InnovaDerma PLC

21 February 2019

 
                                            InnovaDerma PLC 
                              ("InnovaDerma", the "Company" or the "Group") 
                       Half Year Results for the six months ended 31 December 2018 
 
                     InnovaDerma (LSE: IDP), a UK developer of beauty, personal care 
                     and life science products, is pleased to announce its unaudited 
                        half year results for the period ended 31 December 2018. 
 
                  The Company continues to progress its strategy of bringing to market 
                 new product development, across multiple categories, which it believes 
                  will anchor the future earnings of the business. With numerous market 
                    activities and significant growth in the UK retail footprint, the 
                            Board remains confident of a strong second half. 
 
 
                                          Financial Highlights 
                         --   A modest decline in revenue of 7.48% to GBP3.9m (HY2017: 
                             GBP4.2m) as the Company responded to changes in Facebook's 
                                      advertising algorithm impacting DTC sales 
                       --   UK high street retail performed strongly with a 60% increase 
                                            on the same period last year 
                         --   Loss before tax of GBP0.4m (HY2017: GBP0.03m) driven by 
                             higher on-line marketing costs, as a result of social media 
                            developments and significant customer engagement and product 
                              development costs in readiness for product launches in H2 
                      --   Gross margin up significantly to 58.3% (HY2017: 53.2%) driven 
                                         by stronger retail sales weighting 
 
 
 
                                         Operational Highlights 
                        --   Skinny Tan revenue grew by 15.1% in the high street retail 
                              channel compared to the previous year but the DTC channel 
                             reduced by 21.4%. These issues have now been addressed and 
                             post period end we have seen significant pick up in revenue 
                                                  from the channel. 
                        --   The Roots Double Effect brand ("Roots") launched in August 
                               2017 recorded an impressive 252% in revenue growth over 
                                              the same period last year 
                      --   Charles + Lee revenue grew by 66.9% from a modest base against 
                                              the same period last year 
                        --   Significant product development has been undertaken in all 
                               three key brands to support upcoming launch initiatives 
                               in the UK retail channel along with a focus on creating 
                                            stronger customer engagement 
 
 
 
                                       Post-Period End and Outlook 
                       --   A positive start to the second half with overall group sales 
                                      for the comparable six-week period up 37% 
                        --   As a result of significant work to improve engagement and 
                            selling effectiveness, DTC recorded a 34% increase in revenue 
                             for the first six weeks in the second half compared to the 
                                                same period last year 
                        --   Planning for the Boots rollout continues as expected, with 
                              store relays being agreed and timing confirmed for launch 
                                                      in March 
                     --   Superdrug continues to engage in new product launch initiatives 
                                           post the exclusivity agreement 
                      --   Prolong is making good progress and is expected to be launched 
                             in the UK and Europe in the coming months, once regulatory 
                                               approvals are finalised 
                      --   GrowLase, a wearable FDA-cleared helmet to aid hair generation 
                             and reduce hair loss to be launched online, through retail 
                                       channels and TV Home Shopping networks 
                       --   New product extensions for Roots will be launched this half 
                                       year to maximise its growing popularity 
 
 
 
 
                        Haris Chaudhry, Executive Chairman of InnovaDerma, said: 
 
                     "We have overseen a period of significant adjustment to our DTC 
                 platform brought about by the changes within the social media platforms 
                   we advertise on. Having addressed those underlying factors, we have 
                     seen a quick response with a resulting increase in DTC revenues 
                   of 34% against the similar period last year. Our revised engagement 
                    strategy is delivering a marked improvement and we are therefore 
                  confident that the second half of the year will be disproportionally 
                     higher than in previous years. This view is also underpinned by 
                Skinny Tan which will be on shelves in 1,305 Boots stores from mid-March 
                   to capitalise on the peak selling season. Together with Superdrug, 
                    our core brand will now be available in more than 2,000 stores in 
                     the UK. Roots is performing very well and will benefit from new 
                    product development in the second half of the year. We are making 
                     excellent progress across the business and we are confident for 
                                              the future."

