 Commenting on the results Nick Bolton, Chief Executive Officer said:

 

"The Group has made strong progress in the first half. We are pleased that our efforts to realise value for shareholders continued with the successful sale of 2d3, which even after the payment of dividends strengthens the Group's healthy cash resources and creates a revenue base that is expected to be smoother and more predictable moving forward.

 

As we enter the second half, we believe that we have a solid platform in place and we remain focused on actively pursuing new routes such as licensing or partnership to maximise the value of our IP and to generate further shareholder value."

About OMG plc

 

OMG plc (Oxford Metrics Group. LSE: OMG) is a group of technology companies producing Computer Vision products and services for the entertainment, life science, engineering industries and consumer electronics markets.

 

The Group's technology is used globally to capture the movements of actors (for the movie industry), sportsmen and women (for video games or improving team performance), and children with cerebral palsy, rehab patients and animals (for medical, life science and research industries). The technology is also used for the management of highways and other forms of distributed infrastcture assets, such as lighting systems and other street furniture. Through this diverse offering the Group has earned its strong international reputation for precision from pixels and its unique expertise in imaging technology.

 

Founded in 1984, the Group is headquartered in Oxford, UK, and has two offices in the US and four in the UK. It has customers in over 50 countries and is a quoted company listed on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. The Group trades through three subsidiaries: Vicon, the world's largest motion capture and movement analysis company, Yotta, a provider of software and services for infrastructure asset management and OMG Life, our IP licensing business, which is focused on unlocking latent value in OMG's IP.

 

The Group's global clients spanning the worlds of science, medicine, sport, engineering, gaming, film and broadcast include: major hospitals and research facilities such as Guy's Hospital, Nuffield Orthopedic Centre, Headley Court and Loughborough University, engineering industry leaders including: Ford Motor Company, BMW, Toyota and European Space Agency and in the entertainment sector; The Imaginarium, Sony, Industrial Light and Magic, Sega, Nintendo, UbiSoft, EA and Square Enix. In infrastructure asset management, clients include Highways England, East Sussex, Kent, Lancashire, Transport for London, UK Power Network, Cheshire East and West as well as many others.

 

 Chairman and Chief Executive's Statement

 

Overall, the Group has had a good start to 2015. Vicon has delivered a solid first half performance with notable wins across all of its markets; Yotta has delivered improved revenues and profits driven by the continued success of its software business; and OMG Life continues to attract interest from several consumer technology businesses with formal licensing discussions ongoing.

 

The first six months of the financial year has seen the shape of the Group develop well through a number of strategically important and proactive changes that have been made in the business. The most significant development was the sale of our 2d3 defence software division to Insitu Inc., a subsidiary of The Boeing Company on 10 April 2015, for $25m (approx. £16.8m). This move was a positive and important step for the Group as it delivered on the founding ambition of OMG - to take great technology, nurture it, build it, amplify the value through acquisition and ultimately realise meaningful shareholder value from those efforts.

 

The disposal of 2d3 reduces the volatility of Group revenue and profit streams and enhances future visibility of earnings. This transaction combined with the disposal of House of Moves in October 2014, means that the Group has emerged as a more predictable business. 2d3 and the cash it has provided has emboldened our position. Our strategy has not changed and moving forward, we will continue to seek maximum shareholder returns. 2d3 will no doubt continue to thrive as part of Insitu Inc., and we would like to take this opportunity to wish our former colleagues success in the future. For comparative purposes the performance of 2d3 has now been classified as a discontinued operation in these results.

 

In addition to the 4.5p per share special dividend announced following the disposal of 2d3, the Group is pleased to announce a further Special Dividend of 5.0p per share will be paid on 10 July 2015, following an ex-dividend date of 18 June 2015 to all shareholders on the register on 19 June 2015.

During the first half, Group revenue decreased year-on-year by 4.4% to £11.3m (H1 FY14: £11.8m). This change in revenue is accounted for by a single large Vicon deal which was expected in the first half, but was delivered early in this current second half. This has also had a follow on impact on reported profits and accordingly the Group reports an adjusted loss before tax for the period of £0.7m (H1 FY14: loss before tax of £0.6m).  

 

Group cash position as at 31 March 2015 stood at £8.6m (H1 FY14: £6.5m). Post period end, following the successful sale of 2d3 cash strengthened to £21.7m as at 10 April 2015 prior to the payment of a £5.1m Special Dividend.

