moving from a licence fee model to being more a recurring revenues service
provider that, with three months still to go this year, we already have
visibility over 95% of our expected full year revenue. We have already
announced the winning of two new telco customers plus one in financial
services, and our cost base is now increasingly stable. We are picking up new
business and are looking forward with every confidence."

Notes to editors

 

The Pelatro Group was founded in March 2013 by Subash Menon and Sudeesh
Yezhuvath with the objective of offering specialised, enterprise class
software solutions for customer engagement principally to telcos who face a
series of challenges including market maturity, saturation and customer churn.

 

Pelatro provides its "mViva" platform for use by customers in B2C and B2B
applications, and is well positioned in the Customer Engagement space. Our
technology orchestrates the digital journey of the customers of the telcos
through contextual, relevant and real time offers and loyalty programs across
multiple channels including websites, social media, apps and others.

Managing Director's statement

 

Our results in the first half of 2022 and trading to date reflect both the
consolidation of our existing customer base as well as a healthy flow of new
business which will ensure growth in the coming years. Given that our first
customer was secured in 2016, a number of our typically five year contracts
have been coming up for renewal in the last 12-18 months, and it is extremely
pleasing to note that not one of our existing customers has sought to replace
us, and in fact have sought to strengthen their relationship with us by
requesting upgrades and change requests and/or additional software modules or
services. All of these produce valuable income for us and embed Pelatro at the
very heart of the customers' operations. The success of our mViva software in
enabling users to increase their revenue; this is further demonstrated by the
consistency of income from contracts where we take a share of the resulting
gain by the customer. Additionally we regularly see mViva enabling significant
reductions in subscriber churn.

 

We have also been expanding the range of industries we cover: having started
serving solely the telecommunications sector, we have now secured contracts in
the financial services sector and are closely tracking opportunities in
retail, all data rich sectors where our powerful data analytics capabilities
with advanced features like AI/machine learning technologies and real time
engagement enable our customers to enhance, enrich and extend their
relationships with their consumers.

 

We have worked hard to enhance the quality of our earnings such that the
significant majority of our revenue is now recurring in nature and, whilst
license sales are still an important contributor to revenue, even these are
often structured on the basis of regular monthly payments (for example, the
recent contract won with a Middle East telco with an initial value of around
$1m payable over three years). This contract also demonstrates our strategy of
securing relationships with members of large international telco groups where
we can leverage off the success of initial implementations to enable us to
market powerfully from "reference" customers.

 

Financial review

 

Revenue and profitability

 

In the six months to 30 June 2022 revenue increased by 21% over the comparable
period to $4.19m (H1 2021: $3.46m). Of the total revenue, approximately $2.41m
(H1 2021: $2.43m) was recurring revenue, comprising managed services, post
contract support and gain share revenue, the slight fall being due to currency
effects on INR-denominated revenue, the timing of certain services in one of
our larger contracts, and recent recurring revenue contract wins coming
onstream only in H2. Taking change requests of just under $1m into account
some 81% of H1 revenue was repeating revenue, with the balance relating to
license and other revenue.

 

Underlying operating profit (excluding the impact of non-cash share-based
payments, amortisation of customer-related intangible assets) was $0.27m (H1
2021: $0.48m). Within this, underlying "cash" costs rose only marginally from
$3.3m to $3.7m, reflecting both relatively stable staff numbers compared to
the growth of previous years as well as some benefit of the strength of the US
dollar (only around 10% of the Group's costs are incurred directly in USD with
some 70% in INR, around 10% in GBP and the rest in other currencies). However,
we recognised an increased amortisation charge on our capitalised development
costs, where amortisation of c. $1.3m is now ahead of the capitalised spend of
c. $1.2m.

 

Cash flow and trade receivables

 

Cash generated from operating activities was approximately $0.15m after
working capital movements (H1 2021: $0.52m). This reduction compared to the
prior period resulted from an increase in trade receivables to $5.59m (31
December 2021 $4.96m). Whilst part of this increase was due to increased
revenue, some is also due to delays in payment arising from routine foreign
exchange approvals needed by certain customers. These approvals usually take a
considerable period of time, and such delays are not unexpected and always
resolved in due course. We expect the majority of these receivables to unwind
in H2 and hence the H1 cash flow is not representative of our expectations for
the year as a whole: cash of $1.6m has been received in the months of July and
August and a further $0.3m to date.

 

Capitalised development expenditure was $1.22m (H1 2021: $1.19m), again
reflecting the relative stability in underlying numbers of the development
team.

 

Current trading and outlook

 

Business has been improving significantly throughout the year with several new
customers signing up for our products; in particular entry into the financial
services sector has been a major step for us during the past few months. Our
efforts in this sector have resulted in a strong pipeline getting built and we
expect to win several new customers in the financial services sector in the
coming quarters.

