Chairman's statement
During the first half to 31 December 2016 the group has built on the momentum of the previous year. We have made good progress against the goals we had set ourselves and this is reflected in our much improved financial performance. Solid improvements in gross profit have been achieved and our generation of underlying EBITDA has increased markedly.
We maintain our aims to drive increased activity with existing customers, grow our active customer base and increase profitability whilst re-investing into developments that will drive future growth. We have well invested technology and distribution platforms, but will maintain our process of continual investment and improvement in order to provide even better experiences for customers and solutions to our brand partners. Following the investment in product selection during the prior year, working capital requirements have returned to low levels and cash generation has been positive.
The second half is traditionally stronger and whilst there is much to accomplish the group is performing in line with our expectations for the current financial year and we have a number of exciting new initiatives in place which will support our plans to grow.

Review of operations by the Chief Executive Officer
MySale Group Plc ('the group') has made excellent progress in the six months to 31 December 2016 (H1 FY17). Planned strategic initiatives have delivered another half of improved financial performance and positioned the group for further, profitable, growth.
The group's continued focus on customer engagement meant that the active customer base grew 19% and in turn online revenue, which represents over 90% of the group total, grew substantially, up 19%, to A$127.1 million (H1 FY16: A$107.0 million).
Total group revenue rose 7% to A$136.7 million (H1 FY16: A$128.2 million) which reflects the strong online growth referred to above, together with a planned reduction in lower margin offline revenue in the period. The group's focus on gross profit growth has delivered the increase of 17% to A$38.4 million (H1 FY16: A$32.7 million) which is underpinned by a 260 bp increase in gross margin to 28.1% (H1 FY16: 25.5%).
H1 FY17
| Growth vs FY16 | H1 FY16
| ||||||
A$ million | Revenue | Gross Profit | GP% | Revenue | Gross Profit | Revenue | Gross Profit | GP% |
Group | 136.7 | 38.4 | 28.1% | +7% | +17% | 128.2 | 32.7 | 25.5% |
ANZ | 112.3 | 32.8 | 29.2% | +3% | +18% | 109.5 | 27.9 | 25.5% |
S-E Asia | 17.4 | 4.5 | 25.8% | +12% | +16% | 15.5 | 3.9 | 24.9% |
ROW | 7.0 | 1.1 | 15.8% | +112% | +14% | 3.3 | 1.0 | 29.4% |
This improved trading performance is driven by the group's clear plan to prioritise the growth of gross profit and secure higher lifetime-value customers. This combined with a carefully controlled cost base drove the group's underlying EBITDA significantly higher to A$3.0 million (H1 FY16: A$1.8 million). The group's strategic plan has now grown underlying EBITDA in each of the last four half year periods.
The basis of the group's improved trading and financial performance this period has its foundations in 2015 when the group re-focused the business on its core aims of providing exceptional value in branded products to customers and exceptional inventory management solutions to brand partners within the group's three core territories. Whilst there is still much work to do and many opportunities to capture the results of H1 FY17 represent yet another step on the group's path of continued profitable growth.
During the period, and across all territories, the group continued to dedicate its marketing spend, which was circa 7% of revenue, almost exclusively into measurable, digital channels to attract and engage new and existing customers. Ongoing communications with existing customers has seen those loyal and engaged customers continue to spend with reliable regularity and with increasing order sizes.
Recently the group diversified that marketing spend, notably in ANZ, by increasing the emphasis of spend into customer re-engagement activity. Whilst it is very early in this diversification plan the results have been encouraging and marketing efficiency has improved.
Technology Development
The group has, as planned, increased capital expenditure to further develop its proprietary technology capabilities and will do so again in the second half of the financial year. During the period an important phase of work was reaching a conclusion which saw the release of a new and enhanced version of the group's technology platform in January 2017.
The new platform is now fully integrated across both the established flash sale and the nascent retail marketplace activities of the group. A focus of the development has been to enhance the group's data capabilities for better collection and analysis, improved machine learning and automation which in turn will drive improved customer experiences, increased revenue and more efficiency. The platform provides seamless user interaction across all devices and has a strong focus on the mobile buyer which represents 58% of the group's orders.
The group has continued to use its technology innovation for tactical improvements in the customer proposition which drive revenue, one example being the development of Our Pay. Our Pay is an instalment payment scheme which has the ability to increase purchasing with those customers accepted to the programme. The group's instalment solution was developed in house on the group's proprietary platform which has delivered a more flexible solution, which is better suited to the group's requirements than comparable third party solutions.