Our Vicon business reported a solid start to FY15. Revenues in UK / Rest of World ("ROW") were slightly lower compared with a year ago by 7.0% which is accounted for by one significant deal moving into the second half which Vicon has now delivered. Vicon reported an adjusted profit before tax of £1.8m (H1 FY14: £2.3m). The decline is primarily attributed to lower revenues and additional costs associated with the Innovate UK project. Vicon gross margins were slightly better compared to the prior year and the business is currently undergoing a programme of modest cost reductions which will lower the cost base.

 

The first half saw Vicon win a variety of deals in a number of sectors such as automotive (Suzuki, Maserati), education (Gallaudet University for sign language studies), Gaming (EA and Capcom), industrials (Boeing), retail (Champion Sport Wear for clothes design) and technology (Clearpath Robotics). In addition, our technology has been used in recent film releases including Paddington, Jupiter Ascending and American Sniper.

 

During the period, Vicon's development efforts saw the release of Vicon Lock, the division's new control system for connecting, integrating and synchronizing third-party devices with Vicon systems which is expected to enhance the accessibility of our highly popular Bonita camera series.

 

At the time of our Preliminary Results in December 2014, it was highlighted that Vicon had been awarded a grant by Innovate UK. This project has recently begun and we are using the grant to help develop new, innovative technologies to drive future growth and profits. Whilst there is a net cost to Vicon in the short-term the project is expected to deliver new adjacent technologies, which will help to drive growth in future years.

 

Overall, the outlook for Vicon in the second half remains solid and is expected to have a stronger trading period than the first half, which has often been the case in previous years, and is on track to deliver expectations.

£0.3m

 

Yotta reported revenues up 8.7% compared to the same period last year at £3.6m (H1 FY14: £3.3m). This increase has been achieved through the growth of the software and consulting services parts of the business. Yotta reported an adjusted profit before tax of £0.5m (H1 FY14: £0.3m).

 

Yotta's Horizons, its SaaS Visualised Asset Management system, continued to see strong growth and the UK now has 46 (H1 14: 37) customers. Yotta secured new customers for Horizons during the half including Southampton City Council, Herefordshire County Council and North Ayrshire, which is Yotta's first Horizons customer in Scotland. Post-period end, Yotta also expanded its reach into Europe, securing a contract with De Jong Zuurmond, a Dutch infrastructure services company, via Yotta's new distributor Wegdekmeten. This is the first order and application of Horizons outside of the UK, it represents a major milestone as the business shifts to be more SaaS orientated, and further international opportunities are being explored.

 

Further, Yotta also secured wins for its Mayrise software with Doncaster MBC and Portsmouth City Council among the highlights. The company continues to see synergy between the Horizons and Mayrise applications, exemplified in the recent win at Newport City Council, who continued to expand their use of Yotta's applications with the purchase of Horizons and mobile functionality for their Mayrise system.

 

The continued success of Horizons and Mayrise has seen increased engagement with our customers and high levels of customer retention. Demand for our consulting services has been high with year-on-year revenues up by 13% and has led Yotta to deliver a wide range of software and non-software related services to many customers, from training to strategic-level Asset Management advice.

 

The combined software and services business now has annual recurring revenues of £3.1m (H1 FY14: £2.4m) and software and related revenues accounted for 61% of H1 revenues (H1 FY14: 46%).

 

The surveying activities also saw success. Notable wins included Amey Plc, Cumbria County Council, Lincolnshire County Council, Rochdale MBC, Hertfordshire County Council and Milton Keynes. The development of Yotta's new Asset Video capture machine was also underway during the period and it will be carrying out contracts in the second half. Whilst Yotta's surveying activities were hampered by the wet winter, on a positive note the surveying teams have won new business with Hounslow Highways as well as with Liverpool, Hertfordshire and Hampshire Councils.

 

Yotta continues to grow as it evolves into an increasingly reliable, recurring-revenue based software and services business. The outlook for the second half is encouraging for Yotta and the division remains on track to deliver expectations.

Life

£0.0m

(£2.7m)

(£2.2m)

(£1.7m)

(£2.1m)

 

The reported adjusted loss for OMG Life of £1.7m (H1: FY14 loss: £2.1m) includes the full-write-down of previously capitalised Autographer specific IP of £0.8m (H1 FY14 £0.5m). The one-off costs associated with the termination of staff and relationship with our contract manufacturer have been reported as exceptional costs. The revised cost base of £0.9m per year partially benefited the first half and will fully benefit the second half. The Balance Sheet includes capitalised R&D of £1.3m (H1 FY14: £1.8m) relating to image capture IP.

