About iEnergizer

iEnergizer is one of the largest AIM listed independent, integrated software and service pioneers. iEnergizer is a high growth, digital publishing and technology leader set to benefit from the dual disruptive waves of big data and the cloud. This new leader was born out of the combination of a well-established, high growth, business process solution enterprise with the only scale provider of leading end-to-end digital transformation solutions to the media and publishing industries. The shift to the digital world is at a tipping point and iEnergizer has a unique position with cutting edge technology to serve as an enabler to its clients to help them during this transformational period.

 

Combining 12 years of experience and comprehensive capabilities across all industries and business functions, iEnergizer collaborates with clients to help them become high-performance businesses and provide significant cost advantage in their respective operations.

 

iEnergizer is a strategic outsourced service partner to various companies who are market leaders in their respective segments, across various industries including BFSI, Media & Entertainment, Publication, Content Process Solutions, Healthcare, Technology and FMCG.

 

iEnergizer provides services across the entire customer lifecycle and offers a comprehensive suite of Transaction Processing, Content & Publishing Process Outsourcing Solutions and Customer Management Services like Customer Acquisition, Customer Care, Technical Support, Billing & Collections, Dispute Handling and Market Research & Analytics using various platforms including Voice - Inbound & Outbound, Back-Office support, Online Chat, Mail Room and other web services.

 

 

Chairman's Statement

 

I am pleased to report the iEnergizer interim figures for the six month period to 30 September 2013. Following the acquisition of Aptara in 2012, iEnergizer has successfully integrated the business extending its best practice approach offered within its BPO operations to the content transformation solutions provided by Aptara. This process has transformed the Company into a best-in-class, high growth, high margin leader offering a full suite of content transformation solutions and business process solutions focused on the media, publishing and video gaming industries.

 

iEnergizer has a strong track record of financial delivery, much of which has been attributable to organic growth. The Company's focus remains on higher margin work in the non-voice based processes including legal process outsourcing, XBRL and content technology.

 

 iEnergizer has continued to benefit from the long-term relationships we have with our blue chip client base. We have approximately 350 active clients and the average relationship length across our top ten clients is 8 years. We are deeply embedded in our clients' business critical processes. The strength of these relationships has led to a pipeline of sizeable new contracts which have been won during the period, a number of which are due to commence during the second half the financial year.

 

 

Financial Overview

Revenue for the six month period ended 30 September 2013 increased by 1% to $72.8m (6 months ended 30 September 2012: $72.1m). Operating profit fell modestly by 1.8% to $16.8m (6 months ended 30 September 2012: $17.1m), as operating margins, which are often second half weighted, softened slightly to 23.1% (6 months ended 30 September 2012: 23.7%).

 

Following the refinancing, announced on 2 May 2013, the interest rate payable by the Company on its banking facilities increased marginally. As a result of this increased charge, profit after tax reduced to $9.5m (6 months ended 30 September 2012: $12.5m).

 

Net debt stands at $113m as a result of the acquisition financing. The Board does not propose to pay an interim dividend as it looks to pay down the debt which resulted from the acquisition financing.

 

 

Business Review

The period under review has seen significant activity and we are moving ahead satisfactorily. The business comprises of three core divisions:

· Content delivery

· Back office services

· Real time processing

 

Content delivery

The content delivery division was borne out of the Aptara acquisition in February 2012. The division is a global content technology solutions leader as it is the only scale provider of end-to-end solutions across digital content production, publishing, distribution and technology development. Key to the division's success is the ability to take source content from any format and transform it for distribution through any medium.

 

Our core content delivery business performed strongly with revenues of $51.6m, an increase of 9.8% compared to the same period last year. Content delivery with its end-to-end transformational services now represents almost 70% of our revenues. With the continued rise of digital media and the popularity of video gaming, we expect this strong growth trend to continue.

 

Back office services

Back office services offers more traditional BPO services across multiple industries and geographies. The division's strength lies in its focus on quality and execution. As a result, the division has over recent reporting periods been rationalising certain lower margin revenue streams to focus on delivering services the high margin BPO activities.

 

Revenues in back office services reduced to $14.5m, down 26.9% as the rationalisation away from lower margin contracts continued through the period.

 

Real time processing

Working hand-in-hand with content delivery, real time delivery requires the company to be able to deliver content across a range of lap tops, smart phones and tablets. The US remains a key market but Europe is becoming increasingly important. Demand for the Company's services is driven by the digitalisation process. The digitialisation process is not limited to mobile devices and cuts across all industries and consumer and enterprise behavior.

 

Real time processing also performed strongly with revenues of $7.8m, up 24.3% when compared to the comparative period.

 

Current Trading and Outlook

Our robust performance was driven by the fact that we are deeply embedded within our clients' business critical processes. This has led to a high proportion of recurring revenues and best in class margins. We believe there is significant opportunity for us to continue to expand the business further using this approach. Trading is in-line with market expectation for the full year figures to March 2014, as we continue to grow the content delivery business.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

Management currently identifies the Group's three services lines real time processing, back office services and content delivery as operating segments on the basis of operations. These operating segments are monitored and strategic decisions are made on the basis of adjusted segment operating results.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates the Group's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by reportable segments. The Group's reportable segments are as follows:

 

1. Real time processing

2. Back office services

3. Content delivery

4. Others

 

The measurement of each segment's revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. In addition, two minor operating segments, for which the quantitative thresholds have not been met, are currently combined below under 'Others'. Segment information can be analysed as follows for the reporting periods under review:

These non-current financial assets and liabilities, current financial assets and liabilities have been recorded at their respective carrying amounts as the management considers the fair values to be not materially different from their carrying amounts recognised in the statement of financial positions as these are expected to realise within one year from the reporting dates. Derivative financial instruments, recorded at fair value through profit and loss, are recorded at their respective fair values on the reporting dates.

 

 

12. FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

No financial assets/liabilities have been valued using level 1 and 3 fair value measurements.

 

The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

13. BORROWINGS

 

The Company on 1 May 2013, along with one of its subsidiary, entered into USD 135,000,000 six year senior secured term loan facility with Jefferies Finance LLC which has been utilised to refinance and pay off in full the outstanding loans relating to the acquisition of Aptara.

14. ESTIMATES

The preparation of interim financial statements require 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 these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2013.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2013.
