Eran Itzhak, CEO of Bagir Group Ltd, said:

"These results are in line with the revised guidance given in September. In 2015 we focused on managing the process of realigning and restructuring the business under our recovery plan. We have already reduced overhead expenses by c.30% and we have identified further significant cost saving opportunities. This, together with the re-shaping of our manufacturing base will enable us to compete effectively for new contracts from high volume retailers.

Quality, unique design and innovation have always been at the heart of Bagir's tailored products and they will continue to be our key points of differentiation together with more than 50 years of servicing large scale orders from abroad to leading retailers in the UK and US, a very specific skill. While 2015 was a very challenging year for the business, a key highlight was the 17% increase in orders from new and existing customers in the UK (excluding our ex-largest client)."

The annual report and financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2015 (the "Report and Accounts") will shortly be made available from the Company's website, www. http://www.bagir.com in accordance with AIM Rule 20.

Strategic and financial review

Introduction

2015 was a challenging year for the Company. The loss of a substantial proportion of revenue from its previous largest customer, as announced in May 2014, has meant the focus for the Company has been upon managing the impact of this reduction in revenues and establishing a new base from which the Company can develop.

To this end, a restructuring programme was implemented which has reduced the Group's overhead expenses by c. 30% and the Group's manufacturing base is re-shaped to increase capacity and maximise the opportunity to operate from customs/tariff free geographies.

Importantly, during 2015 the Company added new customers and going forward the Group's new shape will support servicing high volume orders from leading retailers in the UK, US and Australia.

Operational review

The step change in revenues has necessitated a change in the shape and cost base of the business. A comprehensive review was undertaken which has resulted in reduction in the ongoing cost base. These savings have come from a reduction in personnel in the UK and in the headquarters, relocation to smaller offices in the UK, reduced director fees, lower PLC costs and other overhead costs. In addition, since the appointment of Eran Itzhak in October last year, the Company has identified significant opportunities to reduce the cost base further without impacting upon the capabilities of the Group.

The Group is now primarily focused on three factories:

- Egypt, a fully owned factory servicing mainly the US market as it has a customs free status for the US market which creates an additional saving of between 10-20%;

- Vietnam, a sub-contracted factory which is currently being supported by a new sub-contractor with additional capacity for small orders and proven service standards. The Company services both the UK and US market from Vietnam expecting new free trade agreements for both markets during 2017; and

- Ethiopia, a factory in which the Company acquired a 50% shareholding in November 2014, currently servicing its domestic market but being prepared to begin providing product to both the US and UK as it too enjoys customs free status to both these markets

All three manufacturing centers are being expanded to meet future demand. The development of the production facility in Ethiopia is progressing well and the first production line for export is expected to begin in H1 2016. Two international retailers have approved the line to produce trousers, a good simple product to begin commercial exports with. Once the factory can start to generate products on a reasonable scale, we anticipate that the facility will give Bagir a strong competitive advantage as a result of its duty free export status for sales to both the EU and US, its competitive production costs and local governmental support for the textile industry.

Bagir has been producing high quality, innovative tailored garments for leading US and UK retailers for the past 50 years. In that time, the Company has acquired significant expertise in providing attractive tailored clothing to meet the needs of its diverse client base. In particular, the Group understands the requirements of large retailers and servicing their needs from international bases.

The marketing strategy going forward will be to focus on servicing the higher volume retailers, offering competitive price points as well as providing premium products alongside the core offering.

New banking agreement

As announced on 4 January 2016, the Company successfully agreed with its banks on the amendment of the repayment schedule and extension of the repayment term until 31 December 2020, reclassification of the short-term loan to long-term, waiver of covenant tests at both 31 December 2015 and 30 June 2016 and a revised set of covenants have been agreed on more favorable terms to the Company than previously. This was an extremely important agreement and provides the Company with increased financial security from which to continue with its recovery plan.

As at 31 December 2015, net debt amounted to $13.8m compared with $12.5m at 31 December 2014. Net debt increased as a result of the reduction in cash and cash equivalents due to the loss in the reported period.

Financial results

As previously announced in September 2015, the results in the second half of the year were significantly below the first half, contributing to a full year adjusted loss before tax of $(7.9)m and adjusted EBITDA of $(4.3)m ("adjusted EBITDA" is calculated as adjusted operating profit but before deducting depreciation of property, plant and equipment). This was caused by competitive pressures in the market and the reduction in sales, higher production costs, lower gross margin and redundancy and impairment costs related to the recovery plan.

Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2015 was $75.2m. This was a $21.8m reduction on the comparable period last year mitigated by increased revenue from other customers in the UK, the US and Australia.

The gross margin for the year ended 31 December 2015 was 9.8% compared with 17.4% for 2014. This decline was mainly attributable to the reduction in business from the Company's largest customer, negative currency impact of the devaluation of the pound\dollar exchange rate, higher production costs associated with the production changes in the Far East and markdowns of inventories and impairment of intangible assets ($1.4m) related to the recovery plan.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $9.5m in the period (2014: $8.7m), mainly because of direct selling logistic costs attributed to changes in production sites and shipment terms. In addition, development expenses decreased to $2.2m in the period (2014: $3.2m) as part of the recovery plan.

