Chairman's Statement
GROUP STRATEGY
The Group continues to focus on the global hospital market, using its
proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry for two applications: the
decontamination of medical devices under the Tristel brand, and the
disinfection of environmental surfaces under the Cache brand.
During the year we achieved the milestone of securing De Novo clearance for
our hand-held high-level disinfectant, Tristel ULT, from the United States
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The agency has approved Tristel ULT as a
Class II device for endocavity ultrasound probes and skin surface transducers.
This approval complements an earlier approval that we received from the United
State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for our chemistry's use in the
same packaging format, but for general surfaces in the ultrasound setting. In
granting its approval the FDA has created a new category of high-level
disinfectant being a foam or gel. This format implies application to the
device by hand, which is the USP of Tristel's high-level medical device
disinfectants: they are applied by hand rather than administered inside a
machine.
Today, Tristel is the market leader in Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific in
manual high-level disinfection of heat sensitive non-lumened diagnostic
medical devices. During the current financial year we will enter the North
American market and our ambition to become the global market leader can be
further pursued. We are delighted to announce that manufacturing has begun
in the USA and we have already shipped our first orders to customers.
During the year, 35% of our revenues were generated in the United Kingdom and
65% in the rest of the world. Throughout the 40 countries in which we actively
market our products, the number of diagnostic procedures involving medical
devices that can be disinfected by a Tristel product increased to pre-pandemic
levels. During the year, Tristel medical device disinfectant revenue, which is
driven by the number of diagnostic procedures, increased to £30.8m from
£25.4m in the previous year, and £20.8m in FY19, the year before COVID-19
disrupted hospital services worldwide.
Our second product range, Cache, made much slower progress during the year.
Revenue was £3.3m compared to £3.2m in the previous year. Part of the new
Cache range is still in the product design and testing stage, and a further
portion of the range is waiting for regulatory approvals in key markets. In
Europe, CE marking is required for medical device disinfectants, and whilst
the Cache product range is intended for environmental surfaces, many of the
surfaces around the patient are considered medical devices requiring CE
marking as well as approval under the European Biocidal Products Regulation.
Post Brexit, the UK introduced UKCA Marking Certification for medical devices,
and we are waiting to receive UKCA approval for the new Cache products.
These approvals have taken longer than originally anticipated but we are
confident that the majority will be secured in the current financial year,
giving us the opportunity to deliver significant growth in sales of the Cache
product range going forward.
INVESTING IN GROWTH
The regulatory environment in which we are operating is becoming ever more
complicated and demanding and we must comply with parallel (and sometimes
competing) regulatory frameworks. Compliance can only be achieved by building
the best Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs teams in a highly
competitive market for such skills and we have invested in this capability
consistently over the course of the past five years. Furthermore, highly
regulated products require highly technical marketing and we have also
invested heavily in our marketing and technical support functions during the
year.
We continue to invest in the best systems for a business of our size and
complexity. The organisation is deeply committed to a digital transformation
programme across all facets of our operation. Equally, we have committed
significant expenditure in our IT and cyber security infrastructure,
increasing spend to £1.2m from £0.8m in the previous year.
New product development is a key focus for the Board and we continued to
invest during the year in three areas:
· The 3T platform which is our app-based Train, Trace and Test tool
that enables a user of a Tristel medical device high-level disinfectant to
record all steps of the decontamination process.
· AI - capabilities incorporated into the app that enable objective
verification that the key steps in the decontamination process have been
performed correctly.
· Colour change technology - visual indicators that provide
compliance training tools for the user and which can be incorporated into the
decontamination process to ensure key steps in the decontamination process are
performed correctly.
We made 62 patent applications during the year and six applications went to
grant. During the year we invested £0.9m in product development and £0.3m in
securing and maintaining intellectual property protection.
NORTH AMERICA
During the current financial year, we will launch Tristel ULT in the United
States for the high-level disinfection of ultrasound probes. Our business
partner for North and South America is Parker Laboratories Inc, located in New
Jersey, who will manufacture our products and will sell Tristel ULT through
its well-established distribution network. Parker's own product range is
focussed on the conductive gels that are used in every ultrasound scan and the
Parker gel and the Tristel hand-applied high-level disinfectant are perfect
complementary products for all ultrasound scans, of which we estimate 215
million are performed annually in the United States.
