Neil Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, said today: "The first half started well with a large patient warming system order from Poland. We maintained this momentum in the second quarter to achieve 9% revenue growth for the period. Our exports have continued to flourish with international sales up 18%. Furthermore, we were proud to win the Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade, resulting from the growth track record over the previous years. 

 

We have continued to advance our novel R&D projects including Project Wave and we are making good progress towards filing our application to start clinical trials.  Elsewhere, we are working hard on opportunities in our domestic market with our distributed products as well as developing more interest in our products in key export markets as we maintain our progress towards achieving double digit revenue growth.

 

Since the period end we were pleased to complete the acquisition of Vio Holdings Ltd and their subsidiary Viomedex Ltd, a long-time partner of Inspiration Healthcare. We are excited by the opportunity to develop sales of Viomedex's products through our distribution network as well as adding Viomedex's recently launched products to our portfolio. The enlarged group will also benefit from the added manufacturing capability, which will help increase gross margins of the Group. 

 

"We had a strong take up for our first fundraise, in September, allowing us to strengthen our balance sheet to take advantage of new opportunities and further invest in our business to drive revenue growth in future years."

Chairman's Statement

 

I am pleased to confirm that the Group continued to trade in line with our expectations as set out in our AGM Statement of 27 June 2019, with revenue for the first half up 9% on the equivalent period last year. 

 

During the first half the Group has realised the benefits of the investment made in recent years to develop new products and strengthen the regulatory, R&D and operational teams. It is pleasing that we achieved healthy growth in both our domestic and international markets, leading to overall revenues of £8.1m in the first half.

 

Critical Care revenue showed significant growth (aided by our largest ever order for our Patient Warming System in Poland) which contributed to an improved Gross Margin of 46.8% from 45.0% in the equivalent period. Operating Theatre revenue also showed growth and our Home Healthcare products continue to perform strongly.

 

The Group is now in a strong position to increase revenue from higher margin Inspiration branded products, particularly internationally, as well as to take advantage of a number of opportunities for distributed products in our domestic market.  That combined with the acquisition of Viomedex will give us the platform, and together with further acquisition opportunities will enable the Group to move towards our long-term goal of becoming a world leader in Neonatal Intensive Care.

 

Financial Review

 

Revenue for the six months to 31 July 2019 was £8.1 million (H1 2018/19: £7.4 million), an increase of 9% over the equivalent period for the previous year. EBITDA1 on a like-for-like basis with prior year improved by 21% to £0.8m as a result of growing gross profit and limiting the increase in cash-based overheads.

 

In this accounting period we have, for the first time, been required to apply IFRS 16, Leases. Having applied IFRS 16 EBITDA is £0.9m, an increase of 31% over prior year. See note 8 for the impact of IFRS 16 on these results.

 

Operating profit before exceptional items for the period was £0.6m, an increase of 12% over the equivalent period of the previous year.

 

Revenue from our Own Brand Products increased 13% year on year to £3.6m (H1 2018/19: £3.2m) and accounted for 45% of revenue, up from 44% in the equivalent period. This was boosted by revenue from new products launched during the previous 24 months accounting for 17% of revenue for the period. Revenue from our Distributed Products was up by 5% to £3.3m, with particularly good sales in Home Healthcare.

 

Gross margin of 46.8% increased from 45.0% in the equivalent period due to the improved product mix towards Inspiration Branded Products. The continued investment in personnel throughout the Group resulted in an increase of operating expenses of 14%. Investment in R&D amounted to approximately 3% of revenue in the first half however we expect total spend on R&D to increase in the second half.

 

Exceptional items of £75k represent expenses incurred to 31 July 2019 in relation to the acquisition of Vio Holdings Limited which completed on 24 September 2019.

 

Profit after tax of £0.4m was slightly down on the same period last year due mainly to the exceptional item expense as outlined above and a small increase in the tax charge arising from lower relief on the reduced R&D spend referred to above.

 

Adjusting for the exceptional items diluted earnings per share was 1.5p. The resulting diluted earnings per share was 1.3p (H1 2018/19: 1.4p).

