AVEVA GROUP PLC
RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Solid financial results, integration of OSIsoft on-track
AVEVA Group plc ('AVEVA' or 'the Group') announces its
preliminary results for the six months ended 30 September 2021.
On 19 March 2021, the Group announced the completion of the
acquisition of OSIsoft, LLC (OSIsoft) enhancing AVEVA's ability to
accelerate the digital transformation of the industrial world.
The statutory results(1) are for the combined AVEVA and OSIsoft
business in H1 FY22 and for AVEVA only for H1 FY21. To provide a
better understanding of the combined comparative trading
performance and to improve transparency, non-statutory results are
also shown for the combined Group on a pro forma basis(2) .
We believe that the pro forma results give helpful insight into
the performance of the Group and form a basis from which to
consider the outlook.
Highlights
Combined AVEVA Group on a pro forma basis
-- On an organic constant currency basis(3) pro forma revenue
for the combined Group grew 9.0% and adjusted EBIT(4) grew 33.9%;
while adjust diluted EPS grew 13.3% and included the tax benefit
from the OSIsoft acquisition.
-- Pro forma constant currency Annualised Recurring Revenue
(ARR)(5) increased 9.2% to GBP711.4m (H1 FY21: GBP651.2m). The
introduction of Subscription selling at OSIsoft will support growth
in ARR going forward.
-- After the impact of FX translation headwinds, pro forma
revenue grew by 0.8% to GBP516.1m (H1 FY21: GBP512.2m) and pro
forma adjusted EBIT grew 20.5% to GBP125.2m (H1 FY21: GBP103.9m),
representing a margin of 24.3% (H1 FY21: 20.3%).
-- Integration of the AVEVA and OSIsoft businesses has
progressed well and the Board remains excited about the growth
opportunities ahead.
Statutory results
-- Revenue was GBP480.9m after the impact of the deferred
revenue haircut (H1 FY21: GBP332.6m), representing an increase of
44.6%, most of which was due to the acquisition of OSIsoft.
-- Loss from operations was GBP74.3m (H1 FY21: GBP23.2m) with
the loss being primarily due to the amortisation of intangible
assets of GBP115.8m (H1 FY21: GBP46.2m).
-- Interim dividend is being increased 4.8% to 13.0p pence (H1 FY21: 12.4 pence).
Chief Executive Officer, Peter Herweck said:
"AVEVA achieved a good first half performance, delivering a
solid set of results and laying foundations for future growth. The
integration of the AVEVA and OSIsoft businesses has progressed
well, with both cost and revenue synergies starting to materialise
as planned.
End market conditions started to improve during the period
following disruption caused by the Covid crisis. As a result, we
are seeing the resumption of structural growth, driven by increased
digitalisation and Net Zero projects, across a wide range of
industry sectors. We are also observing an increase in activity in
the Energy and Marine sectors as energy prices recover and demand
for transportation increases.
We remain confident in the growth outlook and believe that our
first half results form a strong foundation for us to build on and
to meet our medium-term targets."

Notes
(1) Statutory results include the results for the combined AVEVA
Group for the 6 months to 30 September 2021 compared to the results
of the standalone AVEVA business only for the 6 months to 30
September 2020. EPS in the prior period has been adjusted for a
Bonus Factor of 0.8 to reflect the Bonus element of the November
2020 Rights Issue.
(2) Pro forma results include results for both AVEVA and OSIsoft
for the 6 months to 30 September 2021 and the 6 months to 30
September 2020. In addition to this, the results have been adjusted
to exclude the effect of the deferred revenue haircut under IFRS 3
(Business Combinations), which reduces current year statutory
revenue.
(3) Organic constant currency revenue excludes a currency
translation reduction of GBP40.8 million; and adjusts for the
disposals of the Acquis Software, Termis Software and Water Loss
Management Software businesses in June 2021 by removing the results
of the disposals from each reporting period.

intangible assets (excluding other software), share-based payments,
gain/loss on fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts and
exceptional items. Adjusted Earnings Per Share also includes the
tax effects of these adjustments.
(5) ARR makes it easier to track recurring revenue progression
by annualising revenue associated with Subscription, Cloud and
Maintenance contracts . It removes distortions caused by revenue
recognition standards by annualising the revenue associated with
contracts at a point in time. It is calculated on a constant
currency basis.

Chief Executive's review
Summary
AVEVA had a solid first half of the financial year. The Group
delivered a good financial performance and made significant
operational progress in integrating OSIsoft, which was acquired
just before the start of the period.
