Interim Results

Inspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM: IHC), the global medical device company, today announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 July 2018 ("H1 2018/19").

Highlights:

   --      Revenue up 3% to GBP7.4m in line with our expectations (H1 2017/18: GBP7.2m) 
   --      Revenue grew both domestically (2%) and internationally (4%) 
   --      First sales recorded of redeveloped Patient Warming System 
   --      First sales of new Unique+ CFM and LifeStart 
   --      EBITDA up by 9% to GBP0.7m (H1 2017/18: GBP0.6m) 
   --      Operating profit GBP0.5m (H1 2017/18: GBP0.5m) 
   --      Cash remains strong ending the half year at GBP2.4m; a net inflow of GBP0.3m in the period 
   --      Outlook unchanged with growth expected in H2 

Neil Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, said today:

"From the difficult start to the year caused by the delays in receiving the necessary approvals for our own developed products, I am pleased to report that we are getting back on track with the first sales of the newly developed patient warming system achieved and expect that these sales will increase as we obtain further registrations in other markets.

Despite the slower than expected start of our Own Branded Products, I am also pleased that we have increased revenues domestically and internationally and achieved a 9% increase in EBITDA largely through the prudent management of resources. To some degree, this shows the resilience of the Group's product mix and operating structure and its ability to adapt to external conditions which are not in its control.

We continue have a strong cash position and are well placed for the rest of the year."

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to confirm that the Group continued to trade in line with our expectations as set out in our AGM Statement of 15 June 2018. Revenue for the first half of the financial year was up 3% on the equivalent period last year.

As we announced in our AGM Statement our plans to launch new products in the current financial year have been frustrated by the significant delays we experienced in obtaining an updated Quality Management System certificate and a CE Mark approval for our redeveloped Patient Warming System from our Notified Body. Shortly before the AGM, and much later than we expected, we received these two certificates and are now pleased to report that we have completed the first sales of the redeveloped Patient Warming System in July with further sales expected in the second half.

The delay in obtaining the necessary approvals meant that product registrations commenced later than planned and this had the effect of reducing the proportion of our Own Branded Product revenues. However, this was offset by stronger revenues from our Home Healthcare sector (up 17%), meaning the proportion of revenue generated from Distributed Products increased to 43% (FY 2017/18: 42%).

This demonstrates the Group's ability to balance revenues by focusing on different sectors of the business to adapt to the external conditions. We expect the mix to move back towards Own Branded Products in the second half and to see a gradual margin improvement. Additionally, we expect to realise the benefits from last year's investment in management and regulatory resources.

Financial Review

Revenue for the six months to 31 July 2018 was GBP7.4 million (2017/18: GBP7.2 million), an increase of 3% over the equivalent period for the previous year.

EBITDA improved by 9% year on year to GBP0.7m as a result of growing gross profit and limiting the increase in cash-based overheads. Operating Profit for the period at GBP0.5m was in line with the same period last year.

Revenue from our Own Brand Products at GBP3.2m was lower than the first half of last year (H12017/18: GBP3.5m) due to delayed product releases leading to the proportion of revenue generated from these products reducing marginally to 44% of total revenue (FY2017/18: 45%). Revenue from our Distributed Products was up by 20% to GBP3.2m, with particularly good sales in Home Healthcare.

Despite the increase in mix towards Distributor Product revenue, gross margin at 45% was in line with H1 2017/18.

Underlying cash-based overhead increases were limited to 2.1% with the full impact of last year's investment in management and resources replacing the GBP0.1m one-time regulatory costs incurred in H1 2017/18. Investment in R&D (combined capitalised and expensed) amounted to approximately 4.2% of revenue in the first half, lower than recent periods due to the time taken to achieve regulatory clearances. We expect total spend on R&D to increase in the second half.

Profit after tax for the six months to 31 July 2018 at GBP0.4m was slightly down on the same period last year due to a small increase in the tax charge arising from lower relief on the reduced R&D spend referred to above.

