(4) FY20 dividend of 0.9p reflects interim dividend only and no final dividend.
Overview
-- Revenue decreased by 40% (39% on a constant currency basis) to GBP14.5 million (H1 FY20: GBP23.9 million) as COVID caused disruption to business activity and a suspension of face to face meetings.
o EMEA revenue decreased by 44% to GBP5.8 million (H1 FY20: GBP10.2 million).
o US revenue decreased by 37% (35% in constant currency) to GBP8.7 million (H1 FY20: GBP13.7 million).
-- Digitally-enabled revenue increased 43% to GBP10.3 million, (H1 FY20: GBP7.1 million) reflecting increased revenues from both digital products and live virtual deliveries:
o Digital product revenue grew by 7% to GBP2.1 million (GBP1.9 million) to represent 15% of total revenue (H1 FY20: 8%).
o Live virtual deliveries grew by 57% to GBP8.2 million, with strong feedback reflected in a 2% increase in participants rating courses as "Excellent" to 54% (H1 FY 20: 52%).
-- Repeat revenue(5) remained strong at 87% of Group revenue (H1 FY20: 92%) despite the impact of COVID.
-- Gross profit margin increased by 9.5 percentage points to 88.3% as a result of higher digital and virtual revenues.
-- Action taken to reduce ongoing costs whilst investing in accelerating the Group's digital strategy and continuing to innovate:
o People costs, excluding the new digital team, reduced by 9% on the comparative period last year and average headcount, excluding the digital team, reduced by 1%. Savings in basic salaries of 15% on the comparative period last year through temporary and permanent measures were partially offset by new heads in marketing and other areas.
o GBP1.2 million invested in new digital products to be launched next financial year, the majority in recruiting 19 digital specialists as at 30 September 2020.
o Product innovation has included an "on demand" digital e-workout offering; new DEI white paper; diversity and inclusion and wellness products; and remote working workouts.
o Investment in marketing has increased. This includes a strategic re-branding that will be launched along with a new website and marketing campaigns in Q1 FY22.
-- Adjusted(2) loss before tax of GBP1.3 million (H1 FY20: GBP3.9 million) before GBP0.7 million of restructuring costs, with the Group having operated profitably by the end of the period.
-- Cash balance remains strong at GBP14.5 million (H1 FY20: GBP10.7 million) due to continued working capital improvements to support continued investments.
-- Cash generated from operations remained positive at GBP1.1 million (H1 FY20: GBP4.3 million).
Due to the continued uncertainty in light of further cycles of lockdowns across the world and the allocation of excess cash to digital investment, no interim dividend will be paid.
(5) Repeat revenue is defined as revenue from clients that have purchased products during a comparative period in one or more of the previous three years.
Outlook
Due to the continuing global and economic uncertainties caused by COVID, it remains too early for the Group to reinstate guidance. However, there has been a month-on-month increase in revenue since July, with October delivering the largest monthly revenue in the year to date with the smallest year on year reduction at -15% versus October last year. We expect this trend in performance to continue and therefore anticipate full year revenue being down 20% to 30% and a return to profitability in H2 resulting in a small loss for the full year. Furthermore, despite the planned investment of GBP2.8 million in new digital products during H2, cash at bank at year end is expected to be between GBP9 and GBP11 million. Meanwhile, the Group remains focused on the medium to long term and is pushing ahead with investment in its strong digital proposition, the demand for which has been strongly reinforced by COVID.
Octavius Black, Chief Executive Officer of Mind Gym, said:
" The last quarter of FY20 and the first half of FY21 saw the nature of work and workplaces irreversibly altered by the global COVID crisis which meant that first half revenue was down 40% on the comparative period. However, in each month since the nadir in July, year-on-year revenue has continued to improve which implies a marked improvement in overall performance in H2 compared with H1. Our reputation for strong live delivery through virtual channels, built over ten years, has protected the business through lockdown and our rapid innovation has kept us highly relevant during this very human crisis.