Adjusted operating (loss) income and profit (loss) before tax (before $2.4m amortisation of intangible assets (2014: $2.0m) and before $1.4m impairment of intangible assets related to the recovery plan for the year ended 31 December 2015 was $(4.9)m and $(7.9)m respectively, compared with $3.3.m and $(0.5)m respectively for 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended 31 December 2015 was $(4.3)m (2014: $3.7m). Basic and fully diluted earnings (loss) per share for the period was $(0.23) (2014: $(0.09). As at 31 December 2015, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $7.5m compared with $11.4m at 31 December 2014.

Board changes

At the start of November 2015 Eran Itzhak was appointed as Chief Executive Officer. Eran joined Bagir in 2011 and previously held the role of Vice President of Business Development & Innovation. Eran has been integral to the establishment and the ongoing management of the Company's Ethiopian and Vietnamese manufacturing operations as well as the implementation of the Company's wider recovery plan and future strategy. In addition, Eran has been involved with identifying new business opportunities for the Company in Australia. Eran was appointed to the board of the Company on 30 November 2015. Eran's appointment followed Danny Taragan's resignation as Chief Executive Officer of the Company in order to pursue other business interests.

Other board changes occurred during the year and Keith Hamill (Non-Executive Chairman) and George Adams (Independent Non-Executive Director) both stepped down on 30 September 2015, waiving notice entitlements under their appointment agreements. Tessa Laws, formerly an Independent Non-Executive Director, took up the role of Non-Executive Chairman. Donald Stewart was appointed as an Independent Non-Executive Director on 12 October 2015.

Finally, on 28 October 2015, Udi Cohen, the Company's Chief Financial Officer took the role of Deputy Chief Executive Officer in addition to his service to the Company as Chief Financial Officer.

Outlook

There is still some way to go but the Company has a clear strategy for re-establishing the business. The Company's cost base has been restructured, the products are strong and demonstrating their appeal to new customers, and over the next few years we expect our Ethiopian factory to become an increasingly important factor in the coming months and years.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (SELECTED)

a. Basis of presentation of the financial statements:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS as adopted by the EU").

The financial statements have been prepared on a cost basis, other than derivative financial instruments.

The Company has elected to present profit or loss items using the function of expense method.

In 2015 new standards and amendments became effective but they had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

b. Assessment of going concern:

In 2015 the Group's financial results suffered due to a reduction of a substantial proportion of revenue from its previous largest customer, as announced in May 2014 which, among others, resulted in a loss from operations. Management has taken a number of remedial actions in 2015 and ongoing in 2016, including the implementation of a recovery plan which consists of focusing the core activities on larger sales addition to an efficiency and cost reduction scheme. The Company also signed amendments to its financing agreements with banks to extend the maturities of loans and revise financial covenants. The Group is acting to increase revenues through plans to expand operations with existing and new-customers predominantly in the US, the UK and Australia.

The Board of Directors has considered the principal risks and uncertainties of the business, the trading forecasts prepared by management covering a twelve month period following the approval of the financial statements (including the projected effects of the remedial actions described above) and the resources available to meet the Group's obligations for the aforementioned period. After taking all of the above factors into consideration, the Board of Directors has concluded that it is appropriate to apply the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

NOTE 3:- INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY

The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, holds an investment in a company in Egypt that was jointly owned and controlled with another Egyptian company ("the Egyptian partner"). On 1 January 2009, the Company signed an agreement with the Egyptian partner whereby the control and management will pass to the Company for a period of six and half years starting 1 January 2009 in consideration of the payment of 4% of the sales revenues of the Egyptian company to the Egyptian partner but not more than $ 900 thousand a year and not less than $ 800 thousand a year for 2009 and 2010, and a fixed amount of $ 1 million for each of the years 2011 to 2015. Over the term of the agreement, the control and management of the Egyptian company will be in the hands of the Company and it shall bear all costs and entitled to all profits relating to the Egyptian company. As a result of this agreement, since 1 January 2009, the Company fully consolidates the financial statements of the Egyptian company.

On 1 July 2015, the Company signed an extension of the agreement with the Egyptian partner whereby the Company will continue to control and manage the subsidiary for an additional period of 7 years starting 1 July 2015, in consideration for a fixed annual payment of $ 800 thousand. Accordingly, the Company will continue to fully consolidate the financial statements of the Egyptian subsidiary. At that date, the Company's management estimated that the fair value of the assets of the Egyptian company approximated their carrying amount. The Company recognised a liability in the amount of the present value of the future fixed annual payments discounted at rate of 15.7 % and, simultaneously, recognised an intangible asset ("controlling rights") in the amount of $ $3,446 thousand that is amortised over the term of the agreement (7 years).
