Chairman's Statement for the Period Ended 30 June 2014

 

The Company has made good progress in the six months to 30 June 2014 and I am pleased to report that revenue for the period was US$9.1M, an increase of 40% (2013 H1: US$6.5M).

 

This is the best interim performance in NetDimension's history. The 40% growth in revenue is a substantial increase over the 2013 H1 revenue growth of 10%, with the accelerated growth providing confidence that the growth in the Company is gaining momentum in a traditionally second half weighted business. Invoiced sales were also US$9.1M for the period, an increase of 49% (2013 H1: US$6.1M).

 

These headline numbers are an encouraging early indication of the success of the Business plan that the Board implemented last year to substantially grow sales revenues.

 

Financial Highlights

 

· 40% GAAP revenue growth to US$9.1M (2013 H1: US$6.5M)

· 49% invoiced sales growth to US$9.1M (2013 H1: US$6.1M)

· 38% increase in deferred revenue to US$7.6M (2013 H1: US$5.5M)

· 50% GAAP revenue growth in our global secure Software as a Service ("SaaS") offering to US$3.9M (2013 H1: US$2.6M)

 

Financial Summary

 

The financial results for the period ending 30 June 2014 saw excellent progress with accelerated growth in both revenue and invoiced sales both of which were substantially higher than in the prior period.

 

The Group continues to improve direct sales activity and in the period the proportion of invoiced sales from direct clients was US$8M representing 88% (2013 H1: 83%) of total invoiced sales.

 

The North America region performed strongly in the period and accounted for 46% of Group revenues. The North America region included a full 6 months contribution from the new Healthcare division. Europe, Middle East & Africa ("EMEA") comprised 39% of Group revenues and Asia Pacific including China 12%. The rest of the world made up 3%.

 

The Group saw substantial revenue growth in all its major markets including the North America market with revenues up 45% to US$4.2M (2013 H1: US$2.9M), the EMEA market up 35% to US$3.5M (2013 H1: US$2.6M) and the Asia Pacific market including China up 57% to US$1.1M (2013 H1: US$0.7M).

 

The revenue for the period included US$1.4M (2013 H1: US$0.2M) from NetDimensions Healthcare, our new Healthcare division formed on the 1st March 2013 on the back of the acquisition of eHealthcareIT.

The growth was driven by increased revenue for our global secure SaaS offering, a full contribution from our new Healthcare division and growth in revenue from our expanded global services division ("GSD"). In addition, the Group ended the period with a strong deferred revenue balance of US$7.6M (2013 H1: US$5.5M), some 38% higher than the prior period balance.

 

The Group continues to focus on supplying software via its global secure SaaS offering and we are pleased to report that revenue from this product offering increased by 50% to US$3.9M (2013 H1: US$2.6M). The new expanded GSD performed well with revenues increasing by 88% in the period to US$1.5M (2013 H1: US$0.8M).

 

The Group's adjusted loss before tax, excluding net foreign exchange gain / (loss) (US$3K), intangible asset amortisation (US$0.2M) and non-cash share-based payments (US$0.2M), was US$2.0M (2013 H1: US$2.7M). NetDimensions' fully disclosed loss before tax reduced by 25% to US$2.4M (2013 H1: US$3.2M).

 

Cash used in operating activities was US$0.9M in the period (2013 H1: US$1.5M) as improvements in working capital helped to offset the impact of the loss. The Group's cash balance remained healthy at US$7.1M (2013 H1: US$10.2M).

 

 

Operations Review

 

In 2013 the Board commenced the implementation of the 3-year Business plan to substantially increase market share, targeting clients operating in high consequence industries within the Talent Management Systems ("TMS") market. A substantial part of the investment was completed in 2013 and the results for this period are the first since the completion of this investment.

 

I am pleased to report on the following progress:

 

· 32 new clients added in the period with a combined contracted value of US$3.8M, including Chase Bank Kenya Limited, Credit Corp Group Limited, Community Memorial Health System, PeaceHealth, University of Kansas Hospital, UAP Insurance and IDEXX Europe B.V.