On a statutory basis, revenue for the period was GBP480.9
million which was 44.6% higher compared with the previous year (H1
FY21: GBP 332.6 million). This change was due to the inclusion of
OSIsoft in H1 FY21 and growth in the business, partly offset by
negative FX translation due to the relative strengthening of
Sterling, particularly in relation to the US Dollar.
Pro forma organic constant currency revenue grew by 9.0% and
proforma adjusted EBIT increased 33.9% on the same basis. The
revenue growth was driven by both the heritage AVEVA business,
which increased revenue by 5.8% on an organic constant currency
basis and the heritage OSIsoft business, which grew revenue by
14.9% on the same basis. The increase in adjusted EBIT was a result
of the revenue growth and a slower increase in overall costs, which
resulted in positive margin leverage.
On a reported pro forma basis (i.e. not adjusted for currency
translation), Group revenue grew by 0.8% to GBP516.1 million (H1
FY21: GBP512.2 million). On the same basis, adjusted EBIT grew by
20.5% to GBP125.2 million (H1 FY21: GBP103.9 million). This
reduction versus organic constant currency growth was largely due
to the relative strength of the Group's reporting currency
Sterling, versus the US Dollar, given that the majority of AVEVA's
sales are made in US Dollars.
Integration
The integration of OSIsoft progressed well, in accordance with
AVEVA's plans. The organisational model has been established and
leadership roles determined.
AVEVA is on-track to achieve both cost and revenue synergies
in-line with its acquisition model. Pre-tax cash cost synergies are
expected of not less than $30 million per annum on a run rate basis
by the year ending 31 March 2023. Revenue synergies of at least
$100 million per annum are expected by the year ending 31 March
2026.
Progress toward achieving cost synergies includes the
establishment of plans for removing duplication in office
facilities, marketing, and IT. All of the cost synergies have been
sized and have target delivery dates established. It is expected
that most of the office duplication will be removed by the end of
the current financial year.
Work towards achieving revenue synergies is also well
established. The sales operating model has been determined and
incentives have been put in place to drive product portfolio cross
selling. The first cross sell synergy contracts have been closed
through the direct sales force, the AVEVA partner channel and
Schneider Electric.
The R&D organisation has been integrated and has accelerated
work on the product portfolio roadmap to achieve interoperability
between products to add greater value to customers. Good progress
has been made, for example in integrating Data Hub and AVEVA
Connect. Other major product integrations are underway, including
integrating AVEVA Unified Operation Centre and AVEVA Advance
Analytics with the PI System and will be launched in calendar year
2022.
Subscription transition
AVEVA also made good progress with its Subscription transition.
The heritage AVEVA business achieved 16.2% growth in on-premise
Subscription revenue and 29.2% growth in SaaS revenue on a constant
currency basis. The heritage OSIsoft business did not have a
material Subscription or SaaS offering during the first half,
although these have now been introduced and are expected to support
future growth in ARR.
AVEVA made significant progress in developing its Cloud
business. Key products were launched on the Group's SaaS platform,
AVEVA Connect. These included Unified Engineering, Unified
Operations Control and Unified Supply Chain.
While absolute revenue from SaaS products was relatively small
due to a low starting base, order wins by contract value were more
than double revenue. Sales of Engineering products drove growth in
the first half. This is expected to continue, while being
increasingly augmented by sales of Operations products as customers
choose to move towards a hybrid Cloud deployment model.
AVEVA won a substantial number of new logos during the first
half including Kairos Power and T é cnicas Reunidas .
In the context of having not yet launched a Subscription
offering, the growth that OSIsoft achieved did not make a full
contribution to growth in ARR for the Group during the first half.
Notwithstanding this, period end ARR for the combined AVEVA Group
was GBP711.4 million (30 September 2020: GBP651.2 million). This
represented a 12 month increase of 9.2% on a pro forma constant
currency basis. This growth was driven by the heritage AVEVA
business, which increased ARR by 10.5%, while OSIsoft increased ARR
by 6.8%.
Pro forma regional performance
AVEVA is managed on a regional basis.
EMEA revenue was GBP172.2 million, representing a decrease of
3.6% (H1 FY21: GBP178.6 million) due to the impact of FX
translation. On an organic constant currency basis, sales grew
3.5%. AVEVA achieved good growth in Eastern Europe and the Middle
East in particular. On a product basis, Engineering, Asset
Performance and Data Management achieved good growth.
