Milan Patel, CEO of dotdigital, commented:
"The Group responded remarkably well to the outbreak of COVID-19
at the end of the third quarter, as reflected in our results for
the year, which show double digit growth and tangible progress made
against all three of our strategic pillars despite the
disruption.
While the pandemic has clearly been a time of heightened
uncertainty for many organisations in our end markets, the Group's
strong performance demonstrates a continued recognition of the
value of our platform and the customer engagement benefits it
provides as consumer needs and behaviours evolve and shift in
response to government guidance and restrictions.
Moving forwards, we remain focused on expanding our
international footprint, strengthening our product suite, and
deepening our relationships with partners. We will continue to
monitor and respond to the pandemic as it develops, but having made
a positive start to FY 20/21 and with encouraging momentum in the
business, we are confident in our ability to deliver another year
of substantial growth and good progress against our strategy."

Chairman's Statement
Overview
One of dotdigital's key strengths is its contracted recurring
revenue model and there can be few more rigorous stress tests for
it than the outbreak of a global pandemic. From the onset we have
adapted well and delivered a strong set of results with progress
made against all of our strategic pillars despite the disruption in
Q4.
Our continued double-digit revenue growth clearly demonstrates
the value that organisations attach to our platform which, for
many, has been a vital tool for continuing to drive sales and
maintain customer engagement through the time of the pandemic.
It remains difficult to predict how the pandemic will play out,
but we have shown our ability to weather the most challenging of
commercial environments. There is no room for complacency but
having started the new financial year well, and with demand for our
products continuing to grow, we can look to the future with
measured confidence.
The strong fundamentals of the business have been vital in
navigating the situation, but it is our colleagues that have been
the driving force behind our continued progress. On behalf of the
Board I would like to thank them all for their efforts.
Strategic progress
2019/20 represents the first full financial year since the Group
and its platform were rebranded as dotdigital and Engagement Cloud
respectively to reflect better the complementary, omnichannel
nature of the offering. The progress the Group has made since that
pivot in strategy - both in building out the product and expanding
its reach to new and exciting markets around the world - has been
remarkable. As a relative newcomer to the business, I have been
hugely impressed by the ability of our teams to meet the evolving
needs of marketeers in an increasingly digital world, underpinned
by an unwavering commitment to innovation and an ambitious,
supportive and inclusive company culture.
As a result of a lot of hard work, we now have one of the most
comprehensive, easy-to-use, reliable and secure digital marketing
platforms available, and are constantly looking at ways in which we
can enhance it further. Beyond email marketing, we now offer SMS,
push notifications, live chat and social ad functionality all in
one solution. The global appeal of the omnichannel platform is
evident from the increase in the contribution of non-UK sales this
year.
In further validation of the strategic developments that have
taken place at dotdigital in the past two years, the Company was
for the first time recognised as a "strong performer" by Forrester
in its Email Marketing Service Providers Q2 2020 report. As one of
the "13 providers that matter most", the report said dotdigital
"presented itself for the first time in this study as earnest,
honest, and winning clients at a rate unmatched by all of its
larger competitors... Marketers who sell direct in their emails
should consider this marketing cloud alternative". As an
influential voice in the industry, this award is an important
endorsement of our competitive edge in the space.
People
Despite the challenging economic backdrop, we continued to hire
through the year to support our growth ambitions. While we have
strengthened teams across the Group, we have been most active in
recruiting to build out an already exceptional international team,
ensuring we have the very best senior talent available with
knowledge and experience of working in specific overseas markets.
More detail is available in the geographic progress section of the
Chief Executive's Review.
At board level, I joined in January of this year as
Non-Executive Chairman, having spent more than 35 years working
with listed companies with a focus on software and technology. In
May, we welcomed Liz Richards to the Board as Independent
Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Audit Committee. Liz has
had a highly successful career as CFO and Chair of Audit and brings
with her a wealth of PLC experience that will be of great benefit
to the Group.
Moving forward, we will continue to hire in line with our
international expansion plans, adding new skills and increasing
management bandwidth where necessary, while also investing in the
development of our existing colleagues around the world.
Dividend
The Board has agreed to maintain a progressive dividend in line
with Group EBITDA growth. Therefore, subject to approval at the AGM
in December 2020, the Board proposes that the Group will pay a
final dividend of 0.83p per ordinary share (2019: 0.67p).
Chief Executive's Review
Overview
The Group delivered organic revenue growth from continuing
operations of 12% to GBP47.4m (2019: GBP42.5m) and adjusted EBITDA
growth of 24% to GBP18.2m. Recurring revenues represented 91% of
overall Group revenues (2019: c.89%), of which c.90% is contracted,
giving good visibility. Recurring revenues derived from enhanced
product functionality grew by 16% to GBP14.4m (2019: GBP12.4m), an
important indicator of the value created by our focused R&D
programme. The Group is cash generative and maintains a strong
balance sheet with no debt and net cash balances of GBP25.4m at
year end (2019: GBP19.3m), giving the Group scope to continue to
invest in order to drive long-term, sustainable growth.
During the year, the platform's average revenue per customer
(ARPC) continued its upward trend, growing by 12% from
approximately GBP966 per month to GBP1,083 per month. This was
largely the result of increased spend, both from additional
messaging and additional functionality being used to drive a more
personalised experience, along with signing up larger customers.
Overall, the volume of messages sent out by the platform increased
by 28% to 21.1bn from 16.5bn in 2019, reflecting both an increase
in existing customer message volume growth and message volume
growth from the new customers that we added during the year.
Impact of COVID-19
As a business, we transitioned quickly and smoothly to working
from home. There was minimal operational impact, with all our
teams, from engineers and customer support to sales and marketing,
continuing to function at full capacity.
As previously reported, in the early stages of the pandemic we
saw a slowdown of new business wins as decision making took longer
for prospects. This mainly had an impact on sales in April, but at
the same time we saw a reduction in churn, and trading improved on
a monthly basis through to the end of the financial year. Our
platform is sector and geography agnostic, and we saw the benefits
of the diversity of our customer base throughout the pandemic,
faring better than some of our peers with more concentrated end
markets. The strong contracted recurring nature of our business
model and our disciplined approach meant that cash collection
remained robust throughout the year.
We retained all our colleagues during the pandemic, and none
were furloughed, reflecting the continued high levels of demand for
our platform and the confidence we have in the financial strength
of the business.
Market
There is no doubt pandemic-related lockdowns and travel
restrictions have accelerated the general trend towards
digitalisation. Reporting strong top line growth in its Q3 results
at the end of April on the back of accelerated adoption of its
Teams communication and collaboration platform, Microsoft CEO Satya
Nadella said the pandemic had driven "two years' worth of digital
transformation in two months".
Perhaps not to the same extreme, a similar sentiment can be
applied to the pandemic's impact on the marketing industry. Digital
has been growing as a proportion of overall marketing budgets for
some time, but the pandemic has meant that to continue cultivating
leads and maintaining effective communication with customers,
marketing teams - many of which had previously relied on
face-to-face interactions - have had no choice but to make greater
use of digital channels, with email taking on an increasingly
significant role.
According to a recent survey of Fortune 1000 marketers by Chief
Marketer, a leading content portal for marketers, email is now
second only to social media as the most likely source of B2C
conversion post-COVID, having taken significant share from
in-person sales and live events. Respondents also reported a
dramatic increase in the effectiveness of email as a source of B2C
engagement. This is consistent with what we have been seeing, with
healthy levels of new business acquisition from May onwards and
more frequent and extensive use of email by existing customers.
We have also seen an increase in uptake of our omnichannel
offering during the pandemic, with 23% of customers now using more
than one channel. Organisations are keen to increase the number of
touch points with customers and prospects against a backdrop of
heightened economic uncertainty and reduced consumer spending. SMS
revenues have increased significantly, and we have seen an increase
in the number of customers making use of our real-time messaging
capabilities such as in-browser live chat. We have also seen a
trend towards an increase in the use of data-driven digital
marketing, as marketing strategies become mature and
customer-centric in ensuring they have a relevant and targeted
message at every touchpoint between the customer or prospect and
the brand.
Marketers will continue to shift and adapt their strategies as
the recovery from COVID continues, but now more than ever
organisations recognise the power of email and other digital
marketing channels, and these are likely to remain vital components
of marketing strategies around the world as we emerge from the
crisis. dotdigital understands the evolving needs of its customers
and is committed to continuing to develop and enhancing its
platform to help them be successful.
Growth strategy
dotdigital's organic growth strategy continues to be focused
around its three core pillars:
-- Geographic progress
-- Product innovation
-- Developing strategic partnerships
Geographic progress
All regions grew during the period, with the success of our
international expansion strategy evident in that revenue from
outside the UK was 31% of Group revenue for the year, up from 29%
in FY19. We expect this to trend to continue as we deploy more
investment in international regions.
International expansion is a key tenet of our growth strategy
and has been a significant area of investment in the period. We
have continued to strengthen our presence and enhance our prospects
across all territories, despite the challenges posed by the
pandemic, and expect to see that flow through to an improved top
line growth rate in our overseas businesses as we move into FY
20/21 and beyond.
EMEA
EMEA revenue grew 9% to GBP36.3m despite market uncertainties in
the second half of the financial year. Sales cycles lengthened
during the initial lockdown as prospects delayed technology
decisions and existing customers delayed project completions. As
lockdowns started to ease, we saw an uptick in momentum both from a
pipeline and sales conversion perspective.
North America
Revenues from North America were up 17% to US$10.5m from US$9.0m
in 2019. North America is a key growth market and we have invested
heavily in the region, including the appointment of an experienced
General Manager to lead an already strong team, create more
management bandwidth and bring greater experience of growing
companies in this region.
Our focus remains on growing relationships with partners to help
us build our presence while increasing brand awareness. We made a
great deal of progress on both fronts in the period - particularly
with Dynamics, Microsoft's line of enterprise resource planning and