In Canada we have secured approval from Canada Health for Tristel OPH as a
high-level disinfectant for ophthalmic devices and have appointed Innova
Medical as our distributor into the Canadian ophthalmic market. Sales have
commenced in the first quarter of financial year 2024.
OUR PEOPLE
I would like to thank our employees for their commitment throughout the year.
Breaking into the North American market is a remarkable achievement for the
Company and the team that worked tirelessly on the FDA submission over many
years. By securing approval from the FDA we have joined a very small group of
high-level disinfectant products that are approved for sale in the world's
largest ultrasound market, and we have done so with a technology and product
format that our young business invented twenty years ago. Today, the
organisation has matured into a globally recognised force in the infection
prevention industry - an achievement that we can attribute to the creativity
and resourcefulness of our employees.
RESULTS
Our gross profit margin increased slightly to 81% (restated 2022: 80%).
Overheads (excluding share-based payments, depreciation and amortisation) rose
by 14% from £17.3m to £19.9m, principally due to the increase in headcount
from 204 to 224. The associated increase in wages and salaries was £1.7m
(excluding share-based payments).
Adjusted pre-tax profit (before share-based payments of £1.1m and impairments
of nil) rose 35% from £4.6m to £6.2m. Statutory pre-tax profit increased to
£5.1m from £1.6m and the statutory margin rose to 14% from 5%. Charges
associated with share-based payments have been included as adjusting items.
Although share-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation
of our employees and executives, management believes it is useful to exclude
share-based compensation expenses from adjusted profit measures to better
understand the long-term performance of the underlying business.
Earnings per share (EPS) (adjusted for the add-back of the share-based payment
charge and impairment charges) was 10.67 pence (restated 2022: 7.68 pence).
Basic EPS was 9.44 pence (restated 2022: 2.09 pence) and diluted EPS was 9.34
pence (restated 2022: 2.07 pence).
See note 9 for reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.
BALANCE SHEET, CASH AND DIVIDEND
The Group has continued to be highly cash generative during the year and the
balance sheet is debt free (with the exception of lease liabilities). The
combined cash and short-term deposit balance at 30 June 2023 was £9.5m, with
£2.9m being on short term deposit (2022: £8.9m).
The Board is recommending a final dividend of 7.88 pence (2022: 3.93 pence).
Combined with the interim dividend of 2.62 pence, the total dividend pay-out
for the year will be 10.5 pence per share, a 10% increase on last year's total
dividend pay-out of 9.55 pence, which included a special dividend of 3
pence. Going forward the Board's intention is to increase the dividend
annually in line with the year's increase in EPS, committing to minimum
dividend growth of 5%. This final dividend will be paid on 22 December 2023,
to shareholders on the register on 24 November 2023, the associated
ex-dividend date is 23 November 2023.
OUTLOOK
During 2022 we rationalised our product portfolio to further improve gross
margins, sharpen our focus on the hospital market and our chlorine dioxide
technology. During 2023 the negative impact on our business of both Brexit and
COVID-19 receded and we resumed both top and bottom-line growth. We now have a
normalised marketplace in all 40 countries in which we operate and access to
the North American market. The growth possibilities for the Company are
stronger than ever.

Chief Executive's Report
Overview
The year ended 30 June 2023 was encouraging for the Group. The highlights
were:
· The beneficial impact of the product portfolio rationalisation,
which was completed during 2022, flowed through to the results for 2023;
· The negative impact of both Brexit and COVID-19 receded and we
resumed top and bottom-line growth in line with our pre-pandemic trajectory;
· We gained clearance from the United States Food and Drug
Administration for our Tristel ULT high-level disinfectant and we will be
actively promoting our medical device disinfectants in North America during
2024.