Americas revenue grew by 1.8% to GBP225.3 million (H1 FY21:
GBP221.3 million) due to the impact of FX translation. On an
organic constant currency basis, sales grew 10.6%. The growth was
broad based with all regions delivering a good performance. All
business areas showed a year-on-year improvement, with growth being
led by Monitoring & Control and Information Management.
Asia Pacific revenue was GBP118.6 million, representing an
increase of 5.6% (H1 FY21: GBP112.3 million). On an organic
constant currency basis, sales increased 14.5% with growth being
led by a recovery in China. On a product basis, Planning &
Operations, Monitoring & Control and Data Management achieved
good growth.
Business units
Following the acquisition of OSIsoft, AVEVA has been organised
into two business units: Engineering and Operations.
Engineering consists of Engineering and Simulation software. In
turn, Engineering software includes Engineering & Design,
Project Execution and Engineering Information Management.
Simulation includes Simulation & Learning and Value Chain
Optimisation.
Engineering contributed 29.9% of pro forma revenue in the
period. On an organic constant currency basis, revenue increased by
6.2% .
AVEVA saw good demand for Engineering Information Management,
Simulation & Learning and Value Chain Optimisation in
particular.
End market conditions started to improve during the period
following disruption caused by the Covid crisis. AVEVA's
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) customers began to
recover as both Net Zero projects and an improving general pipeline
of greenfield asset construction projects started to build.
AVEVA's Owner Operator customers continued to drive their
digital twin strategies, deploying the Engineering Information
Management portfolio, with new customer wins at PTT and a leading
semiconductor chip manufacturer.
Owner Operators also continued to drive carbon emission
reduction programs across their integrated assets with our Value
Chain Optimization portfolio, with new customer wins at Indian Oil
and LyondellBasell.
In terms of end markets, there was an increase in orders from
the Oil & Gas and Marine sector as energy prices recovered and
demand for transportation increased. For example, AVEVA saw order
wins with International Maritime Industries and Sinopec
Engineering. Demand from the Chemicals market also grew as
customers drove their circular economy agendas. Key wins came from
Dupont and Beijing Petro Chemicals.
Operations consists of Asset Performance, Monitoring &
Control and Information Management. In turn, Asset Performance
consists of Asset Performance Management and Manufacturing
Executions Systems software. Monitoring & Control includes HMI
SCADA, Enterprise Visualisation and Pipeline Management software.
Information Management consists of the recently acquired OSIsoft
business.
Operations contributed 70.1% of pro forma revenue in the period.
On an organic constant currency basis, revenue increased 10.2
%.
End market conditions improved versus the previous financial
year, allowing for the resumption of structural growth driven by
increased digitalisation across a wide range of industry sectors,
with notable wins in Power, Mining, Consumer Packaged Goods and
Energy.
Asset Performance Management delivered a strong performance,
with growth in Energy and Utilities. For example, the Group
achieved a recent large order win in Asset Performance Management
with Saudi Aramco.
Monitoring & Control delivered good growth, while continuing
the transition to a Subscription-based recuring revenue model.
Again, AVEVA saw good wins in the Energy and Infrastructure
sectors.
In Information Management, the OSIsoft business performed
strongly and continued to win significant new business, for example
in the Mining market with Vale.
Outlook
The Board remains confident in the outlook for AVEVA. Growth is
expected to continue in the second half of the financial year on an
organic constant currency basis, supported by a good contract
pipeline and improving market conditions as economies recover from
the Covid crisis.
Growth in AVEVA's ARR is expected to increase as Subscription
offers are introduced for products from the acquired OSIsoft
business and the proportion of SaaS sales rises.
Finance review
Overview
On 25 August 2020, AVEVA announced that it had reached agreement
to acquire OSIsoft at an enterprise value of $5.0 billion . The
transaction subsequently completed on 19 March 2021 and therefore
the statutory results compare the performance of the combined AVEVA
and OSIsoft business in H1 FY22 with the standalone AVEVA business
in H1 FY21.
The finance review begins with a commentary of those statutory
results and then covers pro forma results to show the underlying
performance of the combined business.
Statutory results
On a statutory basis, revenue for the period was GBP480.9
million which was 44.6% higher compared with the previous year (H1
FY21: GBP 332.6 million). This change was due to the inclusion of
OSIsoft in H1 FY21 and growth in the business, partly offset by
negative FX translation due to the relative strengthening of
Sterling, particularly in relation to the Dollar.
Subscription revenue, which includes rental contracts and Cloud
contracts, grew 17.7% to GBP134.1 million (H1 FY21: GBP113.9
million), primarily due to the growth in the heritage AVEVA
business.