Brand and Strategic Partnerships
The group has acquired a number of new brand partners during the period, the most notable being the launch of a relationship with gilt.com, a US based online retailer which is part of The Hudson's Bay Company. This is the start of a strategic partnership which is anticipated to provide a significant product selection available to all the group's territories.
The strategic partnership launched with Sports Direct, as previously announced, for access to more than 150,000S SKU's of Sports Direct's inventory is now operational and the group commenced live sales on its retail marketplace in the second quarter. Given the size of this inventory the group is now in a period of planning, testing and optimising the merchandising and marketing of this inventory to the ANZ customer base. Forging partnerships with flagship retailers such as Gilt and Sports Direct is a strong endorsement of the group's capabilities in supporting brands in establishing new sales channels as well as inventory management.
Retail Marketplace
The group's nascent retail marketplace channel, which operates, on a supplier drop-ship inventory basis, in the product verticals of sports, home and gifting has the three ANZ websites of ''dealsdirect'' ''oo'' and ''topbuy'' acquired in H2 FY16 as its foundation. The new group technology platform described above means that the retail marketplace and flash channels operate on the same platform which allows for numerous advantages including: better sharing of data; more efficient use of resources; visibility of inventory performance; and reduced buying administration.
The creation of the retail marketplace platform represents a step change in the potential addressable audience and in future revenue opportunities. Designed with mobile commerce at its heart and to be simple and intuitive for vendors to use, this platform will further support our brand partners and their sales ambitions. Increasingly brands use marketplace solutions to support their international sales as it provides local knowledge, existing audiences, and ease of start-up to their expansion plans.
Operations
In FY16 the group implemented its strategy to increase the proportion of inventory that is obtained on 'own-buy', rather than on a consignment basis, and in this first half own-buy increased to 19% of online revenue, consistent with that strategy. This strategy supports deeper relationships with brand partners, slightly higher gross margins and wider product selection for customers. Own-buy activity is focused on staple, branded goods.
The combination of the group's sourcing, compelling consumer value, product selection and reliable service means that returned goods remain at industry leading levels of only 5% overall.
Australia & New Zealand
Within this operating territory the group has continued to successfully implement our strategic initiatives and improved gross profit, by 18% to A$32.8 million (H1 FY16: A$27.9 million) and gross margin to 29% (H1 FY16: 25%) whilst also growing revenue by 3% to A$112.3 million (H1 FY16: 109.5 million). The increase in AOV to c. $85 achieved in FY16 has been maintained by continued focus on a localised offer with strong merchandising, pricing and overall customer proposition.
As noted above the group's nascent retail marketplace sales channel was launched in this territory during the period and represents an opportunity to significantly increase the group's addressable market in the region. The first flagship retailer to join this marketplace was Sports Direct and they are now fully integrated to the group's platform which allows the process of marketing, merchandising and optimising the customer offer, from the c. 150,000 SKU's available, to start. The sporting goods market in ANZ is estimated to be worth in excess of A$3 billion annually and the strong value offer provided by Sports Direct combined with group's experience in connecting customers with brands is anticipated to create a compelling proposition in this vertical.
While the group's operation in ANZ is long established, it continues to provide attractive growth possibilities due to both the lower levels of internet penetration, in comparison to territories such as the United Kingdom and the USA, and this region's relative lack of off-price retailers.
South-East Asia
During the period this region had revenue growth of 12% to A$17.4 million (H1 FY16: A$15.5 million) and a 16% increase in gross profit to A$4.5 million (H1 FY16: A$3.8 million). The continued growth in revenue and profitability has been driven by the group's localisation plan for this territory which ensures that merchandising, pricing, payment and shipping solutions are all tailored to the needs of local consumers. The significant increase in AOV achieved in FY16 has been maintained.
The group's strategy for this territory has been to grow firstly the active customer base, so acquisition marketing is a priority, and then to build gross profitability and leverage this increasing scale to use resources more efficiently and achieve lower shipping rates. With a more profitable model now established, South-East Asia reinforces its position as a key element of the group's growth strategy.
In the medium to long term this region is anticipated to be increasingly significant as the group sees growth in both its customer base and demand for branded products, particularly European and USA brands. With a substantial addressable population, increasing disposable income, lack of off-price competition and high mobile penetration this region is well served by the group's strong value, branded sales offer and exceptional mobile commerce capability.
