Chairman's statement

Revenue

During the half sales increased by 16%, reaching a record level of £17.5m,
with all parts of the Group performing well. During the comparable period (H1
2021-22) there were two events that distorted our reported growth:

 

·      in the UK a release of £0.9m of Brexit inventory into hospitals,
a sale that we had recorded a year earlier which had been held in a dedicated
warehouse by the NHS; and

·      our discontinuation of several low growth product lines, from
which sales totaling £1.5m were recorded last year, which were not repeated
this year.

 

Removing these distortions, the underlying growth was 21%:

Tristel and Cache

Notwithstanding the distortions, both key segments of the business have
returned to a positive growth trajectory, with an increase of 20% in Tristel
Medical Device products and 13% in Cache Surface products.

 

We have increased our prices to hospitals in response to global inflation. Of
the increase in revenue of £2.4m, £1.8m relates to additional volume and
£0.6m to pricing, which reflects a 4% global price rise.

 

The product rationalisation which took place in the corresponding period last
year has achieved the key objective of sharpening our focus on our core
hospital market. The benefits have been the elimination of products that were
in sales decline and releasing operational and corporate resources to
activities with high growth potential.

 

Other

This revenue derives from carriage, and products which are complementary to
the Company's key strategic focus on infection prevention, some involving
third party collaborations.

 

Profits and margins

Gross margins have remained steady at 81% (2021: 80%), in line with
expectations.

 

Sales, general and administrative expenses of £9.5m (2021: £8.7m) have
increased by 9%, reflecting the general inflationary environment and the
recruitment of an additional 18 staff to accelerate our product development,
sales, and marketing activities. Consequently, personnel costs have increased
by 13%. Other cost increases include packaging (50%), plastics (24%) and
chemicals (128%). Whilst utility costs have increased by 60%, our
manufacturing process is largely manual, which provides us with some
protection from cost pressures caused by the energy crisis.

 

Reported Group profit before tax increased by 300% to £2.4m (2021: loss
before tax of £1.2m), and Group profit before tax and share-based payments
increased by 41% to £3.1m (2021: profit before tax, share-based payments and
impairment of intangibles of £2.2m).

 

Earnings and Dividend

Earnings per share (EPS) were 3.19p, a significant improvement from the loss
per share of 2.08p last year.

 

EPS adjusted for share-based payments of £0.7m (2021: £0.9m) and impairment
of intangibles of £nil (2021: £2.4m) was 4.65p (2021: 4.97p). The fall in
adjusted EPS relates to a higher effective tax charge in 2022 of 37% (2021:
16% credit). The effective tax rate on operational results alone for the
period is 21%. Both the current and deferred tax impact of the Group's share
option plans increase the overall effective tax rate for the period to 37%.

The share-based payment charge of £0.7m is derived from the Group's All-Staff
share option scheme (£0.5m) and the Executive Management LTIP scheme
(£0.2m). The All-Staff scheme is valued via the Black-Scholes model. The
Executive Management scheme which is linked to share price and profit targets,
is valued via the Monte Carlo method. The Board believes that these share
schemes help to retain staff and link their interests to shareholders. The
value of share-based payments is significantly influenced by the volatility of
the Company's share price, a factor that is out of the Board's control. As a
consequence, profit and earnings are reported on both an adjusted basis,
adding back share-based payments, alongside unadjusted, so that the underlying
profitability of the Company can be understood.

 

The Board is recommending an interim dividend of 2.62 pence (2021: 2.62 pence)
to be paid on 11 April 2023. The associated ex-dividend date will be 16 March
2023 with a record date of 17 March 2023. The dividend pay-out will be held at
its current level of 2.62 pence interim and 3.93 pence final, until the
Group's stated dividend policy of two times EPS cover can be reinstated
without a reduction in dividend per share.

 

North America

We have made our first sales in North America and have continued preparation
of the additional data requested by the FDA for our De Novo submission. This
will be lodged in March on time and within deadline and we are hopeful of a
positive response in June.

 

Outlook

We are pleased to see the level of sales and profit growth that characterised
Tristel in the decade up to 2020 returning and look forward to continuing
growth in the second half, in line with expectations.

 

We remain optimistic for the Company's future, and if our FDA submission is
approved this will add a new dimension to the Company's future ambitions - a
challenge that we are ready to meet.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the six months ended 31 December 2022

 1  Accounting policies

Basis of Preparation

For the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group prepared consolidated financial
statements under UK adopted international accounting standards. These
condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the interim financial
statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention. They are
based on the recognition and measurement principles of UK adopted
international accounting standards which are effective from 1 July 2022.

 

Forthcoming requirements: This table lists the recent changes to the
Standards that are required to be applied for annual periods beginning after 1
January 2022 and that are available for early adoption in annual periods
beginning on 1 January 2022

 Effective date
 1 January 2023  IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
 1 January 2023  Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
                 Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)
 1 January 2023  Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8)
 1 January 2023  Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice
                 Statement 2)
 1 January 2023  Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)

 

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be
expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future
reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

 

None of the standards, interpretations and amendments effective for the first
time from 1 July 2022 have had a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Accounting Policies

The interim report is unaudited and has been prepared on the basis of IFRS
accounting policies.

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this unaudited interim
financial report are consistent with the most recent annual financial
statements being those for the year ended 30 June 2022.

 

The financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2022 and 31
December 2021 has not been audited and does not constitute full financial
statements within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The financial information relating to the year ended 30 June 2022 does not
constitute full financial statements within the meaning of Section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. This information is based on the Group's statutory
accounts for that period. The statutory accounts were prepared in accordance
with UK adopted international accounting standards and received an unqualified
audit report and did not contain statements under Section 498(2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 2006. These financial statements have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies.

 

 

 2  Segmental Analysis

Management considers the Company's revenue lines to be split into two
operating segments, which span the different Group entities. The operating
segments consider the nature of the product sold, the nature of production,
the class of customer and the method of distribution. The Company's operating
segments are identified initially from the information which is reported to
the chief operating decision maker.

 

The first segment concerns the manufacture and sale of medical device
decontamination products which are used primarily for infection control in
hospitals. This segment generates approximately 84% of the Company's
continuing revenues (2021: 81%).

 

The second segment which constitutes 10% (2021: 10%) of the business activity,
relates to the manufacture and sale of hospital environmental surface
disinfection products.

 

A third segment comprises carriage and third party collaborations which are
complimentary to the Company's core strategic focus on infection prevention.

 

The operation is monitored and measured on the basis of the key performance
indicators of each segment, these being revenue and gross profit, and
strategic decisions are made on this basis.

 

The Company's centrally incurred administrative expenses and operating income,
and assets and liabilities, cannot be allocated to individual segments.
