Interim Report - 31 December 2020
SDI Limited Commentary - half-year results 31 December 2020

MELBOURNE, Australia – SDI Limited (ASX: SDI). Net profit after tax of $4.6 million for the six months ending 31 December 2020, compared with $3.5 million for the same period last year.
| Summary financials (AUD) | HY 2021 | HY 2020 | Change % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales ($m) | 36.8 | 40.0 | (8.0) |
| EBITDA ($m) | 8.7 | 7.1 | 21.8 |
| NPAT ($m) | 4.6 | 3.5 | 30.9 |
| Net cash ($m) | 11.1 | 6.1 | 82.6 |
| Interim ordinary dividend (cents per share) | 1.50 | 1.35 | 11.1 |
- Total sales $36.8 million, down 8.0% on last year, reflecting the continued pandemic challenges faced in UK and Australian direct export markets and the constraints on shipping products in many markets. When adjusted for currency movements, sales were down 3.9%.
- Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation ('EBITDA') was up 21.8% to $8.7 million, compared to $7.1 million for the corresponding period last year.
- Earnings per share ('EPS') was up 0.91 cents to 3.85 cents compared to 2.94 cents for the same period last year.
- Strong cash and no debt.
- Interim fully franked ordinary dividend of 1.50 cents per share, up 11.1% for the same period last year.
- Year-on-year operating expenses were carefully managed, down 19.0% in local currencies, after adjusting for government assistance programs, expenses were down 12.9%.
- Investment on research and development continued.
- The strategic review was completed on the Brazilian operations, and implementation is in progress. The Brazilian Real devaluated by 31% against the Australian Dollar in the last 6 months having a material impact, resulting in $0.7 million of realised currency losses.
Commenting on the result Chief Executive Officer Samantha Cheetham said: "This has been a challenging period for the group. The health and safety of our team was always at the forefront of our minds and we continue today with strict infection control policies and the use of remote conferencing tools for all staff team meetings where practical."
"While conditions began to improve in many regions, there were still several key markets impacted by strict government controls on dental practices. As some of these restrictions began to lift, we saw the pent-up demand we had spoken about at the full year begin to gain traction, with some regions close to normal. We knew this was always going to be a tough half, given the record result in comparable period, but despite this and the fact that we saw constraints on shipping, key markets including the UK and direct exports materially affected, our performance was very good".
Key product category sales
| Product category sales | Change in localcurrency % | Change in AUD.% | Total AUD sales% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aesthetics | (7.3) | (10.6) | 44.7 |
| Equipment | 12.6 | 2.6 | 7.7 |
| Whitening | 19.3 | 16.0 | 33.5 |
| Amalgam | (32.1) | (36.7) | 14.1 |
Whitening products have shown a strong increase, up 19.3% in local currency on the prior period, due to the anticipated pent-up demand, supported by the release of the new Pola Light product, and the re-branding of the Pola products. Aesthetics overall were weak, down 7.3% in local currency, impacted by the UK and direct exports. In markets where the restrictions were progressively eased - Australia, North America, and parts of Europe - growth was strong and further evidence of pent-up demand. As has been seen in recent results the trend in the Amalgam product continues, down 32.1% in local currency. This significant decline was due in part to recent trends, but also in this period due to government restrictions in the UK and in many export markets. Further, the pandemic impacted government tender activity in the half. The smallest segment, Equipment, grew strongly in local currency terms, up 12.6% on the prior period, driven primarily by increased traction of the Radii Xpert LED curing light.

| Europe | (41.7) | 10.5 | 0.4 | 89.5 |

| Europe | (6.9) | (6.2) | 32.7 |
| Brazil | 3.1 | (27.7) | 5.7 |
| Total | (3.9) | (8.0) | 100.0% |
Sales by business unit reflect the impact of the pandemic, and the varying status of government restrictions in each region. The European Unit was down only 6.9% in local currency, despite its largest market the UK seeing sales down 41.7% on the prior period. The Australian sales unit, with sales down 10.5% in local currency, was impacted by the sharp drop in Australian direct export markets, down 29.7%, with the Australia domestic sales up an impressive 43.2% on the prior period.
Brazilian sales decreased 27.7% in Australian dollars, when adjusted for currency movement, sales increased by 3.1% reflecting the significant devaluation of the REAL. In addition to this, there were significant supply issues due to backlogs at shipping ports to Brazil. The review of the Brazilian operations was completed, and the implementation of the restructure is in progress. The restructure aimed to simplify the business model resulting in a 50% reduction in employees, lower rental costs by moving the business to southern Brazil, and using a third-party company to assist warehousing, packing and distribution.
| Sales by region | HY 2021 (AUD) | HY 2020 (AUD) | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| APAC | 8.7m | 7.8m | 11.1 |
| Middle East / Africa | 2.0m | 4.4m | (53.9) |
| South America | 3.3m | 4.5m | (28.3) |
| North America | 9.2m | 8.9m | 3.7 |
| Europe | 13.6m | 14.3m | (5.1) |
Reflecting the pandemic status by region, APAC, North America, and parts of Europe showed a gradual easing of restrictions and the UK, Latin America, and the Middle East markets continued to experience restrictions. Added to this, the overall logistics of suppling product to many markets, due to shipping constraints, delayed shipments in the months of November and December with these orders fulfilled in the new year.
Gross profit margins
Gross product margins in Australian Dollars, reflecting regional and product sales mix, declined by 1.3% to 64.9%, compared to the record 66.2% result for the corresponding period last year. However, when adjusted for currency, gross margin was in-line with last year.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses in Australian dollars decreased by 21.6% when compared to the previous corresponding period. Approximately 53% of the consolidated entity's total operating expenses relate to its offshore subsidiaries and after adjusting for currency movements and government assistance programs, operating expenses decreased by 12.9%.
SDI Limited Commentary - half-year results 31 December 2020

