Peter Lawrence, Chairman, commented:
"The Board is delighted with the strong sales and profit
performance delivered in the first half of 2020. The period was
extremely challenging as we faced the unprecedented impact of the
Covid-19 (coronavirus) global pandemic. These results are a
testament to the commitment, flexibility and supreme efforts of our
team and the resilience of the company's systems and operational
procedures. In addition to our staff, the Board would like to thank
all stakeholders including our customers and suppliers. The health
and safety of our staff around the world is a priority and, as
such, we envisage continuing most of our contingency measures for a
further period.
Looking forward, we will continue the on-line and direct
marketing tactics that produced such a strong first half
performance. Additionally, we will be able to build upon new
business gained from those competitors unable to supply during
lock-down. As a result, we remain confident of continuing the
profitable development of the Group.
Our strong balance sheet provides Anpario with the resources to
expand our global reach and to undertake earnings enhancing and
complementary acquisitions which may arise in these uncertain
times."

Chairman's statement
Anpario is pleased to report a strong performance with sales and
profit growth achieved during an extraordinary period as the
Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic impacts countries around the world.
The Group reacted quickly by implementing its contingency plans
which included: a split production system, remote working and using
communication technology to support our global sales team and
customers. The result has been very positive, and the Group has
been able to grow sales volumes and meet the requirements of our
customers. We intend to keep most of these contingency measures in
place for the time being and continue to monitor the global
situation, as it will inevitably present challenges whilst the
pandemic is still affecting trade and life in general.
Group sales for the six months to 30 June 2020 grew by 13% to
GBP16.2m with strong performances in most of the regions in which
the Group trades.
Gross profit improved by 20% to GBP8.5m reflecting the positive
effect of selling higher value-added products and also the
contribution from our investment in the liquid bottling plant
commissioned in July 2019, enabling the Group to bring previously
toll-manufactured products in-house. Our flexibility in being able
to offer a variety of packaging options and sizes, especially for
the Anpario Direct channel and for customers who prefer to work
with them, further supports our value-added proposition to the
markets we serve.
The pandemic led to the suspension of travel and industry trade
exhibitions scheduled for 2020 and this delivered a cost saving.
Although business development initiatives will require a resumption
of travel activities, some valuable lessons have been learnt in how
technology can be used to operate more efficiently.
The Group maintains a strong balance sheet with a period end
cash balance of GBP13.2m (Dec 2019: GBP13.8m). The Board has
approved an interim dividend of 2.75p per share (2019: 2.50p), an
increase of 10%, payable on 27 November to shareholders on the
register on 13 November.
Americas
Latin America continued its strong performance with sales growth
of 16% compared with the same period last year. Brazil delivered
sales growth of 38% driven by strong volumes in Orego-Stim(R) and
Salkil(R). Ecuador achieved growth of 33%, where our products are
largely used in the aquaculture industry. There are further
opportunities in aquaculture in this region and we expect to
capitalise on recent product registration approvals.
US growth picked up in the first half delivering a 13%
improvement in sales compared with the same period last year. The
agriculture market has been affected by both Covid-19 and the
continuing US -- China trade dispute. We continued with our
business development activity adding a number of new customers. The
dairy industry has turned around since the early months of the
pandemic with milk prices having strengthened significantly. We
supply our Anpro(R) range of mycotoxin control products to this
market.
Sales of Orego-Stim(R), the market leading phytogenics product,
delivered 20% growth compared to the same period last year and we
have further opportunities supplying the poultry broiler and layer
markets.
The swine sector was weak but we have strengthened our sales
resource to take advantage of any turnaround in the market and to
promote pHorce(R) which is our high strength acid-based eubiotic,
proven to be highly effective as an in-feed anti-viral product.
Asia
Sales were ahead by 28% compared to the same period last year.
This includes China with flat sales growth but gross profit
advanced 14%, as we focused on selling high value-add products such
as Orego-Stim(R) and Prefect, which are our leading gut health
products. China was the first country into lockdown in the first
quarter of this year and this, combined with Chinese New Year
celebrations, meant that sales activity only really started in the
second quarter.
The swine industry is now showing encouraging signs of recovery
as farmers re-stock following the African Swine Fever epidemic. The
ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoters in animal feed,
introduced after the period end, will be positive for Anpario.
South East Asia delivered the strongest performance of all
regions with excellent sales and gross profit advances in the
Philippines, Malaysia, South Korea and Indonesia. The region
benefited from a number of business development initiatives
including receiving important product registrations for our
Indonesian subsidiary, which now allows our local sales team to
market our products directly to buyers.
We expect that there could be some slowdown in the second half
as the Covid-19 pandemic affects protein consumption habits but
this should only be short-lived as many countries in the region
appear to have managed the situation effectively. In order to help
mitigate the impact of this slowdown, our sales team is beginning
to target the regional aquaculture market with products which have
proved successful for Anpario in Latin America.
Australasia saw modest sales growth compared to the same period
last year, with the performance in both Australia and New Zealand
offsetting a reduction in business in Papua New Guinea because of a
customer suffering financial difficulty.
The Middle East and Africa
After last year's strong performance, the region saw a decline
in sales compared to the same period last year. The Middle East has
been severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic as a result of
cancelled religious celebrations and pilgrimages, a fall in tourism
and redundancies of foreign workers in the region. Nevertheless,
there have been some bright spots with good growth of our pellet
binder, Mastercube(TM) and new business gained with our Optomega(R)
omega-3 product for dairy cow fertility. We do not expect a
significant turnaround this year but our sales team is targeting
several opportunities, including trying to capitalise on
competitors who are unable to supply customers in the region.
Europe
The region showed strong sales and gross profit growth. Most
countries had modest increases but the UK delivered a very strong
performance through greater demand for our raw materials and feed
hygiene products. Further opportunities are being targeted as
Anpario has unique products and can offer a quick turnaround of
supply in contrast to most mainland European suppliers.
Spain and Italy suffered with sales declines, both countries
were badly affected by Covid-19.
Sales through the Anpario Direct online platform continue to
grow, albeit from a low base, as we engage with target customers
through the various social media forums. Our field sales team will
also be encouraging customers to place smaller orders online using
new functionality which allows for customer specific pricing; this
is an important feature where a large customer has multiple
locations requiring smaller deliveries but on aggregate the volumes
are significant.
As mentioned earlier customer support and business development
activities have continued electronically during the lockdown but as
restrictions are relaxed, we anticipate more customer visits and
exhibitions taking place where it is safe to do so. Obviously,
there are some countries around the world around where customer
visits will not happen for some time.
Brexit
We also face the challenges of Brexit and have prepared plans
but, until the final details of our future trading relationship
with Europe are determined, it is difficult to assess the impact.
In the first half of the year our sales to EU member states,
excluding the UK, accounted for 9.5% of total sales and 36% of
purchases. Anpario's products and processes comply with EU
regulations and the Group will continue to supply the same high
standard of products to all jurisdictions around the world.
Innovation and development
We have recently launched Orego-Stim(R) for the aquaculture
market and early commercial trials in Latin America are very
encouraging. Commercial production replacing commonly used
antibiotics, are demonstrating the real potential to grow shrimp
and fish in an antibiotic free manner. Additionally, we are seeing
increased success with our eubiotic products where customers
experience improved growth, reduced mortality and the resulting
significant financial benefits. These positive developments are all
being achieved from Anpario's development programme that is based
around leveraging our existing technology in new markets and
applications.
People
Our people have risen to the challenges presented by the
exceptional circumstances resulting from the impact of COVID-19 and
they have shown extraordinary resilience and commitment, the
Company has not and does not expect to use any of the UK
Governments financial support measures.
Anpario also recognises the heroic contribution made by NHS
staff and key workers in recent months and as a way of expressing
our thanks and giving back to our local communities, donations were
made to local hospital charities. In addition, we have used our
experience in international trade and logistics to source medical
grade face masks for donation to local care homes in the collective
effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Outlook
Looking forward, we will continue the on-line and direct
marketing tactics that produced such a strong first half
performance. Additionally, we will be able to build upon new
business gained from those competitors unable to supply during
lock-down. As a result, we remain confident of continuing the
profitable development of the Group.
Our strong balance sheet provides Anpario with the resources to
expand our global reach and to undertake earnings enhancing and
complementary acquisitions which may arise in these uncertain
times.