customer relationship management software applications. In May, we
hired a partner manager who has experience in the space to enhance
our relationship. They have already made significant progress,
giving us confidence of increased traction in the space moving
forwards.
In the current financial year, we intend to hire more sales and
marketing resource in the region to accelerate our expansion plans
and help us achieve our scale ambitions.
APAC
APAC saw the highest levels of growth in the year, albeit from a
smaller base, with revenues growing 37%, from AUS$3.8m in 2019 to
AUS$5.2m. We continued to invest in our Singapore team in the
period and expect to see numbers of customer sign-ups through
partners and direct sales continue to increase as we build out our
presence there.
Product innovation
Functionality recurring revenues in the period grew 16% to
GBP14.4m (2019: GBP12.4m), illustrating continued growth in the
uptake of enhanced features, increased use of data and
demonstrating our ability to successfully drive more value from our
platform.
R&D investment in the year was GBP6.5m (2019: GBP5.5m),
consistent with management expectations. Despite the disruption
caused by the pandemic in the second half, we continued to execute
against our product strategy and our roadmap has continued to
develop as anticipated.
Our areas of focus for continued product innovation remain as
follows:
-- Data and intelligence - joining all data together to create a
single customer view and help our customers better target their
campaigns from a personalisation perspective. We have dedicated a
great deal of resource to this in response to increasingly
sophisticated customer requirements and will continue to do so
through FY 20/21, culminating in significant upgrades to the
platform.
-- Marketing automation - harnessing artificial intelligence and
machine learning across targeted parts of the platform's
architecture. This included the launch of sector-tailored product
packages for commerce customers and enhanced product
recommendations capabilities.
-- Building out further omnichannel functionality - to assist
businesses through the full customer journey at every touch point.
This included the launch of a new live chat solution through the
Engagement Cloud and additional SMS capabilities, with an increase
in take-up of both in the period.
A further area of focus in the period has been our reporting and
analytics capability. The level of recency, frequency, and monetary
insight we can provide has been enhanced, allowing customers to
better target individuals through the engagement curve.
Other key developments in the period include improving the end
user interface, bolstering our transactional email and messaging
capability for all of our integrations, and introducing concepts of
loyalty into the platform.
Developing strategic partnerships
We have continued to invest in all our strategic partner
relationships, which are important in raising brand awareness in
the regions and verticals in which we integrate, and are pleased
with the progress we have made in developing them and refining our
joint go-to-market strategies. Sales through connectors into
strategic partners increased 10% to GBP22.2m (2019: GBP20.3m).
At the same time, from a technical perspective, we have made
marked progress in optimising our integrations through both
improving our connectors, software architecture that models
interactions with our strategic partners' respective platforms, and
the rules that govern those interactions. The combination of these
continues to improve conversion rates.
Enhanced brand awareness alongside the additional functionality
we developed for e-commerce merchants drove further growth in the
Magento space. Sign-up of customers through Magento in all regions
remained strong - in the period we added 206 Magento customers to
the platform, taking the total to 716 as at the end of June 2020.
Revenue from Magento customers in the period grew 10% from GBP11.8m
to GBP13.0m.
All new Magento users continue to ship as standard with
dotdigital messaging capabilities and now also get our chat
functionality pre-installed, providing marketeers an increased
value proposition for their digital marketing strategies. The new
functionality allows us to capture the online conversations for
segmenting upon, for relevancy and better machine learning for
product recommendations and marketing automation. The introduction
of chat functionality allows us to add an additional source of lead
generation from the Magento community. Our respective teams
continue to work together on our joint marketing strategy and
enhanced development of our integration.
At the end of the financial year, we had 83 customers using the
Shopify connector versus 56 at the corresponding time last year. In
the year, revenue from Shopify customers grew 36% from GBP0.9m to
GBP1.2m. With the inclusion of the dotdigital platform in Shopify's
Plus Certified App Program, which is intended to make it easier for
Shopify Plus merchants to discover carefully selected,
best-of-breed apps, and our relationship continues to go from
strength to strength. In addition, we have seen an increasing
pipeline resulting from the integration that we have built with
Shopify Flow, which allows e-commerce merchants a seamless
connection to easily deploy campaigns from the dotdigital platform.
We continue to build relationships with system integrators in the
partner ecosystem to drive demand for the platform.
As Big Commerce's global elite partner, we continue to deepen
our strategic relationship, formulating a joint go-to market plan
through offers for e-commerce merchants, and joint marketing
efforts to the user base. This will enable us to increase our
addressable market across all regions, and we are already starting
to see more customers using the integration as a result.
As previously mentioned, in May we hired a North American
partner manager to build our strategic relationship with Microsoft
for the integration of our platform into Dynamics 365, where we see
a significant opportunity. Revenues from customers using our
Dynamics connector were broadly flat at GBP3.8m in the period. We
expect to see this grow in the current financial year as we begin
to build on the strong foundations we have laid and take market
share.
Current trading and outlook
As reported in the trading update published in October, the new
financial year has started well with a strong first quarter sales
performance driven by existing customer growth, new customer wins
and significant take up of non-email channels.
This strong performance has continued into October and the Board
now expects to deliver a greater rate of revenue growth this
financial year versus current consensus expectations. The strong
performance has been driven by continued take up of non-email
channels, predominantly SMS, which is a lower margin product than
email. The incremental margin will be reinvested in the business to
drive future growth, in line with the previously stated strategy
and the Board is confident on achieving consensus earnings and cash
for the full year to 30 June 2021.
It is critical we remain alert to external factors and continue
to monitor the international COVID-19 response closely, but with
encouraging momentum in the business, good revenue visibility and
continued strong cash generation, we find ourselves in a position
of relative strength. Confident FY21 will be another year of
substantial growth and good progress against our strategy.
Our balance sheet is in good shape and we intend to continue to
invest in our platform to cement our market-leading position and
ensure we continue to grow sustainably and profitably for many
years to come.
I would like to take this opportunity to again thank all our
colleagues around the world for the way they have responded to the
events of the past few months. They have demonstrated exceptional
levels of commitment and have worked tirelessly under unprecedented
circumstances to ensure we continue to deliver a first-class
service to our customers and move forward as a business.
Financial Review
Revenues
The Group achieved continuing operations revenue growth of 12%
(2019: 15%), which delivered record overall revenues of GBP47.4m,
despite the impact of the pandemic in the fourth quarter of our
financial year. The quality of the revenue growth is evidenced by
increased recurring revenues of 91%. The Group continued to grow
internationally with revenues accounting for 31% of the total
(2019: 29%).
Business model
The Group generates the majority of its revenues from annual
message plans which are recognised equally over the life of the
contract. In addition, we sell upgrade packages to customers
allowing them to use additional modules and features of our
platform. For more sophisticated customers we offer customised
functionality and integrations so that they can maximise the use of
their customer data. These professional services contracts are
recognised as revenue as the work is performed. Over the past year
we have built other messaging channels into our core platform,
including SMS and Live Chat, and access to these channels are sold
separately.
Gross margin
The gross margin for the period for continuing operations was
87% (2019: 90%). The decline in gross margin comes from the growth
of non-email messaging channels, and in particular SMS. We continue
to see value in both the direct and indirect models of selling in
our international regions, and hence continue to invest in building
long-term annuity revenues.
Operating expenses
Adjusted operating profit from continuing operations grew by 11%
from GBP11.8m to GBP13.1m. Operating expenses as a percentage of
revenues dropped from 62% to 59%, reflecting the growth in revenue.
dotdigital continues to invest in people in the areas of
development, sales and marketing, particularly within the regional
offices, to continue enhancing and adding to the product suite.
Balance sheet
There was strong cash management in the year with net cash
generated from continuing operations of GBP18.2m (2019: GBP13.3m).
The cash balance at the end of the period was GBP25.4m (2019:
GBP19.3m). The Group continues to be debt free and maintains a
healthy balance sheet. A combination of a highly efficient cash
collection process and an incentivisation push to move more
customers onto Direct Debit and automated credit card collection
helped with the year-end position.
Trade receivables have only grown by 8% in the year, reflecting
revenue growth and good cash management. Overall receivables have
grown 6% due to the deferment of marketing expenditure such as
tradeshows and conferences which have been postponed due to Covid
and deferred commission.
The Group continues to invest heavily in the platform to
increase functionality around marketing automation, increasing the
number of messaging channels and surfacing data and providing
insights for our customers to provide excellent customer
engagement. This continued investment is demonstrated by the
increase in product development to GBP6.5m from GBP5.5m in
2019.
Goodwill
GBP9.1m of goodwill reflects the acquisition of Comapi in
2017/18, for a cash consideration of GBP10.7m. Identifiable
intangible assets included GBP1.2m of technology and GBP1.2m of
customer relationships. The former has been fully amortised in the
year. As the Comapi CPaaS technology was successfully fully
integrated into the Engagement Cloud platform, this has now become
part of the dotdigital offering, leading to goodwill reflecting the
technology and know-how of the Engagement Cloud platform, as
opposed to the discontinued operational part of Comapi.
Tax
Profitability from continuing operations continues to grow. This
is reflected within the tax charge, which is now GBP0.8m with an
effective tax rate of 6%, with a lower than standard rate due to
enhanced R&D tax credits.
EPS
In the year the continued operations adjusted basic EPS was
3.84p (2019: 3.93p) and adjusted diluted EPS was 3.79p (2019:
3.88p). Despite a higher level of pre-tax profit, the decrease in
adjusted EPS is driven by an increased tax rate of 6% (2019:
1%).
Dividend policy
As announced last year, the Board conducted its review of its
organic business plan for the following three years. This included
evaluating the cash needs required for opportunities in organic
growth to increase shareholder value and capital expenditure. The
Board decided that it will continue to keep a progressive dividend
in line with EBITDA growth. Therefore, subject to approval at the
AGM in December 2020, the Board proposes that the Group will pay a
final dividend of 0.83 pence per ordinary share (2019: 0.67p); to
be payable at the end of January 2021.

