Datalex plc H1 2021 Financial Report

Improved EBITDA performance, marginal revenue decline

Dublin, Ireland – 2 September 2021: Datalex plc (the "Company" or the "Group") (Euronext Growth Dublin: DLE), a market leader in digital retail technology focused on the airline market, today announces its results for the six months ended 30 June 2021 ("H1 2021").

Financial highlights:

  • Total revenue for the six month period ending 30 June 2021 was \$12.6 million, a 5% decline versus the same period in 2020 (H1 2020: \$13.2 million).
  • Platform revenue of \$7.5 million declined by 3% in comparison to H1 2020 (H1 2020: \$7.7 million).
  • Total operating costs before exceptional items in the first half of 2021 decreased by 22% to \$12.2 million (H1 2020: \$15.6 million). This included a supplier discount in the sum of \$1.5 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of \$1.8 million in H1 2021, an increase of \$3.1 million versus the same period in 2020 (H1 2020: Loss of \$ 1.3 million). Foreign Currency adjusted EBITDA of \$1.1 million in H1 2021 - an increase of \$2.4 million versus the same period in 2020 (H1 2020: Loss of \$1.3 million).
  • Post the period, on 8 July 2021 the Group completed a capital raise of \$29.7 million (€25 million). A proforma Balance Sheet has been presented in the Interim Report, which demonstrates that the cash balance would have been US\$11.4million, had the Capital Raise been completed before 30 June 2021.

Commenting on today's announcement, Sean Corkery, CEO of Datalex, said:

"In the first half of 2021, we delivered an improved Adjusted EBITDA performance versus the same period in 2020. This was primarily driven by controlled management of our operating costs which decreased 22% versus the first six months of 2020. Revenues declined marginally by 5% versus the same period in 2020. This was in line with our expectation due to the continuing impact of COVID-19 on the airline industry and the further impact of the Delta variant in 2021. Platform revenues remained relatively stable during the period, and our customers continued to prioritise and honour our commercial terms.

The recovery from the impact of COVID-19 on the airline industry will take time and airlines continue to operate in a COVID-centric backdrop which has caused them to delay and extend IT and digital investment decisions. However, we have experienced a considerable increase in sales pipeline activity in the second quarter of 2021, as airlines began to reconsider investment in their retailing technology as part of their recovery strategies.

Throughout the period we have invested in our SaaS portfolio of products and we have continued to support our customers. I am pleased that we have recently contracted with a current customer for the latest version of our NDC product and for them to participate in a Dynamic Pricing production trial. We also contracted with a Tier 1 airline to complete a Dynamic Pricing production trial which commenced during the first half of 2021.

We also used this time to strengthen our balance sheet by completing a capital raise of €25 million (\$29.7 million) in July 2021. This allowed the Group to repay its existing debt facility and enables acceleration of investment in its product roadmap and provides sufficient working capital to implement new revenue opportunities.

I would like to thank all of the team at Datalex for their continued resilience and adaptability and look forward to the next stage of the recovery."

Notes

The financial information in this announcement is not audited and does not constitute statutory financial statements of Datalex plc. The statutory financial statements for FY 2021 will be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" (IFRS 15) which came into effect on 1 January 2018.

IFRS 15 recognition rules specify that timing of revenue recognition may be affected by factors outside our control, for example, including the credit rating of our customers. This may impact on the timing of recognition of forecast revenues and costs, as included in this guidance statement.

Adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) is defined as earnings from operations before (i) interest income and interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortisation expense, (iv) share-based payments cost and (v) exceptional items (see Note 7).

Foreign currency adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) is a KPI introduced during 2020. Our functional currency is US\$. The Group loan funding is denominated in Euro as a result the adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) results of the group are subject to movements beyond managements control arising from movements in foreign exchange rates. The foreign exchange input into the foreign currency adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) KPI is arrived at by combining the foreign exchange movements per Note 8 and the additional foreign exchange movements (Gain of: US\$189k) on those Euro denominated Trade Debtor balances fully provided at the end of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: Loss of US\$398k, 30 June 2020: Gain of US\$22k) and reported as an exceptional item per Note 7.