                                           About InnovaDerma:

                  and marketing of clinically proven products in life sciences, beauty

                                     Executive Chairman's Statement 
 
                                              Introduction 
 
                  I am pleased to report another half year of progress for InnovaDerma, 
                     one which has seen significant new product development, product 
                     launches and entry into major new retail chains including Boots 
                                               and Tesco. 
 
                   Group revenues for the period declined marginally by 7%, primarily 
                   driven by the changes within Facebook's advertising algorithm which 
                    affected the DTC revenue during the period. The Company incurred 
                     a loss before tax of GBP0.42m (HY2017: GBP0.03m) as a result of 
                  reduced DTC sales and increased on-line marketing costs. Our flagship 
                   brand Skinny Tan continues to benefit from new product development 
                   and is expected to more than double its retail footprint this year, 
               underpinning future growth. Roots, our in-house developed premium-haircare 
                 range which was launched in August 2017, performed strongly delivering 
                   revenue growth of 252% against the comparable half year. The brand 
                    is being expanded and new product lines will be introduced in the 
                                              second half. 
 
                     Charles & Lee delivered a 67% revenue growth on the same period 
                  last year and we are focused on new product development and expanding 
                     its retail footprint in the growing men's grooming and skincare 
                market. Prolong has performed strongly and is making excellent progress. 
                  This, together with the launch of GrowLase, will augment the revenue 
                           of our Life Science division and the overall Group. 
 
                    Our retail distribution will increase significantly this year and 
                    combined with the new DTC strategy and continued expansion across 
                   all brands through the introduction of exciting new product lines, 
                    we expect to deliver significant revenue growth for the financial 
                                                  year 
 
                                              Self-tanning 
 
                   The Skinny Tan brand has continued to grow steadily in the UK high 
                    street retail channel with revenue increasing by 15% compared to 
                     the same period last year. The revenue growth was predominantly 
                   driven by Superdrug despite the cessation of the exclusive selling 
                  arrangement. The DTC channel conversely has seen sales soften driven 
                     by changes in the Facebook algorithm as detailed in the January 
                     trading update. This had the dual impact of diluting the impact 
                    of marketing activity and increasing the average acquisition cost 
                   of each sale. Despite this challenge, the online customer community 
                 has continued to grow which is now well in excess of 400,000 consumers. 
                    We implemented a new DTC strategy which encompasses complimentary 
                   channels such as Instagram, Google, Ad Roll and Taboola to provide 
                us with depth and breadth of consumer engagement. The marked improvement 
                     in trading in recent weeks provides us with confidence that the 
                            strategy is effective and can be capitalised on. 
 
                    Skinny Tan has already commenced selling in Boots Online and will 
                    appear instore from mid-March. The brand is due to be in 1,305 of 
                     Boots' stores and the launch is being backed by a comprehensive 
                   digital media, PR, merchandising and promotional program. This will 
                    be reinforced with a new, innovative and exclusive product which 
                              will add value to the brand and the category. 
 
                 Superdrug has allocated 20% more shelving space to the tanning category 
                     for this season and Skinny Tan is looking to capitalise on this 
                  with an upweighted promotional program, special packs and the launch 
                                     of an additional exclusive SKU. 
 
                   New product development and innovation remains key to ensuring the 
                     Skinny Tan brand remains relevant and in pursuance of this, the 
                    Company has launched Protect & Glow, a range of sunscreens which 
                   provide a light bronzing effect in addition to sun protection. This 
                   is currently exclusive to our DTC channel and has received a strong 
                    positive response from our customer base. This is typical for the 
                  Skinny Tan model; we create awareness and demand in our DTC channel, 
                  then seek retail distribution to capitalise on the consumer interest. 
                    We will continue to make the brand relevant in the broader beauty 
                   category by delivering to a much larger target market with far less 
                                              seasonality. 
 
