Commenting on the results, CEO of KRM22, Stephen Casner, said:

"Our success in the first half of the year has been driven by the five key initiatives that we defined at the start of the year. These initiatives have seen an increase in ARR, a reduction in the level of customer churn and an improvement in the underlying processes that will support KRM22's continued growth.

There is no doubt that the Company needs to continue to improve performance to achieve profitability and produce positive cash flow. We strongly believe that if we continue to repeat the success we demonstrated in H1 2022, we have the right products, distribution, talent and sufficient capital to get there."

CEO'S REPORT

Pursuant to an equity investment and entering a product distribution agreement with Trading Technologies International, Inc ("TT") at the end of 2021, the Company defined five key initiatives to embark on during the Period. The initiatives include generating revenue from the TT relationship, growing the Company's ARR, reduce the level of customer churn as experienced in the previous two years, improving the success and adoption of the Risk Cockpit, and reorganising the workforce to help grow the business and support the other initiatives.

I am pleased to report the Company found success in each endeavour.

The amount of ARR KRM22 has under contract has increased, the relationships KRM22 has with its customers has improved and the Company has been positioned for significant growth through our new direct sales team and the addition of the TT sales team as a new sales channel.

As you review the progress made in the period, I would like to highlight how we stand on the key initiatives we embarked on at the start of 2022.

Creating revenue from TT's customer base

Our relationship with TT has been one of the primary keys to our success this year. We signed our first sales contract from the TT sales channel in June. This contract allows us to leverage our Pre-Trade Limit Manager product to be used as a custom limit system for a major European commodity exchange. This three-year contract provides GBP0.1m of ARR and GBP0.2m of non-recurring implementation revenue to KRM22.

We announced in March two key products that TT will distribute for KRM22. A major component of the announcement was that these products would operate on TT's technical platform. This allows TT customers to contract for the KRM22 services under their existing TT license agreement conforming to technical audits and without migrating data to a different environment. We jointly decided to make this investment to reduce the amount of "friction" TT would experience in selling KRM22's products.

This is a direct response to how our core market has changed the way they acquire software products, allowing them to test and use the applications before making a financial commitment.

We are impressed with how KRM22 and TT worked collaboratively on our first product. By the end of June, we had successfully integrated KRM22's Limits Manager onto the TT platform. This allowed us to commence TT's sales campaign for KRM22's Limits Manager in August.

While these initiatives are a work in progress, and it is unclear exactly how and when revenue acceleration will materialise, both TT and KRM22 strongly believe that we are on the right path for success. We believe so strongly in this process that both companies are investing in delivering a second risk product, KRM22 Risk Manager, to the TT customer base. This product is currently being co-implemented by KRM22 and TT and we anticipate deployment to be completed before the end of 2022 with revenue expected to follow in 2023.

Revenue growth

While our relationship with TT is important, we also must prove that we can directly sell our products to new customers and expand the use of our products by our existing customers. I am pleased to report our 2022 selling initiatives have been successful and our new sales team is being led by the Company's Chief Revenue Officer, Billy Murray.

As of the date of this report, our ARR is GBP4.4m, having signed 16 new contracts totaling GBP0.9m - eight with new customers, including a Tier One bank, and eight with existing customers for new products and extensions of existing products. Pleasingly, the total new contracted ARR in 2022 so far is higher than the total amount of new contracted ARR the Company signed in all of 2021 demonstrating good traction and the effective new approach to direct sales.

One disappointment in the period is that whilst we have had strong performance generating new contractual ARR, we have been less successful in delivering non-recurring revenue ("NRR") which would have improved the underlying Adjusted EBITDA loss for H1 2022.

We are currently seeing a turnaround in contracted NRR with approximately GBP0.4m of contracted NRR that will be delivered in the second half of 2022 and this, combined with continued growth in ARR, will eventually decrease the underlying Adjusted EBITDA loss as we drive towards profitability.

Retention of Customers

The level of customer attrition the Company experienced in prior years, with total churn of GBP1.4m notified to us in 2021, was debilitating and is not sustainable for the Company to succeed.

Thus, we embarked upon a defined customer retention plan led by our Customer Services team which resulted in the prevention of "surprise" churn in the customer base in H1 2022. In the year to date we have only had one customer contract, with GBP0.1m ARR, that we did not anticipate terminating and this was a Belarusian customer with the termination driven by the Russia/Ukraine geopolitical crisis.