The Group continues to invest in areas that support medium term growth including marketing and new senior hires, as well as a major investment in accelerating our digital strategy. Our robust cash balance protects the business and supports our ongoing digital investment to ensure Mind Gym continues to grow its share of the corporate human performance and behavioural change market.
The macro outlook remains highly unpredictable, however we are confident that when the greatest COVID risks have passed, the business will be in a stronger position than ever to realise the market opportunity and return to robust, sustainable growth."
The Company will host a webcast and conference call for analysts and investors at 11:00am GMT today. Octavius Black, Co-Founder and CEO, and Richard Steele, CFO, will provide an update on trading and outlook and Elaine Safier, Chief Digital Officer, will provide an update on the Group's digital strategy.

Half Yearly report
Business overview
COVID and its global consequences disrupted a five-year revenue CAGR of 20% to 31 March 2020 for the Group. As face to face meetings were cancelled across the world and clients pressed pause to fathom their business needs and responses, the Group saw revenue drop by 40% YOY (EMEA -44%, US -37%) with COVID having a material impact in both regions. While new lockdowns across the EU and the UK along with unknown outcomes in the US prevent us from reinstating guidance at this time, the Group has seen continued month on month improvement since July with September performing at -29% YOY and October at -15% YOY.
Repeat revenue remained strong at 87% (H1 FY20: 92%) and we continued to be well diversified across many sectors, led by technology, financial services and pharma.
Revenue from the Group's top 25 clients contributed 35% of revenue which was down on 46% for the same period last year due to larger size projects being paused.
The trends in workplace habits and needs accelerated by COVID had been identified and planned for by the Group already. Mind Gym's coaches are trained in the specific skills required to deliver content remotely and our operating and commercial practices empowered a rapid adaptation from live in-person (H1 FY20: 63%) to 100% live remote delivery without any compromise on quality. The Group's participant scores rating courses "Excellent" increased on the comparative period last year by 2% to 54% (H1 FY20: 52%).
As a result, the Group has seen its digitally-enabled revenues grow by 43% in H1 to GBP10.3 million. Within this, digital products grew by 7% to GBP2.1 million, representing a 6% increase in the proportion of Group revenues, up from 8% to 15%. Together, the increased digital mix and move to 100% virtual live delivery drove the Group's gross profit margin up 9.5 percentage points to 88.3%.
Like many other businesses, it was necessary to move rapidly to rationalise the cost base, although the unprecedented speed and severity of the pandemic's consequences meant this was to some extent reactive. Temporary people cost reductions were shared across all employees in the first quarter and led to a 19% reduction in staff costs on the same quarter in the previous period, permanent reductions at the start of the second quarter equated to a 10% reduction on the same period last year. These cost reductions were offset by our commitment to keep investing for growth. The Group commenced an investment programme to build a marketing function, revamp the website and a rebrand. In addition, the Group continues to invest in new leadership and the sales team. Nonetheless, reductions in people costs of 9% helped to mitigate the reduction in revenue which resulted in an adjusted loss of GBP1.3 million, as the Group also accelerated its investment in its digital strategy.
The balance sheet remains strong with no bank debt and cash of GBP14.5 million at 30 September. Further improvements in working capital meant that GBP1.1 million of cash was generated from operations despite the reduced revenue. This strong financial position provides resilience during these challenging times as well as the funds to invest in our digital proposition.
Innovation
The agility and capability of the Group's team of behavioural scientists and creatives came once again to the fore during the pressures in H1. The Group is pleased to report that the six month period included the creation of products to help clients meet the demands of the COVID crisis and consequent remote working, the response to the death of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, and increasing concerns about employee wellness (a multi-billion pound market). In addition, the research and writing of the new Diversity and Inclusion research paper was completed for launch in H2.
Digital Innovation
H1 saw preparation of an "on demand" digital package of all our 78 existing e-workouts for launch in early H2, which will help accelerate digital growth. The Group also set up an e-commerce trial, opening up another potential route to market.