Revenue and gross profits
Revenues for first half of the year rose by 13% to GBP16.2m
(2019: GBP14.3m) as most segments of the business saw strong
double-digit sales growth. At the same time gross margins also
increased rising to 52.5% (2019: 49.7%), attributable to a number
of factors including operational efficiencies from the automated
bottling plant investment, continued changes in sales mix to focus
on higher value-added products and an increase in the proportion of
direct to end-customer sales. The revenue growth combined with
increased margins led to a gross profit increase of 20% to GBP8.5m
(2019: GBP7.1m).
Administrative expenses
Underling administrative expenses, which exclude foreign
exchange variances, increased by 15% (GBP0.7m) in-line with a
similar increase in sales. Included within this is GBP0.4m of
incentive provisions in respect of the enhanced sales and profit in
the first six months, these are contingent on full year
performance. Employment costs also rose by GBP0.3m, reflecting a
small number of headcount additions, inflationary increases and a
reduction in the level of capitalised costs as internal R&D
projects slowed due to COVID-19 and the availability of
laboratories to progress trials.
Due to COVID-19 there has been a 49% reduction in travel costs
and a net marketing expense reduction of 19% during the period.
This equates to a saving of GBP0.3m and we will look to continue
the positive aspects of the increased use of technology such as the
speed and ease of communication and cost efficiencies that it
brings.
The Group primarily trades with customers backed by credit
insurance, but this is not always feasible and we are not immune to
credit risk. We continue to monitor and assess our customers in
relation to the changing macro-economic situation and impact of a
tightening of financial liquidity. The prior year included a
successful recovery of GBP0.1m of bad debt provisions, adding to
the adverse administrative variance between periods. For the
current period, beyond a generalised provision required by IFRS 9
to account for expected lifetime losses, we have not experienced
any specific impairments.
Adverse foreign exchange variances included in administrative
costs for the period totalled GBP0.5m, of which less than GBP0.1m
related to realised losses. The remaining amount of GBP0.4m relates
to an income statement charge due to the temporary fall in GBP
against the USD and value of our hedging instruments in the period.
Management considers these to continue to be highly effective as
they meet the objectives our hedging strategy and protect against
downside risk from adverse increases in the GBPUSD rate as well as
allowing for some participation in upside risk from continued
volatility, as is the case currently.
Profitability and earnings per share
Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the period increased by 24% to GBP3.4m
(2019: GBP2.7m) as the 15% increase in underlying administrative
expenses were outpaced by a higher 20% growth in gross profits.
Diluted adjusted earnings per share increased by 34% to 11.74p per
share (2019: 8.73p).
The aforementioned unrealised foreign exchange losses and higher
depreciation charges led to a slightly smaller increase in profit
before tax of 6% to GBP2.4m (2019: GBP2.3m). The tax charge for the
period was impacted by the Governments decision to abandon planned
reductions in corporation tax, resulting in an adjustment to
deferred tax of GBP0.2m, this has been excluded from adjusted
profit after tax. Basic earnings per share rose 2% to 9.31p per
share (2019: 9.16p).
Cash flow and capital expenditure
Cash generated by operations for the period was GBP1.4m (2019:
GBP1.9m). This is after increases in working capital of GBP2.0m
(2019: GBP0.8m) related to our strategic response to the disruption
caused by COVID. This involved stocking up our subsidiaries and
distributor network to ensure continuity of supply through this
period and achieve a competitive advantage.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased in the period to
GBP0.6m (2019: GBP1.0m) as H1 2019 included spend on the plant
automation project. Investments in the current period included
amounts on plant and machinery investment for further efficiency
and more flexibility in pack sizes and continued R&D and IP
protection.
During the period a GBP1.0m share buyback programme was
successfully completed, purchasing 297,346 ordinary shares at a
volume weighted average price of 336.31p per share and resulting in
net cash used in financing activities of GBP0.9m compared with
GBP0.1m generated in 2019. Whilst this impacted cash balances
reducing to GBP13.2m (Dec 2019: GBP13.8m) the Group maintains a
strong balance sheet with increased net assets of GBP36.5m (Dec
2019: GBP35.6m).
Dividend
The Board has approved an interim dividend of 2.75p per share
(2019: 2.50p) an increase of 10%. This dividend, payable on 27
November to shareholders on the register on 13 November, continues
to reflect the Board's continued confidence in the Group and its
ability to generate cash.

