Lombard Risk Management plc
("Lombard Risk" or the "Company")
Interim Results
Lombard Risk Management plc (AIM: LRM), the leading dedicated global provider of collateral management and regulatory reporting solutions, announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2017.
Financial highlights
· First-half revenue of £12.7m (H1 2016: £15.2m), down 16.4% largely due to a temporary fall in services revenues and some delays in contract signings
· Order book of contracted revenue at £9.2m (H1 2016: £9.2m)
· Annually recurring revenue up 4.9% to £6.4m (H1 2016: £6.1m)
· Sales bookings for the period down 21.9% on the previous year, with software licence bookings down 63.6%
· Negative EBITDA of £3.5m (H1 2016: positive £1.5m) owing to lower revenue and planned increase in investment
· Loss before tax of £5.9m (H1 2016: loss of £0.1m)
· Capitalised development costs in the period totalled £2.7m (H1 2016: £2.8m)
· Loss per share of 1.47p (H1 2016: loss per share of 0.05p)
· Cash at period end of £0.4m (30 September 2016: £6.9m) with no debt (30 September 2016: £nil) and undrawn facilities of £4.5m (H1 2016: £0.5m)
Operational highlights
· New client wins including first mandate for the foreign branch reporting of a Taiwanese bank
· First client win for Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority reporting
· Six new AgileREPORTER® clients signed in EMEA, including three new logos
· Extension of partnership network with DTCC and new partnerships with SmartDX and Elixium
· Continued build-out of Birmingham technology centre
· Record pipeline going into the second half of the year
Alastair Brown, CEO of Lombard Risk, commented:
"We recognise that this has been a challenging first half for Lombard Risk. A number of opportunities we had hoped to secure in the period remain in the pipeline as market distractions such as MiFID II caused companies to delay on committing to new projects. This leaves us much to do in the second half, and converting our strong visible pipeline will be crucial to us meeting market forecasts.
"However, with the size and quality of our pipeline at an all-time high, we remain confident this can be achieved. During the period strong foundations have been put in place, with an improved salesforce, a new development centre in Birmingham, and a renewed effort to target new business as well as extant cross-selling opportunities. We expect delivery of a strong second half will enable the Company to meet its stated objectives of being cash generative. We believe this positions Lombard Risk well for the future and we look forward to updating the market on progress during the second half of the financial year."

Chief Executive Officer's statement
A number of factors have combined to make the first half of the current financial year slower than in the same period of the previous year. However, we created a large number of good opportunities, many of which we are confident can be realised in the second half of this financial year. A number of geographies faced unexpected headwinds, resulting in banks' resources being tied up in other commitments and ultimately causing slippage in our pipeline.
As indicated in our AGM statement in July, this slower first half was anticipated and we expect the full year 2018 to be significantly weighted towards the second half, in what is traditionally a second half weighted business. Business development activity to build a sustainable pipeline going forward has been extremely intensive during the period, and I am pleased to report that the current pipeline is at an all-time high. This underpins the Board's confidence in the ultimate outcome of the year, recovering to our stated ambition of becoming cash generative.
Continued investment in the salesforce
Building a professional salesforce was a major contributor to our success in the prior financial year, improving discipline around servicing clients through upsell and early renewals. The first half of the current year has seen this focus extend to new business development by investing in sales talent with dedicated financial services experience, capable of increasing the rate at which we generate new opportunities in addition to mining the existing customer base.
This investment did not occur early enough to generate results in terms of securing new business in the first half of this year and as such was in part responsible for the shortfall in activity which resulted in a decline in bookings for software licence sales of 63.6% compared to the corresponding period last year. In addition, our services revenues experienced a temporary decline, as two major long-term projects were completed and there was a hiatus while resources were redeployed. However, this continued investment has now seen a major uptick in the twelve-month rolling pipeline and it is this that gives the Board confidence in the second half of the year. Our concerted efforts on this front saw a number of new regulatory reporting opportunities added to the pipeline with some closing in the first half. The equally intensive work on the collateral side of the business has taken longer to flow through given the nature of these opportunities and the longer lead times. However, this process is now industrialised, and the pipeline for the second half is not only higher quality than previous periods, but also, as mentioned above, at an all-time high, with the global pipeline up 44% since the beginning of the financial year.
Success in Asia and Australia
We commented on the challenges faced in Asia at the year end, and set out a plan for reinvesting in a region where Lombard Risk has numerous clients, and has enjoyed previous success. We are pleased to report that this investment has started to deliver, with new regulatory reporting wins displacing the competition and winning new logos in both Hong Kong and Singapore. Further, we have built on our extensive experience supporting Indian and Chinese banks with their foreign branches in Hong Kong and Singapore, by winning our first mandate for the foreign branch of a Taiwanese bank.
