CPT Global Limited & Controlled Entities - Half-Year Report

Directors' Report

Your directors submit the financial report of the consolidated group for the half year ended 31 December 2016.

DIRECTORS

The names and details of the company's directors in office during the half year and until the date of this report are as follows. Directors were in office for this entire period:

  • Fred S Grimwade (Non-Executive Chairman)

  • Gerard (Gerry) Tuddenham (Managing Director)

  • Alan Baxter (Non-Executive Director)

  • David Lynch (CEO Australia and Asia)

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The strategic, structural, cultural and operational changes we began implementing in FY16 are delivering results with revenue growing in Australia and segment gross profit before tax growing in all regions on the back of revenue growth, strong margins and cost cutting and efficiencies. The highlights for the half year are:

  • 23% revenue growth in the Australian region and 44% growth in segment gross profit before tax. Revenue growth has come from the banking, Federal Government and telecommunications sectors as projects have been extended and expanded and new projects commenced. There has been a small increase in percentage margins achieved, however, we have benefited from a full 6 months from 2 high margin contracts which commenced during the comparative period and have grown substantially in the following 12 months;

  • 74% growth in segment gross profit before tax in North America on 1% growth in revenue. A risk reward contract in North America has delivered 33% of the region’s revenue for the half year and 43% of the margin. In addition, the segment gross profit before tax at 31 December 2015 was negatively impacted by the $0.6m in WIP at AMEX that had to be provided for on completion of that contract;

  • 4% reduction in unallocated overhead costs. Costs and efficiency have been a focus for the business across all regions and head office. This has contributed to the growth in segment gross profit before tax and the reduction in unallocated overheads; and

  • An EBIT loss of $0.14m at 31 December 2016 is a $2.7m improvement on the comparative period.

The European business had a difficult 6 months with the Italian banking sector undergoing structural changes which impacted IT budgets and projects in progress at three clients and a project at a global bank was delayed on several occasions before work began in November 2016.

Conditions in Europe are a challenge for CPT and the Managing Director, Gerry Tuddenham, spent 4 months there in FY17 restructuring the business, cutting costs and rebuilding the sales pipeline. Gerry returned to Europe in February 2017 to continue to build the sales pipeline and close sales opportunities.

We still have much work to do to ensure we deliver a consistent return to our shareholders and can start paying dividends again. We are optimistic that the momentum we have built from FY16 into FY17 will continue as the sales pipelines in Australia and North America are strong and the cost base in Europe has been reduced to a more sustainable level while we rebuild the business.

Financial Performance

CPT’s revenue for the half year ended 31 December 2016 was $14.4 m, a 13% increase on the prior corresponding half year’s revenue of $12.8m. International revenue fell 6.5% to $4.2m (2015: $4.5m) while Australian revenue increased by 23% to $10.1m (2015: $8.2m). EBIT for the half year was a loss of $0.12m (2015: $2.8m loss).

The Company’s current ratio has declined but remains positive at 1.0:1 (2015 1.2:1).

CPT posted a net loss after tax of $0.3m for the half year ended 31 December 2016 (2015: $2.5m loss).

Earnings per share and diluted earnings per share was (0.9) and (0.8) cents per share (2015: (6.8) and (6.7) cents per share).

CPT Global Limited & Controlled Entities - Half-Year Report

Directors' Report (cont.)

Financial Position

CPT Global’s balance sheet reflected net tangible assets of $1.2m as at 31 December 2016 ($1.5m at 30 June 2016):

  • Trade and other receivables has decreased $0.7m as the revenue in Australia during December decreases due to the Christmas shutdown at clients. Revenue in December was $0.6m lower than June 30 2016.

  • Unbilled revenue (WIP) has increased by $0.4m as a risk/reward contract at a health insurer in the United States was in progress at the period end and invoicing commenced in February 2017. At 31 December 2016, $1.3m of WIP relates to risk/reward contracts ($0.8m at 30 June 2016). Australian WIP is consistent with WIP at 30 June 2016 and WIP in Asia decreased by $0.3m on the invoice and receipt of cash from a risk/reward project at a Chinese bank.

