Operational highlights

Fleet

Good progress in the main fleet business

·     Subscription base grew by 7% to 112,530 vehicles (31^st December 2017: 105,314)

·     Fleet installations grew by 6% to 15,220 (6ms 30 June 2017: 14,324)

·     Customer base increased by 10% to 12,035 (31^st December 2017: 10,961)

·     Fleet invoiced recurring revenue increased by 11% to £8.4m (6ms 30 June 2017: £7.6m)

·     Attrition* on a rolling 12-month basis was 12.0%, below the estimated 14% industry average

* Attrition is calculated as the difference between the number of new unit installations and the increase in active subscriptions between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2018, expressed as a percentage of the mean subscription base between those two points in time: (28,124-15,559)/104,750 = 12.0%

UK & Ireland

·     86,300 active vehicle subscriptions, up 4% (31 December 2017: 83,210)

·     8,228 customers, up 7% (31 December 2017: 7,725)

France

·     15,390 active vehicle subscriptions, up 17% (31 December 2017: 13,131)

·     2,101 customers, up 18% (31 December 2017: 1,776)

USA

·     10,840 active vehicle subscriptions, up 21% (31 December 2017: 8,973)

·     1,706 customers, up 17% (31 December 2017: 1,460)

Insurance

Continue to refocus insurance business away from lower margin indirect business, growing our direct offering.

·    Insurance installations comparable at 23,969 (2017: 23,947).

·    Volumes in the period were lower than in the second half of 2017, although some stabilisation seen towards the end of the second quarter.

·    This stabilisation was, in large part, due to growth achieved in the Company's 'Powered by Quartix' direct offering to insurance brokers, offering improved margins for this area of the business.

Andy Walters, Managing Director of Quartix, commented:

"We have made good progress in the first half. We have continued to focus on our key fleet business, resulting in strong growth in international markets. As indicated two years ago we have restricted our insurance business to those applications which appropriately value the Group's service and technology, and as a consequence our revenue in that sector was comparable with that of last year. So it is pleasing to see that good growth in the fleet sector enabled us to report total revenue of £12.9m, representing an increase of 7% overall."

"We achieved substantial progress in our subscription bases in France and the USA, as these markets registered increases of 35% and 42% respectively over the past 12 months. The UK subscription base grew by 11% over the same period. This rate of growth in the UK is lower than in previous years and we have therefore undertaken appropriate management actions and changes to reverse this trend."

"I am pleased to report that we are on track to meet market expectations for the year as a whole".

The Group provides an integrated tracking and telematics data analysis solution for fleets of commercial vehicles and motor insurance providers which improves productivity and safety and which lowers costs by capturing, analysing and reporting vehicle and driver data.

Chairman's Statement

Summary

The past half year has shown continued strong demand for the Group's vehicle tracking systems, software and services. New fleet subscriptions increased by 6% to 15,220 (2017: 14,324), revenue in this sector grew by 10% to £9.1m (2017: £8.3m) and recurring revenue increased by 11% to £8.4m (2017: £7.6m). Following the decision taken two years ago to focus on only those insurance applications which appropriately value the Group's service and technology, the Group has been developing sales in its own direct insurance offering.  Despite this change in the mix, UK insurance sales were comparable at £3.8m (2017: £3.8m) and the growth in fleet revenue ensured that overall Group revenue at £12.9m grew by 7% (2017: £12.1m).

Total sales in the UK were £11.1m (2017: £10.6m). Sales to fleet customers in this market increased by 7% to £7.3m (2017: £6.8m) and the subscription base grew to 86,300 vehicles, representing an increase of 11% over the past 12 months (30 June 2017: 77,953). This reduced rate of growth compared to last year resulted from lower new installations in the period of 9,000 vehicles. Management actions and changes have been taken to reverse this trend.  

The Group made very good progress in France, where the subscription base rose by 35% over the past year to 15,390 vehicles (30 June 2017: 11,405). Development of each channel to market is ongoing and revenue in France in the first half increased by 24% in local currency to €1.3m (2017: €1.0m). 