Maintenance revenue grew by 63.4% to GBP162.7 million (H1 FY21:
GBP99.6 million), primarily due to the inclusion of OSIsoft in H1
FY21.
Perpetual licences grew 106.8% to GBP127.6 million (H1 FY21:
GBP61.7 million), primarily due to the inclusion of OSIsoft in H1
FY21 and growth in the OSIsoft business.
Services revenue declined 1.6% to GBP56.5 million (H1 FY21:
GBP57.4 million) due to a focus on higher margin software
revenue.
Total statutory costs increased to GBP555.2 million (H1 FY21:
GBP355.8 million). This increase was due to the acquisition of
OSIsoft and the cost of sale, operating cost and amortisation of
intangible assets associated with this.
The Group made a loss before tax of GBP80.3 million (H1 FY21:
GBP24.2 million). This was due to the amortisation of intangible
assets relating to AVEVA's combinations with the Schneider Electric
industrial software business and OSIsoft.
Basic loss per share was (27.07)p (H1 FY21: (10.11)p and diluted
earnings per share were (27.07)p (H1 FY21: (10.11)p).
The statutory tax charge was GBP1.2 million (H1 FY21: credit of
GBP3.9 million).
Dividends
An interim dividend of 13.0 pence will be payable on 4 February
2022 to shareholders on the register on 7 January 2022. This
represents an increase of 4.8% versus the prior year interim
dividend (H1 FY21: 12.4 pence).
Operating cash flow
Cash generated from operating activities before tax was
GBP(14.4) million, compared to GBP23.7 million generated in the
previous year.
This negative amount was due to cash paid in the period in
relation to the acquisition of OSIsoft of GBP65.5 million and other
exceptional items of GBP17.8 million (H1 FY21: GBP31.1
million).
In addition to this, first half cash flow is impacted by the
payment of bonus and sales commissions from the previous financial
year, which in H1 FY22 included those related to OSIsoft.
Balance sheet
On 30 September 2021, AVEVA had net debt of GBP533.6 million (31
March 2021: GBP367.9 million). This reflects the $900 million term
loan taken out to part finance the acquisition of OSIsoft, together
with cash and treasury deposits of GBP136.6 million (31 March 2021:
GBP286.9 million). The change in cash and treasury deposits mainly
reflects GBP65.5 million paid in relation to the OSIsoft
acquisition since the year end and dividend payments of GBP70.8
million. The remainder of the change in net debt in Sterling terms
relates to currency translation.
Non-current assets were GBP5.7 billion (31 March 2021: GBP5.8
billion), reflecting goodwill and intangible assets that arose from
the combination with the Schneider Electric industrial software
business and the OSIsoft acquisition. Goodwill and intangible
assets were GBP5.5 billion (31 March 2021: GBP5.6 billion).
Trade and other receivables were GBP266.5 million (31 March
2021: GBP317.0 million). Contract assets increased to GBP241.2
million from GBP215.6 million at 31 March 2021. This increase
included the impact of new contract wins and a release of a
forward-looking provision held against contract assets.
Contract liabilities were GBP232.5 million (31 March 2021:
GBP239.7 million), reflecting a higher billing profile in the
second half.

Pro forma results include results for both AVEVA and OSIsoft for
the 6 months to 30 September 2021 and the 6 months to 30 September
2020. In addition to this, the results have been adjusted to
exclude the effect of the deferred revenue haircut under IFRS 3
(Business Combinations).
Adjusted metrics are calculated before amortisation of
intangible assets (excluding other software), share-based payments,
gain/loss on fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts and
exceptional items. Adjusted Earnings Per Share also includes the
tax effects of these adjustments.
Pro forma revenue
Revenue was GBP516.1 million, representing an increase of 0.8%
(H1 FY21: GBP512.2 million). Organic constant currency revenue grew
9.0%, adjusted for a currency translation headwind of GBP40.8
million and minor disposals in the current year.
The revenue mix for the combined Group is shown below:
Organic
constant
Reported currency % of H1
GBPm H1 FY22 H1 FY21 change change FY22 total
Subscription 134.3 123.7 8.6% 15.2% 26.0%
Maintenance 197.5 209.5 (5.7)% 2.5 % 38.3%
-------- -------- --------- ---------- ------------
Total recurring revenue 331.8 333.2 (0.4)% 7.2% 64.3%
Perpetual licences 127.8 119.8 6.7% 17.6% 24.8%

-------- -------- --------- ---------- ------------
Total 516.1 512.2 0.8% 9.0% 100%
-------- -------- --------- ---------- ------------
Subscription revenue grew by 8.6% to GBP 134.3 million (H1 FY21:
GBP123.7 million). On an organic constant currency basis the
increase was 15.2%. This was driven by growth in sales of
Subscription revenue within the heritage AVEVA business as the
transition to a recuring revenue model continued.
