("i-nexus", the "Company"
or the "Group")
Interim Results
i-nexus Global plc (AIM: INX), a
leading provider of cloud-based Strategy software solutions
designed for the Global 5000, today provides its unaudited results
for the 6 months ended 31 March 2024.
Financial
highlights
·
Monthly Recurring Revenue ('MRR') as at 31 March
2024 totalled £227k (31 March 2023: £281k), in line with management
expectations following the announcement during H1 that a major
legacy customer did not intend to renew its contract ("Customer
Update").
·
Despite this, Total revenue, 90% of which is
recurring1, increased by 4% to £1,742k (H1 2023:
£1,673k) through the continued delivery of new business and
expansion successes since the start of FY23.
·
The increase in revenue, alongside cost-saving
measures, has led to Adjusted EBITDA2 loss reducing
significantly to £53k (H1 2023: £358k).
·
Net retention3 in the period totalled
76% (H1 2023: 103%), this increases to 101% if the impact of the
major legacy customer, the last remaining client using the older,
highly customised version of the i-nexus software, was excluded,
highlighting the continued strength of our core
offering.
·
Reduced loss after tax for the period of £238k (H1
2023: £491k).
·
Cash and cash equivalents at the period end
improved to £250k (30 September 2023: £80k, 31 March 2023: £147k)
through the application of effective working capital management
measures , with the Group continuing with its plan of deferring the
placement of additional investment until such time that revenue
growth delivers a position of at least Adjusted EBITDA
breakeven.
Operational
highlights and strategic progress
· Seven account
expansions (H1 2023: three), the majority of which were logos
signed across 2022 and 2023, highlighting the speed of value being
derived from the product alongside the increased market need for
digitalised strategy solutions.
·
Continued delivery of a steady stream of new logos
with three wins secured in H1, providing focused development
efforts benefiting all existing customers and prospect conversion.
H1 has seen these updates being delivered in line with plan.
·
Further exploration of a potential additional
adjacent offering, building on our deep understanding of strategy
evolution and execution, with valuable customer feedback being
obtained through H1 from an initial proof of concept.
Outlook
·
Sales pipeline volumes remain high with an
increasing trend of prospects requiring a proof of concept,
providing further opportunities to demonstrate the value of the
solution.
·
This trend coupled with the growing expansion
opportunities within our existing customer base provide confidence
in a return to half-on-half MRR growth in the second half of the
year alongside overall Group losses showing a year-on-year
reduction at year-end.
·
i-nexus well positioned to capitalise on the
continued rise in interest for a strategy execution software
solution as companies across all industries accelerate the
digitisation of mission-critical processes.
Simon Crowther, Chief Executive, of i-nexus Global plc,
commented:
"In the first half of 2024, i-nexus
has effectively navigated several challenges, particularly the
non-renewal of a major legacy customer. We have remained resilient,
achieving strong levels of account expansions and adding a steady
volume of new logos. With careful cost management and proactive
customer engagement, we have achieved a stable monthly recurring
revenue (MRR) position whilst improving both our total revenue and
Adjusted EBITDA position against H1 2023 levels.
Looking forward, we remain focused
on converting trials into annual licenses, enhancing our Workbench
platform, and further developing our new product proof of concept.
These platform enhancements aim to decrease the time to value for
customers and expand our addressable market.
The outlook for i-nexus remains
positive. The market continues to expand, particularly for
solutions that support the remote working world and our
strengthened product provides a solid foundation for future growth.
We are committed to capitalising on this momentum while we drive
towards a profitable second half of the year."

About i-nexus Global
plc
i-nexus Global plc
("i-nexus") helps companies accelerate business outcomes
through robust strategic planning, predictable project portfolio
delivery, and real-time performance tracking to ensure results are
achieved. I-nexus' strategy applications replace spreadsheets and
presentations with a single application that promotes
collaboration, alignment, and communication in the pursuit of
improved business outcomes, while providing resource and
accompanying cost efficiencies.
Today, we support organisations in
managing over 200,000 strategic programmes around the
world.
Throughout this
announcement:
1 Recurring revenue represents the
value of revenue generated through licence fees against the total
revenue generated across the period
2 Adjusted EBITDA excludes the
impact of any impairment, loss on disposal of assets, share based
payment expenses and non-underlying items.
3 Net Retention is measured by the
total of on-going MRR at the period-end from clients in place at
the start of the period as a percentage of the opening MRR from
those clients.
Overview
The first half of the year has seen
the business continue to execute against its strategic objectives,
winning new customers, expanding within existing accounts and
developing the capabilities of its product offerings. The strong
growth in Monthly Recurring Revenues in prior periods has flowed
through to revenue growth, while the cost saving initiatives
implemented to protect the business from the loss of a legacy
customer mean trading losses continue to reduce.
While the business experienced
headwinds in the period due to churn within accounts controlled via
a reseller of i-nexus software, the healthy levels of renewals
within the direct customer base point to the continued value our
customers derive from our software.