· Number of active users were 4.7M at the end of the period (2013 H1: 2.8M), including up to 1M users at not-for-profit organisations

· Invoiced sales from new business was up 79% to US$3.4M (2013 H1: US$1.9M) representing 37% of total invoiced sales (2013 H1: 31%)

· The average deal size for direct new clients in the period increased to US$93K (2013 H1: US$63K), an increase of 48% over prior period

· Invoiced sales to clients in high-consequence industries represented 83% (2013 H1: 70%) of total invoiced sales for the period

· Positioned again as a 'Core Leader' in the 2014 release of the unique European learning and talent market insight report, Elearnity 9-Grid™ for Learning Management Systems (LMS)

 

To take advantage of the opportunity that increasing demand from clients operating in high-consequence industries offers, the Company has restructured and expanded its service offerings. The professional services team has been re-organised into a Global Services Division ("GSD") with a Global Head of Services running the division as a profit centre.

 

The Company believes there are substantial sales opportunities in expanding the service offerings to new and existing clients. To take advantage of this opportunity the GSD will be organised into several practices, each with its own sales target and business plan. The initial core practices will be the Implementation Practice, Added Value Practice (customisation, reporting, integration, and upgrades), Training Practice and Consulting Practice (deployment, analytics and portals).

 

Outlook

 

These numbers reflect the success of our Business plan implemented last year. The Investment phase for this has now been substantially completed such that the Company is well positioned to benefit from the many identified opportunities within our target markets. The Board will now focus on driving additional growth both organically and by selective acquisitions and we are confident of achieving further successes going forward.

 

NetDimensions is performing in line with current consensus analyst expectations and, with the Company gaining momentum, the Board expects further growth going forward. With the global talent management software sector growing by 17% in 2013 to $5bn+ (Bersin by Deloitte) and being projected to grow by a further 17% in 2014 to $6bn+, the Board will continue to explore new markets and opportunities for expansion.

3 ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial information, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were that same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, with the exception of changes in estimate that are required in determining the provision for income tax.

 

4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

 

There have been no changes in the risk management department since year end or in any risk management policies since year end.

The chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") has been identified as the executive directors of the Company. Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the CODM that are used to assess performance and allocate resources. The CODM considers the business from the geographic perspective, including North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"),Asia Pacific and Rest of the World, which are also the Group's reportable operating segments.

 

The Group's revenue is mainly derived from customers located in North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World, while the Group's facilities and other assets are located predominantly in North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World.

 

Segment performance is evaluated based on segment results, which is a measure of adjusted loss before income tax. The adjusted loss before income tax is measured consistently with the Group's loss before income tax, except that amortisation of intangible assets - customer base, unallocated corporate expenses, finance income, finance costs and impairment loss on available-for-sale financial assets are not allocated to individual segment.

 

Segment assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, accounts and other receivables, prepayments and deposits. Cash and bank balances for corporate use are excluded from segment assets.

14 BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

As part of the Group's strategy to become a premier global provider of talent management solutions for highly-regulated industries, on 1 March 2013, the Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement with an independent third party to acquire the business of eHealthcareIT at a consideration consisting of (i) US$2,000,000 in cash; (ii) 1,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company; and (iii) a contingent consideration calculated based on contracted sales of eHealthcareIT for the ten months ended December 2013, subject to a ceiling of US$500,000. The acquired business is engaged in providing e-learning and compliance solutions to the U.S. healthcare market. The acquisition was completed on 1 March 2013. After the acquisition, the eHealthcareIT business immediately became the Group's new dedicated division, NetDimensions Healthcare, providing talent, learning and compliance management solutions specifically to the healthcare market internationally.

 

The Group recognised the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that satisfy the recognition criteria at their fair value at the acquisition date in accordance with IFRS 3 (Revised). Accordingly, as at 31 December 2013, the Group completed the purchase price allocation and disclosed the details of consideration paid and payable for the acquisition and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as the goodwill resulted in the 2013 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated interim financial information do not have all information of business combination and disclosures required in the annual financial statement; they should be read in conjunction with the Group's financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2013.