A highlight of our retention plan in H1 2022 included the roll out of a series of "KRM22 health dashboards" to our customers. This initiative highlights how many transactions we process for our customers each day, gives our customers a direct and instantaneous view of open and closed support tickets as well as the availability of future product updates and associated new features and functions. These dashboards, in combination with our monthly newsletter program, has significantly extended our daily customer touch points and has improved the value we deliver to each of our customers every day.

Another key part of our customer retention plan is to deliver the integrated benefit of KRM22's Global Risk Platform to our Showcase Global Risk Platform Customer, and we delivered excellent progress in the period. The Global Risk Platform is now fully operational for Market and Compliance risk at our Showcase Global Risk Platform Customer and we began the implementation of our Risk Cockpit product for this customer in H1 2022.

This means that by the end of 2022, we will have a major UK customer operating a true "end-to-end" risk platform for Market, Compliance and Enterprise Risk using common data services on our Global Risk Platform. We believe once this customer is fully operational, we will be able to convince the customers we acquired through the Ancoa, Prime Analytics and Object + acquisitions, to migrate to this next generation SaaS platform.

Making the Risk Cockpit successful

We know that having a corporate risk tool is a unique compliment to the Market Risk and Compliance Risk tools we have been successfully selling to new customers.

We have been disappointed in the rate of adoption of the Risk Cockpit product since the product was developed and launched in 2019. We have created a new plan with new resources to help us make that change. The results of our efforts are just beginning to come to fruition.

This new plan, in conjunction with the continued success of the deployment of our Risk Cockpit for our Showcase Global Risk Platform Customer has renewed our commitment to this product and will allow us to differentiate our Global Risk Platform from our competitors in market.

Reorganise the workforce

At the start of 2022, and following my appointment as CEO of KRM22, we took the action to restructure KRM22's internal teams and their responsibilities, as this is key to the Company's future success. The senior leadership team was streamlined and refocused into four distinct areas: Revenue, Customer Services, Technology and Finance/HR/Legal. We completed a successful search for a new Chief Revenue Officer, Billy Murray, who joined in September 2022. Dan Carter was promoted to run Customer Services, Viliam Dzupin's Technology responsibilities extended to cover Product, whilst Kim Suter's responsibilities were extended to cover legal contracts and administration.

This new leadership team has brought clarity and efficiency to the organisation and is a primary reason for the Company's success in the year to date.

Outlook

Overall, we are on the right path to achieve the objectives and internal KPI's set out at the start of 2022. These provide a strong foundation on which to build in 2023.

We have defined a goal to get to GBP10.0m of ARR while achieving positive EBITDA and cash flow and we have the right foundations in place to achieve this goal. Notwithstanding a backdrop of challenging market conditions, which we do not expect to materially change anytime in the near future, we will continue to consistently drive the acceleration of revenue through each of our sales channels. We also will continue to manage the underlying cost base of the business to ensure we have sufficient cash to give us the runway to achieve our goal.

As to the timing of achieving our goal, the amount of variables we have in our revenue plan still inhibit us forecasting exactly when this will occur. We believe that by remaining diligently focused on growing ARR, retaining customers and managing costs, the time frame for our success will begin to come into focus in our subsequent reporting periods.

As always, we thank you for your support and look forward to continuing to build one of the capital markets best risk management companies.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income statement

Total revenue

Total revenue reported in the period was GBP1.9m (H1 2021: GBP2.2m) and 96% (H1 2021: 94%) was generated from recurring customer contracts.

Recurring revenue

Recurring revenue recognised for the period was GBP1.8m (H1 2021: GBP2.0m). As at 30 June 2022, the Group had contracted ARR of GBP4.1m and as at the date of this report, contracted ARR had increased to GBP4.4m.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the period was GBP1.5m (H1 2021: GBP1.8m) and the reduction in gross profit margin to 78% (H1 2021: 84%) was due to additional hosting costs required to service the increase in customer numbers, which was further compounded by the adverse movement in the USD:GBP exchange rate, as a significant amount of hosting costs are invoiced in USD.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric to consider in order to understand the cash-profitability of the business due in particular to the non-cash items that impact the Income Statement under IFRS accounting, such as non-cash share-based costs.

Adjusted EBITDA for the period was a loss of GBP0.7m (H1 2021: loss of GBP0.3m) and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA loss to operating loss is provided as follows:

Financial position

Cash and cash equivalents

As of 30 June 2022, KRM22 held GBP3.6m in cash (31 December 2021: GBP5.4m).