DOTDIGITAL GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEARED 30 JUNE 2020
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
dotdigital Group Plc ("dotdigital") is a public limited company
incorporated in England and Wales and quoted on the AIM Market.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union (IFRSs as adopted by the EU) and those parts of
Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention.
The Group has applied all accounting standards and
interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board and the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective at the time
of preparing the financial statements.
New and amended standards adopted by the Company
The Group has applied IFRS 16 Leases for the first time for the
year commencing 1 July 2019. The Group has applied the modified
approach from 1 July 2019 but has not restated comparatives for the
year ended 30 June 2019, as permitted under the specific
transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and
the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore
recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities
in relation to leases which had previously been classified as
'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These
liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining
lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing
rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental
borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was
2.7%.
For leases previously classified as finance leases, the Group
recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease
liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of
the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of
initial application. The measurement principles of IFRS 16 are only
applied after that date. These finance leases were not remeasured
at the date of initial application as they are considered
immaterial.
The associated right-of-use assets for property leases and other
right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease
liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease
payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as
at 30 June 2019. There were no onerous lease contracts that would
have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date
of initial application.
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the group has used the
following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
- the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases
with reasonably similar characteristics
- reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous
- the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease
term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term
leases
- the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of
the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application, and
- the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the
contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract
is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application.
Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date, the
Group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4
Determining whether an Arrangement contains a lease.