The scope and timelines of the longer-term digital strategy have been refined and accelerated due to learnings from COVID. Two new products, one fully digital and one digitally enabled, and both of which address a large market opportunity, are planned for launch in H1 FY22. These are significant in their own right as well as important building blocks in delivering the longer-term digital strategy.
Despite the rationalisation of the cost base due to COVID revenue impact, the Group has continued to invest GBP1.2 million in the building of a digital team over H1. The digital product and platform innovation is capex which we will start to amortise when the first new products become revenue-generating in H2 FY22.
Team
Over the past two years, the Group has invested in senior leadership in line with its ambition for digital transformation and growth. The Board is confident that the leadership team has the potential to drive recovery and growth in a post COVID time.
Overall, the Group has overseen a 1% reduction in average headcount, excluding digital, versus the prior period. Of new hires, the 19 new digital heads are included in capex, in addition to shorter term contractors, at a cost of GBP1.2 million. The ease of transition of the Group to digitally enabled and digital revenue suggests the Board's confidence is well placed.
Board
As announced on 16 October 2020, the Board welcomed the appointment of Trevor Phillips as a Non-Executive Director and Sally Tilleray has become Senior Independent Director, following Baroness Dido Harding stepping down.
As announced separately today, the Board is also delighted that Baroness Ruby McGregor-Smith CBE has joined as a Non-Executive Director, with immediate effect.
Financial Performance
As a result of the anticipated disruption to our clients, revenue for the six months to 30 September 2020 decreased 40% (39% on a constant currency basis) to GBP14.5 million (H1 FY20: GBP23.9 million).
In EMEA, revenue decreased by 44% to GBP5.8 million (H1 FY20: GBP10.2 million), representing 40% of total revenue. Revenue from the top 25 clients decreased to 53% of regional revenue (H1 FY20: 70%).
In the US, revenue decreased by 37% (35% on a constant currency basis) to GBP8.7 million (H1 FY20: GBP13.7 million), representing 60% of total revenue. Revenue from the top 25 clients decreased to 50% of regional revenue (H1 FY20: 55%).
Revenue from digital products in H1 FY21 increased by 7.4% to GBP2.1 million (H1 FY20: GBP1.9 million), representing 14.6% of total revenue (H1 FY20: 8.3%); a 6% increase. Digitally-enabled revenue (including workouts delivered virtually) increased by 43% to GBP10.3 million (H1 FY20: GBP7.1 million), representing 72% of total revenue (H1 FY20: 30%), following the significant shift to virtual deliveries driven by our response to COVID.
Gross profit in the period decreased by 32% to GBP12.8 million (H1 FY20: GBP18.9 million). However, gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the period increased by 9.5 percentage points on the prior period to 88.3%. The increase reflects the higher mix of digital and digitally-enabled revenues in the period.
The Group has taken action to reduce costs to reflect current revenues, whilst continuing to invest to support growth. In H1, people costs before restructuring costs reduced by GBP1.1 million, or 9% on the comparative period last year; as a result of the measures taken, including temporary salary reductions, greater part-time work during lock down and restructuring, partially offset by continued investment in leadership, sales team and marketing.
As a result of the revenue reduction, and the continued investment in the Group's digital strategy, the Group reported an adjusted loss before tax of GBP1.3 million (H1 FY20: profit of GBP3.9 million). Restructuring costs comprising redundancy payments and related consulting and legal costs of GBP0.7 million are presented as adjusted items, resulting in a statutory loss before tax of GBP2.0 million (H1 FY20: profit of GBP3.9 million). The definition of adjustments was updated for the year ended 31 March 2020 to remove share-based payments and the adjusted results for the six months ended 30 September 2019 have been restated as a result.
The tax credit of GBP0.4 million represents an effective tax rate on profit before tax of 21.3% (H1 FY20: 21.0%). Excluding tax on adjusted items, the adjusted effective tax rate on profit before tax was 21.9% (H1 FY20: 21.0%).
Basic loss per share in H1 2020 was 1.58 pence (H1 FY20: earnings of 3.07 pence). Adjusted diluted loss per share as set out in Note 8 was 1.04 pence (H1 FY20: earnings of 3.06 pence).