The Group continued to develop its operations successfully in the USA, taking its subscription base to 10,840 vehicles. This is 42% higher than it was 12 months ago (30 June 2017: 7,613). Revenue increased by 35% to $0.9m (2017: $0.7m). Following a review of the growth opportunities in the USA, the Board has decided not to further pursue any R&D on its ELD logging application. Whilst a potentially attractive market, this logging system is targeted at larger interstate trucking operations and is subject to a complex set of technical requirements and vehicle interfaces needed to support it.  Our conclusion has been that focusing on developing our core market offering to smaller fleet vehicles offers a much clearer path to sustained growth. All costs incurred in the ELD programme were written off as they were incurred. The project team working on this development has been refocused on product developments which are relevant to our core fleet business in all markets.

The Company's "Powered by Quartix" initiative for the insurance sector, which it launched in 2016, offers insurance brokers an off-the-shelf telematics product allowing them to compete effectively in the young driver market. It is now in use by four brokers and supported by one underwriter. Discussions are underway with a further underwriter and other brokers. This initiative has proven to be of great importance to the Company in promoting the Company's SafeSpeed contextual speed scoring system for the assessment of accident risk. The SafeSpeed database is unique in comparing the behaviour of young drivers on particularly dangerous roads (such as single-carriageway rural roads) with that of more experienced drivers on exactly the same road, helping to identify and coach those who are at risk of accident. We were delighted that this innovation was recognised by a Queen's Award for Enterprise, and that it has played such a strong role in helping to reduce young-driver accidents and fatalities.

Results

Group revenue for the half year was £12.9m (2017: £12.1m). Fleet revenue grew by 10% to £9.1m (2017: £8.3m) and insurance revenue comparable at £3.8m (2017: £3.8m). Sales to the insurance sector as a percentage of overall revenue reduced to 29% (2017: 30%).

Increased focus on our core fleet business led to the recurring element of subscriptions growing to represent 65% of Group turnover (2017: 63%). Although the higher level of this subscription revenue helps to improve the margin mix, we also funded growth of 6% in new fleet installations for the period (2018: 15,220 units installed; 2017: 14,324 units installed). The cost of all new fleet tracking systems and installations is absorbed in cost of sales. It is pleasing, therefore, that gross profit increased by 11% to £8.5m and gross margin to 65% (2017: 63%), reflecting the improvement in margin mix.  Operating profit for the half year increased by 2% to £3.8m (2017: £3.8m). Profit before tax for the half year also increased by 2% to £3.9m (2017: £3.8m). This is in line with achievement of market expectations for the year.

Operating cash conversion was 86%, resulting in pre-tax cash generated from operations of £3.3m (2017: £2.9m). Free cash flow conversion was 74%, resulting in free cash flow from operations after tax and investing activities of £2.8m (2017: £2.6m). The Group had net cash of £4.9m as at 30 June 2018 (£4.8m at 30 June 2017), having paid a dividend of £5.3m in May.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share were 6.89p (2017: 6.87p). On a diluted basis earnings per share were 6.86p (2017: 6.83p).

Dividend

The Board has recommended an interim dividend of 2.4p (2017: 2.4p) per share, amounting to £1,145,030 in aggregate. This was approved by the Board on 24 July 2018. The interim dividend will be paid on 14 September 2018 to shareholders on the register as at 17 August 2018.

Dividend Policy

The Board will consider a final dividend for the year with the aggregate of the interim and final dividend set at approximately 50% of cash flow from operating activities, which is calculated after taxation paid but before capital expenditure. The Board will also consider distributing the excess of cash balances over £2m by way of supplementary dividends. The surplus cash would be calculated by taking the year end cash balance and deducting the proposed regular dividend. The policy will be subject to review.

Governance and the Board

The Board is comprised of two Non-Executive Directors: myself and Jim Warwick, and three Executive Directors: Andrew Walters, Daniel Mendis and Ed Ralph.

For further details regarding Corporate Governance and the Board, please see the "Investors" section of our website (www.quartix.net/investors).

Outlook

The Group has made a good start to the second half, in line with management's expectations. The high levels of recurring revenue and opportunities to grow in the UK, France and the USA in fleet underpin our confidence for the rest of the year and beyond. We will continue to use the financial strength of the business to invest in our core fleet operations.

Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)

1              Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations that had been published by 30 June 2018 as endorsed by the European Union ("EU"). With the exception of IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (see revenue recognition policy below), the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, as described in those financial statements. In preparing these interim financial statements, the Board has not sought to adopt IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting".

