progressive dividend policy, the Company is pleased to announce an interim dividend of 11.07p with the dividend record date of 25 November 2022. This interim dividend reflects the Board's confidence in the Group's business plan and growth prospects.

o The Company's ordinary shares are expected to go ex-dividend on 24 November 2022 and the interim dividend is expected to be paid on 21 December 2022.

   --    Outlook: 

o The Board is delighted with the Group's strategic progress during H1 and the delivery of further organic momentum and margin improvements. While we recognise the macro uncertainty, we are optimistic for the remainder of FY23, in particular due to ongoing inflationary pressures which continues to drive multinationals to focus not only on cost reduction but also revenue retention. Overall, new customer contract wins, reoccurring and repeat nature of busines s and improved margins give the Board confidence in the future outlook for the Company and underpin the expectations for FY23.

o Looking further ahead, with iEnergizer's solid foundations; its proven strength in operational execution and healthy balance sheet; our differentiated offerings, successful new sales initiatives, and substantial opportunities for further growth identified, we expect a continued strong momentum across the Group.

Marc Vassanelli, Chairman of iEnergizer, commented:

" We are delighted to report another strong performance by iEnergizer, with highly profitable growth in revenue and profit margins, which exceeded our expectations for H1 2023. This has been driven by ongoing innovations that ensure iEnergizer continues to offer a market-leading proposition that enables our dedicated colleagues to deepen existing customer relationships and attract new customers for our service lines, combined with active cost management.

"Reflecting the Group's strong balance sheet and the cash generative nature of the business, we are pleased to announce an interim dividend of 11.07p, in continuation with our approach since H1 2020.

"With iEnergizer's solid foundations; its proven strength in operational execution and healthy balance sheet; our differentiated offerings, successful new sales initiatives, and substantial opportunities for further growth identified, we expect a continued strong momentum across the Group."

12. SEGMENT REPORTING

Management currently identifies the Group's two service lines business process outsource and content delivery as operating segments on the basis of operations. These operating segments are monitored and operating and strategic decisions are made on the basis of operating segment results.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by reportable segments. The Group's reportable segments are as follows:

   1.    Business Process Outsource 
   2.    Content delivery 

The measurement of each segment's revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements . Segment information can be analysed as follows for the reporting periods under review:

These non-current financial assets and liabilities, current financial assets and liabilities have been recorded at their respective carrying amounts as the management considers the fair values to be not materially different from their carrying amounts recognised in the statement of financial positions as these are expected to realise within one year from the reporting dates. Derivative financial instruments, recorded at fair value through profit and loss, are recorded at their respective fair values on the reporting dates.

14. FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

No financial assets/liabilities have been valued using level 1 and 3 fair value measurements.

The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The preparation of interim financial statements require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 March 2022 and 2021.

17. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 March 2022 and 2021.
