Half Year Report – 31 December 2016
----- End of picture text -----

School communication and attendance management software provider MGM Wireless (ASX:MWR) has announced half year results featuring improvement in sales, profit and cash generation for the six months to 31 December 2016 (“2017 First Half ”).

The company has announced net profit after tax of $211,310 for the period, up 14% on the $184,984 reported for the 2016 first half. Earnings per share also rose by 14% to 2.38 cents from 2.08 cents (fully diluted). EBITDA of $811,355 was 170% higher than the previous period’s comparative of $302,808.

MGM Wireless Executive Chairman Mark Fortunatow said it was pleasing to deliver such a solid result.

“Our sales operations and growth in customer numbers are performing well, and our products are viewed by the market as very attractive and desirable. This, coupled with lower costs, has resulted in the strong growth recorded in profit and cash generation,” he said.

MGM Wireless generated sales revenue of $1.63 million, up 7% on the previous corresponding figure of $1.53 million.

Mr Fortunatow said the sales growth had a number of contributing factors, which were expected to continue to generate growth in the second half of the year.

“The 2017 first half was our first full reporting period with our new in-App messaging and parent engagement platform, SchoolStar, which has been well received,” he said.

“Our school numbers have recorded one of their highest six month growth periods ever, with 92 new schools added since 30 June. The majority of new clients came on board from November following the initiation of the Queensland Education Department contract.”

As at 31 December MGM Wireless had 1,347 schools and early learning centres under contract, up 6% on the 1,265 at the beginning of the period, and 13% higher than the corresponding figure of 1,192 twelve months previous.

Mr Fortunatow said the selection of the company by the Queensland Government in November as one of 4 initially (now 6) approved suppliers of Absence Management and Parent Notification solutions was responsible for the acceleration in customer growth rates in the closing months of the period.

“Our contracted schools in Queensland increased from 57 to 124 in the two months to 31 December and we expect to grow that number further over the course of the year,” he said.

Half Year Report – 31 December 2016
----- End of picture text -----

“The six week period from being granted a Standing Offer Arrangement by the Queensland Government was one of intense activity as we mobilised, hired and trained staff to increase our sales and customer service resources in the closing weeks of the school year. With the start of a new school year, and the opportunity to improve operations further, we are expecting our Queensland school numbers will continue to grow and our results to reflect the revenue generation across the full period.”

Reductions achieved to cost of sales through re-negotiated wholesale supplier agreements, together with other lower expenses, enabled profit growth to outstrip revenue growth, notwithstanding depreciation and amortisation doubling from $416,605 to $740,750.

The company continued its investment in research and development activities, with cash expenditure of $545,175 compared with $534,554 in the previous corresponding period. The development of improved wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT) server software product offering for AllMyTribe children’s wearable and safety technology has been a particular area of focus.

“Wearable technology for children is an area of great potential and interest in the consumer market,” Mr Fortunatow said. “However, I think it is fair to say existing products need to do more to truly excite and kick-start this market.

“We know from our interactions with other international suppliers that the AllMyTribe platform is a globally advanced, world class platform for children’s smartwatches and other devices. Our focus has been on developing a package with the features and quality consumers are asking for. We are making good progress and are hopeful that this will result in product announcements in the current calendar year.”

The company’s cash generation capability enabled the maintenance of a strong cash balance of $1.6 million after funding research and development, debt reduction and dividend payments.

Mr Fortunatow said that MGM Wireless expected further revenue and customer growth in the six months to June, driven largely from Queensland.

“The decision by the Queensland State Government to mandate, and fund, the adoption of absence management and parent notification in all the State’s schools has been a ground-breaking commitment to the safety and engagement of schoolchildren in Queensland. Our selection as an approved supplier has given a wonderful opportunity to grow, and to demonstrate the superior capabilities of our products in improving attendance, parent engagement and child protection.

“Growth of this scale has required a corresponding investment and increase in resources and people. While this expenditure is expected to moderate the

earnings flow-through of the revenue growth, the larger customer base and increase in the company’s organisational resources, structure and capability should support longer term earnings.”

The company is also experiencing good enquiry levels in other states and will continue to build its customer base across Australia.

“Awareness of the need for attendance management and parent notification solutions is stronger than it has ever been,” Mr Fortunatow said.

“Translating this interest into buying decisions on a school-by-school basis will always require a significant effort on our part in customer education, marketing and sales resources. The market feedback from our new Schoolstar App Platform is that it is a very attractive offering. The market is only just starting to understand its power, value and desirability as a highly advanced and superior school communication solution.

“We have the ingredients for a promising outlook: a real and acknowledged market need, high interest levels and a strong, user focussed product offering.”

Company expectations for the six months to June 2017 are that the trends evident in the first half results are likely to continue, with increased sales and earnings coupled with investment in business systems improvement and resources to support growth.

Review of Operations

MGM Wireless generates revenue and income through the provision of technology solutions that assist schools to improve communication within their communities and for cost effective management and improvement of student attendance and engagement. Through research and development, the Company has developed a range of products to meet school needs which are supplied and supported under long term contracts.

The Company’s strategy to deliver returns to shareholders through these operations involves:

  • innovation, development and sale of products that win market support by offering best in class functionality and security while giving users demonstrable advances in the management of communication, attendance, engagement and safety

  • expansion of the number of schools using MGM Wireless products and the number of MGM Wireless products used per school

  • optimisation of business operations to improve efficiency and operating margins.

