Operational Highlights

Continued focus on higher margin work and succeeding in securing further work with existing and new blue-chip customers, supported by new product launches in prior period,

   --     Services: Revenue growth of 9.5% to $82.4m (H1 2018 $75.2) 

-- Business Process Outsource ("BPO"): Strong revenue growth of over 18% outperforming expectations as key customers continued to increase workload volumes. The focus remains on recurring revenue streams from long-term customer relationships across all verticals. The division has added several new blue chip customers in gaming and ecommerce verticals adding to overall growth

-- Content Division: Sustainable long term growth prospects for content services with key focus on new markets within E Learning and Education sectors:

o After successful launch of new product line OTS (Off-The-Shelf) during H2 of 2018, more deals are under negotiation with new customers for development of courseware or LMS (Learning Management System) in Education sector.

o Growing its customer base in the product line launched in H1 of 2018 on Scientific Publishing and Remittance Integration Services ("SciPris") through ongoing negotiations with the existing and new customers within the publishing vertical.

o Steady work streams maintained from core customers despite structural pressures in the traditional publishing market. Revenue from services in content division has been at stable $34.3m in H1 2019 (H1 2018 $34.5m) through maintenance of cost effective service solutions for existing customers.

   --     Focused cost saving initiatives: 

o Improved overall efficiencies and minimised operational costs in the BPO division by switching from an outsourcing model to in-house delivery

o Increased proportion of division-specific higher margin work, particularly in non-voice based processes including content writing, financials, entertainment gaming support, content technology and digital solutions

o Effective use of technology to enable leaner operations, to handle greater volumes from key customers without notable additional human resource

-- US based sales team continued to focus on its three clear, concise strategies: to enhance and grow key accounts; to identify and win new business through new customers as well as target our existing accounts; and to cross-sell and generate leads for additional services.

-- The Company is pleased to announce that a number of offers have been received to refinance the Company's existing term loan on the back of our strong cash generation. Subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence and the signing of one of these offers, the Board is very pleased to inform the market of its intention to return to the dividend list.

Marc Vassanelli, Chairman of iEnergizer, commented:

"We are pleased to report another strong performance by iEnergizer, demonstrating sustained increases in revenue and profit and further improvements in profit margin.

"This performance reflects the significant progress being made by colleagues across the Company, as we continue to focus on recurring revenue streams, as well as effectively offsetting pressure in the traditional publishing sector by capitalizing on our advantageous position to service existing and new customers' needs in the evolving digital technology landscape.

"The Company's healthy cash position, together with its cash generative business model, puts iEnergizer in a strong position to invest in both organic and inorganic growth opportunities in the periods ahead.

"We expect sustained business performance through the second half of the year and the Board looks forward to the remainder of the year with confidence."

   2.   GENERAL INFORMATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS 

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2018 and 2017. They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as developed and published by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'), on a going concern basis. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2018 and 2017.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared and presented in United States Dollar (US$) which is the Company's functional currency.

   3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group's most recent annual financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2018 and 2017.

Standards issued but not yet effective

   --     IFRS 16 Leases 

On 13 January 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board issued the final version of IFRS 16, Leases. IFRS 16 will replace the existing leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. The effective date for adoption of IFRS 16 is annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, though early adoption is permitted for companies applying IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

   4.   SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY 

When preparing the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

Management currently identifies the Group's two service lines business process outsourcing 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 Outsourcing 
   2.    Content delivery 
   3.    Others 

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. In addition, two minor operating segments, for which the quantitative thresholds have not been met, are currently combined below under 'Others'. 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.

13. 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:

16. 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 2018 and 2017.