Datalex PLC

Half-Yearly Financial Report

For the six months ended 30 June 2021

Datalex plc Chief Executive Officer's Review For the six months ended 30 June 2021

During the first half of 2021, Datalex and its airline customers continued to be impacted by the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst the pace of recovery at the macro level remains uncertain, Datalex remains resolutely committed to executing its growth strategy.

On 8 July 2021, the Group completed a Capital Raise of €25million (USD\$29.7m) which will allow the Group to accelerate investment in its product roadmap and implement new revenue opportunities under a SaaS commercial model, which are both key components to this growth strategy. The Capital Raise also enabled the Group to strengthen its balance sheet by replacing the existing debt with equity. A proforma Balance Sheet has been presented in Note 24 that demonstrates how the Balance Sheet would have been presented has the Capital Raise and Tireragh Limited Loan repayment had of occurred on the 30 June 2021. In conjunction with the completion of the Capital Raise, Datalex also migrated to the Euronext Growth market on 8 July 2021, which is better suited to the Group's profile.

Financial review

  • Total revenue for the six month period ending 30 June 2021 was \$12.6 million, a 5% decline versus the same period in 2020 (H1 2020: \$13.2 million).
  • Platform revenue of \$7.5 million declined by 3% in comparison to H1 2020 (H1 2020: \$7.7 million).
  • Services revenue of \$4.3 million declined by 12% in comparison to H1 2020 (H1 2020: \$4.9 million). The reduction in services revenue was attributable to certain airlines reducing IT spend in order to preserve cash reserves whilst their operations remained heavily impacted by COVID-19. Services revenue was also impacted by customer attrition (see strategy & operational review for further detail).
  • Total operating costs before exceptional items in the first half of 2021 decreased by 22% to \$12.2 million (H1 2020: \$15.6 million). This included a supplier discount in the sum of \$1.5 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDAi of \$1.8 million in H1 2021, an increase of \$3.1 million versus the same period in 2020 (H1 2020: Loss of \$ 1.3 million)
  • Foreign Currency adjusted EBITDAii of \$1.1 million in H1 2021 an increase of \$2.4 million versus the same period in 2020 (H1 2020: Loss of \$1.3 million)
  • Loss after tax for the period of \$3.8 million (H1 2020: Loss of \$4.8million). Net exceptional costs of \$1.5million, primarily related to professional expenses associated with the Capital Raise initiated during the period and completed post period end (H1 2020: \$1.2 million).
  • Cash balance as at 30 June 2021 amounted to US \$2.4 million, decreasing from \$3.0 million on 31 December 2020 and \$3.4 million at 30 June 2020. This does not reflect proceeds raised from the Capital Raise.

Strategy & operational review

  • We are executing against the objectives we have set out in our strategy to return to accelerated and sustainable growth.
  • The Group has provided ongoing mission-critical support to customers during this challenging period and is closely involved in their future recovery strategies. There has been some customer attrition as previously disclosed, attributable to one customer who ceased trading and entered into administration in 2020 and to two customers who notified us in 2020 that they would be ceasing or reducing services with the Group. There has been interest in all of Datalex's products during the period and our modular approach has been well received by airlines.

i Adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) is defined as earnings from operations before (i) interest income and interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortisation expense, (iv) share-based payments cost and (v) exceptional items (see Note 7).

ii Foreign currency adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) is a KPI introduced during 2020. Our functional currency is US\$. The Group loan funding is denominated in Euro as a result the adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) results of the group are subject to movements beyond managements control arising from movements in foreign exchange rates. The foreign exchange input into the foreign currency adjusted EBITDA (Note 4) KPI is arrived at by combining the foreign exchange movements per Note 8 and the additional foreign exchange movements (Gain of: US\$189k) on those Euro denominated Trade Debtor balances fully provided at the end of 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: Loss of US\$398k, 30 June 2020: Gain of US\$22k) and reported as an exceptional item per Note 7.