 

Revenue visibility for the full year reached around 95% of market forecasts
earlier this month, which we view as a good measure of the momentum in the
business. Given this traction, we expect to end 2022 with a strong base of
recurring revenue and to start 2023 with excellent visibility for that year in
turn. As in previous years, existing customers continue to take more products
and services from us thereby increasing the annual revenue from them.
Accordingly, we view our prospects for 2022 positively and look forward to
further growth in years to come.

The criteria for adjusting operating income or expenses in the calculation of
adjusted EBITDA are that they are material and either (i) arise from an
irregular and significant event or (ii) are such that the income/cost is
recognised in a pattern that is unrelated to the resulting operational
performance. Materiality is defined as an amount which, to a user, would
influence decision-making based on, and understandability of, the financial
statements.

 

Exceptional items are treated as exceptional by reason of their nature and are
excluded from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA (and adjusted earnings per
share below) to allow a better understanding of comparable year-on-year
trading and thereby an assessment of the underlying trends in the Group's
financial performance. These measures also provide consistency with the
Group's internal management reporting.

 

Adjustment for share-based payment expense is made because, once the cost has
been calculated for a given grant of options, the Directors cannot influence
the share-based payment charge incurred in subsequent years relating to that
grant; also the value of the share option to the employee differs considerably
in value and timing from the actual cash cost to the Group.

5              Earnings per share

 

Earnings per share - reported ("EPS")

 

The calculation of the basic and diluted EPS is based on the following data:

 

                                                                              6 months to    6 months to    Year to

                                                                              30 June 2022   30 June 2021   31 December 2021
                                                                              $'000          $'000          $'000
 Earnings
 Earnings for the purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share being net  (275)          (4)            (847)
 profit attributable to equity holders of the parent

 Number of shares
 Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of basic and     45,407,431     37,032,431     41,153,537
 diluted earnings per share

 

The weighted average number of shares and the loss for the year for the
purposes of calculating the fully diluted earnings per share are the same as
for the basic loss per share calculation. This is because the outstanding
share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per ordinary share
and would therefore not be dilutive under IAS33.

 

 

Adjusted earnings per share

 

Adjusted EPS is calculated as follows:

                                                                               6 months to    6 months to    Year to

                                                                               30 June 2022   30 June 2021   31 December 2021
                                                                               $'000          $'000          $'000
 Earnings attributable to owners of the Parent                                 (275)          (4)            (847)
 Adjusting items:
 - expensed share-based payments                                               3              15             32
 - amortisation of acquisition-related intangibles                             343            342            686
 - prior year adjustments to tax charge                                        -              (18)           (42)
                                                                               _______        _______        _______
 Adjusted earnings attributable to owners of the Parent                        71             335            (171)

 Weighted number of ordinary shares in issue                                   45.407,431     37,032,431     41,153,537

 Adjusted earnings per share attributable to shareholders (basic and diluted)  0.2¢           0.9¢           (0.4)¢

 

The criteria for inclusion of adjusting items in the calculation of adjusted
EPS are the same as those relating to the calculation of adjusted EBITDA as
set out in Note 3. Additionally, amortisation of acquisition-related
intangibles relates to the amortisation of intangible assets in respect of
customer relationships which are recognised on a business combination and are
non-cash in nature.

 

The Group has one category of potentially dilutive ordinary share, being those
share options granted to employees where the exercise price (plus the
remaining expected charge to profit under IFRS 2) is less than the average
price of the Company's ordinary shares during the period.

11           Post balance sheet events

 

Other than disclosed above there have been no events subsequent to the
reporting date which would have a material impact on these interim financial
results.

 

 

 

Basis of preparation

 

The Group has prepared its interim financial statements (the "statements") for
the 6 months ended 30 June 2022 (the "interim results") in accordance with the
AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange and not in accordance with IAS34
Interim Financial Reporting; the statements are prepared in accordance with
the recognition and measurement principles of International Accounting
Standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, but
do not include all the disclosures that would otherwise be required

 

The statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The
accounting policies adopted in the statements are consistent with those
adopted in the Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year
ended 31 December 2021 and those which will be adopted in the preparation of
the annual report for the year ending 31 December 2022. The statements do not
constitute full statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006 and are unaudited.

 

Going concern

 

The Directors have considered trading and cash flow forecasts prepared for the
Group, and based on these, and confirmed banking facilities, are satisfied
that the Group will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall
due for at least one year from the date of these results. On this basis, they
consider it appropriate to have adopted the going concern basis in the
preparation of the interim results, which were approved by the Board of
Directors on 21 September 2022.

 

Comparative financial information

 

The comparative financial information presented herein for the year ended 31
December 2021 does not constitute full statutory accounts for that period.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 have been filed with
the Registrar of Companies. These statutory accounts carried an unqualified
Auditor's Report, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and
did not contain a statement under Section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies
Act 2006. The accounts for the 6 months to 30 June 2021 have been restated to
reflect a reallocation of amortisation expense on capitalised development
costs resulting from a revised assessment of amortisation costs undertaken as
part of the review of the financial results for the year ended 31 December
2021. The resulting adjustment to amortisation expense has not effected either
the 30 June 2021 cash position or the full year results.