The company is also engaged in research and development in the application of technology to applications and services to deliver gains in cost, effectiveness, convenience and welfare. Initiatives being undertaken within this are at varying and early stages of development, and do not yet involve significant amounts of invested capital and are not yet financially material. The initiatives include the development of the AllMyTribe Internet of Things (IoT) platform and developing a range of children’s smartwatches and family wearable devices.

Statesman Institute

In November 2017, the company announced its participation in the formation of a new business; Statesman Institute (“Si”), a new, disruptive public affairs consultancy service. Since the announcement, Si has acquired further new, high profile clients. The capital invested and revenue at this stage are not material.

Half Year Report – 31 December 2016
----- End of picture text -----

Overview

In summary, the 2017 half year financial result comprises: a 14% increase in net profit after tax, driven by increased revenue, lower costs and expenses; and strong cash generation which enabled the company to broadly increase cash balances, increase spending on research and development, reduce borrowings and pay dividends.

The company’s business base expanded considerably during the period; contracted schools and early learning centres at 31 December totalled 1,347, 6% higher than the 1,265 at 1 July 2016. In assessing the revenue impact of this expansion it is relevant to note that 69 of the new schools were added in the closing two months of the period, and therefore did not make a full period contribution.

Profit

MGM Wireless recorded a net profit after tax of $211,310 for the half year compared to $184,984 in the previous corresponding period. Earnings per share were 2.38 cents compared with 2.08 cents on a fully diluted basis.

EBITDA was $811,355, compared with the 2016 first half figure of $302,808.

Operating margin (EBITDA/Revenue) improved significantly, rising from 20% to 50%.

Principal factors in the 2017 first half net profit result include:

  • a 7% increase in revenue. Sales revenue for the half year was $1,630,743 up 7% from $1,527,952 due to higher licence fees brought by growth in customers. Other sundry revenue earned during the period of $8,139 compared to $9,969 in the prior period.

  • cost of sales reduced 37% to $102,974, compared with $162,590. The reduction is attributable to re-negotiated wholesale supplier arrangements with Australian mobile network operators.

  • amortisation and depreciation charges of $740,750 were 78% higher than the corresponding figure of $416,605, reflecting the increased investment made in R & D in recent years.

  • reduced expenditure on consulting, corporate and administration expenses and employee expenses.

  • Increase in tax expense, which reduced tax benefit from $304,475 to $146,357.

Cashflow

Net cash provided by operating activities of $888,125 was 27% higher than the corresponding figure of $699,273 with the largest factor in the change being a $265,363 favourable movement in tax received between the periods. The company continued to generate strong cash from its operations with an inflow of $520,476 generated prior to tax and interest.

Cashflow was sufficient to fund increased research and development payment of $545,175, repay borrowings of $35,000 and pay dividends of $97,037 and record a 14% increase in cash balances over the six month period.

Consolidated statement of financial position

The company’s statement of financial position continued to strengthen, with equity of $4,765,197 as at 31 December 2016, up 2% from the beginning of the period. The largest balance sheet movement of significance during the period was the increase in cash from $1,405,660 at 1 July to $1,599,132.

Borrowings were reduced from $115,000 to $80,000. Current liabilities increased from $1,085,944 to $1,092,852.

Other movements of significance included:

  • other assets reduced from $846,027 to $473,198 due to variation between full year and half year provisioning of R & D tax grant.

  • intangibles increased from $2,626,645 to $2,808,518 due to capitalised expenditure on reasearch and development.

  • paybles and receivables increased due to the expansion of the business.

Changes in the state of affairs

During the half year ended 31 December 2016 there was no significant change in the Group’s state of affairs other than that referred to in the half-year financial statement or notes thereto.

Notes to the Consolidated financial statements

Significant accounting policies

1.1 Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

1.2 Basis of preparation

The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2016 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

1.3 Correction of a prior period error

During the review of the Group’s accounting policies, a prior period error was identified in relation to the accounting for the research and development tax incentive refund. This error has been rectified by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for prior periods as follows:

176,364 - 176,364
Basic earningsper share(cents) 2.15 - 2.15
Diluted earningsper share(cents) 2.08 - 2.08

1.4 Critical accounting judgements and estimates

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated judgements are based on historical experience and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

1.4.1 Internally generated intangible assets

In order to carry out the principal activities of the consolidated entity, a number of intangible assets are generated internally. These assets represent development expenditure incurred in the generation of specific products which will be marketed to consumers. Identification of the amount of development expenditure on individual products is a time consuming process, and as such, is performed in detail on an annual basis at 30 June each year. To determine the balance at 31 December 2016, an expectation has been made based on the amount capitalised at 30 June 2016, with any required adjustment being made to reflect known material variances in projects year on year.

1.4.2 R&D tax incentive receivable

The R&D tax incentive is received annually from the Australian Tax Office based on the amount of eligible research and development expenditure incurred by the consolidated entity each year. Identification of the amount of eligible research and development expenditure is a time consuming process, and as such, is performed in detail at 30 June each year. To determine the balance at 31 December 2016, an expectation has been made based on the R&D tax incentive received for 30 June 2016, with any required adjustment being made to reflect known material variances in operations year on year.

2. Segment information

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

In both the current and previous reporting period the Group has only been operating in one business sector and reporting to Management has been on a geographical basis. Each company represents a strategic business unit that offers different risks and rates of returns. This is the basis by which Management controls and reviews the operations of the Group.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.