  • No new customers were added during the first half of 2021. In the second quarter of the period we experienced a considerable increase in activity with prospective customers and we exit the period with a healthy pipeline of opportunities to develop in the second half of 2021.
  • The Group continued to invest during the period across all products. A key area of investment for the Group in 2021 was in Dynamic Pricing and Dynamic Offer. In the first half of 2021, we contracted with a Tier 1 airline to complete a dynamic pricing production trial. Similar trials are under review with a select number of airlines in H2 2021.
  • The Group migrated all hosted customers to the cloud and decommissioned its on-premise data centre during the period. As a fully cloud based Company, this marks an important SaaS milestone for the Group. We continued to develop our strategic partnership with AWS and to capitalise on our Travel & Hospitality competency group status.
  • Our people continued to work productively while working remotely and we provided ongoing support during this period of disruption. Following consultation with our team, we launched our plan to return to work under a hybrid working model and also assessed our future office space requirements.
  • Without being able to frequently meet our customers in person, we held a virtual event during the period which was very well attended. We also held our first ever virtual event in China, in association with IATA, and we participated in a number of industry events.

Outlook

In light of continued market uncertainty, the Group believes it is prudent not to provide specific guidance at this time.

In the aviation industry, we anticipate that there will be a meaningful recovery in H2 2021 compared to the first half of the year, with pent-up demand for leisure travel in particular. The recovery will be dependent on easing of restrictions and widespread vaccination with positive momentum and progress evident in recent months. Notwithstanding this positive development, IATA estimate that it will be 2023 before the industry sees a full recovery and returns to 2019 passenger volumes.iii

The recovery is not expected to be linear and equal across all markets. In light of this and recognising the nature of contracts with existing customers, it will take time for the Group to see the benefits of the recovery in air passenger volumes.

We do expect that as airlines have clearer sight of their own recovery trajectories, they will make investment decisions that have been since the start of COVID-19. Datalex's technology enables airlines to increase revenue, reduce costs and improve the retailing experience that airlines offer to their customers, all of which will be key areas of focus for airlines in the recovery.

As mentioned above, we have started to see momentum in this regard in the second quarter of 2021, we do not expect any material revenue growth from new opportunities to materialise until 2022 at the earliest.

This Half-Yearly Financial Report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 2 September 2021.

2. Basis of preparation

The Half-Yearly Financial Report of Datalex plc (the 'Group'), which is presented in US Dollars and expressed in thousands, has been prepared as at, and for the period ended 30 June 2021, in accordance with the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007, the related Transparency Rules of the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority and International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, ("IAS 34") as adopted by the European Union.

The Half-Yearly Financial Report does not include all information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 included in the Datalex plc 2020 Annual Report which is available on the Group's website www.datalex.com. The Group's 2020 Annual Report and financial statements have been audited but the auditor, Deloitte Ireland LLP, have issued a qualified opinion thereon in relation to the opening balances as at 1 January 2020 arising from the disclaimed audit opinion issued on the 2019 financial statements.

The Half-Yearly Financial Report is unaudited and has not been reviewed by auditor pursuant to the Financial Reporting Council guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

Statutory information

The interim financial statements are considered non–statutory financial statements for the purposes of the Companies Act 2014 and in compliance with section 340(4) of that Act we state that:

  • the interim financial statements as at, and for the period commencing 1 January 2021 and ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared to meet our obligation under the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 as amended (Statutory Instrument No. 277 of 2007);
  • the interim financial statements as at, and for the period commencing 1 January 2021 and ended 30 June 2021 do not constitute the statutory financial statements of the Group and are unaudited;
  • the statutory financial statements as at, and for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 will be annexed to the 2021 annual return and filed with the Companies Registration Office;
  • the statutory auditors of the Group have made a report under section 391 in the form required by section 336 Companies Act 2014 in respect of the statutory financial statements of the Group; and
  • the matters referred to in the statutory auditors' report were qualified in respect to the impact of the Disclaimer of Opinion issued on the 31 December 2019 financial statements and included a reference to material uncertainties relating to going concern to which the statutory auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without further qualifying the report.

