06:21		weatherman: The way I read it, SYS is / was an acquisitive + growth company, but the low valuation has led to a focus on cost controls and organic growth. There have only been a couple of small bolt an acquisitions in the last couple of years. The company is undeservedly undervalued imo - and I'm looking for a rerating having shown growth.

Although that obviously results in long periods of silence, such a strategy often results in good longer term traction. Trusting that will prove to be the case here!

The Group delivers solutions that enable clients to understand and benefit from industry leading technologies and advanced hosting capabilities. SysGroup focuses on a customer's strategic and operational requirements - enabling clients to free up resources, grow their core business and avoid the distractions and complexity of delivering IT services. The Group has offices in Liverpool, Coventry, London and Telford. For more information, visit hxxp://www.sysgroupplc.com Introduction The first half of the financial year has been one of steady progress with a focus on execution and continued delivery against our stated strategy. Revenue grew by 47.3% over the first half of last year to £5.8m, with recurring revenue of 77.8% compared to the first half of 2018. As stated at the full year, the business is continuing to invest in its sales and marketing functions to accelerate growth and expects to see the benefits begin to flow through into the second half and beyond. This is the first six month period under my stewardship, having been appointed Chief Executive on 3 April 2018. I was delighted to welcome Martin Audcent to the Board, taking up the role of Chief Financial Officer in July and have been impressed by the contribution he has already made. Further, with the recent additions of Mark Quartermaine (November 2017) and Mike Fletcher (January 2018) as Non-Executive Directors, along with the long-standing support from our Chairman Michael Edelson, I believe that we have successfully composed a Board with the right blend of experience and skills to be able to execute the strategic vision for the Company and ultimately deliver shareholder value into the future. At the beginning of the year we unified all Group operations and launched our services under a single brand, SysGroup, which was completed in April 2018. This has been an important step for the business following the acquisition and integration of Rockford IT (2017) and Sys-Pro (2016) and has helped to enhance our visibility and reputation in the market place. The rebranding has helped SysGroup transition towards being a more sales focused business, driven by the investments we have made to retain and recruit experienced and skilled staff in the sales and marketing functions, whilst maintaining the excellent service levels which is the bedrock of our business. Furthermore, the back-office investments made, such as a new CRM, integrated service desk platform and unified communications platforms are providing a more cohesive environment for our team. These developments will also allow us to scale the business and ensure that we can add both organic growth and integrate future acquisitions seamlessly. At the beginning of the period, we committed to provide an enhanced working environment for all of our team in line with that of a growing technology company. We set out to refurbish our office locations throughout the course of the year with Liverpool being the first to be completed and London is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year. These changes typically take time to bed in, but we are already starting to see the benefits. We have added more clients and have a strong pipeline of opportunities upon which we hope to capitalise. Strategy SysGroup's clear focus is to expand its position as a trusted provider of Managed IT Services to clients in the UK. The Board believes that a business focused on the provision of Managed IT Services offers the highest growth opportunity and the potential for increased margins and longer-term contracts, thereby providing greater revenue visibility. In pursuit of this strategy, the Group has positioned itself as an extension of a customer's existing IT department, with an emphasis on consultative-led sales to guide customers through the complexities and developments in the market. The Group intends to continue to supplement organic growth with carefully considered acquisitions that can add both value, through breadth of service offering and additional sector specialisms, and scale to the existing operations of the Group. We continue to actively explore strategic acquisition opportunities, being a key tenet of our growth strategy. The Company entered into advanced negotiations with regards to one sizable opportunity, however the Board was not able to get comfortable with a number of factors and the discussions were subsequently terminated by mutual agreement. Results and trading During the period the Group has delivered revenues of £5.8m (H1 2018: £3.93m) and Adjusted EBITDA of £0.56m (H1 2018: £0.14m). Of this revenue, 77.8% was generated from recurring Managed IT Services business, up from 72.8% at the same time last year, demonstrating the continued success of the Company's strategy. Gross profit for the period increased to £3.57m (H1 2018: £2.38m), corresponding to a gross profit margin of 61.7% (H1 2018: 60.6%). The expected increase in operating expenses comes from the addition of the Rockford IT business to the Group and the increased investment in Sales and Marketing and Group support functions. Exceptional items of £0.2m (H1 2018: £0.3m) relate to the integration and restructuring of acquired businesses and also includes £0.066m for professional fees incurred relating to the terminated acquisition process. Adjusted basic earnings per share for the Half Year ended 30 September 2018 was a profit per share of 1.1 pence (H1 FY18: 0.2 pence). Basic earnings per share (EPS) for the Half Year was a loss per share of 1.4 pence (H1 2018: 0.8 pence). Gross cash at 30 September 2018 was £1.15m (30 September 2017: £2.69m) with net debt of £0.84m (30 September 2017: net cash £2.41m). Improvements in working capital management have led to good operating cash generation in H1 FY19 which has been invested in capex, acquisition and integration activities and has reduced the net debt from £0.92m at 31 March 2018 to £0.84m at 30 September 2018. Market Opportunity The opportunity for SysGroup is, we believe, both significant and growing driven by both commercial and regulatory forces, most notably in the period the implementation of GDPR in May 2018. Security, Governance and Compliance remain three of the key areas of focus for organisations looking to consume managed IT services. With increasing regulation and external threats, businesses want to minimise risk as they rely more and more on IT to deliver their own products and services. Further, they want to understand where liability and risk share lies in the case of breaches and at the same time, make their chosen solution as cost effective as possible. The volume and breadth of solutions, particularly with migration to the cloud, means that IT departments are struggling to understand what best suits their needs, exacerbated by the fact that the pace of technological change continues to be so swift. SysGroup is ideally placed to benefit from these dynamics through its consultative approach to fulfilling clients' needs. Our staff are continually focused on the latest product developments and are able to design and present technology agnostic solutions. IT is no longer viewed merely as a burden cost centre but as a business critical enabler and with the shortage of non-industry skilled, relevant staff, an outsourced, consultative approach such as ours is proving an increasingly attractive proposition. Sales and Marketing The benefits are starting to be seen from the investments made in the prior year and in the first half of the current year. We now have a strong and skilled sales function with a clear go-to-market strategy under the leadership of an industry seasoned Sales Director and the resultant cultural shift within SysGroup has been noticeable. Our continued efforts in marketing are also beginning to bear fruit. We have launched a number of external campaigns as part of our newly defined marketing strategy with the introduction of digital marketing channels, including social media and targeted email campaigns, increased our efforts on search engine optimisation and have ramped up our internal lead generation function, all of which coupled together are creating an enhanced pipeline of opportunity. Outlook With the support of a team of almost 100 committed colleagues, each playing to their individual strengths, the growth opportunity for SysGroup is significant and continues to accelerate. We have a clearly defined strategic focus within Managed IT Services and Cloud Hosting, delivered through a highly consultative approach to businesses who are increasingly in need of guidance due to a continually changing landscape of risk and compliance issues coupled with a wide-ranging portfolio of solutions. Our operations have been unified under a single brand which is gaining recognition in the market, establishing us firmly as a trusted provider and supporting our strengthened sales and marketing teams. We are seeing a strong pipeline of opportunities and our focus on the UK market should provide a level of resilience to the possible impacts on the wider market from the currently uncertain political landscape. The continued investments we are making in the Group mean that we can effectively scale the business, both organically and through acquisition as we continue to monitor and assess opportunities. Trading in the second half of the year has begun well and as a result, the Board remains confident in delivering full year performance in line with current market expectations. Adam Binks Chief Executive Officer 26 November 2018