 

Cash at 31 July 2019 was £2.6 million, a net inflow of £0.1m. Inventories increased £0.5m as a result Brexit planning. Trade and other payables are lower due to reduced capital spend.

 

Operational Review

 

Both domestic and international revenue grew, by 5% and 18% respectively, as a result of our new products launches made during the previous 24 months. We expect to continue to increase the level of international sales as we work with our distributors to develop markets, whilst progressing the registration of devices for the US market.

 

As with many companies exporting to and importing from the European Union, we continue to monitor the potential impact of Brexit. Clearly uncertainty remains about the future relationship between the UK and the EU, although we do not anticipate any material impact in the longer term, we will continue to explore all options to mitigate the short-term effects that disruption to the border and the flow of goods may have.

 

Critical Care revenue was up 5% to £5.4m due to the factors outlined above and Operating Theatre revenue was up 6% to £0.8m. Home Healthcare revenue was up 25% to £1.9m. These figures were in line with our expectations with the opportunities that were known in the various segments.

 

Acquisition of Viomedex Limited

 

The Group has acquired the entire share capital of Vio Holdings Limited, which included its subsidiary Viomedex Limited, a long-standing trading partner of Inspiration Healthcare, which completed on 24 September 2019. This will give us an increased range of products for Neonatal Intensive Care and added manufacturing capability to drive the Group forward.

 

Outlook

 

The Group has achieved its first half expectations and as we enter the second half, we are encouraged by the take up of our new products and expect them to create a basis for growth over the coming years. As past trends have shown, our revenues are weighted towards the second half and we expect this to continue.

 

The acquisition of Viomedex Limited will provide some exciting new neonatal intensive care products, strengthen management and add production capability to our core business and we expect to realise the main benefits of this acquisition from next financial year, thereby moving us closer to our goal of being the market leader in Neonatal Intensive Care.

 

Our overall expectations for the financial year remain unchanged and we remain on track to deliver double-digit growth over the full year.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 July 2019

 

1.       Basis of Preparation

 

This condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 31 July 2019 have been prepared in accordance with AIM rule 18 in relation to half year reports. This information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

 

2.       Going concern basis   

 

The Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash resources. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated interim financial statements.

 

 

3.       Interim financial information

 

The interim financial information for the period ended 31 July 2019 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial information for the period ended 31 July 2018 is also unaudited. The audited accounts for the year ended 31 January 2019 for Inspiration Healthcare Group plc were approved by its Board of Directors on 30 April 2019 and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies with an unqualified audit report.

 

 The Company's annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2019 were prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The standards used are those published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the EU at the time of preparing those statements.

 

The following standards have been adopted for the first time in the current financial year.

 

IFRS 16 Leases

 

IFRS 16 (effective 1 January 2019) deals with the classification, measurement and recognition of leases and replaces IAS 37. The impact of implementation of IFRS 16 is disclosed in note 8.

 

4.       Taxation

 

A provision has been made for corporation tax at the rate of 19% on the estimated taxable profits for the period. 

 

5.       Dividends Paid

 

There are no immediate plans to pay dividends for Inspiration Healthcare Group plc.

 

The Board expects the Company to be capable of paying a nominal dividend for the fiscal year ended 31 January 2021

6.           Earnings per ordinary share

Basic earnings per share for the period is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year after tax by the weighted average number of shares in issue.

Basic diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.

The calculation of earnings per ordinary share is based on a profit of £404k (31 July 2018: £434k and 31 January 2019: 1,103k)

8.       Changes in accounting policies

 

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16, 'Leases', on the group's financial statements.

 

The group has adopted IFRS 16 under the modified retrospective approach from 1 February 2019 and has therefore not restated comparatives for the prior reporting periods. The reclassification and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 February 2019.

 

Adjustments recognised on adoption of IFRS 16

 

On adoption of IFRS 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under IAS 17, 'Leases'. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 February 2019 of between 3.50% to 3.75%.

 

The associated right of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