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

Going concern

The Half-Yearly Financial Report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The Group incurred a loss of US\$3.8m in the six months to 30 June 2021 (2020 financial year: loss of US\$6.5m). At 30 June 2021, the Group had net liabilities of US\$26.9m (31 December 2020: net liabilities of US\$23.7m) and net current liabilities of US\$27.1m (31 December 2020: net current liabilities of US\$23.0m). The total decrease in cash in the six months to 30 June 2021 was US\$0.6m (2020 financial year: US\$0.03m increase).

The Group continues to operate in a very competitive environment. COVID-19 has had a significant adverse impact on the aviation industry to date and there remains uncertainty as to when the industry will recover from it. This leads to the risk that airlines could fail in the near future due to the travel restrictions imposed by governments throughout the world. This gives rise to material uncertainties for the business that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The actions taken by the Group in 2020 and 2021 have assisted the Group in navigating the challenges associated with COVID-19. Over the course of H1 2021, the Group has:

  • Continued the focus on active cost control and cash management;
  • Completed a working capital review to assess the future cash needs for the Group. This working capital review was prepared as part of the Capital Raise exercise and was subject to an independent review and sensitivity analysis by a third party. Please see Note 23, Events occurring after the statement of financial position date, for more information on the Capital Raise;
  • Announced on 8 July 2021, as further explained in Note 23, the successful placing of 50,000,000 shares and the movement of the share listing from the regulated market of Euronext Dublin to the Euronext Growth market. The equity raise resulted in additional cash inflows net of fees of €23.7m (\$28.1m) being total funds raised of €25m (USD\$29.7m) less fees of €1.3m (USD\$1.6m)This cash was utilised to clear the existing Tireragh Limited loan facilities on 14 July 2021 and support the working capital requirements of the Group. In addition to clearing the existing Tireragh Loan facility the Company has agreed an additional loan facility with Tireragh of €10m (USD\$11.88m) on the same terms as the previous facility. This new facility is available to be drawn upon until 1 December 2022 and remains undrawn upon at the date of approval of this interim report.

As the Group recovers from the impacts of the COVID pandemic and the previously reported financial issues, the Board acknowledges that there is a risk that some customers may look to alternative providers or seek to renegotiate their existing contract terms. Additionally, the new wins that have been forecast in the working capital review may not materialise.

The Board of Directors has assessed the prospects of the Group and whether the business is a going concern. In evaluating the going concern of the Group, the directors have given consideration to the cash flow needs for the next twelve months, the directors have taken into account the Group's forecast cash flows, liquidity, borrowing facilities and related covenant requirements and the expected operational activities of the Group. Preparation of financial forecasts for the business is challenging in this environment, as there are a number of different outcomes, both positive and negative which could arise as a result of COVID-19. However, following the successful completion of the Capital Raise post period end but in advance of issuance of this interim report the Directors have concluded that preparation of the H1 2021 Interim Financial Statements on a Going Concern basis is appropriate.

3. Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in the Half-Yearly Financial Report are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. There have been no changes to significant judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies and/or the key sources of estimation uncertainties for the Half-Yearly Financial Report since the 2020 Annual Report. The 2020 Annual Report was published on the 28 April 2021.

Other IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations

No IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations are effective for the first time for the financial period beginning on 1 January 2021 that have a material impact on the Group. The IFRIC interpretation on SaaS has not impacted Datalex notwithstanding the move of all clients to the cloud.

4. Segmental information

The Group is organised into two operating segments. This section provides information on the financial performance for the period on a segmental basis.

Management has determined the reportable operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the executive management team that are used to make strategic decisions. The executive management team assesses the performance of the operating segments based on the measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is our primary Alternative Performance Measure and we believe its disclosure, as a measure used by management, is also useful to shareholders in assessing the financial performance of the Group. Unlike other businesses, it is not a proxy for operating cash flow as our cash flows vary by customer contract.

