Interim Results


14 December 2009


Ten Alps PLC ("Ten Alps" or the "Company"), the factual media company, announces its interim results for the six-month period to 30 September 2009.


Margins, profits and earnings per share were significantly increased from the same period in the previous year.


Ten Alps produces and manages multimedia factual content across TV, online and print media and has in the period developed several new, highly scaleable online projects for rollout in calendar year 2010.


Financial Highlights


  • Profit before tax up 38.5% at £1.8m (2008: £1.3m)

  • Profit after tax up 40% at £1.4m (2008: £1.0m)

  • EBITDA up 8% at £2.7m (2008: £2.5m)

  • Revenue down 4.6% at £35.4m (2008: £37.1m)

  • EPS up 25% at 2.05p (2008: 1.64p)

  • Cash down 4% at £7.2m (2008: £7.5m)

  • Net assets of £24.5m (2008: £18.1m)

Operational Highlights


  • Nearly a third of revenues are now generated in online crossover activities, contributing to a continued margin increase

  • Consolidation of business units created overhead efficiencies

  • Content division profit increased due to TV output increases and online activities

  • Communications division profit increased through online migration, reduced overhead and strong business development, notably in its corporate responsibility subdivision

  • New online projects developed to roll out in calendar 2010: Newton HD (science), Accountancy TV, Link2 

  • Global distribution deal with BBC Worldwide

  • Launch of Singapore operation, already making programmes

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Alex Connock said: 


"We are pleased to achieve profits growth again despite the recession, due to the strength of our teams, the measures taken to streamline costs and the relevance of our multimedia strategy to our clients. 


Trading since September has remained in line with the management's growth targets for the full financial year and further progress has been made in online migration and product development, of which the benefit is anticipated from the 2010-11 financial year."

Chairman's and CEO's Statement


The media industry is evolving rapidly: Ten Alps began equipping itself for that evolution in 2006 and the Directors believe that the Company's multimedia model is now absolutely right for the times.


Media success is now about making brands, products and companies work for advertisers and audiences on multiple formats simultaneously. Most major media companies from Discovery Communications to News Corporation have made their strategy cross-platform. 


Ten Alps' particular opportunity derives from market leadership in factual TV and B2B content, and in their combination into new and rapidly growing crossover sectors of the media, mainly online.


Business structure


Ten Alps operates through two divisions, with a major crossover area between them where traditional media margins can be improved. 


  • The Content division produces high-value TV and online output for broadcast and public sector clients.

  • The Communications division produces and manages online, print and events products for trade and public sector clients. 

The two divisions collaborate on crossover media products such as owned portals, online video channels and public sector media tenders. These target multimedia customer demand with the multimedia skill set of the combined Ten Alps divisions. 


We discuss each division in turn below followed by an overview of the crossover projects.


Content Division


Turnover in this division for the period increased to £9.76m, (2008: £8.39m) with net contribution increasing to £461,000 (2008: £448,000) before plc costs.


Business model / key differentiators


The Content Division has five business units that together constitute one of the UK's largest independent factual TV producers. Factual and online TV production is on a cost-plus model, funded upfront by the customer, with minimal financial investment by Ten Alps in projects before or during production. 


Performance


Ten Alps' success in this period continued to derive from the outstanding reputation of its individual production companies: Brook Lapping achieved major awards and plaudits this year for its Iran and the West BBC series; Blakeway continued to produce Channel 4 Dispatches current affairs programming in volume as well as BBC output such as The Future of Food series; and Films of Record made a sequence of high profile documentaries such as Murder Mansion (Channel 4). In all, over 50 programmes were produced for BBC, ITV, Five, BSKYB, Channel 4, Discovery and public sector customers. 


Demand was robust, recession notwithstanding, as factual content was largely excluded from budgetary cutbacks by broadcast customers, possibly because of its regulatory importance. 


The cost benefits of merging the London offices was felt, as was the sales impact of new operations in Belfast and Singapore with productions now underway for a new set of international customers. Overseas growth was supplemented by a significant new, group wide three-year international distribution deal signed with BBC Worldwide.


The division also has a government contract to 2013 (with possible extension to 2015) to manage the Teachers TV channel. 


Outlook 


The current slate of commissioned broadcast projects is strong. Teachers TV is achieving strong international interest and the Directors are confident that at least one overseas sale of the project can be expected in 2010.


In 2010, the division aims to maintain core UK factual sales whilst improving revenue through:


(a) developing new genres, such as popular factual;

(b) developing series as opposed to one-offs;

(c) addition of further international customers; and 

(d) digitisation of the 500-plus programme back catalogue for online exploitation.


The division also aims to improve contribution margins from 5% to 9% in the medium term through further efficiency measures.