Financial targets
In October 2022 we established our financial plan for the three years to 30
June 2025, which was a continuation of the plan for the prior three-year
period ending in June 2022. The three key financial targets of both the old
and new plans are:
i) sales growth in the range of 10% to 15% per annum
as an annual average over the three years;
ii) the achievement in each year of an EBITDA margin
(excluding share-based payment charge) of at least 25%, and
iii) to increase profit before tax (excluding
share-based payments) year-on-year, independently of the other two targets.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption to NHS purchasing patterns caused by
Brexit negatively impacted our performance over the period. The business is
now in a much stronger position. For transparency, our performance against the
targets set in 2019 has been:

Our marketplace and technology
Our entire business is focussed on preventing the transmission of microbes
from one object or person to another. We pursue this purpose because microbes
are the cause of infection in humans. They can cause illness or death and
place a heavy cost on individuals and society. We achieve our purpose by
developing products based upon a very powerful disinfectant: chlorine dioxide,
of which we have a proprietary formulation.
Our mission is most relevant to hospitals where the risk of transmission of
infection between individuals is highest. Infection prevention is a basic
requirement for the safe and effective provision of healthcare, true for all
hospitals in all countries. Over 98% of our revenues are of consumable
products performing a vital function that is non-discretionary.
Our strategy focusses upon our proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry and two
principal applications for it: first, the high-level disinfection of medical
devices under the Tristel brand (accounting for 86% of continuing product
revenues in the year); and second, the disinfection of surfaces in hospitals
under the Cache brand (accounting for 9% of continuing product revenues in the
year). Within this second activity, we make a distinction between sporicidal
efficacy that is achieved with the use of our chlorine dioxide chemistry, and
the low-level performance claims that are made by most other disinfectant
chemistries. Our objective is to create a clearly identifiable segment within
surface disinfection for sporicidal products and to be the global market
leader in this segment.
With respect to Tristel, our proposition is unique in two respects: first, we
are the only provider of chlorine dioxide-based high-level disinfectants
validated and regulated for use with semi-critical medical devices; and
second, we are unique in applying the active ingredient in a manual process.
Other high-level disinfection processes using the active ingredients peracetic
acid and hydrogen peroxide - alternatives to chlorine dioxide - require
automated equipment to contain and control the chemistry.
Manual application means Tristel products are ideally suited for hospital
departments that carry out diagnostic procedures with small heat-sensitive
medical instruments. These include: nasendoscopes used in Ear, Nose and Throat
departments; laryngoscope blades used in emergency medicine; cardio echo
probes used in the diagnosis of heart disease; tonometers used in
ophthalmology, and ultrasound probes used in both women and men's health. In
these areas of the hospital, we are the simplest, quickest, and most
affordable high-performance disinfection method available. Consequently, in
geographical markets in which we have been present for some time, we hold
truly significant market share.
The cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces in hospitals is
ubiquitous and the global expenditure by hospitals on surface disinfection is
far greater than the expenditure on decontaminating medical devices. The
capability of a disinfectant to kill bacterial spores is the defining hallmark
of the best-performing biocides, and chlorine dioxide is one of the elite
chemistries that can kill spores.
Revenue
We segment our business to reflect our corporate strategy and geographical
spread. We have developed distinctly different brands for the two product
categories: Tristel for medical device disinfection and Cache for sporicidal
surface disinfection. Our strategic intention is to develop the Tristel and
Cache brands and product portfolios with a significant degree of independence
from each other, but both anchored upon our chlorine dioxide technology
platform and using the same sales teams in all countries.
The other product category, which we regard as non-core, represents a
much-reduced number of products that were not discontinued in our
rationalisation programme, and whose remaining product life span is relatively
short.
During the year, the revenue split across these product categories was:
£m Brand Revenue % of total Revenue % of total
2021-22 2022-23
Medical device decontamination in hospitals Tristel 25.4 82% 30.8 86%

We sell our products directly to end-users in those markets in which we have
established a subsidiary, and through distributors in markets where we have no
corporate presence. During the year, the revenue split by sales channel was:

originate within the UK subsidiary, for segmental reporting purposes they are
included within the UK.
We have 14 subsidiaries selling directly into the hospital marketplace in the
United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland,
Poland, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. We
have subsidiaries in the United States, Japan, India, Spain and Ireland which
are not yet active in terms of selling. We closed our Russian subsidiary early
in FY22.