  • The $0.9m decrease in trade and other payables is largely due to the payment of tax liabilities in Canada and a decrease in the number of consultants billing in the international regions in November and December when compared to May and June 2016 and the decrease in hours billed in December in Australia due to the Christmas shutdown at clients. This has resulted in a decrease in payments due to consultants, employees & government.

  • Borrowings at period end relate to the debtor funding provided by Scottish Pacific against the debtors of the Australian business. The increase in the facility utilised is due to the growth in revenue in Australia.

Cash Flow

CPT’s net cash outflow for the half year resulted in a decrease in cash holdings to $2.5m at 31 December 2016 ($3.0m 30 June 2016). The decrease in cash is largely due to the loss for the half-year and the increase in WIP on risk/reward contracts where the costs of delivering the services have already been paid.

Our strong cash management processes, Australian debtor funding facility, early payment programs with clients in North America, delays in finalising Canadian tax obligations with the Canadian tax authorities and the 22% growth in revenue in Australia all contributed to CPT being able to manage the cash flow challenges in the first half of FY17.

Capital Management

No dividends will be declared for the half year to 31 December 2016.

Our debtor funding facility has a limit of $5m of which $1.1m was outstanding at 31 December 2016.

During the remainder of FY17 our focus will be on growing cash flow from operations to minimise the use of debtor facilities and the associated costs so that we can rebuild our cash position and start paying dividends again.

The Outlook

The Australian business is expected to continue to grow, particularly within the banking sector, federal government departments and semi-government organisations. The growth in revenue in these sectors in Australia in FY16 has continued into FY17 and the sales pipeline is strong. Margin pressures continue in some industry sectors with increases in volume compensating for the lower margins.

Revenue in the North American region is expected to grow in the fourth quarter of FY17 as a very strong pipeline of sales is beginning to be contracted. Due to the strength of the pipeline and the size and quality of the opportunities, CPT’s priority in the second half of FY17 is to close opportunities in North America as these have the potential to have the greatest impact on the FY17 results. Resources have been reallocated to assist the North American team convert the opportunities and deliver the projects.

In Asia we will continue to use our partner model in the short term to identify and convert opportunities. The pipeline in Asia is encouraging and projects will continue to be undertaken on more of a reactive basis in the short term.

There is still uncertainty about the EU economy which has been exacerbated by the USA’s talk of retreating to a protectionist trade policy, concerns with the Italian banking sector, terrorist attacks and Brexit. Structural changes in the Italian banking sector will continue to limit the opportunities in the mainframe business although opportunities in the Nordic region through our partners are starting to open up. The cost cutting and structural changes we have made in Europe mean we are a leaner and nimbler business which will allow us to adjust our strategy quickly as the need arises.

Notes to the Financial Statements

HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2016 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of CPT Global Limited and its controlled entities (referred to as “the Group”). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2016, together with any public announcements made during the following half-year.

Accounting Policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements, except in relation to the matters discussed below.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The critical estimates and judgments are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the June 2016 annual report.

Notes to the Financial Statements (cont.)

NOTE 3: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (cont)

At 31 December 2016 there was an impairment indicator asset assessment undertaken of the goodwill allocated to the Australian CGU and goodwill is not impaired.

30 June 2016 impairment

At 30 June 2016, an impairment charge of $0.6m was made against the goodwill allocated to the European cash generating unit. The key driver of the impairment of goodwill was the overall revenue earned in the financial year and the forecast through to year end is 45% lower compared to the budget adopted for the 2016 financial year. The revenue forecast decreased as a result of the early termination of a risk/reward contract in Italy at breakeven point and the European CGU not otherwise achieving forecast for the 2016 financial year. The goodwill in the European CGU has a net book value of nil.

At 30 June 2016, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units was determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of the projected cash flows from that cash-generating unit over 5 years; periods beyond 5 years have been extrapolated using the terminal value growth rate of 7.7%.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF CPT GLOBAL LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of CPT Global Limited and its Controlled Entities which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and explanatory information and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of CPT Global Limited and its Controlled Entities(“the company”) are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 , and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard ASRE 2410: Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of CPT Global Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of CPT Global Limited, would be in the same terms of provided to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of CPT Global Limited and its Controlled Entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