The resulting diluted earnings per share was 1.4p for H1 2018/19 (H1 2017/18: 1.5p).

Cash at 31 July 2018 was GBP2.4 million, a net inflow of GBP0.3m. Trade receivables and trade payables are higher due a back-to-back supply facility provided to a third-party medical device company.

Operational Review

Both Domestic and International revenue grew, by 2% and 4% respectively. With the launch of our redeveloped Patient Warming System we can push ahead to establishing strong relationships with our network of international distributors in this field, whilst progressing the registration of this device for the US market which we expect to achieve during the next financial year.

We have continued to look for novel products to distribute and are pleased to have launched the ClampCut device from Price Invena of Denmark. The ClampCut is a single use device for cutting and clamping the umbilical cord and compliments Inspiration's own products, LifeStart and Inspire rPAP, which are used in the delivery room.

As with many companies operating in Europe, we continue to monitor the potential impact of Brexit. Clearly uncertainty remains about the future relationship between the UK and the EU and we will continue to explore all options to mitigate the potential effect that this may have on trading.

We are pleased to announce that Nigel Weston has joined the company as Head of Operations and a member of our senior management team, showing our commitment to continue to invest in our people and resources to underpin our growth strategy. Nigel brings a wealth of supply chain experience from both within the healthcare sector and other industries and will head up our operations function at our Earl Shilton facility. Nigel will report to Neil Campbell, CEO.

Market Review

Due to the factors outlined above our Critical Care revenue was flat year on year at GBP5.1m and Operating Theatre revenue was down 3% to GBP0.8m. However, performance in the Home Healthcare sector was able to offset these impacts reporting growth of 17% to GBP1.5m.

Investment in Neuroprotexeon

In June it was announced by Neuroprotexeon Limited ("NPXe"), a company in which Inspiration Healthcare holds 10% of the current issued share capital (or 8.6% diluted for options in existence at the time of the announcement), that NPXe confirmed that it was seeking to complete an IPO on AIM in the second half of 2018. We continue to monitor the situation with interest and will update shareholders accordingly.

Outlook

The last eighteen months have been characterised by industry wide delays in regulatory approvals. As previously indicated, we are just starting to turn these additional compliance requirements to our advantage as sales of newly approved products gather momentum.

As we enter the second half, we are encouraged by the take up of these new products and expect them to create a basis for growth over the next two years. This growth has been anticipated and we continue to expect the year's performance to be second half weighted. Therefore our overall expectations for the financial year remain unchanged.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 31 July 2018 have been prepared in accordance with AIM rule 18 in relation to half year reports. This information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

   2.          Going concern basis 

The Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash resources. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated interim financial statements.

   3.          Interim financial information 

The interim financial information for the period ended 31 July 2018 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial information for the period ended 31 July 2017 is also unaudited. The audited accounts for the year ended 31 January 2018 for Inspiration Healthcare Group plc were approved by its Board of Directors on 23 April 2018 and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies with an unqualified audit report.

The Company's annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2018 were prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The standards used are those published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the EU at the time of preparing those statements.

The following standards have been adopted for the first time in the current financial year.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 (effective 1 January 2018) addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities and replaces IAS 39. The implementation of IFRS 9 has not had a material impact on the interim financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 (effective 1 January 2018) deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. The implementation of IFRS 15 has not had a material impact on the interim financial statements.

   4.          Taxation 

A provision has been made for corporation tax at the rate of 19% on the estimated taxable profits for the period.

   5.                Dividends Paid 

There are no immediate plans to pay dividends for Inspiration Healthcare Group plc.

   6.                 Earnings per ordinary share 

Basic earnings per share for the period is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year after tax by the weighted average number of shares in issue.

Basic diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.

The calculation of earnings per ordinary share is based on a profit of GBP434k (31 July 2017: GBP461k and 31 January 2018: 1,223k)