FOR THE YEARED 30 JUNE 2020
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
There are no standards that are not yet effective and that would
be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current
or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future
transactions.
The financial statements are presented in sterling (GBP),
rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.
Basis of consolidation
In the period ended 2009 the Company acquired via a share for
share exchange the entire issued share capital of Dotdigital EMEA
Limited, whose principal activity is that of providing SaaS via a
leading omni-channel marketing automation platform and managed
services to digital marketing professionals.
Under IFRS 3 'Business combinations' the Dotdigital EMEA Limited
share exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
Although these consolidated financial statements have been issued
in the name of the legal parent, the Company it represents in
substance is a continuation of the financial information of the
legal subsidiary, Dotdigital EMEA Limited. The following accounting
treatment has been applied in respect of the reverse
acquisition:
- the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary, Dotdigital
EMEA Limited, are recognised and measured in the consolidated
financial statements at their pre-combination carrying amounts,
without restatement to their fair value;
- the retained reserves recognised in the consolidated financial
statements for the beginning of the prior period reflect the
retained reserves of Dotdigital EMEA Limited to 30 April 2008.
However, in accordance with IFRS3 'Business combinations', the
equity structure appearing in the consolidated financial statements
reflects the equity structure of the legal parent dotdigital Group
Plc, including the equity instruments issued under the share
exchange to effect the business combination;
- A reverse acquisition reserve has been created to enable the
presentation of a consolidated balance sheet which combines the
equity structure of the legal parent with the non-statutory
reserves of the legal subsidiary;
- Comparative numbers are prepared on the same basis.
The following accounting treatment has been applied in respect
of the acquisition of dotdigital Group Plc:
- The assets and liabilities of dotdigital Group Plc are
recognised and measured in the consolidated financial statements at
their fair value at the date of acquisition.
- The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of
the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities
incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly
attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair values at the date of acquisition,
irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of
the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of
the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If
the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net
assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised
directly in the income statement.
DOTDIGITAL GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEARED 30 JUNE 2020
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity whose operating and financing policies
are controlled by the Group. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the
date on which control was transferred to the Group. Subsidiaries
cease to be consolidated from
the date the Group no longer has control. Intercompany
transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between
Group companies have been eliminated on consolidation.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business
combinations. In the statement of financial position, the
acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities are initially
recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.
As a result of applying reverse acquisition accounting since 30
January 2009, the consolidated IFRS financial information of
dotdigital Group Plc is a continuation of the financial information
of dotdigital EMEA Limited.
Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received
or receivable for the sale of services in the ordinary course of
the Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of value added tax
returns, rebates and discounts after eliminating sales within the
Group.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be
reliably measured and it is probable that the future economic
benefits will flow to the entity. The Group bases its estimates on
historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer,
the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
The Group sells omni-channel marketing services to other
businesses, and services are either provided on a usage basis or
fixed price bespoke contract. All revenue is from contracts signed
with new customers and upgrades and additional functional recurring
revenue sold to existing contracted clients. Revenue from contracts
is recognised under percentage of completion method based on a
percentage of services performed to date as a percentage of the
total services to be performed.
Professional services at no charge: The Group sells professional
services to its customers and there are occasions when these
services are provided at no cost as part of the contract sold. The
services provided for no charge are recognised and accounted for as
separate performance obligations when the service occurs. The
amount allocated to the services is deducted from the contract
value and the remainder of the contract value is spread evenly over
the term of the contract.
Prepaid contracts: The Group sells 12-, 24- and 36-month
contracts to its customers. This revenue is recognised monthly over
the period of the contract. Where a customer prepays their
contract, this is recognised over the period of the contract
irrespective of materiality.
Term contract billing: The Group raises the first invoice to its
new customers when the service agreement is signed. Occasionally,
the service does not start in the same month as when the service
agreement is signed but is invoiced in the month where the service
agreement is signed. The revenue is then recognised over the period
of the contract irrespective of materiality.
Going concern
The Directors, at the time of approving the financial
statements, have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the
Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going
concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Further detail is contained in the Directors' report. The impact of
COVID 19 is discussed within the CEO report and Risk section in the
front end of the report.
Operating profit
Operating profit is stated after charging operating expenses but
before finance costs.
DOTDIGITAL GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEARED 30 JUNE 2020
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Dividends
Final dividend distributions to the Company's shareholders are recognised
as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which
the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders while interim
dividends distributions are recognised in the period in which the
dividends are declared and paid.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration
over the fair values of the identifiable net tangible and intangible
assets acquired and is allocated to cash generating units.
Under IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", goodwill arising on acquisitions
is not subject to amortisation but is subject to annual impairment
testing. Any impairment is recognised immediately in the income
statement and not subsequently reversed.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments are held as non-current assets at cost less any provision
for impairment. Where the recoverable amount of the investment is
less than the carrying amount, impairment is recognised.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recorded as separately identifiable assets
and recognised at historical cost less any accumulated amortisation.
These assets are amortised over their useful economic lives of four
to five years, with the charge included in administrative expenses
in the income statement.
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually. Impairment
is measured by determining the recoverable amount of an asset or
cash generating unit (CGU) which is the greater of its value in
use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present
value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets
that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the
smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing
use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets
or CGUs.
- Domain names
Acquired domain names are shown at historical cost. Domain names
have a finite life and are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using straight-line method
to allocate the cost of domain names over their useful lives of
four years.
- Software
Acquired software and websites are shown at historical cost.
They have a finite life and are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using straight-line method
to allocate the cost of software and websites over their useful
lives of four years.
- Product development
Product development expenditure is capitalised when it is
considered that there is a commercially and technically viable
product, the related expenditure is separately identifiable and
there is a reasonable expectation that the related expenditure will
be exceeded by future revenues. Following initial recognition,
product developments are carried at cost less any accumulated
amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful
lives of these intangible assets are assessed to have a finite life
of five years. Amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives,
and until economic benefit can be received and recognised, this
expense is taken to the income statement and useful lives are
reviewed on an annual basis. Amortisation is charged from the point
when the asset is available for use.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria
are recognised as an expense as incurred. Capitalised development
costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the
point at which they are ready for use on a straight-line basis over
their useful life.
DOTDIGITAL GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEARED 30 JUNE 2020
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design
and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as
intangible assets when the following criteria are fulfilled:
- It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so
that it will be available for use or resale;
- Management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or
sell it;
- There is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
- It can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate
possible future economic benefits;
- Adequate technical, financial and other resource to complete
the development and to use or sell the intangible asset are
available; and
- The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during
its development can be reliably measured.
-Technology
Technology represents the cost that would be incurred to build
the entire Comapi platform had the acquisition not occurred. The
useful life of this intangible asset is assessed to have a finite
life of 10 years. Amortisation is charged on assets with finite
lives, and until economic benefit can be received and recognised,
this expense is taken to the income statement and useful lives are
reviewed on an annual basis. Amortisation is charged from the point
when the asset is available for use.
-Customer relationships
This represents the value of high-value customer contracts
within Comapi. The useful life of this intangible asset is assessed
to have a finite life of three years. Amortisation is charged on
assets with finite lives, and until economic benefit can be
received and recognised, this expense is taken to the income
statement and useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis.
Amortisation is charged from the point when the asset is available
for use.
Impairment of non-financial assets (excluding goodwill)
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying
amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether
there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent
of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate
cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to
which the asset belongs. An intangible asset with an indefinite
useful life is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is
an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Property, plant and equipment
Tangible non-current assets are stated at historical cost less
accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that
is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets' carrying amount or
recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits are associated with the item
will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income
statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write
off each asset over its estimated useful life and is based on the
cost of assets less residual value. Significant components of
individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life
that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component
is depreciated separately.
Right of use assets: over the term of the lease
Fixtures and fittings: 25% on cost
Computer equipment: 25% on cost
The assets' residual values and useful economic lives are
reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting date. An
asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than
its estimated recoverable value.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the
proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within other
(losses) or gains in the income statement.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure it is able to continue
as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders
through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The
capital structure of the Group consists of cash equivalents and
equity attributable to the owners of the parent as disclosed in the
statement of changes in equity.
Taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Tax is recognised in the income statement, to the extent that it
relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax
Current taxes are based on the results shown in the financial
statements and are calculated according to local tax rules, using
tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet
date.
Deferred taxation
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability
method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it
is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary difference will be utilised.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been
enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income asset is
realised or deferred income tax liability is settled.
Leases
As described in note 1, the Group has applied IFRS 16 using the
modified retrospective approach with effect from 1
July 2019 and therefore comparative information has not been
restated. Comparative information is therefore still reported under
IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
Accounting policy applicable before 1 July 2019:
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all
of the benefits and risks of ownership do not transfer to the
lessee are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis
over the period of the lease.
Accounting policy applicable from 1 July 2019:
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities
in relation to leases which had previously been classified as
'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These
liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining
lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing
rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental
borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was
2.7%.
For leases previously classified as finance leases, the Group
recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease
liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of
the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of
initial application. The measurement principles of IFRS 16 are only
applied after that date. These finance leases were not remeasured
at the date of initial application as they are considered
immaterial.