The Group continues to generate cash from operating activities with no adverse impact from COVID on collections, with cash generated from operations of GBP1.1 million (H1 FY20: GBP4.3 million). Trade receivable and accrued income days reduced by 23% to 65 days, from 85 days at September 2019. Overdue debt has fallen from 24% of trade debtors at 30 September 2019 to 14% of trade debtors at 30 September 2020. Debtors over 60 days overdue improved to 2% of total debtors in the period (H1 FY20: 5%).
The costs associated with developing new digital products meet the definition of development costs under IAS 38, 'Intangible assets', and have therefore been capitalised in the period. The GBP1.2 million (H1 FY20: nil) investment is presented in the cash flow statement as the purchase of intangible assets. Cash at the end of the period was GBP14.5 million (H1 FY20: GBP10.7 million).
Overall net assets decreased by GBP1.5m million to GBP16.1 million in the period to 30 September 2020 (FY20: GBP17.6 million).
Dividend
Due to the continued uncertainty in light of further cycles of lockdowns across the world and the allocation of excess cash to digital investment, no interim dividend will be paid.
Outlook
Present uncertainties prevent the Group from reinstating guidance. However, we can report an ongoing recovery in the Group's month on month performance since July as well as an increased pipeline, with October 2020 narrowing to a 15% revenue reduction on October last year. We expect this trend in performance to continue and therefore anticipate full year revenue being down 20% to 30% and a return to profitability in H2 resulting in a small loss for the full year. Furthermore, despite the planned investment of GBP2.8 million in new digital products during H2, cash at bank at year end is expected to be between GBP9 million and GBP11 million. The Group therefore expects to be able to withstand destabilised markets due to further waves of COVID and the unwinding of government measures for some industries, as it refines the products needed for clients to navigate turbulent and challenging times. Notwithstanding further severe escalations in pandemic related disruption, the Group has a strong cash balance and a compelling digital strategy to increase market share over the medium to longer term.

MIND GYM PLC NOTES TO THE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Basis of preparation
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the AIM Rules for Companies. As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in preparing this interim financial information. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, including interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), and with the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The unaudited interim financial information does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. This interim report, which has neither been audited nor reviewed by independent auditors, was approved by the board of directors on 20 November 2020.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors on 10 June 2020 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.
The interim financial statements are presented in pounds sterling. All values are rounded to GBP1,000 except where otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies used in preparing the interim results are the same as those applied to the latest audited annual financial statements.
3. Segmental analysis

Both segments derive their revenue from a single business activity, the provision of human capital and business improvement solutions.

Restructuring costs in the six months ended 30 September 2020 include redundancy costs related to the headcount reduction exercise undertaken in response to the COVID-19 impact on the business.
Adjusted items for the six months ended 30 September 2019 have been restated to exclude share-based payments, which is consistent with the adjusted results presentation in the 2020 annual report.
The credit for employee option surrender costs in the year ended 31 March 2020 reflects the release of a provision in respect of compensation paid to a non-UK resident employee in relation to the IPO in June 2018. The employee left the business in October 2019.
7. Tax
The adjusted tax credit of GBP292,000 (six months ended 30 September 2019: charge of GBP831,000; year ended 31 March 2020: charge of GBP1,420,000) represents an effective tax rate on adjusted loss before tax of 21.9% (six months ended 30 September 2019: 20.9%; year ended 31 March 2020: 21.4%).
The statutory tax credit of GBP424,000 (six months ended 30 September 2019: charge of GBP813,000; year ended 31 March 2020: charge of GBP1,493,000) represents an effective tax rate on loss before tax of 21.3% (six months ended 30 September 2019: 21.1%; year ended 31 March 2020: 20.2%).
8. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. The Company has potentially dilutive shares in respect of the share-based payment plans (see Note 14). Adjusted earnings per share removes the effect of restructuring and employee option surrender cost (see Note 6).