Lombard Risk has been working closely with existing clients and other industry participants in anticipation of the new Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority ("APRA") regulations due to come into force in 2018 and 2019. We were delighted to close our first APRA client in the first half, and are looking forward to supporting existing clients with their Australian branches as well as demonstrating the powerful capabilities AgileREPORTER® offers to new prospects seeking a multi-geography, multi-regulator solution.
The new team is now fully established developing our business in Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and Australia, and with the new Singapore MAS 610 regime, in addition to the APRA changes, we see significant opportunities in the region going forward. We have yet to enjoy the success with COLLINE® in Asia Pacific that we have enjoyed in other regions, and again the new team brings significant collateral experience which is now adding to the regional pipeline for this product line. We anticipate Asia Pacific being an increasingly important region for Lombard Risk going forward.
Market-leading products
On the regulatory reporting side of the business, and having completed the investment necessary to start the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Application ("OFSAA") partnership, Lombard Risk's attention has been focussed on developing our flagship product, AgileREPORTER®, for our loyal 200-plus reporting client base and new customers alike. Following our success in FY 2017 deploying AgileREPORTER® to support North American clients needing to file FR 2052a returns, we initiated a European campaign, immediately signing up three customers to the upgrade programme in addition to winning three new logos, including the first to purchase our cloud-based version of the reporting solution. With the five Oracle OFSAA and Lombard Risk customers already taking the flagship solution, in addition to our advances in Australia utilising the AgileREPORTER® platform, the product development momentum is significant, and bodes well for the second half.
On the collateral management side of our business, we have continued to build out the sophisticated Exchange Traded Derivatives ("ETD") solution that we added to the array of asset classes that COLLINE® supports last year. Working in close partnership with one of the industry's largest prime brokers has allowed us to develop a new module which will meet the ETD requirements of any market participant, with the added benefit of COLLINE®'s cross-product margining capabilities, which remain a key differentiator.
Externally, we have been actively building our network of partnerships, adding SmartDX and Elixium and extending our relationship with DTCC to ensure that COLLINE® remains at the heart of the post-trade ecosystem. This continued investment in our product gives clients and prospects alike full confidence that Lombard Risk remains fully committed to keeping abreast of the rapid evolution of the derivatives landscape.
Partnership revenue
We experienced delays to building further on our successful partnership with Oracle in the first half. With AgileREPORTER®, as an OFSAA on top of the Oracle Financial Services Data Foundation ("FSDF"), now live and filing reports at a number of our five existing clients, both parties have been working tirelessly to build pipeline in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, which we believe will come through in H2. These enterprise-wide data projects are much bigger than the individual regulator date-driven opportunities for which Lombard Risk has traditionally provided solutions. Consequently, sales lead times are both longer and less predictable than is typical, with potential clients exercising caution as they consider major transformational investment decisions. That said, the volume of opportunities has risen dramatically over the last year, and we remain optimistic about the long-term value of this key partnership.
Partnerships remain a key component of our growth plan, and in addition to the strategic relationships we have made to extend the collateral ecosystem, we are working with several other potential partners in each region to increase the reach of our solutions. We look forward to providing further updates regarding these developments in due course.
A world-class development centre
A key objective for the current year is to build out our new development centre in Birmingham. This ambitious project remains on track, with over forty engineers now in place, and hiring proceeding as expected to reach full operational capability by June 2018. The first software deliveries have been completed, with two COLLINE® releases shipped, and the AgileREPORTER® Analysis Centre functionality developed in time for the launch at our highly successful regulatory reporting conferences in New York and London in September.
Amongst the many benefits the Birmingham Technology Centre brings the firm is an advanced user experience capability, which is developing the next generation of intuitive, time-saving interfaces for both our product lines. This is allowing Lombard Risk to offer the best in class of modern financial and regulatory technology, married to our extensive historical investment in the product itself, backed up with our track record of delivery. We expect this to continue to be a differentiator in the modern financial services software marketplace.
Financial review
Recognised revenue of £12.7m (H1 2016: £15.2m) was down 16.4% against the comparable period last year. Annually recurring revenues for the half year totalled £6.4m (H1 2016: £6.1m) representing 50.4% (H1 2016: 40.1%) of total revenues. Regulatory Reporting revenues rose by 8.5% to £7.7m (H1 2016: £7.1m) while Risk Management revenues fell by 38.3% to £5.0m (H1 2016: £8.1m). The fall in revenues was not restricted to one region: EMEA revenues fell by 25% to £5.7m (H1 2016: £7.6m); North America revenues were flat at £5.2m (H1 2016: £5.2m); and Asia Pacific revenues fell by 29.2% to £1.7m (H1 2016: £2.4m).
