SYMPHONY ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES PLC
("Symphony", the "Company" or the "Group")
The information communicated within this announcement is deemed to constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014. Upon the publication of this announcement, this information is considered to be in the public domain
Interim Results
Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc (AIM: SYM), a global specialist in products and technologies to "make plastic smarter", is pleased to announce its interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018.
Financial highlights
-- Revenues increased by 11% to GBP4.1 million (H1-2017: GBP3.7 million) with gross profit up by 6% to GBP2.0 million (H1-2017: GBP1.8 million)
-- Revenues from the Group's d2w oxo-biodegradable technologies were stable at GBP3.6 million (H1-2017: GBP3.6 million). However, due to US dollar depreciation in the period compared with H1-2017, d2w revenues on a constant currency basis would have been approximately 11% higher
-- Revenues from the Group's d2p anti-microbial technologies increased significantly to GBP0.5 million (H1-2017: GBP0.0 million)
-- Operating profit fell to GBP18,000 (H1-2017: GBP109,000) but this was impacted by the Board's strategic decision to increase communication and marketing costs, of which an additional GBP171,000 was incurred in H1-2018
-- Basic earnings per share of 0.01 pence (H1-2017: 0.06 pence)
Operational highlights
d2w "oxo-biodegradable" ("OXO")
-- OXO technologies continue to represent the majority of the Group's revenues and are principally derived from outside Europe
-- These products - which continue to see increased consumer interest as concerns regarding plastics waste grow - are mainly for single use plastics which include, but are not limited to, shopping bags, bin liners, diapers, coffee capsules, drinking straws, agricultural and food and other packaging films
-- Eleven governments globally have now mandated that certain plastic products must contain oxo-biodegradable additives; a regulatory move which is beneficial to the Company's standing
-- More robust enforcement of this legislation is generating increased d2w revenues, particularly in the Middle East and Pakistan
-- Eco-label for d2w renewed by Brazilian standards authority, ABNT, following a full audit
-- Pursuant to the Oxomar Project, ("OXOMAR" - see notes below) which is sponsored by ANR, the French National Research Agency, French scientists have recently published a paper demonstrating enhanced bacterial colonisation of degraded oxo-biodegradable plastics
d2p "designed to protect"
-- Symphony has continued to invest into a range of speciality products which are synergistic with its customer base so as to expand the product offering
-- Latex and nitrile household glove sales increasing significantly in Italy, and now listed in numerous large retail outlets
-- Anti-microbial glove sales also increasing in the UAE and the United States
-- Having launched the world's first d2p antimicrobial water pipe in Pakistan last year, repeat orders were placed and delivered in the period
-- NSF International has certified d2p antimicrobial masterbatch for use in water pipes for North America having conformed with the requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 61 - Drinking Water System Components
-- Flame retardant approvals obtained in the United States (NF94 and NFPA standards), the UK (LPS 1207) and the EU (NFP 92-503)
-- Range of d2p products expanded with production of hospital overalls, examination gloves and tooth brushes having commenced in the period
Commenting on the results Nirj Deva, Chairman of Symphony, said:
We announced a comprehensive trading and operations update on 6 August 2018 and these half year results are consistent with that.
I am pleased to report an 11% increase in Group revenues to GBP4.1 million and in particular, new revenues from the Group's d2p anti-microbial technologies of GBP0.5 million (H1-2017: GBP0.0 million). This was achieved despite the average US dollar rate depreciating against Sterling in the period compared to H1-2017.
The growth in d2p revenues was mainly due to anti-microbial household glove sales in Italy together with repeat orders for d2p anti-microbial additive technology for use inside water pipes for the developing Pakistan market. We continue to see increasing d2p glove sales in Italy and are also optimistic of future sales given our recent expansion into new markets in the United Stated and the UAE.
We have also achieved NSF International certification for d2p anti-microbial masterbatch use in drinking water pipes which is an important step in opening up the North American market.