                    The international distribution of Skinny Tan continues to develop 
                   and we are in discussions with international retailers through our 
                   distributors in Canada. Although the self-tanning market is smaller 
                 in Europe than the UK, Skinny Tan has listings in significant retailers 
                   in Germany (Douglas) and France (Sephora). In South Africa, Skinny 
                 Tan has won 'Best Self Tanner' in the prestigious Women & Home magazine 
                    awards. The Company has also been working with the UK Department 
                    of International Trade to identify a strong distribution partner 
                for the retail channel in the US market. A number of highly credentialed 
                   candidates have been identified and we expect to move into detailed 
                             commercial negotiations over the coming months. 
 
                                                Haircare 
 
                    Roots has provided the Company with a premium brand within a very 
                   large category with global applicability. Product sales of GBP0.65m 
                  was up from GBP0.19m for the comparable period. This has been driven 
                   by the development of a strong retail footprint in Boots, Superdrug 
                                               and Tesco. 
 
                    Roots strengthened its retail position in the first half of this 
                     financial year with ranging in Tesco and completed the roll out 
                     of its first wave of new product development. This has now been 
                     established and the next set of new products are in the process 
                  of rolling out to meet the needs of specific hair types and consumers 
                 using hair colourants. This comprises the Curls shampoo and conditioner 
                   for the management of curly and wavy hair and Platinum shampoo and 
                   conditioner for bleached and light blond hair colours. The Company 
                  has already developed additional products to meet the needs of other 
                 hair types and colours to ensure it has a strong pipeline of innovation 
                                           to bring to market. 
 
                     In international markets, we are in discussion with a number of 
                  e-tailers for the US market and our Canadian distributor has secured 
                   ranging opportunities with major retailers. We are however, in the 
                 process of working through the commercial implications of high listing 
                                      fees in the Canadian market. 
 
                     Our Korean distributor is in negotiations to secure a launch on 
                  a major TV shopping channel. This route to market is very significant 
                        in Korea and has the potential to generate strong demand. 
 
                    The new distributor for the Indian market is preparing for launch 
                   and we anticipate they will place opening orders later in the year 
 
                                          Cosmetic and Skincare 
 
                    Charles + Lee has shown significant growth driven by new ranging 
                   and a highly successful Christmas gift pack promotion. The brand's 
                   revenue grew by 67% compared to the previous year and feedback from 
                   consumers has been very positive. We continue to develop the brand 
                                  and focus on new product development. 
                 The Company has focused on the Australian market in the first instance 
                    and in Myer stores (Australia's largest department store chain). 
                     This strategy has proven to be effective and Charles + Lee sold 
                   out of the gift pack promotion well before Christmas. This has been 
                  followed up with repeat orders to replenish their fixtures indicating 
                   the brand is clearly building a loyal following. Charles + Lee will 
                 shortly be on shelves in Australia's largest beauty retailer Priceline 
                    in addition to Terry White Chemmart, a retail chain in Australia, 
                     giving the brand exposure to more than 400 stores in total. The 
                     brand launched in New Zealand before Christmas in 80 stores and 
                                 performed well over the festive season. 
 
                   Our Indian distributor is enthusiastic about the prospects for the 
                   brand in the rapidly growing Indian market and we expect to launch 
                 the brand in India in this half year. In addition, initial discussions 
                are being held with UK retailers on the back of its success in Australia. 
 
                    The Company has decided to continue to defer Stevie K Cosmetics' 
                    launch on DTC and retail until we are confident that a successful 
                  launch can be monetised and generate a suitable return on investment. 
 
                                              Life Sciences 
 
                   Prolong, the world's only FDA-cleared medical device for premature 
                     ejaculation, was launched in the United States and Australia in 
                    May 2018. The launch was supported by a highly creative marketing 
                  campaign however the campaign was halted in July 18 owing to a switch 
                     defect in the initial manufactured inventory. This has now been 
                resolved with a new manufacturer onboard and the Company has recommenced 
                                         the marketing campaign. 
 
                    The relevant regulatory approvals for Prolong are being finalised 
                   and once received, we expect to launch the device in UK and Europe 
                   this year. In addition, the Company expects to have the regulatory 
                    clearances necessary to sell the products in India and China this 
                                             calendar year. 
 
