Operational and Financial Review

During the six months ended 31 March 2015, Fusionex has continued to build on the progress achieved last year and in particular the ongoing momentum in sales of the Group's Big Data Analytics software, GIANT.

Revenue for the period increased 26% to MYR 31.6 million (2014: MYR 25.0 million), with adjusted EBITDA up 36% to MYR 13.6 million (2014: MYR 10.0 million). This performance reflects the strong levels of client confidence in the Company's business intelligence and analytics offering, together with 25 wins for GIANT since its launch, of which 12 were secured in the period under review, demonstrating the increased penetration of GIANT across different geographies and industry verticals.

As announced on 11 February, Fusionex declared an interim dividend of approximately 2.10 pence per share, amounting to GBP903,000 in total, to shareholders on the register as at 20 February 2015. The payment was made on 13 March 2015.

In view of the Group's strong first half performance, and current high levels of demand for its product offering, the Board remains confident that Fusionex is well placed for further growth.

The Big Data market continues to drive the Group's new business activities, with 25 new GIANT wins secured since launch, taking it closer to management's target of 30 wins by the end of this financial year. Encouragingly, these contracts have been secured across a range of industries and geographies. In the first half, 87% of revenues came from Asia Pacific (FY 2014: 72%), 10% from Europe (FY 2014: 22%) and 3% from North America (FY 2014: 6%). Notable recent contract wins include:

-- Intel, the world's largest chip maker, which is using GIANT for an Internet of Things (IoT) initiative, applying Big Data analytics to its equipment and sensors in order to achieve operational efficiencies and cost savings in its manufacturing processes. Intel has integrated GIANT's Big Data analytics and the IoT in manufacturing, with the initiative expected to save Intel millions of dollars annually, in a significant validation of GIANT's capabilities.

-- A multi-year contract for a Smart Government initiative following a competitive tender, taking Fusionex into a new geography in Asia. This exciting initiative will see the Group supporting immigration and cross border control by analysing data to find insights and patterns for better management, both of tourism opportunities and security threats. Smart Government is an area of significant growth potential for Big Data and this contract will assist the Group in opening up other opportunities.

-- Brother Industries, a multi-national electronics and electrical equipment company, was the 25(th) win for GIANT, signed shortly following the period under review. Brother Industries will leverage Fusionex GIANT to monitor its daily operations across different geographies and time zones, enabling it to enhance management decisions, customer experience and business planning.

In addition, the increasing number of other customers using GIANT, which includes AEON, one of the largest retailers in Japan, and Yeo Hiap Seng, an Asian based fast moving consumer goods group, confirms the Group's position as a leading Big Data provider and strengthens its ability to attract additional GIANT customers.

The breadth and range of Fusionex's big data contracts demonstrate the increasing industry-agnostic interest in utilising technology to leverage and monetise the wealth of data available to organisations. As enterprise data continues to increase - with Gartner forecasting it will increase by 650% in the next five years - and as the Internet of Things accelerates, demand for Big Data Analytics ("BDA") is also gathering pace. In a recent Capgemini Consulting survey, "Cracking the Data Conundrum: How Successful Companies make Big Data Operational", 60% of the 226 respondents questioned, across multiple regions and business types globally, said they believe "that Big Data will disrupt their industry within the next three years". Meanwhile Gartner is predicting that by 2020, there will be as many as 26 billion connected devices, versus 3.9 billion in 2014, and this will drive rapid growth of accompanying BDA, with an anticipated CAGR of nearly 30% over the next five years (according to the International Institute of Analytics). The growth in data and the attendant need for real-time insights presents a considerable challenge to all organisations and Fusionex's GIANT offering represents an attractive solution, as demonstrated by the contract wins to date.

