Commenting on the results, Martin Boddy, Chairman of Jaywing plc, said:

 

"I am pleased to report solid progress in H1 18/19.


We have seen growth in gross profit year on year, building sales momentum and recognising early stage benefits of cost realignment and debt reduction year on year. The disposal of our contact centre (HSM Limited), as announced by the Company this morning, is an important non-core asset disposal, which will allow management to concentrate entirely on developing its core business and will simplify the Jaywing offering.

 

Following the disposal, we will operate as a consultancy, an agency and a technology business all under-pinned by data science. Our skill is to combine these to create solutions that our clients find indispensable.  We call this our "One Jaywing" model, a model which is now being utilised with over two thirds of our top 50 clients.  Our approach was recognised once again when Jaywing was awarded best large integrated agency in the Prolific North Awards for the second consecutive year in May 2018. It was also validated by major new business wins for SugarCRM and Hermes as well as growth in existing clients including Firstdirect.

 

We are seeing momentum build quarter on quarter this year, particularly in our performance marketing division, Epiphany.  The sales pipeline is also far stronger than at the same time last year and our churn rate is far lower. Our overall EBITDA margin, 7.3% H1 18/19, reflects the specific business mix in H1, and also does not yet capture the benefits of the cost base measures we have undertaken.  

 

The end of September represents the seasonal peak of our borrowing. However, net debt has reduced year on year. We successfully renegotiated our banking facilities in July and are comfortably within our covenants.

 

Jaywing has demonstrable value in its data science, digital marketing and marketing technology assets, and operates in market segments with significant growth potential. The disposal transaction of HSM Limited has multiple additional benefits: it strengthens our balance sheet; provides a sizeable and ongoing revenue stream; removes a lease obligation and provides better potential for significant improvement in margins.

 

Looking ahead to the remainder of H2, we don't anticipate market conditions improving in the UK given the general level of uncertainty in the run up to the UK's anticipated withdrawal from the European Union on 29 March 2019.  Fiscal Q4 (calendar Q1) has historically been a seasonally important period for the Company, due to the annual budgeting cycles of our clients, which are not expected to change.  Despite the market conditions, the Board believes that Jaywing's differentiated offering makes it well placed to capitalise on growth opportunities in both the UK and Australia."

CHIEF EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY

 

 

In the Media & Analysis segment, our performance marketing division, Epiphany has had an excellent H1 after a difficult 2017/18.  Gross profit has recovered to a similar level to the equivalent period last year whilst EBITDA is 20% higher showing the impact of our cost realignment.

 

Our data science consultancy has seen comparative H1 EBITDA performance down by £0.6m year on year, which reflects the scaling down of a relatively large and high margin financial services project. The focus here has been and continues to be on securing new business, alongside some cost realignment in what is an increasingly valuable industry segment, where there is a scarcity of talented resource.

 

Our Australian operation has continued to grow strongly year on year with gross profit up 45% and EBITDA up 126% on a purely organic basis. This excludes the acquisition of Frank Digital, which was only acquired in February and is growing well and integrating its services with that of our wider operations in Australia, replicating the "One Jaywing" model. 

 

We continue to invest in Jaywing Intelligence, though the net impact of this in H2 should be less pronounced as our technology gains traction with key clients.

 

In our Agency segment, we have had a number of significant new business wins, which over time should drive higher margins. The collaborative "One Jaywing" nature of our work has produced some excellent solutions for our clients and continues to differentiate when pitching for new client work.

 

With the disposal process of HSM Limited now complete, management can now focus on driving up the profitability of the core business and exiting the year in a strong position with good momentum.

1.     General Information

 

Jaywing plc (the "Company") is incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The registered address is Albert Works, Sidney Street, Sheffield,
S1 4RG.

 

The interim financial information was approved for issue on 19 November 2018.

 

2.     Basis of preparation

 

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2018, which are unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are carried at fair value.

 

The financial information for the year ended 31 March 2018 set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.  The Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.  The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain statements under Section 498 (2) or Section 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

 

During the prior year, a brought forward adjustment was made to correct a client media spend provision held in the accounts. The reserves balance carried forward at 31 March 2017 has been reduced by £538k.

 

3.     Accounting policies

 

Except as described below, the principal accounting policies of Jaywing plc and its subsidiaries ("the Group") are consistent with those set out in the Group's 2018 annual report and financial statements.

 

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

 

The following standards and interpretations of relevance to the Group have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group:

· IFRS 16 Leases (effective 1 January 2019)

 

As of 1 April 2018, the Group adopted IFRS 15 "revenue from contracts with customers".

 

Revenue arises from the provision of marketing services. To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process as follows:

 

1.     Identifying the contract with a customer

2.     Identifying the performance obligations

3.     Determining the transaction price

4.     Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations

5.     Recognising revenue when / as performance obligations are satisfied

 

Revenue is measured at transaction price, stated net of VAT and other sales related taxes. Revenue is generally recognised over time as the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers.

 

The standard is required to be adopted either retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. The Group used the modified retrospective approach to adopt the standard. Under this transitional provision, the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 is recognised on the date of initial application as an adjustment to retained earnings. No adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption of IFRS 15.

 

The Group has reviewed its various revenue streams and underlying contracts with customers and, as a result of the review, the adoption of IFRS 15 did not have an impact on the Group's statements of comprehensive income and financial position.

 

The Group does not currently anticipate that the adoption of the other standards and interpretations above will have a material impact on the Group's financial statements in the period of initial application other than IFRS 16 Leases. A review of IFRS 16 will be conducted to determine its impact on the Group.

 

Other standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective are not considered to have any relevance to the Group.

 

4.     Segment information (unaudited)

 

The Group reports its business activities in two areas: Agency Services and Media & Analysis being its two primary business activities. Unallocated represents the Group's head office function, along with intragroup transactions.

Total assets exclude intangible assets, cash and external borrowings which have not been allocated to operating segments. The majority of the Group's activities are carried out within the UK. There is also a subsidiary in Australia.

As the loans are at variable market rates their carrying amount is equivalent to their fair value.

 

The borrowing facilities available to the Group at 30 September 2018 were £1.1 million (2017: £1.1 million) and, taking into account cash balances within the Group, there was £1.1 million (2017: £1.1 million) of available borrowing facilities.

 

A composite accounting system is set up with the Group's bankers, which allows debit balances on overdraft to be offset across the Group with credit balances.