The figures for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 have not been audited. The figures for the year ended 31 December 2017 have been extracted from, but do not constitute, the consolidated financial statements of Quartix Holdings plc for that year but have been restated for the fully retrospective application of IFRS 15. The original financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and included an Auditors' Report, which was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Going concern

The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group is able to generate sufficient liquidity.

The Group enjoys a strong income stream from its fleet subscription base while current liabilities include a substantial provision for deferred revenue which is a non-cash item.

After assessing the forecasts and liquidity of the business to the end of the following calendar year and the longer term strategic plans, 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 the interim results.

Revenue recognition

The Group has adopted IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' and the related 'Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers' (hereinafter referred to as 'IFRS 15') with effect from 1 January 2018 and applied the fully retrospective application, under which IFRS 15 has been applied to the previous financial year with its results being restated.

Under IFRS 15, the Group must evaluate the separability of the promised goods or services based on whether they are 'distinct'. A promised good or service is 'distinct' if both:

·     the customer benefits from the item either on its own or together with other readily available resources; and

·     it is 'separately' identifiable (i.e. the Group does not provide a significant service integrating, modifying or customising it).

Previously, revenue from hardware sales, including insurance telematics contracts, was recognised upon installation of the unit or despatch of the unit if the customer did their own installation. Revenue from installation was recognised upon installation and revenue from the provision of telematics-based fleet and vehicle management solutions was recognised over the period in which the service was provided.

The Group completed a detailed assessment of its sources of revenue and assessed whether the components of hardware, installation and data services are distinct under the new definitions of IFRS 15. The conclusion was that the Group's activities of supplying telematics units and installing telematics units are activities the Group undertakes to provide its telematics services and are supplied as part of a contract with the customer.  This means that the Group considers these goods and services as one single performance obligation.  Consequently, the Group will no longer recognise revenue separately for these goods and services; rather, it will recognise this revenue together as the provision of vehicle telematics services.

In relation to costs, the unit costs will be recognised when the Group relinquishes control of the unit. In addition, installation costs and distributor commissions will be expensed as incurred.

Further information on the impact of the new policy is disclosed in note 8.

2              Segmental analysis

The Group has concluded that it operates only one operating segment as defined by IFRS 8, being the design, development and marketing of vehicle tracking devices and the provision of related data services. The information used by the Group's chief operating decision makers to make decisions about the allocation of resources and assessing performance is presented on a consolidated Group basis. All revenue, costs, assets and liabilities relate to the single activity; and accordingly no segmental analysis is presented.

5              Earnings per share

The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the profits attributable to the shareholders of Quartix Holdings plc divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. The earnings per share calculation relates to continuing operations of the Group.

Earnings per ordinary share

8              Explanation of transition to IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

As highlighted in note 1, Significant accounting policies under revenue recognition, the Group has adopted fully retrospective application of IFRS 15.  These interim financial statements include the restatement of the previously audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 and the unaudited interim financial statements for the six months to 30 June 2017. The Group has not applied any of the practical expedients available for companies selecting fully retrospective application

As described in note 1, under IAS 18 the Group recognised revenue from hardware and installation services upon installation of a unit, or despatch if self-installed by the customer.  Following the evaluation for IFRS 15, the Group's activities of supplying telematics units and installing telematics units are supplied as part of a contract with the customer for the provision of its telematics services and will be considered as one single performance obligation.  Consequently, the Group will no longer recognise revenue separately for these goods and services; rather, it will recognise this revenue together as the provision of vehicle telematics services.

The principal impact of this change relates to the timing of revenue for units purchased by insurance customers, with the total contractual revenue sum being recognised over the contractual period for the provision of data services, which is one year.

As at 1 January 2017, the restatement of the Group's net assets was a reduction of £2,669,000 to £15,660,000 from the inclusion of additional contract liabilities of £3,293,000 under IFRS 15, being previously recognised revenue now being recognised over the contractual period for the provision of data services, net of a deferred tax asset of £624,000.

The impact of adoption of IFRS 15 on the financial statements is summarised below:

	30 June 2018	30 June 2017	31 December 2017
	Unaudited	Unaudited	Unaudited
		restated	restated
	£'000	£'000	£'000
Revenue	543	558	29
Profit before tax	448	452	24
Adjusted EBITDA	543	558	29
Net assets	(2,244)	(2,217)	(2,645)
Earnings per ordinary share (pence)	0.94	0.95	0.05