Maintenance revenue declined by 5.7% to GBP197.5 million (H1
FY21: GBP209.5 million). On an organic constant currency basis
there was an increase of 2.5%. This was driven by growth in
Maintenance revenue associated with the growth of the OSIsoft
business, which more than offset a decline in Maintenance revenue
at the heritage AVEVA business due to the planned Subscription
transition.
Perpetual licence revenue grew by 6.7% to GBP127.8 million (H1
FY21: GBP119.8 million). On an organic constant currency basis the
increase was 17.6%. This was driven by strong growth from the
heritage OSIsoft business, which had not yet moved to a
Subscription offering in the first half.
Services revenue declined by 4.6% to GBP56.5million (H1 FY21:
GBP59.2 million). On an organic constant currency basis the
increase was 1.5%. This was driven by growth in the overall
business, partly offset by a focus on higher margin software
revenue.
Pro forma costs
An analysis of total expenses is summarised below. Overall,
operating costs were a little behind AVEVA's plan, largely due to a
tight labour market causing some delay in new hires.
Net impairment
gain / loss
Cost of Selling from financial
GBPm sales R&D and distribution Admin. assets Total
Adjusted costs 106.6 80.9 123.1 84.4 (4.1) 390.9
H1 FY21 110.2 89.3 130.1 77.8 0.9 408.3
Change (3.3)% (9.4)% (5.4)% 8.5% - (4.3)%
Organic constant currency 3.1% (3.0)% 0.9% 17.9% - 2.7 %
Cost of sales decreased by 3.3% to GBP106.6 million (H1 FY21:
GBP110.2 million). This decrease was due to FX translation. On a
constant currency basis the increase was 3.1%. This was largely due
to higher SaaS hosting costs.
Research & Development costs were GBP80.9 million (H1 FY21:
GBP 89.3 million), representing a decrease of 9.4%. On a constant
currency basis the decrease was 3.0%. This was due a slight
increase in employment costs more than offset by reductions in
consultancy, IT costs and some delayed recruiting.
Selling and distribution expenses were GBP123.1 million (H1
FY21: GBP130.1 million), representing a decrease of 5.4%. On a
constant currency basis the increase was 0.9%. The relatively flat
costs represented inflation and higher run-rate costs entering the
year offset by some savings on the timing of backfilling open
positions.
Administrative expenses were GBP84.4 million (H1 FY21: GBP77.8
million), representing a increase of 8.5%. On a constant currency
basis the increase was 17.9%. This was driven by higher costs in
IT, finance and HR, due to increases in capacity being needed as
the business scales.
Net impairment loss from financial assets represents the
impairment of accounts receivable and contract assets. During the
period there was a credit following a review of forward-looking
provisions against contract assets. This reversal of provisions led
to a positive figure of GBP4.1 million (FY20: negative GBP0.9
million).
Pro forma adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT increased by 20.5% to GBP125.2 million (H1 FY21:
GBP103.9 million). This resulted in an adjusted EBIT margin of 24.3
% (H1 FY21: 20.3%).
Pro forma net interest charge
The combined pro forma interest charge assumes that the $900
million term loan was drawn down on 1 April 2020 and therefore a
full year's interest is charged in each period. Total net interest
was GBP6.0 million (H1 FY21: GBP9.3 million). The year-on-year
reduction was largely due to lower LIBOR rates.
Pro forma taxation
The pro forma tax charge on adjusted profit before tax was
GBP6.0 million (H1 FY21: credit of GBP5.1 million), which equates
to an effective tax rate of 5.0% (H1 FY21: 5.4% credit). This tax
charge factors in the benefit of UK and US tax incentives on
intellectual property and the tax step-up relating to the
acquisition of OSIsoft. Although the first half tax rate percentage
is lower than the expected full year rate because while the tax
deduction relating to the acquisition of OSIsoft accrues evenly
over time, first half profits are typically lower than second half
profits; we expect these factors to continue to benefit AVEVA's tax
rate. On a full year basis, the expected tax rate on adjusted
profit before tax is expected to be less than 10%.