 

This IP enables the capture of optimal imagery, including both video and stills. This means consumers can get a high quality shot or video sequence regardless of camera motion, difficult lighting conditions or even photographic ability, even with relatively low cost components. The development of these capabilities has proven timely as manufacturers seek to realise differentiation in the rapidly growing marketplaces of action cameras and newer social cameras and in the more traditional tablet and smartphone markets.

 

We continue to receive interest from a wide variety of consumer technology businesses, who have seen the promise and potential in the core IP within Life. These initial conversations have since evolved into detailed discussions as to how the technology can be best utilised within the potential licensees' forthcoming product ranges. These discussions continue with a relatively large number of organisations but two specific licensees have now entered more formal negotiations. These remain ongoing and we are focused on securing a tangible benefit in H2 2015 to underpin the confidence in the division's expectations for the year as a whole. Life is now well positioned to realise value from its IP and we remain excited about the future potential for the OMG Life business in its new form and see valuable opportunities ahead.

 

Outlook

 

Post 2d3, our strategy remains to generate shareholder value by taking world-class IP, developed primarily in Britain, and monetizing it through commercial sales. This is something we have proven we can do throughout our history - be that through building up Vicon to a position of profitable market leadership; through the scale up and sale of 2d3 to a strong partner for a significant premium; and indeed in the potential Yotta is now showing as an increasingly visible, dependable revenue performer.

 

Looking ahead, OMG will continue to build out the predictability and profitability of our Group revenue streams and will consider new routes such as licensing or partnership to maximise the value of our IP. Where possible we will continue to embolden our position via further corporate activity, where it enhances the quality of our revenue base.

With our strategic priorities unchanged, The Board remains confident in the strength of our diversified offering and position in key global markets; and thus of our ability to deliver sustained, balanced and profitable growth over the long term.

 

As we enter the second half notwithstanding macro-economic uncertainty, the Board is confident that with the expected performance across the three divisions the Group is on track to meet current market expectations for the year as a whole.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of this interim financial information

 

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM STATEMENTS

 

1.  Basis of preparation

 

OMG Plc (the "Company") is a company domiciled in England.  The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 31 March 2015 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").

 

The following IFRIC amendments and IASs have been issued by the IASB, but are applicable to future periods. They are not expected to have any material impact on the Group's reporting:

 

·      IFRS 5 'Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations'

·      IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'

·      IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements'

·      IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities'

·      IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers'

·      IAS 24 'Related Party Disclosures' (revised)

·      IAS 27 'Separate Financial Statements' (revised)

·      Amendment to IAS 32 'Financial Instruments: Presentation'

·      Amendment to IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets'

 

Otherwise, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2014.  They are in accordance with IAS 34.

 

The interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed and the financial information contained in this report does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative figures for the year ended 30 September 2014 are not the statutory accounts but have been extracted from the Group's 2014 financial statements which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.The auditors' report on those financial statements was unqualified did not contain references to any matters to which the auditors drew attention without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 

 

2.  Segmental reporting

 

Segment information is presented in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in respect of the Group's business segments, which are reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The Group has identified the Board of Directors of OMG plc ("the Board") as the CODM. The business segment reporting reflects the Group's management and internal reporting structure.

The Group comprises the following business segments:

 

Vicon Group:  This is the development, production and sale of computer software and equipment for the entertainment, engineering and life science markets;

 

Yotta Group:  This is services for the management of infrastructure and taxation, highway surveying and associated software development;

2d3 Group:  This is the development and sale of computer software for the defence market;

 

OMG Life:  This is the consumer electronics segment.

Redundancy costs in the six months ended 31 March 2015 relate to the restructuring of the Vicon, Yotta and OMG Life businesses (year ended 30 September 2014 costs relate to the restructuring of the 2d3 UK business).

 

Costs associated with termination of contract manufacturer relate to agreements to manufacture the Autographer in volume that were not fulfilled together with settlement of supply chain commitments. The cash impact in the previous financial year except for £106,000 which impacted the first half of this financial year.

 

4.  Taxation

 

The Group's consolidated effective tax rate for the six months ended 31 March 2015 was 31.1% (for the six months ended 31 March 2014: 28.7%; for the year ended 30 September 2014: 2.4%).

 

In accordance with IAS 34 the tax charge for the half year is calculated on the basis of the estimated full year tax rate.

  

5.  Loss per share

 

The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the basic earnings per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares on the assumed conversion of all dilutive options.