The executive management team reviews business performance from a product and service perspective. In 2021 and 2020, Transaction Processing Facility ("TPF") Consulting did not meet the quantitative thresholds for mandatory disclosure under IFRS 8 Operating Segments (IFRS 8 para 3). However, the executive management team have opted to continue to disclose this segment separately on the basis that TPF Consulting is managed independently and that the executive management team review the performance of the segment separately. The TPF Consulting business has different characteristics and business challenges compared to the E-Business reporting segment. Throughout the 6 month half year period, management considers the performance of E-Business and TPF Consulting on a separate basis.

The reportable operating segments derive their revenue primarily from the sale of products and services associated with the Group's suite of travel related technology and TPF Consulting revenue. Segment profit is measured using Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation (with the exception of deferred commission costs), exceptional costs and the costs of share options and interests granted to Executive Directors and employees. Sales between segments are carried out at arm's length. The revenue from external parties reported to the executive management team is measured in a manner consistent with that in the income statement.

4. Segmental information (continued)

The E-Business segment consists of the development and sale of a variety of direct distribution software products and solutions to the Airline and Travel industry. The TPF consulting segment provides IT consultancy services to a number of major airlines. The segment information provided to the executive management team for the reportable segments for the period ended 30 June 2021 is as follows:

5. Expenses by nature (continued)

Employee benefit expense (Note 6) – net of capitalisation

The increase in employment costs in the period has been driven by the impact of the 4-day working week induced during H1 2020 which was not replicated during H1 2021 offset by a reduction in the Group's headcount. Headcount has reduced compared to the prior periods as a result of the previous targeted severance programs and natural attrition.

Consultant and contractor costs – net of capitalisation

The reduction in consultant and contractor costs in the period has been driven by 2 factors:

    1. During 2019, the Group entered into an agreement with a contracting vendor, whereby the Group would earn a \$1.5m discount which could be allocated to amounts owed to the contracting vendor. This agreement required the Group to meet agreed criteria which were completed in full in H1 and the contractor issued a credit note to the Group.
    1. In response to the impacts of COVID-19, the Group has reduced the number of contractors deployed across on going internal and customer related projects. This has also been reflected in the Services revenue reduction in the period.

The exceptional items that arose in respect of the year ended 31 December 2020 are described in Note 23 of the Group's 2020 Annual Report. The exceptional items incurred in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2021 are outlined below:

Termination notice of office in Dublin

During H1 2021, the Group's 100% owned subsidiary, Datalex Ireland Limited reached an agreement to terminate an office lease early. This resulted in a termination notice fee being paid and a recalculation of the Lease Liability in line with the reduced term of the lease. As the Lease Liability reduction was greater than the Net Book Value of the corresponding Right-of-use asset (as a result of the differential in the lease unwind rates on the lease liability and the yearly depreciation charge on the Right-of-use asset), a net credit has been recorded as an exceptional one-off item.

Professional fees

During H1 2021 the Group incurred additional professional fees relating to previously disclosed exceptional items. The costs incurred in H1 2021 primarily relate to professional legal fees relating to the ongoing Lufthansa and Swiss Airlines contractual dispute.

Costs associated with Capital Raise

During H1 2021, the Group incurred costs associated with the Capital Raise completed on the 8 July 2021. The accounting standards require these costs to be reviewed upon completion of the arrangement and will result in certain costs being netted against the Equity and other costs being accounted for as capitalised debt issuance costs. As the transaction was not fully completed at the reporting date it has been deemed appropriate to record these as exceptional at the H1 Interim reporting date. In order to assist the readers of these H1 Interim financial statements, a proforma Balance Sheet has been presented in Note 24. This proforma Balance Sheet indicates how the Balance Sheet for 30 June 2021 would have been presented had the Equity Raise and Tireragh Loan Faciality repayment occurred in advance of the 30 June 2021 reporting date.