Pro forma earnings per share
Pro forma diluted adjusted EPS increased by 13.3% to 37.38 pence
(H1 FY21: 32.98 pence) as a result of the higher adjusted EBIT and
a tax credit in the prior year.
Normalised and exceptional items
The normalised and exceptional items below have been excluded in
presenting the adjusted results.

Acquisition and integration activities primarily related to
consultancy fees paid to advisers and the costs of additional
temporary resources due to the combination with OSIsoft, together
with IT and systems integration.
Other expense relates to capital expenditure reimbursements from
Schneider Electric in H1 FY21 and in H1 FY22, impairment relating
to the decision to retire AVEVA steel fabrication software and a
loss on the sale of assets (see Note 8 for further details).
Amortisation relates to the amortisation of the fair valued
heritage AVEVA intangible assets under acquisition accounting,
following the combination with the Schneider Electric industrial
software business and the amortisation of intangibles relating to
the OSIsoft acquisition. Of the GBP115.7m amortisation charge,
GBP72.7m relates to the intangibles acquired through the OSIsoft
acquisition.
Independent Review Report to AVEVA Group plc
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30 September 2021 which comprises the Consolidated
Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement
of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, the Consolidated Cash Flow
Statement and the related notes 1 to 17. We have read the other
information contained in the half yearly financial report and
considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set
of financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
September 2021 is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) 'Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board. A review of
interim financial information 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 International Standards on Auditing (UK) 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.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the
Group will be prepared in accordance with UK adopted international
accounting standards. The condensed set of financial statements
included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in
accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34,
'Interim Financial Reporting'.
Responsibilities of the directors
The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly
financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct
Authority.
Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the financial
information
In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for
expressing to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of
financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our
conclusion is based on procedures that are less extensive than
audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion
paragraph of this report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with
guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements
2410 (UK and Ireland) 'Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the
Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we
have formed.

Notes to the Interim Report
1 The Interim Report
The Interim Report was approved by the Board on 9 November 2021.
The interim condensed financial statements set out in the Interim
Report are unaudited but have been reviewed by the auditor, Ernst
& Young LLP, and their report to the Company is set out
above.
2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
'Interim Financial Reporting' as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the UK, and the
disclosure requirements of the Listing Rules.
The Interim Report does not include all the information and
disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should
be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 31
March 2021.
The financial information set out within this report does not
constitute AVEVA's consolidated statutory financial statements as
defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The results for
the year ended 31 March 2021 have been extracted from the
consolidated statutory financial statements for AVEVA Group plc for
the year ended 31 March 2021 on which the auditor gave an
unqualified report (which made no statement under Section 498(2) or
498(3) respectively of the Companies Act 2006 and did not draw
attention to any matters by way of emphasis) and have been filed
with the Registrar of Companies.
b) Accounting policies
Except for the application of UK-adopted international
accounting standards, for which there are no material differences
from International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
IASB and adopted by the EU when applied to AVEVA, the Interim
Report has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies
set out in the most recently published Annual Report of the Group
for the year ended 31 March 2021. New standards and amendments
effective from 1 April 2021 have not had an impact on the interim
consolidated financial statements of the Group.
c) Non-GAAP measures
The Group presents the non-GAAP performance measure 'adjusted
earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)' on the face of the
Consolidated Income Statement and reconciles this to profit from
operations as required to be presented under the applicable
accounting standards. Adjusted EBIT is not defined by IFRSs and
therefore may not be directly comparable with the adjusted EBIT
measures of other companies. It is not intended to be a substitute
for, or superior to, GAAP measures of profit. The Directors believe
that this alternative measure of profit provides a reliable and
consistent measure of the Group's underlying performance. Adjusted
earnings per share is calculated having adjusted profit after tax
for the same items, their tax effect, the deferred revenue haircut
arising due to the fair valuing of OSIsoft's contract liabilities
on acquisition, and the tax effect of the deferred revenue
haircut.
The business is managed and measured on a day-to-day basis using
adjusted results. To arrive at adjusted results, certain
adjustments are made for normalised and exceptional items that are
individually important and which could, if included, distort the
understanding of the performance for the year and the comparability
between periods.
The Group also presents pro forma results within the Chief
Executive's Review and Finance Review. For the six months ended 30
September 2021, these represent the Group's adjusted results with
an additional adjustment to add back the deferred revenue haircut
arising due to the fair valuing of OSIsoft's contract liabilities
on acquisition. For the six months ended 30 September 2020, these
include pre-acquisition OSIsoft results for the period, assumes no
synergies or trading between the groups, and assumes the term loan
used to finance the acquisition was entered into on 1 April 2020.