We continue to develop our core
Workbench offering, targeting enhanced functionality to enable
customers to extract additional value from the software. An example
of this is the launch in the period of an upgraded "follow the
reds" capability, a feature which allows leaders to identify and
address critical issues within their operations, focusing attention
and resources on the areas most in need more easily and
quickly. We continue to explore the potential for an
additional adjacent offering, building on our deep understanding of
the strategy evolution and execution, securing valuable customer
feedback from an initial proof of concept.
Trading
The Company has successfully
converted three trials into annual contracts (H1 2023: five) in the
period, each with expansion potential, expanded within seven
existing customer accounts (H1 2023: three) and commenced a further
15 enterprise trials of our software, positioning us well for
continued progress in the second half of the year.
We renewed contracts with over 90%
of our direct customers, reflecting our continued focus on strong
account management.
As expected, these new logo wins and
account expansions have been offset by the previously announced
loss of a substantial legacy customer, meaning MRR moderated to
£227k at 31 March 2024 (30 September 2023: £289k, 31 March 2023:
£281k).
While the impact of this loss will
be more apparent in revenue in the second half of the year, the
careful management of costs means the Board is confident overall
Group losses will show a year-on-year reduction at year end and
with an improved net cash position the business has sufficient
resources to execute on its current strategy.
People
As always, our teams continue to
demonstrate considerable resilience, driving the business forward
and delivering for our customers. We were immensely saddened by the
unexpected passing of one of our key leadership team members, James
Davies, a few months ago. He is greatly missed by us all and the
team is united in continuing his outstanding work and upholding his
high standards as we evolve our product offering.
Strategic focus for H2
·
Convert trials into annual licences, generating
increased levels of recurring revenue and expansion
potential.
·
Delivering on several account expansion
opportunities.
·
Further enhancements to Workbench, to increase
time to value for our customers and further strengthen our
competitive position.
·
Further development of a new product proof of
concept, as we seek to expand our addressable
opportunity.
Outlook
The market opportunity before us is
substantial and expanding. In today's dynamic business landscape,
success hinges on more than just setting goals-it's about executing
them swiftly, with keen insight, and across intricate ecosystems.
At i-nexus, we recognise this challenge, and our Strategy
Execution Management (SEM) software is purpose-built to deliver
substantial value.
The growing number of active trials
of our platform by potential customers, coupled with the growing
expansion opportunities within our existing customer base, provide
the Board with confidence in a return to half-on-half MRR growth in
the second half of the year. Our attention remains firmly on
ensuring the adequacy of our cash resources as we steer i-nexus
towards profitability.
With remote teams becoming more
prevalent, the demand for software solutions that support effective
strategy exection and collaboration is on the rise. These factors
alongside our growing confidence in lead nurturing and generation,
and an increasingly differentiated and easy to implement offering,
mean the Board is confident in continued progress.
Financial Performance
Revenue
Licence revenues
As expected, following the
announcement during H1 that a major legacy customer generating
Monthly Recurring Revenue ('MRR') of £54k did not intend to renew
its contract, i-nexus' MRR at 31 March 2024 totalled £227k (30
September 2023: £289k, 31 March 2023: £281k).
Encouragingly, the business
delivered record volumes of account growth across a half year
period with seven logos expanding the use of the product in H1 (H1
2023: three) alongside securing a steady volume of new logos (H1
2024: three, H1 2023: five), each with expansion
opportunities.
Net retention (measured by the total
value of on-going MRR at the period-end from clients in place at
the start of the period as a percentage of the opening MRR from
those clients) in the period totalled 76% (H1 2023: 103%),
this increases to 101% if the impact of the major legacy customer,
the last remaining client using the older, highly customised
version of the i-nexus software, was excluded, highlighting the
continued strength of our core offering.
Total revenue recognised in H1 2024
increased by 4% to £1,742k (H1 2023: £1,673k), 90% of which is
recurring, as a result of the new business and account expansion
successes since the start of 2023.
Services revenues
Revenue from associated professional
services increased by 49% against prior period levels at £176k (H1
2023: £118k), driven by the timing of new customer deployments and
existing change orders.
Gross Margin
Gross Margin in the period improved
to 81% (H1 2023: 77%) with the increase in revenue being delivered
through the development of a more cost-effective cost of sale
infrastructure.
Reported Gross Margin is the
combined gross margin over both recurring software subscriptions
and professional services.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA excluding
the impact of impairment, loss on disposal of assets, share-based
payments and non-underlying items) totalled a loss of £54k for the
period (H1 2023: loss of £358k), with the improvement in gross
margin being complemented by a reduction in overheads of £201k
against H1 2023 levels reflecting the cost saving measures put in
place.
As mentioned in the FY23 Annual
Report, there remains no plans to make further investments until
such time as revenue growth is delivering a positive Adjusted
EBITDA.