Net cash at 30 September 2017 was £0.4m (H1 2016: £6.9m) as a result of both the disappointing revenue performance and the continued investment in both the Company's products and infrastructure as envisaged at the time of our fundraise in the summer of 2016. This has resulted in a loss before tax of £5.9m (H1 2016: £0.1m). Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") were negative £3.5m (H1 2016: positive £1.5m). As reported in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company has in place a revolving credit facility of £4.0m with Barclays Bank Plc in addition to an overdraft facility of £0.5m to cover short-term funding needs.
Headcount as at 30 September 2017 was 337 (H1 2016: 378) as the Company has rationalised its resources across a number of key areas, in particular product and development.
The Company's accounting policies allow for the capitalisation and amortisation of certain software development costs. Capitalised development costs in the period totalled £2.7m (H1 2016: £2.8m) representing 43.5% (H1 2016: 46.6%) of total technology and support costs. The increase in total technology costs reflects both the continued investment in the Company's next-generation products and costs associated with the transition of certain development activities to the new software development facility in Birmingham.
The capitalisation of development costs affects the interpretation of the financial performance of the Company. Internally the Company's operating budget and monthly management accounts measure financial performance assuming no such capitalisation. Applying this assumption would result in negative EBITDA for the six-month period of £6.1m (H1 2016: negative EBITDA of £1.2m) and a loss before tax of £6.5m (H1 2016: £1.4m).
Focussing on costs
As anticipated, the migration to Birmingham, conducted against a background of intensive delivery commitments, has resulted in transition costs which will largely fall in the current fiscal year. Honouring our promises to clients and ensuring comprehensive knowledge transfer are our top priorities, and are vital for the future of the firm. As anticipated, the migration has already allowed us to streamline some aspects of our product and technology organisation, and we anticipate future cost savings both from similar organisational simplification, as well as improvements in quality arising from closer interaction with the customer services and implementation teams.
Across the firm, we have taken opportunities to streamline costs after the planned period of investment in the previous fiscal year. This cost management process is progressing according to expectations and the Board and the Executive Committee remain fully focussed on transitioning the firm to cash profitability, and we have taken additional cost reduction action to partially offset the revenue delays experienced during the period under review.
Outlook
We recognise that this has been a challenging first half for Lombard Risk. A number of opportunities we had hoped to secure in the period remain in the pipeline as market distractions such as MiFID II caused companies to delay on committing to new projects. This leaves us much to do in the second half, and converting our strong visible pipeline will be crucial in us meeting market forecasts.
However, with the size and quality of our pipeline at an all-time high, we remain confident this can be achieved. During the period strong foundations have been put in place, with an improved salesforce, a new development centre in Birmingham, and a renewed effort to target new business as well as extant cross-selling opportunities. We believe this positions Lombard Risk well for the future and delivery of a strong second half will enable the Company to meet its stated objectives of being cash generative. We look forward to updating the market on progress during the second half of the financial year.

Notes to the interim report
For the six months ended 30 September 2017
1. Basis of preparation
This interim report was approved by the Board on 24 October 2017.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2017. They have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretations as at 30 September 2017, as adopted by the European Union. They do not include any of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017.
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires the Board to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts of statement of financial position items at the period end and the reported amount of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements that are not readily apparent from other sources. However, the actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
This condensed consolidated financial information does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2017 were approved on 23 May 2017. These accounts, which contain an unqualified audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 and which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Loss per share
Basic loss per share has been calculated by dividing the loss on ordinary activities after taxation attributable to the owners of the Parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 0.5p each ("Ordinary Shares") in issue during each period.
Potential Ordinary Shares are treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to Ordinary Shares would decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing operations. As potential Ordinary Shares for 30 September 2017 would decrease the loss per share, they are therefore not included in diluted earnings per share.
Unaudited Six months ended 30 September 2017 | Unaudited Six months ended 30 September 2016 | Audited Year ended 31 March 2017 | |
Loss for the period and basic and diluted [loss] attributable to Ordinary Shareholders (£000) | (5,895) | (188) | (700) |
Weighted average number of Ordinary Shares | 400,593,920 | 354,589,248 | 380,046,607 |
Loss per share (pence) | (1.47) | (0.05) | (0.18) |
Effect of dilutive share options: |

Adjusted weighted average number of Ordinary Shares | 400,593,920 | 354,589,248 | 380,046,607 |
Diluted loss per share (pence) | (1.47) | (0.05) | (0.18) |
3. Taxation
The taxation charge is based on the effective tax rate expected to apply for the full year, taking into account the anticipated benefit of brought forward tax losses. The effective tax rate is higher than the standard tax rate, principally as a result of there being no movement in the deferred tax asset recognised within the Group. In addition, the charge for this interim period includes £1,500 of current tax paid by overseas subsidiaries. The cash flow statement includes receipt of the £698,000 of R&D tax credit claimed in the 31 March 2016 tax returns as an adjustment in respect of prior periods.
