("Camco" or the "Company")

Interim Results 2015

Camco Clean Energy plc (AIM: CCE), the clean energy and energy storage company, is pleased to announce its results for the six months to 30 June 2015.

Scott McGregor, CEO of Camco said: "Our trading results in the first half of 2015, whilst exceeding our expectations, are a clear reflection and vindication of the ongoing strategic focus that has been driven throughout the group in the last three years, shifting away from legacy carbon business, and realigning our efforts on higher margin activity, and the exciting progression within our REDT Energy Storage business.

REDT Energy Storage business has a clear focus and path towards delivering a commercially and technically ground-breaking solution in the growing energy storage market sector. The initial twelve market seeding units are in production and will provide the platform to achieve volume commercial sales in 2016. The first of these units completes production this week and will shortly be shipped to our development centre in Wokingham where it will be available for customer demonstrations with the other market seeding and Gigha units following thereafter.

As has been the message in recent announcements, we continue to look forward to the future with a high degree of confidence and are very excited about the opportunities available to us, in particular with the ongoing development of REDT Energy. The senior management team are focused on securing and utilising the resources available to the group, in order to continue the positive development and growth of REDT Energy, and ultimately providing benefit to our shareholders."

REDT will install an innovative hybrid energy system consisting of a solar PV and REDT's patented Energy Storage System at Thaba Eco Hotel which currently has a weak grid connection and a back-up diesel generator.

REDT Energy awarded prestigious Irish Times innovation award for 'Energy & The Environment

* Camco Clean Energy plc, on a fully diluted basis, has an economic interest of 49.8% in REDT.

   --       Africa Clean Energy 

o Focus on securing additional fund advisory opportunities alongside our current mandate to act as joint investment advisors to Green Africa Power LLP ("GAP")

o Strategic focus remains on securing higher margin opportunities throughout the fund advisory business to complement the REDT activities in the region.

o Africa presence pivotal in identifying energy storage opportunities for REDT Energy.

   --       US Clean Energy 

o Deal concluded to assign rights to the future stream of certain California Carbon Offsets ("CCOs") generated between 2015 and 2020 from the majority of Agricultural Methane projects that Camco manages on behalf of its dairy partners. Transaction generated an initial cash payment of $2m, with a potential further deferred and conditional payment of up to $0.9m by 31 December 2015.

o Both operating biogas facilities (4.5MW Jerome Facility and 2.1MW Twin Falls Facility) continue to provide contributions to the Camco Group.

o Evaluation of strategic alternatives to realise additional value from the US biogas business activities continues to be ongoing. Target is to provide additional resource to enable further investment in Camco's other activities, namely REDT, its energy storage business.

Outlook

Financially, we have continued the recent trend of year on year improvement, significantly reducing the losses incurred by the group, with the recording of a total comprehensive profit for the period. This was achieved through ongoing tight cost control, the US future carbon sale agreement, continued refocus of the group on securing higher margined activity with the most efficient utilisation of resources available, and favourable FX translation rates for our USD held assets.

Financial Review

Overall Group result

During H1 2015 the Camco Group continued its recent trend of reducing losses since 2012, and reported a total comprehensive profit of EUR0.1m compared to a loss of (EUR1m) in H1 2014. The year on year improvement was principally due to the US Carbon Credit portfolio sale in the period. We also benefited from the positive effect of the approximate 8% depreciated value of the Euro, our reporting currency, against the USD, the currency in which the majority of our net assets are held, which generated EUR0.3m exchange gain on translation of foreign operations.

Gross Profit reported in the period was EUR4.2m compared to a gross profit of EUR2.5m in H1 2014. Gross Profit for US was EUR3m (H1 2014: EUR1.2m), Africa EUR0.6m (H1 2014: EUR0.5m), REDH (CCE) EUR0.2m (H1 2014: EUR0.025m) and Group (Other) EUR0.3m (H1 2014: EUR0.7m).

Revenue rose to EUR8.5m compared to revenue in H1 2014 of EUR4.8m. Revenue for US was EUR4.7m (H1 2014: EUR2.4m), Africa EUR1.1m (H1 2014: EUR0.8m), REDH (CCE) EUR0.2m (H1 2014: EUR0.025m) and Group (Other) EUR2.5m (H1 2014: EUR1.6m).

US business

The US business comprises two areas - US Carbon and Operating Assets (being the Jerome and Twin Falls facilities). The overall US business recorded revenue of EUR4.7m (H1 2014: EUR2.4m), gross margin EUR4.2m (H1 2014: EUR2.5m) and segmental profit EUR1.5m (H1 2014: EUR0.1m)

US Carbon recorded revenues of EUR3.1m (H1 2014: EUR0.9m) generating gross profit of EUR2.3m (H1 2014: EUR0.4m) as a result of the carbon portfolio sale - revenue and gross profit of EUR1.6m - and the sale of credits delivered from the agricultural methane projects for which CCOs have been issued under the California Program. As a result of the carbon portfolio sale, there will be a marked reduction in the ongoing carbon activity recognised within the US business.