Related party secured loan

The Company entered into a €6.141m secured loan facility agreement on 14 March 2019 with Tireragh Limited, a company ultimately beneficially owned by Mr. Desmond ('Tireragh'), conditional on shareholder approval (the "First Facility"). Shareholder approval for the First Facility was subsequently given at an EGM held on 26 April 2019. Under the terms of the First Facility, Tireragh made available a term loan facility of up to a maximum aggregate amount of €6.141m to be drawn down by the Company by way of one or more advances (but no more than six). The First Facility was secured by a debenture entered into by the Company, creating fixed and floating charges over all of the Company's assets, undertaking and goodwill as security for the Company's obligations to Tireragh with respect to the First Facility. The First Facility was guaranteed by Datalex (Ireland) Limited, the Company's subsidiary, which, by debenture, also created a fixed and floating charge over all of its assets, undertaking and goodwill as security for its and the Company's obligations to Tireragh with respect to the First Facility. The First Facility was non-amortising, had a term of 18 months from 1 May 2019 and incurred interest on drawn down balances at the rate of 10% per annum, compounding monthly and rolled up until maturity.

The First Facility was re-financed in advance of maturing with the remaining interest payable on the First Facility being capitalised at the refinancing date. Under the terms of the secured loan facility with Tireragh which was approved by shareholders on 15 November 2019 (the "Second Facility"), a further €5m in secured debt funding was made available to the Company. The Second Facility was repayable in November 2020. Under the Second Facility there were additional obligations to which the Company needed to comply with in addition to those set out in the First Facility.

The Second Facility required cross guarantees to be provided by the Company and Datalex (Ireland) Limited. Additionally, Datalex USA, Inc. and Datalex Solutions (UK) Limited were required to act as additional guarantors of the Second Facility. The obligations of the Company and each of the guarantors to Tireragh, include:

(i) A debenture entered into by the Company creating fixed and floating charges over all of its assets, undertaking and goodwill as security for its and the other guarantors' obligations to Tireragh with respect to the Second Facility;

(ii) A debenture creating fixed and floating charges over all of Datalex Ireland Limited's assets, undertaking and goodwill as security for its and the other guarantors' obligations to Tireragh with respect to the Second Facility; (ii) Security provided over the shares of Datalex USA Inc. and Datalex Solutions (UK) Limited granted by Datalex (Ireland) Limited;

(iv) US law security over such assets, undertaking and goodwill of Datalex USA Inc. as may be permissible as a matter of US law as security for its and the other guarantors' obligations to Tireragh with respect to the Second Facility;

(v) A debenture entered into by Datalex Solutions (UK) Limited granting fixed and floating charges over all of its assets, undertaking and goodwill as security for its and the other guarantors' obligations to Tireragh with respect to the Second Facility; and

(vi) Requirements to adhere to certain covenants, as outlined below:

• Achievement of Revenue and EBITDA targets, subject to agreed performance criteria, on a six month rolling basis.

• Achievement of Cash & Bank balances and Working Capital targets on a monthly basis, subject to agreed performance criteria and testing over two consecutive months.

The Company had achieved the relevant financial covenant targets to date. During 2020, Tireragh Limited waived obligations to provide certain financial information within specified time limits, including delivery of the Group's 2019 annual report within 120 days of year end (as permitted by the European Securities and Markets Authority and the Central Bank of Ireland) and the time limits within which budget projections and other periodic reporting obligations were provided during the year. Further, Tireragh Limited provided a waiver extending the time to deliver specified security documents in connection with a subsidiary of the Group and provided a waiver permitting the Group flexibility to negotiate extended payment terms with key suppliers in connection with COVID-19 measures taken by the Group.

10. Borrowings (continued)

On 31st October 2020, the maturity of the Second Facility was extended to 1 November 2021 following Shareholder approval at an EGM on 24 September 2020. As part of this facility, the Group currently has access to an undrawn facility in the amount of €10m. There have been no additional draw downs on the Tireragh loan facility since December 2019. On 1 April 2021, the Group received written confirmation from Tireragh Limited that it is willing to extend the repayment date of the loan facility to 30 September 2022. The extension of the Tireragh Limited loan facility was on the same terms as the existing facility arrangement.