These are presented to increase year-on-year comparability, given
the significant impact of the OSIsoft acquisition upon the newly
enlarged Group's results.
Additional information, definitions and reconciliations from
GAAP measures are provided in the non-GAAP measures section
below.
3 Going concern
In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the interim
financial statements, the Group has considered the business
activities, and principal risks and uncertainties in the context of
the current operating environment. This includes expectations of
business performance and estimated potential ongoing impact of
global Covid-19 pandemic and its subsequent impact upon the Group's
cashflow, liquidity headroom and covenant forecasts.
At 30 September 2021, the Group held external debt in the form
of a GBP669.5 million term loan, due for repayment in March 2024.
The Group has access to a GBP250.0 million Revolving Credit
Facility (RCF), of which nil was drawn down at 30 September 2021.
This facility is due for renewal in February 2024, with two
one-year extension options subject to the lender's approval.
The Group has developed working capital financial models
covering the period from the signing of this Interim Report to 31
December 2022. These include:
-- Scenario 1: A base case scenario, representing the Group's forecasts for the period.
-- Scenario 2: A stress case scenario, representing a severe but
plausible downside where revenue is decreased 10% from the base
case and there are moderate delays in cash collection (a 10-day
increase in debtor days).
-- Scenario 3: A more severe stress case where revenue is
decreased 20% from the base case and there are severe delays in
cash collection (a 20-day increase in debtor days).
Under Scenarios 1 and 2, there is no expected requirement to
draw down on the RCF across the going concern period. Under
Scenario 3, the Group would utilise the RCF, but within the current
liquidity levels available. Throughout all scenarios, the Group has
liquidity headroom on existing facilities and against the RCF
financial covenants during the assessment period. Should a more
extreme downside scenario occur, additional mitigating actions
could be taken such as the cancellation or deferral of dividend
payments and reductions in other discretionary operating costs.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
September 2021 have therefore been prepared under the going concern
basis of accounting.
4 Risks and uncertainties
There are several potential risks and uncertainties which could
have a material impact on the Group's long-term performance. The
principal risks and uncertainties as set out in the Annual Report
for the year ended 31 March 2021 remain unchanged, except for
Industrial digitalisation strategy which is no longer considered a
principal risk. The unchanged risks are:
-- Talent;
-- Subscription;
-- Cloud;
-- Sustainability;
-- OSIsoft integration;
-- Competitors;
-- Dependency on cyclical markets;
-- AVEVA software products implicated in industrial accidents or customer cyber attack;
-- Cyber attack;
-- Regulatory compliance;
-- Global economic disruption and declining GDPs;
-- Internal IT systems (suitability and continuity); and
-- Disruptive technologies.
Industrial digitalisation strategy is no longer considered to be
a principal risk because:
-- The market has evolved; the move towards digitalisation has
accelerated within the last 24 months where customers have
understood and accepted the imperative need to evolve. There is now
a diminished need to convince customers to digitalise, rather it is
the expected standard.
-- Given this market evolution and AVEVA's strategic acquisition
of OSIsoft, which further consolidates its position within the
industrial digitalisation market, this is no longer a material
threat to AVEVA over the next 18 months.
-- AVEVA's strategy to grow its market share of industrial
digitalisation now morphs into other existing principal risks,
namely strategic risk elements of Cloud, Competitors,
Sustainability, Subscription and OSIsoft integration.
These risks are described in more detail on pages 36 to 46 of
the 2021 Annual Report. The Directors routinely monitor these risks
and uncertainties, and appropriate actions are taken to manage them
within agreed risk appetites. Included in the Chief Executive's
Review is a commentary on the outlook of the Group for the
remaining six months of the year.
At an executive level, risk management remains the
responsibility of the Executive Risk Committee, who report to the
Board on risk matters.

6 Segment information
The Executive Leadership Team (ELT) monitors and appraises the
business based on the performance of three geographic regions:
Americas; Asia Pacific; and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
These three regions are the basis of the Group's primary operating
segments reported in the financial statements. Performance is
evaluated based on regional contribution using the same accounting
policies as adopted for the Group's financial statements. There is
no inter-segment revenue. Corporate costs include centralised
functions such as Executive Management, Information Management,
Finance and Legal. Balance sheet information is not included in the
information provided to the ELT.