Adjusted earnings per share for all operations and for continuing
operations decreased by 0.03p per share for the year to 30 June
2020 as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16. There was no impact
on the adjusted earnings per share for discontinued operations
for the year to 30 June 2020.
Practical expedients applied
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the group has used the
following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
- the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases
with reasonably similar characteristics
- reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous
- the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease
term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term
leases
- the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of
the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application, and
- the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the
contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
DOTDIGITAL GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract
is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application.
Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the
Group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4
Determining whether an Arrangement contains a lease.
The Group's leasing activities and how these are accounted
for
The group leases various offices, equipment and cars. Rental
contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 10 years but
may have extension options as described in (i) below. Lease terms
are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of
different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose
any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for
borrowing purposes.
Until 30 June 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment and
cars were classified as either finance or operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives
received from the lessor) were charged to the income statement on a
straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset
and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset
is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated
between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged
to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated
over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a
straight-line basis.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially
measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the
net present value of the following lease payments:
- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less
any lease incentives receivable
- variable lease payment that are based on an index or a
rate
- amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual
value guarantees
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is
reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease
term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the
lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that
the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to
obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment
with similar terms and conditions.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the
following:
- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date
less any lease incentives received
- any initial direct costs, and
- restoration costs.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of
low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an
expense in the income statement. Short-term leases are leases with
a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT
equipment and small items of office furniture.
Extension and termination options
Extension and termination options are included in a number of
property and equipment leases across the Group. These terms are
used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing
contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held
are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.
None of the total lease payments made in the period to 30 June 2020
were optional.
DOTDIGITAL GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
FOR THE YEARED 30 JUNE 2020
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts
and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an
extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension
options (or periods after termination options) are only included in
the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended
(or not terminated). Potential future cash outflows have not been
included in the lease liability because it is not reasonably
certain that the leases will be extended (or not terminated), the
amount of these cash flows is uncertain as several rounds of rent
reviews are due before this extension date.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the
statement of financial position when an entity becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and
financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition
or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the
financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on
initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the
acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the
income statement.
Financial assets
The Group's accounting policies for financial assets are set out
below.
Management determine the classification of its financial assets
at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the
financial assets were acquired and, where allowed and appropriate,
revaluate this designation at every reporting date.
All financial assets are recognised on a trade date when, and
only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of an instrument. When financial assets are recognised initially,
they are measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except for
those finance assets classified as at fair value through profit or
loss ('FVTPL'), which are initially measured at fair value.
Financial assets are classified into the following specified
categories: financial assets at FVTPL, 'held-to-maturity'
investments, 'available for sale' (AFS) financial assets and loans
and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and
purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of
recognition.
Financial assets are classified into the following specified
categories: financial assets at FVPL, 'amortised cost' or 'fair
value through other comprehensive income' ('FVOCI'). The
classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial
assets and is determined at the time of recognition.
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at
each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there
is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the
estimated future cash flows of the investment have been
impacted.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade
receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired
individually, the Group recognises lifetime expected credit losses
('ECL') when there has been a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the
financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial
recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that
financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will
result from all possible default events over the expected life of a
financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the
portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default
events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months
after the reporting date.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised
cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the
sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in
profit or loss.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
- Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand,
demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and
short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible
into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three
months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are
repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash
management are also included as a component of cash and cash
equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash
flows.
- Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the lower of their
original invoiced value and recoverable amount. A provision is made
when it is likely that the balance will not be recovered in full.
Terms on receivables range from 30 to 90 days.
- Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity are recognised on the Group's
statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to a
contractual provision of an instrument. Financial liabilities and
equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to
the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the
definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An
equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual
interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised
at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs.
The Group's financial liabilities include trade payables and
accrued liabilities.
- Trade payables
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. Terms on accounts payable range from 10 to 90
days.
Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the holding of foreign currencies
will affect the Group's position as a result of a change in foreign
currency exchange rates. The Group has no significant foreign
currency risk as most of the Group's financial assets and
liabilities are denominated in functional currencies of relevant
Group entities. Accordingly, no quantitative market risk
disclosures or sensitivity analysis for currency risks have been
prepared.
The results and nancial position of all the Group entities (none
of which has the currency of a hyper-in ationary economy) that have
a functional currency different from the presentation currency are
translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are
translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance
sheet;
(b) income and expenses for each income statement are translated
at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on
the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are
translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
(c) all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other
comprehensive income.

