OVERVIEW
We have executed phase one of our plan to rebuild, lead and grow
Dialight to capture the industrial LED market opportunity. This
strategy is progressing well and has fundamentally improved the
Group's operating model, positioning it for long term sustainable
growth. This progress is reflected in our financial results.
The need for enhanced light and energy management - via controls
and sensors - drives demand for our products. This plays to
Dialight's strengths and differentiators: proven technology and a
market leading position in industrial markets built over a decade
as a group purely focused on LED lighting.
In the year, we delivered an increase in underlying profit and
cash flow on revenue growth of 13% (2% at constant currency). This
was a particularly encouraging result in the context of uncertain
market conditions. Group revenue was GBP182.2m (2015: GBP161.4m),
including a favourable currency exchange impact of GBP17.9m. The US
and Europe, which generate the majority of our revenues, were
broadly flat on a constant currency basis. Underlying operating
profit increased to GBP13.1m (2015: GBP6.1m), including a
favourable exchange impact of GBP1.5m. Our lighting order intake
for 2016 was up 8% to GBP139.8m (at constant currency) over 2015,
reflecting early signs of progress in our strategic initiatives.
Non-underlying costs totalled GBP16.4m (2015: GBP9.5m); further
details are provided in the Financial Review section.
The first phase of our plan - to rebuild Dialight - is almost
complete. Our operating model supports scalable and cost efficient
production. By switching to 'platform engineering' (standardising
the design of our product parts to be used as the foundation for
all of our finished products), we have fundamentally improved
supply chain management and streamlined our operations. Platform
engineering our products reduces the number of discrete product
lines, which in turn has improved forecast accuracy for
manufacturing planning and reduced inventory. During 2016, 10 out
of 12 product groups moved to platform engineering. The remaining
two will follow in mid-2017.
The shift to platform engineering has enabled us to secure a
manufacturing partnership with Sanmina (a Fortune 500 company with
44,000 employees worldwide based in 25 countries), giving us
greater focus on our design capability. This first phase of the
switch to a manufacturing partnership is progressing well, and
supports our drive for scalable operations. Three product lines
were transferred during 2016, with the balance to be completed by
during 2017. We have closed our factory in Newmarket, UK and are in
the process of scaling back the facilities in Mexico.
Innovation in the LED industrial market is increasingly
combining lighting systems with network sources, into a single
platform. This moves beyond energy and cost savings to providing
meaningful improvements in safety and productivity. Dialight is
capturing this trend by adding industrial automation systems and
enabling the "Internet of Things" into its product portfolio. This
allows factory owners to control individual systems within their
plants via a single platform, and to collect data as part of the
evolution towards smart buildings.
Three automation partnerships are now underway with Rockwell
Automation, Honeywell Tridium and INEM (controls and maintenance
system for Obstruction Lighting allowing connectivity with network
operations centres).
Further growth initiatives are underway. With continued
expansion of our distributor coverage, 47 new distributors were
added in 2016. We have also continued to invest in our product
roadmap to maintain our technological lead; 37 new products were
launched. We have refocused our commercial teams to diversify our
sector and geographic exposure and increase the sales to strategic
accounts. This has seen a reduction in the reliance on the oil and
gas sector from 24% of revenue in 2015 to 16% in 2016. We have a
higher quality sales team with broader international experience
which has increased our revenue per sales head from GBP1.2m in 2014
to GBP1.5m in 2016 (at constant currency).
Dialight has a strong balance sheet supported by good working
capital management and a new five-year credit facility. The Group's
continued focus on working capital management delivered net cash
from operations of GBP16.3m (2015: GBP8.7m). We continued to invest
in long-term growth with net investment in capital expenditure of
GBP3.9m (2015: GBP3.3m). The critical part of our strategy to
rebuild for long-term growth resulted in non-underlying costs of
GBP16.4m. These costs were predominately non-cash with GBP5.1m
relating to intangible assets. Further details are in the Financial
Review. We finished the year with net cash of GBP8.0m and the Group
refinanced its existing revolving credit facility of GBP25.0m with
HSBC for a further 5 years ensuring significant financial
flexibility.