Liabilities

As at 30 June 2022, our principal liabilities were:

-- GBP3.0m Convertible Loan owed to Kestrel Partners LLP. The interest rate payable on the loan is 9.5% payable in cash quarterly in arears. The loan can be converted into new Ordinary Shares in the Company at any time at a conversion price of 38p and the conversion can be requested by Kestrel Partners at any time. The Company has the right to request conversion eighteen months following the date of the agreement, 15 September 2020, subject to certain conditions regarding the Company's share price at that time.

-- GBP0.8m (US$1.1m) discounted (GBP1.1m (US$1.6m) undiscounted) deferred consideration for earn out payments for the acquisition of Object+. The liability can be satisfied in either cash or Company ordinary shares at the Company's discretion.

-- GBP0.9m for the right of use assets relating to all future payments of leased-office rentals under IFRS16 'Leases' whereby such lease payments are provided for at today's value however, in practice, these rental payments will be spread over the term of the leases. As a result, GBP0.4m of the related liability could be paid within twelve months with the balance for periods greater than one year.

-- GBP1.4m of deferred revenue; contracted and paid services that will be released within one year.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group remain broadly consistent with the Principal Risks and Uncertainties reported in the Group's 31 December 2021 Annual Report and continue to be monitored by the Board.

Notes to the interim financial information

   1.     General information 

KRM22 Plc (the "Company") is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales on 2 March 2018 under registration number 11231735. The address of its registered office is 5 Ireland Yard, London, EC4V 5EH. The Company listed on the London Stock Exchange on 30 April 2018.

The principal activity the Company and together with its subsidiaries (the "Group") is to develop and invest in leading risk tools to support regulatory, market, technology and operational risks.

The Board of Directors approved this interim report on 19 September 2022.

   2.     Basis of preparation and consolidation 

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 31 December 2021 Annual Report. The financial information for the half years ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 (3) of the Companies Act 2006 and both periods are unaudited.

The annual financial statements of KRM 22 Plc (the "Group") are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The statutory Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2021 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, which was unqualified, did draw attention to a material uncertainty, being going concern and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The Group has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in its interim consolidated financial statements as in its 31 December 2021 annual financial statements, except for those that relate to new standards and interpretations effective for the first time for periods beginning on (or after) 1 January 2022 and will be adopted in the 2022 financial statements. There are deemed to be no new and amended standards and/or interpretations that will apply for the first time in the next annual financial statements that are expected to have a material impact on the Group.

   3.     Going concern 

In carrying out the going concern assessment, the Directors have considered a range of scenarios in relation to revenue and cash forecasts for the next twelve months including, but not limited to, existing customer churn at different churn rates, no new contracted sales revenue, delayed sales and a combination of these different scenarios.

Having assessed the sensitivity analysis on cashflows, the key risks to KRM22 remaining a going concern without implementing extensive cost reduction measures is, existing customers paying on payment terms and within 45 days of invoice, customer churn of up to 10%, conversion of some of the sales opportunities that are currently at contract negotiation stage and maintaining control of the cost base.

If the forecasts are achieved, KRM22 will be able to operate within its existing facilities. However, the time to close new customers and the value of each customer, which are deemed individually as high value and low volume in nature, is key. In addition, delayed sales and/or increased existing customer churn could result in the Company failing to comply with financial covenants associated with the Convertible Loan and in this circumstance KRM22 would be obliged to seek resolution with Kestrel Partners on these financial covenants and may need to seek additional funding through a placement of shares or other courses of funding which have not yet been secured. This event indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on KRM22's ability to continue as a going concern. However, given the Group's forecast, visible sales pipeline and working capital needs, the Directors have considered it is appropriate to prepare interim financial statements on a going concern basis and have not included the adjustments that would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern.

The Directors have concluded that the circumstances set forth above represent a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. However the Directors expect to be able to raise funds through a placement of shares or other source of funding and believe that taken as a whole, the factors described above enable the Group to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The interim financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be required if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern.

   4.     Revenue (and segmental reporting) 

The Board of Directors, as the chief operating decision maker in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments, has determined that KRM22 has identified four risk domains as operating segments, however for reporting purposes into a single global business segment, as the nature of services delivered are common.

The Directors consider that the business has three risk domains: Enterprise, Compliance and Market. In addition, the Directors recognise Holistic as a revenue segment where customers adopt a complete suite of risk domain products. Within these three risk domains, there are two revenue streams with different characteristics, which are generated from the same assets and cost base.

   5.     Loss per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to the equity holders of KRM22 by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

KRM22 has dilutive ordinary shares, this being warrants and options granted to employees. As KRM22 has incurred a loss in both periods, the diluted loss per share is the same as the basic earnings per share as the loss has an anti-dilutive effect.