Underpinning Fusionex's ability to access this demand is its ongoing investment in product development, marketing and channels to market. The Company continues to strengthen its team in order to take advantage of the opportunities available, both in its core Asia Pacific markets and newer geographies. The recent launch of its own Big Data Academy, together with Fusionex's commitment to the National Big Data Analytics Innovation Network in Malaysia, will also ensure that it continues to lead the way in big data innovation, and attract and retain the best talent to support the Group's product development. In Singapore, Fusionex works closely with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) on Smart City, Smart Nation initiatives.

Last year, the Group signed three channel partner agreements, Revolution Analytics, EMC and AvNet, and is beginning to see good traction via this route to market. Post-period end, in April 2015, the Group was also delighted to announce its fourth channel partnership with Mesiniaga Berhad ("Mesiniaga") (MYX: MSNIAGA), a leading ICT solutions provider and systems integrator in Malaysia, which will enable Fusionex to leverage Mesiniaga's extensive distribution network with Mesiniaga being committed to promote and resell GIANT.

The combination of the Group's own marketing activities and these channel partners supports a substantial new business pipeline, positioning the Group strongly to secure further contracts in the second half and beyond.

It is also encouraging to see that Fusionex has maintained its robust track record for renewing existing client contracts, with retention rates in excess of 95%. Not only does this represent an attractive and highly cash generative revenue stream for the business but existing customers are also recognising the benefits of its newer Big Data offering. The Company is successfully leveraging this opportunity to cross sell and upgrade contracts with its international blue-chip client list.

Growth Strategy

Fusionex is focused on building its presence in the BDA market, via its GIANT offering, underpinned by its existing base of blue-chip customers using its suite of Analytics products.

Growth will also continue to be driven by Fusionex marketing activities and by encouraging cross-selling and up-selling across the Group's existing customers. In addition, the successful channel partnerships which the Group has built will further support new business momentum, widening its reach in an effective and efficient manner. In view of the benefits of its existing partnerships, Fusionex will continue to seek additional channel partners in order to widen the sales network and market reach further.

Current Trading and Outlook

The strong first half performance and new business pipeline position the Group well for continued progress in the second half, underpinned by its continuous success in retaining existing clients. Demand for the Group's products remains high, driven by the increasing need for organisations to capitalise on the huge volumes of data available to them and Fusionex is well placed to benefit from this growth trend. As global corporations become more aware of the opportunities offered by Big Data, the Company is seeing significant potential for growth particularly within the Travel & Hospitality, Retail, Manufacturing and Smart Government sectors, where the Group's recent wins will also support its ability to address further opportunities.

Therefore the Board remains confident that Fusionex is on track to deliver continued growth for the full year.

   1.        Basis of preparation 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union ("EU") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), including related interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

The Interim Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with AIM Rules for Companies and IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS adopted by the European Union.

The individual financial information of each entity is measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The Interim Financial Statements of the Group are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the presentation currency for the Interim Financial Statements. The functional currency of each of the individual entity is the local currency of each individual entity.

Going concern

As at 31 March 2015, the Group had net assets of RM110,513,862 (31 March 2014: RM89,831,565; 30 September 2014: RM101,393,017) as set out in the Interim Financial Statements above. Following the admission of the ordinary shares to trading on AIM, Fusionex International Plc has considerable financial resources. As a consequence, the Directors believe that Fusionex International Plc and the Group are well placed to manage its business risks successfully and the Directors have reasonable expectations that the Group have sufficient working capital available for its present requirements that is for the next 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the historical financial information.

   2.         Income tax expense 

Tax expense is recognised based on management's best estimate of the weighted average annual tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The Group's consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations for the six months ended 31.3.2015 was lower than the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 25% (six months ended 30.3.2014: 25%) caused mainly by the following factors:-

   i)          effects of lower tax rates in certain tax jurisdictions; and 
   ii)          effects of certain income not subject to tax. 
   3.         Earnings per share 

The calculation for earnings per share, based on the weighted average number of shares, is shown in the table below:

 
                                           1.10.2014    1.10.2013    1.10.2013