perspective and is organised into four geographical operating
divisions: Americas, Asia, Europe, Middle-East and Africa (MEA) and
Head Office.
All revenues from external customers are derived from the sale
of goods and services in the ordinary course of business to the

that in the income statement. Inter-segment revenue is charged at
prevailing market prices or in accordance with local transfer
pricing regulations.
The segment figures for the six months to 30 Jun 2019 and for
the year ended 31 Dec 2019 have been restated. This is to reflect
some reallocations between the segments, the Group totals for both
periods are unchanged.

4. Alternative performance measures
In reporting financial information, the Group presents
alternative performance measures (APMs), which are not defined or
specified under the requirements of IFRS. The Group believes that
these APMs, which are not considered to be a subsitute for or
superior to IFRS measures, provide depth and understanding to the
users of the financial statements to allow for further assessment
of the underlying performance of the Group.
The Board considers that adjusted EBITDA is the most appropriate
profit measure by which users of the financial statements can
assess the ongoing performance of the Group. EBITDA is a commonly
used measure in which earnings are stated before net finance
income, amortisation and depreciation. The Group makes further
adjustments to remove items that are non-recurring or are not
reflective of the underlying operational performance either due to
their nature or the level of volatility.
The Group have determined for the final results of 2019 that it
would further benefit the users of these financial statements to
make adjustments for foreign exchange and disposals of property.
For comparability, the figures for the first six months of 2019
have been adjusted accordingly. The original Adjusted EBITDA for
the first six months to 30 June 2019 was GBP2,805,000. The restated
figure for that period is reduced to GBP2,746,000 as that figure
now excludes foreign exchange gains of GBP75,000 and adds back
hedging valuation losses of GBP16,000.