Other expense/(income) 17.7 (3.1) (5.5)
34.2 29.0 78.5
------------------------------- ------------ ------------ -----------
The total cash outflow during the year as a result of
exceptional items was GBP35.1 million (H1 FY21: GBP31.1
million).
a) Acquisition costs
Current and prior year acquisition costs relate to adviser fees
incurred as a result of the acquisition of OSIsoft, LLC which
completed on 19 March 2021. These costs are not expected to
significantly increase in the second half of the financial
year.
b) Integration and restructuring
Integration and restructuring included GBP7.8 million in
relation to the integration of OSIsoft, LLC, consisting primarily
of consultancy fees paid to advisers and the costs of additional
temporary resources. Costs of GBP8.0 million were incurred in
relation to the integration of heritage AVEVA and Schneider
Electric industrial software business, relating primarily to the
implementation of a global ERP system.
Prior year integration and restructuring related to the
integration of heritage AVEVA and the Schneider Electric industrial
software business. Key activities included work undertaken to exit
the Transitional Service Agreements (TSA) provided by Schneider
Electric; costs incurred in the initial design and build phases of
the new ERP system; and assistance from consultants to the Group in
running programmes designed to deliver revenue and cost
synergies.
c) Other expense/(income)
Other expense includes a GBP2.8 million loss on sale resulting
from the disposal of the Acquis Software, Termis Software and Water
Loss Management Software business. See note 12(b) for further
details. GBP14.9 million relates to an impairment of intangible
assets (developed technology and customer relationships) associated
with the Group's steel fabrication business, following the
announcement in July 2021 of these products' retirement. These
assets are allocated across all operating segments. A discounted
cash flow model was used to determine the value in use over the
remaining life.
Prior year other income related to the reimbursement from
Schneider Electric for capital expenditure incurred as part of the
Group's migration activities covered by Transitional Services
Agreements (TSA) following the combination of heritage AVEVA and
SES in February 2018.
d) Tax impact
The tax credit on the exceptional items of GBP34.2 million (H1
FY21: GBP29.0 million) is GBP5.9 million (H1 FY21: GBP4.2
million).
9 Income tax expense
The total tax expense for the half year ended 30 September 2021
is GBP1.2 million (H1 FY21: credit of GBP3.9 million).
The effective tax rate on the loss before tax is (1.5)% (H1
FY21: 16.1%). The difference between the Group's effective tax rate
and the US tax rate of 24.0% is due to a GBP17.0 million expense
relating to the increase in the UK tax rate to 25% from 1 April
2023 and higher overseas tax rates.
The tax credit on adjusted profit before tax is GBP3.2 million
(H1 FY21: expense of GBP9.5 million) which equates to an effective
tax rate of (3.8)% (H1 FY21: 17.2%).
10 Ordinary dividends
The proposed interim dividend of 13.0 pence per ordinary share
will be payable on 4 February 2022 to shareholders on the register
on 7 January 2022. In accordance with IFRS, no provision for the
interim dividend has been made in these financial statements.
The dividends relating to year ended 31 March 2021 were declared
and paid relating to AVEVA Group plc.

1. Basic and adjusted EPS for September 2020 has been restated
and adjusted for a bonus factor of 0.80 to reflect the bonus
element of the November 2020 rights issue. Amounts originally
stated as at 30 September 2020 were (12.60) pence basic earnings
per share, (12.60) pence diluted earnings per share, 28.43 pence
adjusted basic earnings per share, and 28.26 pence adjusted diluted
earnings per share.
2. The effect of share options are anti-dilutive in the six
months ended 30 September 2021 and the six months ended 30
September 2020 due to the Group recognising a net loss for the
periods. They are therefore excluded from the diluted earnings per
share calculation.
The calculation of EPS is based on the net loss attributable to
equity holders of the parent for the six months ended 30 September
2021 of GBP81.5 million and the weighted average number of shares
stated above.
Details of the calculation of adjusted EPS are set out
below:

Non-GAAP Measures (unaudited)
Various non-GAAP measures are presented throughout this Interim
Report, which management believe provide useful information for
understanding the Group's financial performance. These non-GAAP
measures should be considered in addition to IFRS measures and are
not intended to be a substitute for them.
The Group's adjusted results exclude the costs relating to major
integration or restructuring events while including the benefits.
They also exclude significant recurring expense relating to
normalised items. Therefore, adjusted results will present a more
favourable view than GAAP measures and should not be considered to
be a complete picture of the Group's financial performance.
As the Group's non-GAAP measures are not defined by IFRS, they
may not be directly comparable with other companies who use similar
measures.
Further information, definitions, the intention in presenting
these measures, and a reconciliation from the nearest IFRS measure
are provided below.