Rest of World
This territory comprises the group's operations within the United Kingdom, re-launched in the second half of FY15 and trading predominately under the Cocosa brand, which provides customers with compelling value in premium branded products.
The United Kingdom had a positive first half, as revenue increased by more than 100%, to A$7.0 million (H1 FY16: A$3.3 million) for the period. This significant growth was underpinned by increased numbers of active customers. Gross margin was lower than a year earlier but this is consistent with an early stage territory when margins are more likely to fluctuate as the business is developing the customer base. Full year margins are anticipated to be higher.
These are encouraging results and position the business for further growth in the current financial year. Whilst currently a relatively small part of the group's overall activities, this business operates in the UK's large and well developed online marketplace where engaged and active consumers can be acquired successfully and cost effectively. Given there is no online flash sale operator of scale in the UK the group has targeted becoming a leading operator in the country.
Outlook
The group made a strong start to the year with significantly improved financial performance and good progress against the strategic goals. Customers are buying in increasing numbers, group trading metrics remain stable or improving and both gross profit and underlying EBITDA moved forward again.
The group carries good momentum into the historically stronger second half of the year and has a number of exciting initiatives which will support the future growth plans.
Growth of underlying EBITDA for four consecutive half year periods provides an endorsement of the group's strategic plan. The board remains confident in the current year's prospects and that trading will be in line with the current range of analysts' projections of underlying EBITDA of A$8.5 to A$8.7 million.

Financial review by the Chief Financial Officer
Revenue and Gross Profit
For the half year ended 31 December 2016 group revenue increased by 7% to A$136.7 million (H1 FY16: A$128.2 million) and gross profit increased substantially by 17% to A$38.4 million (H1 FY16: A$32.7 million) as a result of the strategic plans implemented in H1 FY16.
Operating Expenses
The substantial increase in activity and gross profit led underlying operating expenses to increase 14% to A$35.4 million (H1 FY16: A$30.9 million) in the period. The group has a number of operating expenses which are incurred in a profile that is weighted to the first half of the financial year.
Profit/Loss before Tax
The underlying profit before tax for the period is A$0.6 million (H1 FY16: loss A$0.2 million) and the reported loss before tax for the period is $A1.4 million (H1 FY16: A$0.5 million). This reported loss is after the inclusion of a number of one-off and non-cash items which are shown in more detail in note 4 to the financial statements in order to provide greater insight as to the underlying profitability of the group.
Taxation
The group has recorded a tax benefit of A$1.0 million for the year (H1 FY16: tax expense of A$0.1 million) which represents an effective rate of tax which diverges from the group's long term guidance of c. 30%. This divergence arises due to various tax adjustments and timing differences. Full details are provided in note 5 to the financial statements. The group has total tax losses of A$31 million (H1 FY16: A$30 million) with the majority located in Australia. The entire tax loss has been recognised with the provision of a deferred tax asset of A$10.9 million (H1 FY16: A$11.0 million).
Balance Sheet, Cash and Working Capital
The group's closing cash balance was A$37.8 million (H1 FY16: A$30.0 million) and the net cash balance increased to A$29.1 million (H1 FY16: A$30.0 million) from A$27.5 million at the prior year end June 2016.
The significant increase in cash balances over the last 12 months principally results from the combination of cash generated from operations and an improved working capital profile less investment into the technology platform in line with the group's strategic plan.
Capital expenditure increased, as planned, during the period as the group invested in the development of its proprietary technology platform. Total capital expenditure was A$3.2 million (H1 FY16: A$1.5 million).
Banking Facilities
The group has significant cash balances, held principally with HSBC with whom the group also has trade finance multi option debt facilities of GBP£3.0 million. In addition the group has trade finance facilities of A$12.2 million with ANZ Bank. All facilities are renewed on an annual basis. Of the total facilities of A$18.0 million, A$9.3 million remains undrawn at the period-end.
Key Performance Indicators
The group manages its operations through the use of a number of key performance indicators (KPI's) such as revenue, revenue growth, gross margin percentage, average order value (AOV), average revenue per active customer (RPAC), and underlying EBITDA.
Underlying Basis
The group manages its operations by looking at the underlying EBITDA which excludes the impact of a number of one-off and non-cash items of a non-trading nature as this, in the Board's opinion, provides a more representative measure of the group's performance. A reconciliation between reported profit before tax and underlying EBITDA is included at note 4 to the financial statements. Included within these items during the period were share based payments, unrealised FX costs and one-off costs including items relating to prior period reorganisations and one-off transition costs arising from system migration.