Communications Division


Contribution before plc overheads increased by 16% to £2.2m (2008: £1.9m), driven by long term margin improvements and overhead efficiencies. Turnover in this division decreased to £25.6m (2008: £28.3m) as a result of a reduction in customer advertising spend in the period. 


Business model


The division runs three business models: advertising-funded publishing in long-term contract and owned assets; media buying and sales on agency commission; and fee-funded media content & production.


Creative and commercial activity is multi platform in print, events, online, video, marketing and design. Clients span B2B and public sector, in all major industries. 


Performance


The publishing business strengthened its position as the UK's largest B2B contract publisher, and net profit contribution strengthened to £1.7m (2008: £1.4m) despite lower advertising revenues. This was achieved through migration to online distribution (including the launch of aggregation portal Link2), reduced product costs and overhead controls.


The media buying and sales business maintained its net profit contribution at £0.6m (2008: £0.6m) despite reduced advertising, with a shift to higher margin work and a reduced overhead base.


The media content and production teams lifted net profit contribution to £0.6m (2008: £0.5m) with strong business development in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and online countering a reduction in events and print.


Management structures were streamlined in the period to five main UK business units, with centralised finance and service functions. Central costs of the division therefore increased to £0.7m (2008: £0.5m) but with significantly increased effectiveness and reduced costs in trading operations.


Overall, the division lifted its return on sales* to 8.7% (2008: 6.8%) at £2.2m (2008: £1.9m) on £25.6m (2008: £28.3m) revenue. Gross margins were up to 35.2% (2008: 31.7%) due to the shift in mix from media agency to higher-margin online (37% of the division's revenue is now delivered in online formats), fee based CSR, and owned publishing assets.


* Return on sales measure is taken with media buying and selling revenues as gross.


Outlook


With a reduced operating cost base and strengthened central function, the division can efficiently handle more volume on a fixed cost. Individual operating units are therefore targeting growth through further product development, most notably online and the Directors believe that this may generate higher margin returns.


We envisage that pressure on public sector and B2B expenditure in the U.K. will continue to increase demand for lower cost outsourced communications solutions such as those provided by Ten Alps. In addition to the efficiencies generated by outsourcing we see our approach of embedding commercial revenue generation into these solutions as increasing the traction we are experiencing with clients. 


Whilst the division has a specialist focus it still remains exposed to the trends in advertising spend and the macro impacts of the economy on such expenditure. However cost and margin actions implemented to date, plus the concentration of resources on growth initiatives, should see continued growth in net returns. The Director's believe that this is likely to add to the division's second half profitability weighting.


The Directors may consider strategically tactical acquisitions that may have the potential to increase the divisions reach in fee-based activities and online. In addition there is also real international opportunity to extend the commercial return of existing assets, plus open new regions to a multi-platform B2B model.


Crossover Activities


Half-year revenue from Crossover multimedia/online projects increased to £10m (2008: £3m), and profits were £2.6m (2008: £1m).


These projects are accounted for within the Content and Communication divisions and the figures above are designed to show the evolution of the overall output mix towards multimedia. These figures should not be double-counted with the divisional breakdowns above.


Strategy


The strategic rationale of Ten Alps focus on Crossover projects is driven by the fact that the media industry is no longer divided by clear distribution channels of TV, print or online. 

Ten Alps is using its crossover mix of expertise to pioneer new sources of business (see below) and the unique skill base of Ten Alps, particularly its strengths in factual TV and B2B advertising sales, are enabling it to enter much bigger media roles than its size would otherwise justify. A good example of this is our role in large public sector online TV tenders on equal terms alongside much larger media companies.


Projects


Ten Alps' Crossover Activities fit into five broad categories as follows:



    (1)      3
rd party managed projects. Mostly on a fee-based model. Teachers TV is a strong example.

    (2)     Owned Communities.
 Two primary business models are (a) a subscription based model such 
              as 
the forthcoming Accountancy TV channel, piloted in 2009 and set for calendar 2010 launch, 
              where accountancy firms will pay an annual user licence and (b) a niche advertising and 
              sponsorship model such as online science channel Newton TV, again set for launch in calendar 
              2010 in partnership with the Open University, Science Museum and Royal Institution.
 

    (3)    Managed Communities. 
This is on an online and cross-sold (alongside print) advertising sales 
              model.
 Link2 is a good example, Ten Alps' new B2B online trade listings service. 
              (www.link2portal.com)

    (4)    Back Catalogue TV online distribution.
 Here the model is evolving, but is likely to be a revenue 
              share model
 in the style of iTunes. Ten Alps has a back catalogue of some 500 fully or partially 
              rights-owned programmes

     (5)   UK
 strategic media opportunities. The model here is a mix of public funding and TV and online 
              advertising sales.
 Ten Alps has played a substantial role in the debate around government plans 
              to reinvent local news models, possibly with a short term state subsidy, and is bidding for a 
             contract to pilot such a service in the North East, as part of a consortium with Press Association 
             and Trinity Mirror Plc.