During the year, in another 26 countries, we sold products through national
distributors.
Our Strategic Assets
We consider the assets that enable the Group to achieve its strategic goals to
be:
Our chlorine dioxide chemistry
There are three critically important elements that account for the unique
positioning of our chlorine dioxide chemistry:
1. The proprietary formulation,
2. Our focus over two decades on exploring the potential for chlorine
dioxide in the decontamination of medical instruments. There is another
application for chlorine dioxide chemistry which all other businesses have
concentrated upon which is water treatment. From the inception of our business
in the 1990's we looked in a different direction - towards medical device
disinfection - a direction which others have not followed, and this has given
us the pioneer's advantage,
3. The length of time that we have enjoyed this pioneer position has
allowed us to collate a significant body of knowledge, including published
scientific data, the testimony of almost two decades of safe use, a
significant global footprint of regulatory approvals and a library of proven
compatibility with hundreds of medical instruments, all of which would take a
new entrant significant time and cost to match.
Our regulatory programme succeeded in attaining 16 approvals for 11 products
in nine countries during the year. This includes FDA grant of the De Novo
request for Tristel ULT.
Intellectual property protection
On 30 June 2023, we held 142 patents granted in 32 countries providing legal
protection for our products.
In its broadest sense, our intellectual property relates to:
1. Patents, trademarks and registered designs,
2. The scientific validation of our chemistry and our products that
have entered the public domain, via a number of peer-reviewed and published
papers,
3. The certification by medical device manufacturers that our
chemistry is compatible with their products. We enjoy official compatibility
with the instrumentation of 56 medical device manufacturer, with respect to
1,449 of their individual models.
Our people possess an unrivalled body of knowledge relating both to infection
prevention and to chlorine dioxide, and they are a key asset for the future of
our business. Their domain knowledge relates to the manufacture of chlorine
dioxide-based products and their development. The Company's R&D investment
focusses exclusively on our proprietary technology, searching for improvements
in microbial efficacy, reductions in hazards, and greater efficiency in
manufacture. In parallel, we invest in the creation of packaging and delivery
forms that enhance and simplify the delivery of the chemistry and the user
experience.
Progress in North America
The Company made significant progress in North America during the year. The
key event in June was the clearance by the FDA which completed its review of
the Company's De Novo request for classification (Class II) of Tristel ULT as
a high-level disinfectant, and granted its approval for sale.
Tristel Duo, the Company's intermediate level disinfectant approved by the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use on the ultrasound console and
the non-invasive parts of the endocavity probe, was registered in all states
in the USA.
The nationwide launch of Tristel ULT will commence on October 2023. The
Company has established a manufacturing base with Parker Laboratories Inc.,
New Jersey, and will utilise Parker's national distribution network for the
ultrasound market.
In Canada, the Company launched Tristel OPH as a high-level disinfectant for
ophthalmic devices at the country's Infection Prevention Conference in May
2023.
Outlook
The enormous achievement of the year has been to gain FDA approval, thereby
gaining access to the largest healthcare market in the world and creating the
opportunity to leverage the significance of an FDA approval in countries that
look to the USA regulator for their own practice. This includes Central and
South America. We now have the opportunity to establish a global footprint for
our products and technology. The outlook for the Company is the strongest it
has been in its 30 year history.

1 Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
This financial information has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted
international accounting standards and in accordance with the provisions of
the Companies act 2006.
Tristel plc, the Group's ultimate parent company, is a public limited company
incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom.
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all of its
subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 June 2023. Subsidiaries are entities
over which the Group has rights or is exposed to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee and has the power to affect those returns by
controlling the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from
its activities. The Group obtains and exercises control through voting rights
or IP held.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its subsidiaries are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Amounts reported
in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary
to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are dealt with by the acquisition method. The
acquisition method involves the recognition at fair value of all identifiable
assets and liabilities, at the acquisition date, regardless of whether or not
they were recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiary prior to
acquisition. These fair values are also used as the basis for subsequent
measurement in accordance with the Group accounting policies. Goodwill is
stated after separating out identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill
represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and
the amount of non-controlling interest over the fair value of the Group's
share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of
acquisition.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent a proportion
of a subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group.