Board changes
The Board is committed to the delivery of the Group's strategy.
In light of the Group's plan for future growth, we reviewed the
composition of the Board to ensure that it has the correct balance
of skills, experience and knowledge. As a result we are pleased to
appoint David Thomas, Martin L. Rapp and Gaelle Hotelier.
Market conditions
The Group has the world's largest installed base in heavy
industrial LED lighting, with over 750,000 LED fixtures worldwide.
Dialight fixtures have contributed to a reduction of 1.1 billion
kWh of energy consumption. There is 97% of the industrial lighting
market available for conversion to LED. The US and global
industrial markets continued to be challenging, led by the oil and
gas sector. To counter this, Dialight's efforts to develop new
opportunities have been successful and we have seen an 8% increase
at constant currency in the lighting order intake compared to 2016.
There was continued growth in non-US markets with Australia up 15%
and Brazil up 129%.
Growth prospects
We have demonstrated success in rebuilding the Group's
operational capabilities. We now expect growth to be driven by
-- greater adoption of LED lighting by industrial firms globally;
-- innovative solutions that increase the return on investment for our customers;
-- focus on additional ways to add value by integration with
automation controls and building deeper relationships with end
customers.
Outlook
2016 was a year of change for Dialight. We are making good
progress with our three-year plan to return to sustainable profit
growth. Phase one of the plan, to rebuild our operating model, is
largely complete. The sustainability benefits of reduced energy
usage, lower carbon emissions, reduced maintenance and improved
safety offer real value to our customers. This progress underpinned
our encouraging financial performance in challenging market
conditions.
Phase two of the plan - growth initiatives to capture the
long-term opportunity in LED lighting - is underway, and on track
to deliver against our strategic plan. We remain confident of the
Group's prospects for 2017 and over the medium to long-term, based
on current FX rates.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
In the year, we delivered an increase in underlying profit and
cash flow on revenue growth of 13% (2% at constant currency). This
was in the context of challenging market conditions. Group revenue
was GBP182.2m (2015: GBP161.4m), including a favourable currency
exchange impact of GBP17.9m. The US and Europe, which generate the
majority of our revenues, were broadly flat on a constant currency
basis. Underlying operating profit increased to GBP13.1m (2015:
GBP6.1m), including a favourable exchange impact of GBP1.5m. Our
Lighting order intake for 2016 was up 8% (at constant currency)
over 2015, reflecting early signs of progress in our strategic
initiatives.
The significant increase in the Group's underlying profit was a
result of the fundamental shift in Dialight's operating model,
which has reduced costs and enabled scalable, efficient
production:
-- Procurement programmes resulting in GBP2.7m improvement in cost of sales
-- Production efficiencies of GBP1.7m from lower operating costs
at the Mexico plant including direct labour savings of GBP0.5m
-- Freight cost savings of GBP1.0m due to a new freight contract
being negotiated at the start of the year
-- Headcount savings of GBP1.6m due to the headcount reduction programme of 2015
Currency impact
Dialight reports its results in Sterling. Our major trading
currency is the US Dollar with 70% of revenue denominated in US
Dollars. The Group has both translational and transactional
currency exposure. Translational exposures arise on the
consolidation of overseas company results into Sterling and this is
the major currency exposure. Transactional exposure is more limited
with natural hedging on revenue and purchases mitigating the
majority of the currency risk.
The strengthening of the US dollar in the second half of the
year has been the main driver for the currency impact. The average
rate for the US Dollar against Sterling has moved from 1.53 in 2015
to 1.36 in 2016.
The performance of each business segment is reviewed
individually below. Allocation of overheads in each segment was
based on directly attributed costs plus an allocation based on
segmental revenue.