Equity
Share capital is the amount subscribed for shares at their
nominal value.
Share premium represents the excess of the amount subscribed for
the share capital over the nominal value of the respective shares
net of share issue expenses.
Retained earnings represent the cumulative earnings of the Group
attributable to equity shareholders.
The reverse acquisition reserve relates to the adjustment
required by accounting for the reverse acquisition in accordance
with IFRS 3 'Business combinations'.
Other reserves relate to the charge for share-based payments in
accordance with IFRS 2 'Share-based Payments'.
Share-based payments
For equity-settled share-based payment transactions the Group,
in accordance with IFRS 2 'Share-Based Payments' measures their
value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by
reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The
fair value of those equity instruments is measured at the grant
date using the trinomial method. The expense is apportioned over
the vesting period of the financial instrument and is based on the
number which is expected to vest and the fair value of those
financial instruments at the date of grant. If the equity
instruments granted vest immediately, the expense is recognised in
full.
Functional currency translation
- Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are
measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates (functional currency), which is mainly
pounds sterling (GBP) and it is this currency the financial
statements are presented in.
- Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the
year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income
statement.
Employee benefit costs
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme.
Contributions payable by the Group's pension scheme are charged to
the income statement in the period in which they relate.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker,
who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments as identified by the Board of
Directors.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk
The Group has certain investments in foreign operations, whose
net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. As
well as naturally mitigating this risk by offsetting its cost base
in the same currencies where possible, currency exposure arising
from the net assets of the Group's foreign operations is managed
through cash balances denominated in the relevant foreign
currencies.
The Group is mainly exposed to the US Dollar, Australian Dollar,
Singaporean Dollar, Euro, Belarusian Ruble, South African Rand and
Polish Zloty currencies.
The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 10%
increase or decrease in Sterling against the relevant foreign
currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate which represents
management's assessment of the reasonable possible change in
foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only
outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts
their translation at the period end of a 10% change in foreign
currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in
profit where Sterling strengthens 10% against the relevant
currency. For a 10% weakening of Sterling against the relevant
currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit
and other equity, and the balances below would be negative or
positive.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the
future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on
historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from
these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year are discussed below:
Judgements
(a) Capitalisation of development costs
Our business model is underpinned by our email and data-driven
omni--channel marketing automation platform, dotmailer. Internal
activities are continually undertaken to enhance and maintain the
product in a bid to stay ahead of our competition. Management
review the work of developers during the period and make the
following judgements:
-Internal work relating to product development is reviewed
against IAS 38 criteria and will be capitalised if management feel
the criteria have been met.
-Internal work relating to the maintenance of existing products
is expensed to the income statement and accounted for in payroll
costs.
(b) Valuation of intangibles
The recognition of business combinations requires the excess of
the purchase price of acquisitions over the net book value of
assets acquired to be allocated to the assets and liabilities of
the acquired entity. The Group makes judgements and estimates in
relation to the fair value allocation of the purchase price. If any
unallocated portion is positive it is recognised as goodwill and if
negative, it is recognised in the consolidated income
statement.
Judgement is required in determining the fair value of
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent assets and
liabilities assumed in a business combination and the fair value of
the consideration payable. Calculating the fair values involves the
use of significant estimates and assumptions, including
expectations about future cash flows, discount rates and the lives
of assets following purchase.
Estimates and assumptions
(a) Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Directors have carried out a detailed impairment review in
respect of goodwill. The Group assesses at each reporting date
whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, by
considering the net present value of discounted cash flow forecasts
which have been discounted at 6.2%. The cash flow projections are
based on the assumption that the Group can realise projected sales.
A prudent approach has been applied with no residual value being
factored.
Further details on the estimates and assumptions we make in our
annual impairment testing of goodwill are included in note 13 to
the financial statements. At the period end, based on the
assumptions, there was no indication of impairment to the carrying
value of goodwill.
(b) Share-based compensation
Key management believe that there will not be only one
acceptable choice for estimating the fair value of share-based
payment arrangements. The judgements and estimates that management
apply in determination of the share-based compensation are
summarised below:
-Selection of a valuation model
-Making assumptions used in determining the variables used in a
valuation model
i. expected life
ii. expected volatility
iii. expected dividend yield
iv. interest rate
DOTDIGITAL GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Further detail on the estimates and assumptions we make in our
share-based compensation are included in note 27 to the financial
statements. The charge made to income statement for period is also
disclosed here.
(c) Depreciation and amortisation
The Group depreciates short leasehold, fixtures and fittings,
computer equipment and amortises computer software, internally
generated development costs and domain names on a straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives
reflect the Directors' estimate of the periods that the Group
intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of the
Group's short leasehold fixtures and fittings, computer equipment,
computer software, internally generated development costs and
domain names.
(d) Bad debt provision
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and grant
credit based upon past payment history, financial condition and
anticipated industry conditions. Customer payments are regularly
monitored and a provision for doubtful accounts is established
based upon specific situations and overall industry conditions.
Hence the provision is maintained for potential credit losses based
upon management's assessment of the expected collectability of all
accounts receivable. In making this assessment, management take
into consideration (i) any circumstances of which we are aware
regarding a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations
and (ii) our judgements as to potential prevailing economic
conditions in the industry and their potential impact on the
Group's customers.
Where a general provision is set then specific rationale will be
set against this which will be a combination of looking at
historical data to ascertain the percentage of debt which goes bad.
Plus set against debts within a specific business sector which
might be facing financial difficulty, thereby leading to a deemed
higher risk of defaulting on their debts.
(e) Lease accounting - incremental borrowing rate
IFRS 16 "Leases" requires lease payments to be discounted using
the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. The Group's incremental
borrowing rate, as at the date of adoption of IFRS 16, has been
based on local commercial bank loans. Management have taken the
view that specific costs of borrowing should be applied to each
lease as this reflects the different economic conditions within
each geography and hence is more representative of the funding
facilities available in those countries.