Higher margins from cross fertilisation 


The Directors believe that the Crossover Activities have the ability to generate higher margins than the core business. The interaction of the core divisions will be predominantly in the following areas:


  • The Content division is using the Communications division's sales expertise and culture

  • The Communications division is using the high end output skills within the Content division

Finance Director's Statement 


The first half of the year has seen Ten Alps maintain a steady course despite the current economic uncertainty.


Group revenue was down by 4.8% to £35.4m (2008: £37.1m) whilst operating costs fell to £33.4m (2008: £35.4m) due to greater cost control.


EBITDA or headline profit, a key performance measure used by the Board, increased by 7.9% to £2.7m (2008: £2.5m), even after the continued investment in the online strategy, TV development and redundancy costs. Operating profit rose by 12.7% to £2.0m (2008: £1.7m) after an amortisation charge of £404,000 (2008: £334,000).


For the period to 30 September 2009, the Group paid tax at a rate of 28% on profits chargeable to corporation tax. However the effective rate is lower (23.2%), driven by utilisation of losses from acquisitions in previous years. 


Earnings per share


Basic earnings per share in the year was 2.05p (2008: 1.64p) and was calculated on the profits after taxation of £1.32m (2008: £0.85m) divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period being 64,107,979 (2008: 52,243,005). The number of shares has increased due to a placing in February 2009 and a payment of an element of an earnout in shares. 


Diluted basic earnings per share in the year was 2.04p (2008: 1.62p) and is based on the basic earnings per share calculation above, except that the weighted average number of shares includes all dilutive share options granted as if those options had been exercised on the first day of the accounting year or the date of the grant, if later. 


This gives a weighted average number of shares in issue of 64,591,735 (2008: 52,815,409) reflecting the impact of the outstanding share options as at 30 September 2009.


Balance Sheet


The Group continues to maintain a significant cash balance and held £7.2m as at September 2009 (2008: £7.5m). The balance is £0.2m lower than at the last comparative, reflecting a significant deferred consideration payment made for the acquisition of Atalink for the six months ending in September 2009. However, the Group's net current assets have improved to £3.9m (2008: £2.4m).


The Group has provided for deferred consideration of £0.9m (2008: £3.2m) on the balance sheet of which £Nil (2008: £0.77m) is due after more than one year. These relate to earn out payments due to be made over the year in relation to the acquisitions of Mongoose Media and DBDA.


As at the period end, the Group had outstanding bank loans of £11.95m (2008: £14.45m) of which £9.45m (2007: £11.95m) is due after more than one year. The Group also had outstanding media loans of £Nil at the year end (2008: £317,000).


Shareholders' Equity


Called up share capital increased to £1.295m (2007: £1.05m) and the share premium increased to £10.18m (2008: £7.37m).


Retained earnings as at 30 September 2009 were £9.9m (2008: £6.5m) and total shareholders' equity at that date was £24.3m (2008: £17.8m).


Minority Interests


Minority interest in the income statement reflects the Teachers' TV consortium member share in the year being 25% (2008: 25%). The balance as at 30 September 2009 was £228,000 (2008: £279,000).

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements


1) General information 


The condensed interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2009 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 11 December 2009


The Company is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered office is Great Michael House, 14 Links PlaceLondon EH6 7EZ. 


The Company is listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market. 


These condensed interim Financial Statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2009 were approved by the Board of Directors on 12 June 2009 which received an unqualified auditors' report and have been delivered to the delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The financial information contained in this report is unaudited. 


2) Basis of preparation 


These condensed interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2009, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. 


3) Accounting policies 


These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the interim financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the last annual financial statements for the year to 31 March 2009 except for the adoption of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007) and IFRS 8 Operating Segments.


The adoption of IAS 1 (Revised 2007) does not affect the financial position or profits of the Group, but gives rise to additional disclosures. The measurement and recognition of the Group's assets, liabilities, income and expenses is unchanged, however some items that were recognised directly in equity are now recognised in other comprehensive income. IAS 1 (Revised 2007) affects the presentation of owner changes in equity and introduces a 'Statement of comprehensive income'. In accordance with the new standard the entity does not present a 'Statement of recognised income and expenses (SORIE)'. Further, a 'Statement of changes in equity' is presented.


The adoption of IFRS 8 has changed the segments that will be disclosed in the year-end financial statements. In the previous annual and interim financial statements, and in this interim financial statement, segments were identified by reference to the dominant source and nature of the group's risks and returns.  Under IFRS 8 the accounting policy for identifying segments is now based on the internal management reporting information that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker.


4) Segmental analysis


The operations of the group are managed in two principle business divisions, content and communications. These divisions are the basis upon which the management reports its primary segment information.