Lighting segment
2016 2015 Variance
Lighting GBPm GBPm
----------------- ------- ------- ---------
Revenue 136.6 120.6 +13%
Gross profit 57.4 48.3 +19%
Gross profit % 42% 40% +200bps
Overheads (43.9) (41.5) (6%)
----------------- ------- ------- ---------
Underlying EBIT 13.5 6.8 +99%
----------------- ------- ------- ---------
The Lighting segment represented 75% of the Group's revenue and
73% of the Group's underlying segmental EBIT.
Revenues were 2% higher (at constant currency) compared to the
prior year. Overall there has been a rise in order intake of 8%
compared to last year (at constant currency). There was continued
growth in non-US markets with Australia up 15% and Brazil up 129%
compared to the prior year. We have increased market penetration
within key vertical markets and the top three market verticals now
account for 42% of revenue compared to 54% in the prior year.
Gross margin increased to 42% with operational inefficiencies
from 2015 being eliminated and better commodity management lowering
our input costs. Overheads were in line with the prior year. This
resulted in the overall underlying EBIT in the Lighting segment
being doubled.
Signals and components
2016 2015 Variance
Signals and Components GBPm GBPm
------------------------ ------ ------ ---------
Revenue 45.6 40.8 +12%
Gross profit 12.1 7.9 +53%
Gross profit % 27% 19% +800bps
Overheads (7.2) (5.2) (38%)
------------------------ ------ ------ ---------
Underlying EBIT 4.9 2.7 +81%
------------------------ ------ ------ ---------
Signals and Components are high-volume businesses operating
within highly competitive markets. There is significant
competition
from low-cost producers but margins improved by 8% as traffic
production was relocated from the US to Mexico. There was
some increase in overheads due to impairment of development
costs as product lines became obsolete. Overall there was an
improvement in underlying EBIT of GBP2.2m (81%).
Central overheads
Central overheads are not allocated to these segments. In 2016
they amounted to GBP5.3m, an increase of GBP1.9m from 2015. The
main increases related to management incentives and Board
transition costs.
Non-underlying costs
The Group incurs costs and earns income that is non-underlying
in nature or that is otherwise considered to not be reflective of
the underlying performance of the business. In the assessment of
performance of the components of the Group, management examines
underlying performance which removes the impact of non-underlying
costs and income. The table below presents the components of
non-underlying profit or loss recorded within cost of sales and
administrative expenses.
2016 2015
Non-underlying costs GBPm GBPm
-------------------------------------- ------ ------
Employee severance and restructuring
costs 5.3 1.8
Intangible asset impairment 5.1 1.0
Disposal of tangible assets (0.2) -
Inventory costs 3.7 6.0
Executive director replacement costs - 0.8
Production transfer costs 2.4 -
Settlement of legal case - (0.5)
Other 0.1 0.4
Non-underlying costs recorded in
administrative expenses and cost
of sales 16.4 9.5
-------------------------------------- ------ ------
Total cash impact 4.9 2.4
-------------------------------------- ------ ------
The non-underlying costs in 2016 relating to our strategic
initiatives amounted to GBP16.4m with cumulative cost savings of
approximately GBP12m expected over the next two years. The
strategic initiatives will be completed in 2017 and the final costs
relating to this will be GBP3.0m.
The Group is substantially advanced on a programme of product
platform re-engineering and transferring lighting product assembly
to its manufacturing partner. As part of these programmes the UK
production facility was closed in September 2016. It has also been
announced that the Mexican production facility will be reduced in
scale by mid-2017. The GBP5.3m costs of redundancy relating to
staff at both of these plants have been recognised in 2016.
The product lines that were manufactured exclusively in the UK
production facility were reviewed to assess the viability of
transfer to our manufacturing partner. The review concluded that
the European Traffic business was no longer viable and production
would cease. This has resulted in a goodwill impairment of GBP4.0m.
There has been a full review of all product lines and any
development and patent costs associated with obsolete product lines
have been impaired, resulting in a further charge of GBP1.1m. The
total charge for intangible asset impairment is GBP5.1m, all of
which is a non-cash cost.
As part of the fundamental shift in Dialight's operating model,
the UK production facility and assets have been sold resulting in a
profit of GBP0.2m.