Operating Assets generated revenues of EUR1.6m (H1 2014: EUR1.5m) with a corresponding gross profit of EUR0.7m (H1 2014: EUR0.8m). As with prior years, we do continue to expect to see seasonality in the revenue from power generated from both facilities with the second half of the year benefiting from higher power rates set out in the power purchase agreement.

Africa Clean Energy business

(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires

September 28, 2015 02:02 ET (06:02 GMT)

The Africa Clean Energy business includes 5 offices in Africa, with the principle locations being Johannesburg (South Africa) and Nairobi (Kenya). The Africa business segment also contains a fund advisory business which commenced working on the GAP mandate in H2 2014 having previously incurred setup costs in H1 2014 (EUR0.1m). The overall Africa business recorded revenue of EUR1.1m (H1 2014: EUR0.8m), gross margin EUR0.6m (H1 2014: EUR0.5m) and segmental loss (EUR0.1m) (H1 2014: (EUR0.2m)). During the period a decision was made to significantly reduce the activities conducted by the office in Tanzania, resulting in additional cash being incurred in the first eight months of the year, but which is not expected to reoccur.

The Africa business continues to focus efforts on securing higher margin activity. The building of the fund advisory business is critical to the achievement of this. As fund advisory continues to grow, the rate of return and margins achieved should also increase. Currently Camco have the mandate to act as joint investment advisors to Green Africa Power LLP ("GAP"). The network of Camco offices throughout Africa is key to being able to fully service the GAP mandate and also to be positioned to win further similar mandates and build on this success. Camco has already started initial proceedings and ground work to secure a second fund advisory mandate, which will hopefully be announced in H2 2015.

REDH (CCE)

The REDH (CCE) segment comprises aspects of the Group's overheads allocated to the management and development of the REDT energy storage business.

Revenue in the year is reflective of the recovery of an apportionment of costs incurred and passed directly to the REDH business; EUR0.2m (H1 2014: EUR0.02). Taking into consideration the allocated Administrative expenses incurred on behalf of REDH, the segmental result reported a loss of (EUR0.1m) (H1 2014: (EUR0.4m)).

This segment also includes the Group's JV interest in REDH (53.8% holding; 49.8% on a fully diluted basis) from which H1 2015 yielded a share of loss of (EUR0.3m) (H1 2014: EUR0.04m).

Group (Other)

Group (Other) comprises the remaining Group costs as well as the legacy carbon business from which to date we have still been able to generate income and cash flow to help offset overhead expenditure.

This segment recorded revenue of EUR2.5m (H1 2014: EUR1.6m) and positive gross margin EUR0.3m (H1 2014: EUR0.7m). This reflects activity from legacy carbon trades, however as set out at length previously, the nature of the wider carbon market means that revenue and margin achieved is of an ad hoc nature and is not reflective of future performance, with Camco not expecting meaningful revenues to be repeated beyond the short term.

Administration expenses relating to the remaining group costs, not allocated out to other business segments, were EUR1.1m (H1 2014: EUR0.9m).

Group operating expenses

Overall administration expenses were marginally increased year on year, but with the underlying operating cost base in line with and maintaining the cost reduction strategy implemented in 2013 in order to reduce operational costs, providing Camco Group with a lean operating cost base to focus on its core business segments. Administration expenses incurred in H1 2015 were EUR3.9m, an increase of EUR0.46m from H1 2014 (EUR3.4m). The increase in Administration expenses were almost exclusively linked to the US business:

-- devaluing of Euro against USD [average FX 1.37 (H1 2014) / 1.12 (H1 2015)] resulted in additional retranslated group consolidated charges of cEUR0.25m

-- additional professional fees of EUR0.14m in connection with the ongoing strategic review of the US business

The Camco Group remains centred on maintaining tight expenditure control whilst achieving greater customer focus from the re-aligned cost base in supporting the strategic business segments.

Cash and cash equivalents

At 30 June 2015, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of EUR4.2m (H1 2014: EUR4.1m), inclusive of cash held in debt reserve in relation to the Jerome Facility of (EUR0.7m) (H1 2014: (EUR1.175m)) which is not available to the Group for general working capital purposes.

Camco Group has two secured loan facilities; existing loans secured against Jerome (EUR12.4m - 2019 maturity) and Twin Falls (EUR0.6m - 2020 maturity). There are no un-secured loans held (H1 2014: Nil).

The key movements in cash during 2014 were: capital repayment of borrowings (EUR0.2m); interest paid (EUR0.5m); cash generated from operations EUR0.6m and other cash inflows EUR0.2m.

Basis of preparation

The annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014 have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU ("Adopted IFRSs"). The interim set of financial statements included in this half-yearly report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The interim set of financial statements has been prepared applying the accounting policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014.

This interim financial information has been prepared on the historical cost basis. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the annual financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2014. The accounting policies have been consistently applied across all Group entities for the purpose of producing this interim financial report.

The financial information included in this document does not comprise of statutory accounts within the meaning of Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.

Those accounts have been reported on by the company's auditors and delivered to the Jersey Financial Services Commission. The report of the auditors was unqualified.

Estimates

The preparation of the interim financial report in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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.