The main rate of UK corporation tax in the period was 19%. In
March 2020, the Chancellor announced that the planned reduction in
the corporation tax rate to 17% from 1 April 2020 would no longer
take place, and the rate would remain at 19% going forwards.
Following a Budget resolution on 17 March 2020, the 19% rate was
substantively enacted. Accordingly, UK deferred balances have been
recognised at 19% in the period.

Meeting and has not been included as a liability in these financial statements.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share data is based on the consolidated profit
using and the weighted average number of shares in issue of the
Parent Company. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing
the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted
average number of shares adjusted to assume the conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares. Adjusted earnings per share is
based on the consolidated profit deducting the acquisition related
exceptional costs and share-based payment.
A number of non-IFRS adjusted profit measures are used in this
annual report and financial statements. Adjusting items are
excluded from our headline performance measures by virtue of their
size and nature, in order to reflect management's view of the
performance of the Group. Summarised below is a reconciliation
between statutory results to adjusted results. The Group believes
that alternative performance measures such as adjusted EBITDA are
commonly reported by companies in the markets in which it competes
and are widely used by investors in comparing performance on a
consistent basis without regard to factors such as depreciation and
amortisation, which can vary significantly depending upon
accounting methods (particularly when acquisitions have occurred),
or based on factors which do not reflect the underlying performance
of the business. The adjusted profit after tax earnings measure is
also used for the purpose of calculating adjusted earnings per
share.
Reconciliations to earnings figures used in arriving at adjusted
earnings per share are as follows:

Goodwill is allocated to the Group's two cash generating units
identified, that being dotdigital and Comapi.
Goodwill arising on business combinations is not amortised but
is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently
if there are indications that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill
acquired in a business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to
cash generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from that
business combination.
The carrying amount of goodwill relates to the Group's two
trading activities and business segments. This has been tested for
impairment during the current period by comparison with the
recoverable amounts of the CGU. Recoverable amounts for CGUs are
based on the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to
sell. The recoverable amounts of the CGU have been determined from
value in use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow
projections based on financial budgets approved by management
covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period
are extrapolated using the estimated growth rate for the continuing
operations of the group. These long-term growth rates are
management's estimates. The discount rates used are pre-tax and
reflect specific risks relating to the continuing operations of the
group.
The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those
regarding discount rates, growth rates, and expected changes in
margins.
Discount rate
Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that
reflect the current market assessment of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the CGUs. The pre-tax discount rate used
to calculate the value in use is 6.2% (2019: 6.2%).
Growth rates
The growth rate is stated as the compound annual growth rates in
the initial five years for the continuing operations of the group
which are then used for impairment testing. These are performed
using the projected cash flows based on budgets approved by
management over a five-year period. Cash flow projections from the
sixth year onwards are based on an estimated constant growth rate.
The growth rate used to calculate the value in use is 12% (2019:
19%).

FOR THE YEARED 30 JUNE 2020
13. GOODWILL continued........
Gross profit margin
Changes in income and expenditure are based on experience and
expectations of the future changes in the market. The impairment
review is based on these estimated gross profit margins which were
included with the budgets approved by management over a five-year
period. From the sixth year onwards, an assumed constant margin is
used. The gross profit margin used to calculate the value in use is
86% (2019: 90%).
The valuations indicate sufficient headroom such that a
reasonably possible change in key assumptions would not result in
impairment of goodwill.
Sensitivity analysis
The principal variables used, being both the discount rate and
growth rates, these would need to change before an impairment is
required, this being 155% discount rate and growth rate of
(17%).

23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks
that include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and
interest rate risk. These risks and the Group's policies for
managing them have been applied consistently during the year and
are set out below.
The Group holds no financial or other non-financial instruments
other than those utilised in the working operations of the Group
and that are listed in this note. It is the Group's policy not to
trade in derivative contracts.
Principal financial instruments
The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from
which financial instrument rate risk arises, are as follows:
-Trade receivables
-Cash and cash equivalents
-Trade and other payables

The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities
is equal to their carrying values. All financial assets are
categorised as loans and receivables and all financial liabilities
are categorised as financial liabilities at amortised costs.
General objectives, policies and processes
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of
the Group's risk management objectives and policies and whilst
retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the
authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the
effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the
Group's Risk Committee. The Board receives quarterly reports from
the Risk Committee through which it reviews the effectiveness of
the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the
objectives and policies it sets.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek
to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the
Company's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details
regarding these policies are set out below:
Interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises from interest-bearing
assets and liabilities. The Group has in place a policy of
maximising finance income by ensuring that cash balances earn a
market rate of interest offsetting where possible cash balances,
and by forecasting and financing its working capital requirements.
As at the reporting date the Group was not exposed to any movement
in interest rates as it has no external borrowings and therefore is
not exposed to interest rate risk. No sensitivity analysis has been
prepared.
The Group's working capital requirements are managed through
regular monitoring of the overall cash position and regularly
updated cash flow forecasts to ensure there are sufficient funds
available for its operations.
Liquidity risk
The Group's working capital requirements are managed through
regular monitoring of the overall position and regularly updated
cash flow forecasts to ensure there are funds available for its
operations. Management forecasts indicate no new borrowing
facilities will be required in the upcoming financial period.
Trade and other payables of GBP3,712,000 (2019: GBP5,287,000)
are expected to mature in less than a year.

Credit risk
Credit risk arises principally from the Group's trade
receivables, as there are no trade receivables within the Company,
which comprise amounts due from customers. Prior to accepting new
customers a credit check is obtained. As at 30 June 2020 there were
no significant debts past their due period which had not been
provided for. The maturity of the Group's trade receivables is as
follows:

---------
As at 30 June 1,589 999
========= ========
The Group minimises its credit risk by profiling all new
customers and monitoring existing customers of the Group for
changes in their initial profile. The level of trade receivables
older than the average collection period consisted of a value of
GBP2,960,513 (2019: GBP2,053,528) of which GBP1,574,891 (2019:
GBP972,221) was provided for. The Group felt that the remainder
would be collected post year end as they were with long-standing
relationships, and the risk of default is considered to be low and
write-offs due to bad debts are extremely low. The Group has no
significant concentration of credit risk, with the exposure spread
over a large number of customers.
The credit risk on liquid funds is low as the counterparts are
banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit
rating bodies. The majority of the Company's cash holdings are held
at NatWest Bank which has a BBB+ credit rating.
The carrying value of both financial assets and liabilities
approximates to fair value.
Capital policy
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard
its ability to continue as a going concern in order to

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT - continued
provide optimal returns for shareholders and to maintain an
efficient capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In doing so the Group's strategy is to maintain a capital
structure commensurate with a strong credit rating and to retain
appropriate levels of liquidity headroom to ensure financial
stability and flexibility. To achieve this, the Group monitors key
credit metrics, risk and fixed charge cover to maintain this
position. In addition the Group ensures a combination of
appropriate short-term and long-term liquidity headroom.
During the year the Group had a short-term loan balance of
GBPnil (2019: GBPnil) and amounts payable over one year are nil
(2019: GBPnil). The Group had a strong cash reserve to utilise for
any short-term capital requirements that were needed by the
Group.
The Group has continued to look for a further long-term
investments or acquisitions and therefore, to maintain or re-align
the capital structure, the Group may adjust when dividends are paid
to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares
or borrow from lenders.

of the LTIP scheme at the AGM on 19 December 2017 and the end-to-end
awards that were granted to key personnel.