Balance sheet
The consolidated entity's net cash position increased $4.9 million for the six months after decreasing inventories by $2.6 million, eliminating debt of $1.5 million, planned investment in plant and equipment of $0.9 million and product development expenditure of $1.0 million. The Company has unused bank facilities of $10 million.
The consolidated entity received $2.4 million from Jobkeeper payments in the six months ending 31 December 2020. It is not eligible to receive further payments in the third quarter of the 2021 financial year.
The consolidated entity is undertaking a comprehensive review at its manufacturing footprint, including relocation, investment in automation, and review of its manufacturing processes to ensure it continues to operate efficiently and manage future growth.
Strategy and outlook
The Company continues to drive its strategic priorities. Firstly, the key product categories of Aesthetics and Whitening products are the focus for new product development, for achieving further manufacturing efficiencies and driving sales and marketing teams; secondly, on-going investment in research and development to release one to two products per year is on target; and finally, the consolidated entity's Amalgam replacement product is on schedule to be released in 2023.
It is expected that the second half of the 2021 financial year will show growth in Aesthetics products, continued strong growth in the Whitening products, and the on-going decline in Amalgam products. The Company will continue to invest in research and development with the aim of launching at least one new product in the next financial year.
Commenting on the outlook Samantha Cheetham said: *"*Although the future is uncertain, we are seeing a recovery in sales assisted by pent-up demand in many of the global markets we operate in. The logistics to supply our overseas markets continues to be challenging, but we are fortunate that we operate in over 100 countries therefore not replying on only a few markets. With these remaining markets getting closer to resuming activity, we are looking forward to the trends we are seeing to continue into the second half of the financial year".
Dividends
The Board of Directors has declared an interim fully franked ordinary dividend of 1.50 cents per share which is 11.1% higher than the previous interim dividend.
The Board has decided that the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan ('DRP') will not be offered to Shareholders for these dividend payments.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 18 February 2021. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except as stated below.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Note 3. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity's operations consist of the manufacture of dental restorative products, tooth whitening systems and small dental equipment for sale to dental distributors, dental dealers and dentists worldwide.
Operating segments are determined using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports reviewed by the Board of Directors (identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The consolidated entity comprises four separate reportable operating segments which are primarily identified on the basis of subsidiary companies in different geographical markets.
Reportable segments The consolidated entity's reportable segments are as follows: Australia: SDI Limited and SDI Dentech Innovations Pty Limited from 1 July 2019. Europe: SDI Germany GmbH (Germany) and SDI Dental Innovations Limited (United Kingdom). USA: SDI (North America), Inc. Brazil: SDI Brasil Industria e Comercio Ltda

Note 3. Operating segments (continued)
Intersegment transactions
The segment revenues, expenses and result include transfers between segments. The pricing of the intersegment transactions is based on cost plus an appropriate mark-up, which reflects market conditions of the segment into which the sales are made. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.
Intersegment receivables, payables and loans
Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.
Major customers
The consolidated entity has a number of customers to whom it sells products. No single customer represents 10% or more of the consolidated entity's revenue.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in any dividends declared and any proceeds attributable to shareholders should the Company be wound up, in proportions that consider both the number of shares held and the extent to which those shares are paid up. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll, each share shall have one vote.
Share buy-back There is no current on-market share buy-back.

| share | 594 | 1,783 |
On 18 February 2021, the Directors declared an interim franked dividend of 1.50 cents per share to be paid on 23 April 2021. This equates to a total estimated distribution of $1,783,000 based on the number of ordinary shares on issue as at 31 December 2020. The financial effect of dividends declared after the reporting date is not reflected in the 31 December 2020 financial statements and will be recognised in subsequent financial reports.
Note 11. Fair value measurement
The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.
Note 12. Contingent liabilities
The consolidated entity had no contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020.
Note 13. Events after the reporting period
Apart from the dividend declared as disclosed in note 10, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the members of SDI Limited
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of SDI Limited (the "Entity") and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Director's Declaration.
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 the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Entity, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of 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 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.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Group's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
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.