The switch to platform engineering which standardises the design
of our product parts to be used as the foundation of all our
finished goods has resulted in some of our inventory being
obsolete. This amounted to GBP3.7m in the year; we expect a further
GBP1.0m of obsolete inventory in 2017.
The transfer of lighting assembly to our manufacturing partner
incurred set up costs relating to project management, legal costs,
and dedicated engineering time; this amounted to GBP2.4m. The final
phase of this will be completed during 2017 and the balance of the
costs will be GBP2.0m.
Finance arrangements
The Group re-negotiated its revolving credit facility with HSBC
Bank plc during the year. The new facility is for GBP25m with a
further GBP25m "accordion" feature and has a five-year term. The
Group has no borrowings against the facility at the balance sheet
date and is fully compliant with its covenant requirements. This
ensures significant financial flexibility.
The Board is not proposing a final dividend payment for 2016
(2015: nil). The Group has a clear capital allocation discipline
and is committed to returning any excess funds to our shareholders
via either a future dividend or a share repurchase.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Board is responsible for identifying the nature and extent
of the risks the Group has to manage in order to successfully
pursue its growth strategy and generate shareholder value over the
long term.
The Board uses a risk framework which is designed to support the
process for identifying, evaluating and managing both financial and
non-financial risk. The Group has identified the following key
risks. This is not an exhaustive list but rather a list of the most
material risks facing the Group. The impact of these risks,
individually or collectively, could potentially affect the ability
of the Group to operate profitably and generate positive cash flows
in the medium to long term. As a result these risks are actively
monitored and managed, as detailed below:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2016
1. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical
cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are
carried at fair value.
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has
sufficient resources to continue in existence for a period no
shorter than 12 months from the date of this report. Thus they
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the annual financial statements.
The financial information set out above does not constitute the
company's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2016
or 2015 but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for
2015 have been delivered to the registrar of companies, and those
for 2016 will be delivered in due course. The auditor has reported
on those accounts; their reports were (i) unqualified, (ii) did not
include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew
attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and
(iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of
the Companies Act 2006.
Full financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016,
will be posted to shareholders on 17 March 2017, and delivered to
the registrar after the Annual General Meeting on 20 April
2017.
Use of estimates, judgements and assumptions
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies,
management has made a number of judgements. The process of
preparing the Group's financial statements inevitably requires the
Group to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future and
the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom
equal the related actual results. The estimates and judgements that
have the most significant effect on the amounts included in the
consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Goodwill
Each year the Group reviews the carrying values of its goodwill
balances by carrying out impairment tests. These tests require
estimates and judgements to be made of the value in use of its cash
generating units ("CGUs") which are dependent on key assumptions
such as future cash flows and future growth rates of the CGUs, and
discount rates.
Uncertainties associated with the current economic environment
or the Group's ability to carry out its strategic plans could
impact
key assumptions made as part of this review. Where these
uncertainties present a material risk to the carrying value of
goodwill,
sensitivity analysis is carried out on the relevant CGUs.
Development and patent costs
The Group capitalises development costs and patents provided
they meet all criteria set out in the respective accounting policy.
Costs are only capitalised where management is satisfied as to the
ultimate commercial viability of the projects concerned based on
available information. The capitalised costs are amortised over the
useful economic life, which is determined based on the reasonable
commercial prospects for the resultant product.
Inventory provision
The Group operates in an environment of technological change,
presenting the risk of obsolete inventory. Inventory is reviewed by
operational and financial management on a regular basis, product by
product, and the level of provision required is assessed
against
historical and forecast use for that product.
Other
Warranty
The Group offers performance warranties on many of its products.
A provision is made for the expected costs of future warranty
claims relating to past product sales. This provision is estimated
based on historical trends for returns, internal knowledge of
product performance characteristics and the expected costs of
remedying warranty-returned products. This information is reviewed
by management regularly. Actual returns may be materially higher or
lower than these estimates, which may have a material impact on the
adequacy of the provision for warranty claims.
Changes in accounting policies
Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied
the accounting policies set out in this note to all periods
presented in these consolidated financial statements.
