Commenting on the results, Martin Boddy, Chairman of Jaywing plc, said:
"As we have outlined in previous announcements, trading in the UK in the first quarter of the year was very weak with a modest improvement in the second quarter. With the political and economic uncertainty in the period, many clients have been focused on their short term marketing spend and where this spend is discretionary, it has been running at a level well below that seen in previous years. However, trading in our Australia operation continued to show profitable growth with EBITDA increasing by 40%.
Overall, like for like Gross Profit for the half year fell by 20% to £12m but the impact on EBITDA was mitigated through cost management and efficiencies resulting in a like for like EBITDA loss of £551k. Despite this, we have generated a small positive cashflow from operations. Net debt reduced year on year following the sale of HSM Limited in January 2019 and loan repayments.
On 2 October 2019, following the half year period, we announced that entities associated with two of our major shareholders had acquired the Company's existing secured loan facility of £5.2 million owed to Barclays Bank plc. The major shareholders immediately provided the Company with additional secured facilities by increasing the Jaywing Facility by £3.0 million to £8.2 million, which enabled the Company to repay its outstanding overdraft and provided it with additional working capital.
By successfully tackling the Group's funding challenge Jaywing is now in a financially stronger position.
During September we developed a plan with the objective of returning our UK operations to profitability and cash generation in the short term, which assumed no improvement in trading conditions. Taking expert input we concluded that we needed to take a different approach and the plan sets out how we will reshape and re-engineer the organisation to address the changes that we are seeing in the way clients engage with agencies and the new demands that they are making of them. Since September management has been focused on executing the plan and I am pleased to say that we are making good progress. We have improved the management of our working capital, materially realigned our cost base and adopted a new and contemporary agency model that drives revenue and creates efficiencies in delivering even higher quality and effective work for clients. All of this is now being reflected in a stronger financial run rate.
The composition of the Board has also been reviewed and by mutual agreement. Adrian Lingard, Chief Operating Officer, is stepping down from the Board with immediate effect. On behalf of the Board I would like to thank him for his contribution over the past four years.
Beyond the short term, the Board is considering a range of strategic options to return the Company to highly accretive revenue growth. With its performance marketing proposition and pedigree in data science, Jaywing has some highly attractive capabilities that differentiate it from its competition and position it in areas of marketing spend that are set to grow."

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 December 2019.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019, 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 2019 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 2019 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 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
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 2019 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 Group has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in its interim consolidated financial statements as in its 2019 annual financial statements, except for those that relate to new standards and interpretations effective for the first time for periods beginning on (or after) 1 April 2019 and will be adopted in the 2020 financial statements. The only standard impacting the Group that will be adopted in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020, and which have given rise to a change in the Group's accounting policies is:
• IFRS 16 leases
Details of the impact of this standard is given below. Other new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the IASB that will apply for the first time in the next annual financial statements are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.
4. New IFRS implementation
The Company has adopted IFRS 16 - Leases for the financial year ending 31 March 2020, and it has chosen to use the modified retrospective approach to adoption which means there are no restatements to the prior year figures.
IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model, whereby the Group now recognises a lease liability and a right of use asset at 1 April 2019 for leases previously classified as operating leases. Within the income statement, operating lease charges, which previously were included in administrative expenses, have been replaced by depreciation and interest expenses.
The adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in a right of use asset of £2.8 million, with a corresponding liability of £2.8 million, being recognised as at 1 April 2019 which was depreciated to a value of £2.5 million as at 30 September 2019.
In order to see how the impact of IFRS 16 has affected Adjusted EBITDA*, a reconciliation is presented below:
6 months ended 30 September 2019

6 months ended 30 September 2018
£'000

-
Adjusted EBITDA* - consistent with 2019 presentation and accounting policy
(126)
1,327
* Before amortisation, share based charges, exceptional items and acquisition related costs
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 on a modified retrospective basis. Upon transition, a lease liability has been recognised based on future lease payments discounted at an appropriate borrowing rate. Additionally, a right
of use asset has been recognised along with a related lease liability. Within the income statement, the operating lease charge (£370k) has been replaced by depreciation (£333k) and interest expense (£54k). This has resulted in a decrease in operating expenses and an increase in finance costs.

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 2019 were £1.5 million (2018: £1.1 million) and, taking into account cash balances within the Group, there was £1.5 million (2018: £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.

On 2 October 2019, Jaywing plc announced that entities associated with two of the major shareholders had acquired the Company's existing secured loan facility of £5.2m owed to Barclays Bank plc. The major shareholders immediately provided the Company with additional secured facilities by increasing the Jaywing facility by £3.0m to £8.2m, which enabled the Company to repay its outstanding overdraft and provided it with additional working capital.