The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries
between the assets of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on
their respective ownership interests.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group 'controls' an
entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries
are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which
control commences until the date on which control ceases. Interests in
subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Step acquisitions
Prior to control being obtained, the Company accounts for its investment in
the equity interests of an acquiree in accordance with the nature of the
investment by applying the relevant standard, e.g. IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
or IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. As part of accounting for the business
combination, the Company remeasures any previously held interest at fair value
and takes this amount into account in the determination of goodwill as noted
above. Any resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income as appropriate.
Audit exemption
The Directors confirm that in accordance with sections 479A and 479C of the
Companies Act 2006, Tristel Plc, as parent company of the below entities, has
given a parental guarantee to enable those companies to claim exemption from
audit. This guarantee relates to the year ended 30 June 2023. The members of
this companies have agreed to the exemption from the audit by virtue of the
guarantee given by Tristel Plc, for the year ended 30 June 2023.

3 Segmental Analysis
The Group has reassessed it's operating segments and Group revenue lines are
split into fourteen geographic regions, which span the different Group
entities. In accordance with IFRS 8, aggregation criteria has been applied to
six operating segments where similar economic characteristics are shared. The
directors consider the operating segments to have similar economic
characteristics as they have similar operating margins, and the nature of
products sold, and customers are similar. Management consider these operating
regions under six reportable segments. The geographic segments consider the
location of the sale and product type sold, which is split into three sub
divisions. The Company's operating segments are identified initially from the
information which is reported to the chief operating decision maker which for
Tristel is the CEO.
The first product division concerns the manufacture and sale of medical device
decontamination products which are used primarily for infection control in
hospitals. These products generates approximately 86% of Company revenues
(2022: 82%).
The second division which constitutes 9% (2022: 10%) of the business activity,
relates to the manufacture and sale of hospital environmental surface
disinfection products.
The third division addresses the pharmaceutical and personal care product
manufacturing industries, veterinary and animal welfare sectors and has
generated 5% (2022: 8%) of the Company's revenues this year. A number of the
products contained within this division were discontinued during the prior
year.
The operation is monitored and measured on the basis of the key performance
indicators of each segment, these being revenue and profit before tax, and
strategic decisions are made on the basis of revenue and profit before tax
generating from each segment.
The Group's revenues from external customers are divided into the following
geographical areas:

8. Prior year restatement
Restatement 1
During the current financial year the group adopted a suite of lease
accounting software. The software has outlined the need for a restatement of
the financial position of prior years which is detailed below. These
differences emerged from varying discount rate applications and omitted
leases, which in current year have been supplied by an independent third party
due to the lack of borrowing within the Group and rectified respectively. As a
result of the restatement, the operating profit before tax and profit after
tax for the year ended 30 June 2022 has increased by £60k from £927k to
£987k. As a result of the restatement the Earnings per share for the prior
year are restated to £2.09 previously £1.96. Diluted earnings per share for
the prior year are also restated to £2.07, previously £1.94.
Restatement 2
During the current financial year it was identified that a corporate tax
receivable balance had incorrectly been recorded as a sales tax payable in the
prior year. There was no adjustment required to the 1 July 2022 statement of
financial position and no change to the tax charge.
Restatement 3
During the current financial year it was identified that no adjustment had
previously been made for the tax effect of unrealised intra-group profits. The
correction of this has no material profit effect in the current or prior year
and has been moved to retained earnings as detailed below.

9. Non-GAAP measures
Income statement reconciliation
The group presents adjusted profit measures (operating profit/EBIT, Profit
after tax, Profit before tax and EBITDA) by making adjustments for costs and
profits, which management believes to be significant by virtue of their size,
nature or incidence. Such items may include, but are not limited to, share
based payments expense, impairments, fair value movements on investments and
restructuring. In addition, the group presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
(adjusted in the same manner) as management believes that this is an important
metric for the shareholders. The group uses adjusted measures to evaluate
performance and as a method to provide shareholders with clear and consistent
reporting. See below reconciliation of operating profit (EBIT), profit
before tax, net profit and EBITDA to the respective adjusted measures.
