Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2017
cloudBuy plc (AIM: CBUY), the global provider of cloud-based
ecommerce marketplaces and B2B buyer and supplier solutions, today
announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30
June 2017.
Key Points
Operational
-- PHB Choices making positive progress with 25% of CCG's either
contracted or in advanced discussions.
-- Contracts won in 2016 continue to generate revenue.
-- The impact of cost reductions made in 2016 and in 2017 have
significantly reduced the cost base.
Financial
-- Revenue increased by 4% from H1 2016 to GBP0.819m. --
Administrative expenses, excluding share based payments, decreased
by 34% to GBP1.733m (2016: GBP2.643m). -- After a charge for share
based payments of GBP0.248m (2016: GBP0.348m), the operating loss
decreased by 45% to GBP1.296m (2016: GBP2.347m). -- Cash and cash
equivalents as at 30 June 2017 were GBP1.469m (30 June 2016:
GBP1.947m) reflecting the losses incurred, offset by the Roberto
Sella financing. -- Management expectations are for revenue and
operating profit, excluding share based payments, to be broadly in
line with market expectations for 2017.
Ronald Duncan, Executive Chairman of cloudBuy, commented,
"During the first half of the year we continued to make positive
progress with PHBChoices through our customer, NHS SBS. This
remains our main focus for growth, supplemented by contracts
already won around the world and a limited number of new
opportunities including in the Middle East.
The expected progress on these key contracts and cost reduction
measures already taken will result in a significantly lower loss
for 2017 compared to 2016."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Operational
We continue to focus on our key projects.
PHBChoices
Our Marketplace for Personal Health Budgets (PHB's) is showing
considerable promise with around 25% of Clinical Commissioning
Groups (CCG's) either contracted or engaged in advanced discussions
and a strong pipeline across the remainder. Working with the early
adopters, our customer, NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) has
developed a compelling business case for CCG's to use PHBChoices.
PHB's are projected to represent GBP7bn of NHS Spend by 2020/21
with 100,000 budget holders planned. Working with our current
CCG's, NHS SBS has identified significant efficiencies and savings
when PHBChoices is deployed: the ratio of PHB's able to be managed
by each CCG staff member increases fivefold and there are
additional cash releasing savings of around 25% of amounts
spent.
The majority of PHB's currently in place employ personal
assistants (PA's) rather than using care suppliers. Recognising
this and to increase the breadth of the offer, NHS SBS Employment
Services have added a payroll solution to PHBChoices to include
PA's alongside the 400,000 NHS staff members they currently pay.
From a cloudBuy perspective we have developed a PA module which
covers PA booking, time-sheets, time and attendance and feeds
directly into the payroll service ensuring that we have a fully
electronic solution. On average PHB holders employ 4 PA's, however
this can increase to 10 or more for individuals with very complex
health needs, making this a critical area for the success of
PHBChoices.
During the first half we engaged with CCG's and their PHB
holders on a pilot basis as it became clear that we would have to
develop a fully functional solution to PA's for this phase of
take-on to be successful. This is now largely complete and from
September CCG's are going live with standard contracts.
NHS England has increased the pressure on CCG's to hit their PHB
targets and has introduced 'Markers of Progress' to track the
progress of each CCG against their expected PHB numbers. This
information is available in the public domain.
United Overseas Bank in Singapore
We are providing a marketplace for the bank's SME customers,
giving access to special offers and competitive pricing from a
range of flagship suppliers. The initial suppliers are all large
organisations with whom the bank has a strategic relationship. The
marketplace is now live in Singapore, with a wider Asia Pacific
roll out being considered for Q4 and 2018. The contract is revenue
generating with set up fees, SaaS licence and transaction fees
payable to cloudBuy. We are currently working with the suppliers to
integrate their booking and inventory systems with the UOB
marketplace.
Confederation of Indian Industry
The CII marketplace in India has continued to develop with
approximately 55,000 products featured and available for purchase.
The majority of the content is manufacturing based and early
transactions are subject to a request for quote rather than an
ecommerce basket purchase. These early suppliers are receiving
orders and a small number are interested in purchasing their own
cloudBuy B2B websites as a consequence.
Egyptian Marketplace
We have started initial discovery work on our first project in
Egypt with the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce under
our MOU agreement with Visa and Efinance. Efinance, shares many of
the characteristics of NHS SBS as it is a major supplier of
outsourced services to the Egyptian government and private
enterprises. This along with the involvement of Visa, gives
additional confidence in the attractiveness of the prospect.
York Schools
Our project with the York Region District School Board in
Ontario is now live and our client is showcasing the system to the
72 other school boards that can join in under the contract, along
with the municipal governments. The contract is revenue generating
with set up fees, SaaS licence and transaction fees payable to
cloudBuy.
HealthShare New South Wales
Our flagship Spend Analytics project in Australia is live and
providing spend analysis to 33 hospitals and health organisations
in the region. We have identified significant savings opportunities
for our client during implementation and this has generated further
interest from other Australian States in using the product. The
contract is revenue generating with set up fees and SaaS licence
fees payable to cloudBuy.
Funding
During the half year, the final tranche of the Roberto Sella
funding of GBP1.476m was utilised.
Financial Results
Turnover showed a small increase on 2016 with increased project
revenue partially offset by non renewal of contracts in H2 2016 and
lower revenue in Company Formation Services. Operating losses were
reduced by GBP1.051m to GBP1.048m as a result of the reduction in
administrative expenses and share based payments.
Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2016 were GBP1.947m (30
June 2015: GBP1.917m) reflecting the losses incurred, offset by the
Roberto Sella financing.
Outlook
PHBChoices remains our key focus for future growth. Positive
progress towards revenue growth from this contract has been made in
H1 and is expected to continue for the remainder of 2017 and in
future years. This will be supplemented with revenue from existing
contracts and focussed new revenue opportunities.
Losses will continue to reduce through growth in revenue and the
effect of costs reductions already implemented which will have a
greater impact on the H2 cost base.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies set out in the Annual
Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016 and the
interpretation of those accounting standards underlying the
accounting policies. IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, has not
been applied. The interim financial statements have been issued in
accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange and are
unaudited. The financial information set out does not constitute
statutory accounts for the purposes of section 434 of the Companies
Act 2006. The auditors' report on the statutory accounts for the
year ended 31 December 2016 which have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies was unqualified, did not draw attention to
any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement
under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Although the estimates are based on management's best
knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results may
differ from those estimates.