Subsequent to the period end, as further explained in Note 23, the Group repaid 100% of the Tireragh Limited loan facility and related financing fees on the 14 July 2021.

The loan balance payable under the Second Facility (which is denominated in euro) was comprised of:

Diluted loss per share (in US\$ cents) (4.6) (6.0) (8.1)

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares of the Group are employee share options, the Joint Share Ownership Plan ('JSOP') awards and Deferred Share Scheme awards. A calculation is performed to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of subscription rights attached to outstanding share options.

No share options have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020, and for the year ended 31 December 2020 due to the loss recorded by the Group in these periods. The share options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. The weighted average potential dilutive impact of share options at 30 June 2021 amounted to 4,466,449 shares.

15. Loss per share (continued)

As noted in the prior year, the weighted average potential dilutive impact of share options at 30 June 2020 could vary based on the average share price for the reporting period, the potentially dilutive shares could have fallen within the following range based on a share price upon relisting:

Average share price below US\$50c: 88,000 potentially dilutive shares Average share price below US\$70c: 128,000 potentially dilutive shares Average share price below US\$90c: 198,000 potentially dilutive shares Average share price over US\$90c: 1,542,783 potentially dilutive shares

No JSOP or Deferred Share Scheme share awards have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six month ended 30 June 2021 as these are anti‑dilutive due to the loss recorded by the Group. The share awards could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. The weighted average potential dilutive impact of share awards at 30 June 2021 amounted to 609,905 shares (31 December 2020: 609,905).

16. Intangible assets

This note details the intangible assets utilised by the Group to generate revenues and contribute to recorded results. The cost of software primarily represents the amounts originally paid to bring the software into use. The cost of product development primarily represents the direct labour costs incurred. All intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful economic lives. Amortisation commences once the asset is available for use.

16. Intangible assets (continued)

Intangible assets consist of capitalised development costs and software. These intangibles have finite useful lives and are valued based on actual costs incurred. The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and continued losses after tax recorded by the Group have been identified as indicators of impairment. Given that the Group has experienced a considerable increase in sales activity in the second quarter of 2021, as airlines began to reconsider investment in their retailing technology as part of their own recovery strategies no impairment has been recorded in respect of the Group's Intangible Assets. The capitalised Software includes amounts incurred on the Group's ERP system.

Product Development work in progress consists of direct employee time and third-party contractor time incurred on a number of projects including the Digital Configurator and Datalex Merchandiser. The Group continues to enhance its product offering capabilities which will provide additional revenue generating opportunities for our Airline customers.

Capitalised development costs are amortised over a period of three to five years (the majority being amortised over five years) commencing from when the related product is generally available for use.

  1. Right-of-use assets & lease liabilities (continued)

*During 2021, the group issued notice of termination on its head office in Dublin. The result of the termination notice was a substantial reduction in the lease term. The Group will exit the lease during H1 2022. The reduction in the lease liability was in excess of the net carrying amount of the associated right-of-us asset. As a result, a credit has been recorded in the income statement as an exceptional gain. Please see Note 7. As noted in Note 23, subsequent to the reporting date but in advance of the release of the H1 Interim financial statements the Group gave notice on the UK office lease as part of a cost reduction measures. As the carrying value of the lease liability is greater than the right-of-use asset value, the termination will give rise to an exception gain of approximately \$200k No indicators of impairment have been identified in relation to the Group's right-of-use assets. The Group continues to utilise its Office Buildings, Computer Equipment and Motor Vehicles as of 30 June 2021.

At 30 June 2021, the Directors are of the opinion that the contract fulfilment costs of US\$2.8m (2020: US\$2.8m) will be recovered through related future revenues and that deferral of such costs continues to be appropriate. The deferred costs relate to an on-going implementation that was due to go-live in H1 2020 for which there is a related "Advances for bundled performance obligations" Contract Liability recorded in Note 13. As a result of COVID-19, the airline customer paused the implementation prior to the scheduled go-live date. At the time the project was on track to meet the go-live requirements. It is expected the implementation will recommence in 2022. The directors have assumed that the go-live will not occur before the H2 2022 and therefore deem it appropriate for the balances to be classified as non-current. The deferred costs will be amortised on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of the transfer of the services to which the asset relates, generally the licence term.