The commercialisation process for a number of our other d2p technologies is progressing and updates will be provided in due course. These d2p technologies include further anti-microbial products, flame retardants, odour and ethylene adsorbers, and insecticides, where we believe significant revenues can be achieved throughout our global distribution network.
As previously reported, we increased our full year 2018 marketing budget by GBP375,000 for allocation into improving our communication and marketing actions, particularly in relation to OXO. Most of this is for UK, Europe and USA activity. As the global drive for urgent change to more environmentally responsible products and technologies continue, we have seen and responded to some misleading and factually incorrect media and press coverage. There have also been many publications which were positive, including in TV media, such as RT America, which recently aired Symphony and d2w in a balanced and factual manner.
Much of the miscommunications against OXO technologies are being undertaken primarily in the EU by organisations with vested interests in other technologies. These other technologies do not have the same level of legislation and regulation in their favour, and in particular are not considered as an option to resolve the issue of plastics that escape collection and damage the environment. Our d2w technology is marketed and sold as a drop-in technology that acts as an "insurance policy" in the event that plastics escape being reused, collected or recycled.
We have comprehensive and independent evidence supporting oxo-biodegradable and its environmental benefits, and we are confident of our position and that we can fully defend our d2w technology. Oxo-biodegradable technology has been mandated for many types of plastic products in eleven countries where they have reviewed the evidence and understand its significant environmental benefits. Our d2w oxo-biodegradable technology has been fully validated for degradability, biodegradability and eco-toxicity under international standards and conforms to the EU Packaging Waste Directive.
As reported on 14 March 2018 in our Preliminary Results, the EU Commission has requested the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to review the evidence on oxo-degradable plastics and to prepare a report to the Commission on whether any restrictions should be applied to this type of plastic. Our d2w plastic is not oxo-degradable, but oxo-biodegradable, as defined by the European Standards authority "CEN", but we have nevertheless provided substantial evidence to ECHA. ECHA's report is expected to be published in January 2019.
We have, and will, continue to invest significantly into R&D and for the reasons set out above, we have increased our communication and marketing spend. The business continues to perform profitably inclusive of those costs. Stripping out those costs, the underlying business performed well with an 18% increase in Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Chief Executives Review) to GBP588,000 from GBP498,000 in the first half of 2017.
Your Board believe we are in a pivotal period with growing demand for our technologies. We expect to deliver record volumes for both our d2w and d2p technologies in 2018 and look forward with confidence.

Chief Executive's review
This has been an important period for the Group with continued profitability alongside our continued investment in R&D together with significantly increased costs associated with communications and marketing.
The underlying business is performing well, and we continue with our strategy to add new technologies within the Group's existing operational framework as and when they are ready for market.
I am pleased with the success of our d2p anti-microbial gloves in Italy and this will continue as we expand into more of the large retail groups during the year. A number of our other territories have started to show signs of growth, in particular the USA and Middle East.
Gaining NSF International approval for our d2p anti-microbial technology means that we can start to market in North America our range of masterbatches for drinking water pipes where we have already gained commercial traction in Pakistan.
The majority of our revenue continues to be denominated in US Dollars. Due to the US dollar depreciating against Sterling in the period compared with H1-2017, d2w revenues remained constant at GBP3.6 million. However, on a constant currency basis, d2w revenues would have been approximately 11% higher.
Trading results
Total revenue increased 11% for the first six months of 2018 to GBP4.1 million compared to GBP3.7 million for the first six months of 2017. The increase was mainly due to growth of d2p glove sales and water pipes generating revenue of GBP0.5 million (compared with just GBP0.0 million in H1-2017). Gross profit increased 6% to GBP2.0 million compared to GBP1.8 million for the first half of 2017, but gross margin decreased to 47.4% (H1-2017: 49.7%) due to increased finished product sales mix which have a lower gross margin than additives. Finished products accounted for GBP0.47 million of revenues during the period, compared to GBP0.14 million in the first half of 2017.