                   We are in discussions with various distributors to launch GrowLase 
                   (Headmaster), a wearable FDA-cleared helmet to aid hair generation 
                   and reduce hair loss. The Company is seeking to launch the product 
                    online, through retail channels and TV Home Shopping networks. It 
                     is expected that these initiatives will serve as the bedrock to 
                   layer up multiple new revenue channels as it gradually expands the 
                   geographical footprint for these devices into new markets globally. 
 
                                       Post-Period End and Outlook 
 
                    The Company is executing on all its major planned initiatives and 
                    focussed on quality and consistency of delivery. Current trading 
                    is in line with expectations with our 1(st) six weeks trading 36% 
                    ahead of the same period last year. Our key brands are continuing 
                    to enjoy organic growth and a strong pipeline of new products to 
                                    deliver additional opportunities. 
                   The Company has initiated a New Product Development process to help 
                     identify new categories in which it believes it can compete and 
                    add value. Four sectors have been identified as having potential 
                  and initial discussions with key retailers have produced enthusiastic 
                    responses to partner with us. The gestation period is necessarily 
                  elongated but we are committed to continuing to be a brand incubator 
                                          driven by innovation. 
 
                    We have an exciting and innovative life sciences portfolio which 
                    is in early stages of revenue generation but we expect it to make 
                      a positive contribution to the Group's performance this year. 
                  In summary, the outlook for the Company is underpinned by commercial 
                     opportunities already secured and deep and strong relationships 
                    with its domestic retail partners and international distributors. 
                    This provides confidence in the short to medium term but also the 
                   longer term as we continue to deploy new product development within 
                    existing brands but also for new brands and categories currently 
                    in development. We anticipate a strong trading performance in the 
                     next four months as we get access to approximately 2,000 stores 
                    from mid-March - three times larger than last year. In addition, 
                   we have the benefit of a revitalised DTC platform and strong growth 
                    from Roots and Charles + Lee. We look forward to a record second 
                                                  half.

                                        Finance Director's Review 
 
                                                Overview 
 
                  The Group has reported a marginal decline in revenues due to changes 
                     in the DTC selling environment which impacted Skinny Tan in the 
                    UK. This was offset by Skinny Tan and Roots in retail which have 
                    performed well in the UK high street markets, despite an overall 
                    challenging retail environment. Group revenues declined 7.4% % to 
                   GBP3.9m (HY2017: GBP4.2m). The Company generated a loss before tax 
                                     of GBP0.42m (HY2017: GBP0.03m). 
 
                                            Operating Results 
 
                     Group gross margins were much improved over the period at 58.3% 
                    (HY2017: 53.3%) with the benefits of a larger retail network and 
                  diversity in product offerings. No major product launches took place 
                 in the period which has helped contribute to a more consistent product 
                                   and margin mix amongst the brands. 
 
                    Overall marketing expenditure was GBP1.1m, a significant increase 
                    to the previous period (FY2017: GBP0.7m). Significant investment 
                    was made on various social media platforms to drive sales whilst 
                   the change in sales generating algorithms by providers were altered 
                   to the detriment of the supplier. This resulted in higher marketing 
                    expense ratio to sales. Specific and identifiable expenditure was 
                     incurred on developing our on-line customer list, which grew by 
                   in excess of 10%. In line with the policy of recognising this asset 
                     and as in our full year 2018 accounts, the expenditure relating 
                   to the growth of our customer list was recognised as an intangible 
                  asset. This focused investment has driven the growth in DTC activity 
                      over the year and is an integral platform for future growth. 
 
                     The Company incurred further expenditure on product development 
                  initiatives which will support sales in H2 with Boots and Superdrug. 
                                  This was expensed during the period. 
 
              The Group has controlled wage and salary costs whilst ensuring organisational 
                    capability is enhanced. Administration expenses increased on the 
                  previous year primarily due to a slightly higher depreciation charge, 
                     higher merchant service charges and establishing the Australian 
                   Melbourne office whist in the process of closing the Sydney Office. 
 