The Group has adopted a number of standards and amendments to
standards, including any consequential amendments to other
standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2016.
There was no material impact on the financial performance or
position of the Group.
Adoption of new and revised standards
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations, including IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, and IFRS
15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for annual
periods beginning after 1 January 2018) and IFRS 16 Leases
(effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2019) have
not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial
statements.
The Group is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 9, IFRS 15
and IFRS 16 but believes that none of these will have a material
impact on the financial statements, but may require some further
disclosure. Beyond the information above, it is not practicable to
provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of these standards
until a detailed review has been completed.
2. Operating segments
The Group has two reportable operating segments. These segments
have been identified based on the internal information that is
supplied regularly to the Group's chief operating decision maker
for the purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources.
The chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Group
Chief Executive.
The two reportable operating segments are:
- Lighting, which develops, manufactures and supplies highly
efficient LED lighting solutions for hazardous and industrial
applications in which Lighting performance is critical and includes
anti-collision obstruction lighting; and
- Signals and Components, which develops, manufactures and
supplies status indication components for electronics OEMs,
together with niche industrial and automotive electronic components
and highly efficient LED signalling solutions for the traffic and
signals markets.
There is no inter-segment revenue.
All revenue relates to the sale of goods. Segment gross profit
is revenue less the costs of materials, labour, production and
freight that are directly attributable to a segment. Overheads
comprise operations management, selling costs plus corporate costs,
which include share-based payments.
There are no individual customers representing more than 10% of
revenue.

3. Non-underlying income/(expense)
The Group incurs costs and earns income that is non-recurring in
nature or that is otherwise considered to not be reflective of the
underlying performance of the business. In the assessment of
performance of the business units of the Group, management examines
underlying performance, which removes the impact of non-underlying
costs and income.

Non-underlying costs recorded in administrative

================================================ ============== ======
The non-underlying costs in 2016 relating to our strategic
initiatives amounted to GBP16.4m with cumulative cost savings of
approximately GBP12m over the next two years. The strategic
initiatives will be completed in 2017 and the final costs relating
to this will be GBP3.0m.
The Group is substantially advanced on a programme of product
platform re-engineering and transferring lighting product assembly
to its manufacturing partner. As part of these programmes the UK
production facility was closed in September 2016. It has also been
announced that the Mexican production facility will be reduced in
scale by mid-2017. The GBP5.3m costs of redundancy relating to
staff at both of these plants have been recognised in the year.
The product lines that were manufactured exclusively in the UK
production facility were reviewed to assess the viability of
transfer to our manufacturing partner. The review concluded that
the European Traffic business was no longer viable and production
would cease. This has resulted in a goodwill impairment of GBP4.0m.
There has been a full review of all product lines and any
development and patent costs associated with obsolete product lines
have been impaired, resulting in a further charge of GBP1.1m. The
total charge for intangible asset impairment is GBP5.1m which is a
non-cash cost.
As part of the fundamental shift in Dialight's operating model,
the UK production facility and assets have been sold resulting in a
profit of GBP0.2m
The switch to platform engineering which standardises the design
of our product parts to be used as the foundation of all our
finished goods has resulted in some of our inventory being
obsolete. This amounted to GBP3.7m in the year, we expect a further
GBP1.0m of obsolete inventory in 2017.
The transfer of lighting assembly to our manufacturing partner
incurred set up costs relating to project management, legal costs,
and dedicated engineering time; this amounted to GBP2.4m. The final
phase of this will be completed by mid-2017 and the balance of the
costs will be GBP2.0m.

The effective tax rate credit for the Group is 24.9%, a

credit was positively impacted by losses allowed in the year giving
rise to the inflated tax credit. The tax credit for 2016 was in
line with the Group distribution of profit/(loss) and the tax
charge/(credit) associated to the jurisdiction they operate in. The
rate in the year has been reduced by non tax deductible items
relating to the impairment of goodwill offset by previously
unrecognised losses and accelerated capital allowances.