Administrative expenses increased by 14% to GBP1.82 million during the period (2017 H1: GBP1.60 million) mainly due to increased marketing and communication costs of GBP0.17 million. The remainder of the increase related to staff costs, and in particular in administration, supply chain and technical departments.
The Board has reviewed the underlying position of the business using the following Adjusted EBITDA calculation taking account of R&D and communication and marketing costs which have not yet had a significant positive effect on the Group's revenues:
GBP'000 H1 2018 H1 2017 Operating profit 18 109 -------- -------- Depreciation and amortisation 47 47 -------- -------- R&D costs 305 295 -------- -------- Communication and marketing costs 218 47 -------- -------- Adjusted EBITDA 588 498 -------- --------
Group operating profit for the period was GBP18,000 (H1-2017: GBP109,000), profit before tax was GBP7,000 (H1-2017: GBP95,000) and profit after tax was GBP13,000 (H1-2017: GBP95,000).
Earnings per share for the period decreased to 0.01 pence (H1-2017: 0.06 pence).
Balance sheet and cash-flow
The Group had net cash (no borrowings) of GBP0.63 million at 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: net cash of GBP0.63 million and 30 June 2017: net borrowings of GBP0.58 million).
Cash of GBP0.34 million was consumed by operations during the period (H1-2017: GBP0.28 million) due to an increase of GBP0.50 million in receivables due to longer credit term mix on business towards the end of the period. The net cash consumed was funded by proceeds from new shares issued as a result of options and warrants being exercised totalling GBP0.36 million.
The Group has an invoice-discounting facility of GBP1.5 million to assist in funding outstanding receivables when required. The Board believes that the Group has sufficient working capital to support the business and its current opportunities going forward.
Outlook
The Chairman has detailed the current status with respect to oxo-biodegradables, the technology, the media and the EU. We are confident of our technology position and expect to make positive ground over the coming months.
We have active markets globally for both our d2w and d2p technologies, and have established distribution channels to enable significant revenue growth of both our existing commercial technologies, but also the range of new technologies under development.
We look forward to the future with confidence.

NOTES TO EDITORS:
About Symphony Environmental Technologies plc
Symphony has developed and continues to develop, controlled-life plastic technology which helps tackle the problem of microplastics by turning ordinary plastic at the end of its service-life into biodegradable materials. It is then no longer a plastic and can be bioassimilated in the open environment in the same way as a leaf. The technology is branded d2w(R) and appears as a droplet logo on many thousands of tonnes of plastic packaging and other plastic products around the world. In some countries, most recently Saudi Arabia, oxo-biodegradable plastic is mandatory.
In addition, Symphony has developed a range of additives, concentrates and master-batches marketed under its d2p(R) brand, which can be incorporated in a wide variety of plastic and non-plastic products so as to give them protection against many different types of bacteria, fungi, algae, moulds, and insects, and against fire. d2p products also include odour, moisture and ethylene adsorbers as well as other types of food-preserving technologies. We have also launched d2p anti-microbial household gloves and are developing a range of other d2p finished products for retail sale.
Symphony has also developed the d2Detector(R), a portable device which analyses plastics and detects counterfeit products. This is useful to government officials tasked with enforcing legislation, and Symphony's d2t tagging and tracer technology is available for further security.
Symphony has a diverse and growing customer-base and has established itself as an international business with 74 distributors around the world. Products made with Symphony's plastic technologies are now available in nearly 100 countries and in many different product applications. Symphony itself is accredited to ISO9001 and ISO14001.
Symphony is a member of The Oxo-biodegradable Plastics Association (www.biodeg.org) (OPA), the Society for the Chemical Industry (UK), and the Pacific Basin Environmental Council. Symphony is also a strategic partner of the Commonwealth business initiative, and actively participates in the Committee work of the British Standards Institute (BSI), the American Standards Organisation (ASTM), the European Standards Organisation (CEN), and the International Standards Organisation (ISO).