                                                Taxation 
 
                   The Group has used the reported results to estimate the tax expense 
                    which has been reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Profit 
                     and Loss. The Group carries a Deferred Tax asset which has been 
                       calculated to reflect movements in the income tax expense. 
 
                                            Cash and net debt 
 
                 The Group carried a cash balance of GBP0.7m at the end of the reported 
                 period as against an opening balance as at the 1 July 2018 of GBP1.9m. 
                   Funds have been deployed in the continued building of the customer 
                  list and on-line marketing spend. The Company also acquired a further 
                   1% of the Skinny Tan subsidiary from the founder during the period. 
                    The Company expects a profitable and cash generative second half 
                  with discussions already underway with a major financial institution 
                    to provide global banking services and financing should funds be 
                          required to support incremental growth opportunities. 
 
                                   The Group carries no external debt. 
 
                                                Dividends 
 
                      The Board has elected not to declare a dividend at this time. 
 
                                        Responsibility statement 
 
                 The names and functions of the Directors of the Company are as follows:

                   The Board confirms that to the best of its knowledge the condensed 
                  set of financial statements gives a true and fair view of the assets 
                     and liabilities, financial position and profit of the Group and 
               has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', 
                    as adopted by the European Union and that the interim management 
                    report includes a fair review of the information required by the 
                  Disclosure and Transparency Rules as issued by the Financial Conduct 
                                           Authority, namely:

                   during the first six months of the financial year, and their impact 
                     on the condensed set of financial statements, and a description 
                  of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months

                             first six months of the current financial year. 
                                          By order of the Board 
 
 
                                                Joe Bayer 
                            Executive / Finance Director 20(th) February 2019 
 
 
                                    Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
                                                  Risks 
 
                    The Board regularly monitors exposure to key risks, such as those 
                 related to manufacturing of the product, cash position and competitive 
                  position relating to sales. It has also taken account of the economic 
                    situation over the past 12 months, and the impact that has had on 
                     costs and consumer purchases. In addition, with the uncertainty 
                     surrounding Brexit, the company has maintained a close brief on 
                  developments. The management believes that any impact on the company 
                    of Brexit is limited due to the small revenue base in Europe and 
                                   manufacturing domiciled in the UK. 
 
                    The principal risks the Company faces relate to a) the regulatory 
                   requirements in each country to which it exports and b) cash flow. 
                   If those regulations change, the Company will need to quickly adapt 
                   its strategy to ensure compliance and facilitate continuing sales. 
                     At this stage, because our key markets of Australia, US and the 
                     UK operate very stringent policies on all products, the Company 
                     does not view this as very likely to occur but have nonetheless 
                                     recognized the potential risk. 
 
                   Cashflow is another principal risk as, while the Company is in its 
                   growth phase, working capital is under demand to fund the purchase 
                    and manufacture of stock in concert with trading terms to retail 
                 buyers. The Group has alleviated this risk with recent capital raisings 
                     and stands well prepared to meet the requirements of its growth 
                                                 plans. 
 
                                            Capital structure 
 
                  As at the 31 December 2018, the ordinary share capital of InnovaDerma 
                   PLC consisted of 14,496,633 shares, with a nominal value of EUR0.10 
                    each. During the reported period the Group acquired a holding of 
                  1% of the shares of its subsidiary Skinny Tan Pty Ltd from a founding 
                   shareholder. This takes the holding in that entity from 93% to 94%.

Notes to the unaudited interim financial report

   1.   Basis of preparation 

The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 and for the twelve months ended 30 June 2018 do not constitute statutory accounts for the purposes of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The 31 December 2018 statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 20(th) February 2019. This unaudited interim report has not been audited or reviewed by auditors pursuant to the Financial Reporting Council guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

The condensed financial statements in this Interim Report have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.

As required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared by applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30(th) June 2018, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2018 and the comparative figures for the six months ended 31 December 2017 are unaudited. The figures for the year ended 30 June 2018 have been extracted from the Annual Report on which the Auditors issued an unqualified audit report and which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