19. Share capital

There were 82,153,842 ordinary shares in issue at 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 82,153,842). Included in the total issued ordinary shares at both 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 were 590,000 ordinary shares held by The Datalex Employee Benefit Trust which have been treated as treasury shares.

Tireragh Limited is a related party ultimately beneficially owned by Mr. Dermot Desmond. At 30 June 2021, the total balance payable to Tireragh Limited under this arrangement was \$17,588,000.

C. OTHER

Details of related party transactions in respect of the year ended 31 December 2020 are contained in Note 29 of the Datalex plc Annual Report 2020. The Group continued to enter into transactions in the normal course of business with its related parties during the period.

22. Dividends

The Directors do not propose an interim dividend in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2021 (six months ended 30 June 2020: US\$nil).

Datalex plc paid a dividend to shareholders of US\$3.8m on 5 September 2018. To enable the dividend to be paid, Datalex plc received a dividend of US\$4.0m from its subsidiary, Datalex (Ireland) Limited ("Datalex Ireland") on 30 May 2018. This dividend was US\$0.24 per share on the issued ordinary share capital of 16,607,262 shares. The dividend payment by Datalex plc had been approved by shareholders at the AGM on 18 June 2018 and interim financial statements to 31 May 2018 were filed at the Companies Registration Office to support this payment.

Subsequent to the dividend payments, management identified that Datalex Ireland would not have had sufficient retained earnings to support the dividend payment to Datalex plc had there been appropriate recording of revenue, which had been subsequently amended. As such, the 2018 dividend payment by Datalex Ireland to Datalex plc of US\$4.0m was an unlawful distribution in contravention of the provisions of Section 117 of the Companies Act 2014.

In accordance with applicable legislation, the dividend of US\$4.0m paid by Datalex Ireland to Datalex plc is repayable by Datalex plc.

Accordingly, an intercompany payable to Datalex Ireland has been recognised for US\$4.0m in the financial statements of Datalex plc and the dividend received had been derecognised in the income statement for 2018. The amount remains outstanding at 30 June 2021.

23. Events occurring after the statement of financial position date

On the 8 July 2021 in relation to the Cornerstone Placing, Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer (the "Capital Raise"), and the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 1 July 2021, 82,153,842 Existing Ordinary Shares and 50,000,000 New Ordinary Shares to were admitted to trading on Euronext Growth. The Existing Ordinary Shares have been removed from trading on the regulated market of Euronext Dublin and their listing on the Official List has been cancelled. The equity raise resulted in additional cash inflows net of fees of €23.7m (\$28.1m) being total funds raised of €25m (USD\$29.7m) less fees of €1.3m (USD\$1.6m).

On 14 July 2021, the company repaid 100% of the remaining Tireragh Limited loan facility balance, capitalised interest costs and financing fees associated with the Tireragh Loan Facility.

Set out in Note 24, is a proforma Balance Sheet that illustrates how the reported Balance Sheet would have looked had the Capital Raise and Loan Faciality repayment been completed on 30 June 2021 using the prevailing Foreign Exchange rates on the 30 June 2021.

Datalex UK Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the group issued a termination notice on its Manchester lease as part of the Group's cost saving measures. The result of the termination notice will see the UK office relocate to a smaller space within the same building in which it is currently located. As the carrying value of the lease liability is greater than the rightof-use asset value, the termination will give rise to an exception gain of approximately \$200k.

There were no other events that would have impacted on the Half-Yearly Financial Report for the six months ended 30 June 2021, up to the date of issue.

24. Proforma Balance Sheet

This note is been provided to demonstrate that if the Capital Raise and Tireragh Limited loan facility repayment occurred on 30 June 2021 using 30 June 2021 foreign exchange rates the group would reported a small USD\$1.3m net asset position.