Depreciation, amortisation and
impairment
Total costs in respect of
depreciation, amortisation, and impairment have remained in line
with prior period levels at £106k (H1 2023: £106k). With the
business having low capital expenditure requirements, the value is
principally made up of amortisation on intangible assets, being
capitalised development costs (£99k, H1 2023: £99k).
These costs are reflective of the
continual evolution of the market in which the Group operates, the
needs of its customers, both present and prospective, and the
Group's agile approach to continually developing and improving its
offering.
Non-underlying items
Non-underlying items totalling £11k
in H1 2023 comprise redundancy costs. No such costs were incurred
in the six months ended 31 March 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents at 31
March 2024 improved to £250k (31 March 2023: £147k), principally
driven by an increase in the net cash inflows from operating
activities through an improved trading performance against H1 2023
levels alongside the application of effective working capital
management measures.
The Group also continues to apply
treasury and foreign currency exposure management policies where
possible to minimise both the cost of finance and our exposure to
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The Group prepares budgets, cashflow
forecasts and undertakes scenario planning to ensure that the Group
can meet its liabilities as they fall due.
The Board's assessment in relation
to going concern is included in note 2 of this report.
Balance sheet
Trade receivables (net) have
decreased to £382k at 31 March 2024 due to the timing of receipt of
annual licence fee invoices issued (31 March 2023: £1,127k). This
amount is expected to be received in line with the Group's
DSO.
The movement in the Group's MRR
resulted in deferred revenue reducing to £1,408k at 31 March 2024
(31 March 2023: £1,927k). The Group's cash collection disciplines
remain strong with DSO (debtor days) at 31 March 2024 of 51 (31
March 2023: 60).

NOTES TO THE
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. General
information
i-nexus Global plc (the "Company")
and its subsidiaries (together, the Group) is a specialist provider
of cloud based strategy software and associated professional
services.
The Company is a public limited
company domiciled in the UK and incorporated in England and Wales
(registered number 11321642) and its registered office is 27-28
Eastcastle Street, London, W1W 8DH.
The interim condensed consolidated
financial statements were approved for issue on 2 May
2024.
These condensed consolidated interim
financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the
meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory
accounts for the year ended 30 September 2023 were approved by the
Board of Directors on 20 December 2023 and delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those
accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter
paragraph and did not contain any statements under section 498 of
the Companies Act 2006.
2. Basis of
preparation
These condensed consolidated interim
financial information for the six months ended 31 March 2024 have
not been audited or reviewed by the auditors. The interims have
been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules of the Financial Services Authority and with IAS 34, 'interim
financial reporting'. These condensed consolidated interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual
financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2023, which
have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted international
accounting standards and company law. The interim condensed
consolidated financial information has been prepared on a going
concern basis and is presented in Sterling to the nearest
£1.
Going concern
After reviewing the Group's
forecasts and projections, the Directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of
at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial
statements. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing its financial statements. Information
used to make this decision is detailed below.
A scenario testing exercise, in
which the Directors prepared detailed cash flow forecasts for the
period covered by the going concern forecast, was performed. The
forecasts take into account the Directors' views of current and
future economic conditions that are expected to prevail over the
period including various scenarios which
reflect growth plans, opportunities,
risks and mitigating actions.
Alongside management's base case
forecast, the Group prepared a downside scenario. Under this
scenario, the Group has given consideration to the potential
actions available to management to mitigate the impact of these
sensitivities, in particular the discretionary nature of certain
costs incurred by the Group alongside the employment of further
mitigating actions in order to ensure the continued availability of
funds.
Financial performance in H2 2024 is
not expected to be materially impacted from current levels due to
the long-range revenue visibility achieved through the recurring
revenue business model. These recurring revenues, representing 90%
of total revenue, are considered resilient given the majority are
on multi- year terms. The forecast also assumed that the Group does
not have access to any further external funding.
The Group continues to monitor the
collection of monies from clients with no material delays in
payment being cited. The business benefits from an Annual
Licence Fee Model in which software licence fees are
received annually in advance.
3. Accounting
policies
The accounting policies adopted are
consistent with those of the previous financial statements, except
in respect of taxes on income which, in the interim periods, are
accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected
total annual performance. New and amended standards and
interpretations need to be adopted in the first interim financial
statements issued after their effective date. There are no new
IFRSs or IFRICs that are effective for the first time for this
interim period that would be expected to have a material impact on
the financial statements.
4.
Estimates
The preparation of interim financial
statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In
preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, the significant judgements made by management in
applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended
30 September 2023, with the exception of
changes in estimates that are required in determining the provision
for income taxes.
5. Segmental
reporting
The Group has one single business
segment and therefore all revenue is derived from the rendering of
services as stated in the principal activity. The Group operates in
six geographical segments, as set out below. This is consistent
with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is
responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance, has
been identified as the management team comprising the executive
directors who make strategic decisions.
