-- Increased operating profit excluding the one-off impact of acquisition related costs

Commenting on the results, Ian Robinson, Chairman of Jaywing
plc, said:
"The first half of the financial year has seen Jaywing continue
make excellent progress in its growth strategy. EBITDA was up 12%
organically and up by 18% after including the impact of two recent
strategic acquisitions in Australia and the UK, both of which were
completed towards the end of the half year in year in July and
August respectively. I am also pleased to report that strong cash
flow has seen net debt almost halved from GBP6.4m to GBP3.4m.
Putting (advanced) data science at the heart of all our service
offerings remains our core objective and is a key differentiator.
This is being achieved through effective internal collaboration
across varied but complementary skill sets across Jaywing. This
enables us to provide bespoke and highly effective solutions to our
clients' most challenging briefs."

CHIEF EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
I'm pleased to report that the momentum built towards the end of
our last financial year has been maintained and we have seen strong
organic growth rates in the first half of this year. What is more,
we've made two strategic acquisitions and have achieved all of this
in a period of uncertainty in the market due to the European Union
membership referendum.
Overall gross profit (GP) has grown by 11% compared with H1
2016, whilst EBITDA has increased by 18% as EBITDA margin has
improved by 0.8% to 12.5%. Profits generated from our acquisitions
of Digital Massive and Bloom are included from the start of July
and September respectively and accordingly growth has primarily
been driven organically with GP up by 7% and EBITDA by 12%.
The Media & Analysis segment comprising search marketing
(branded Epiphany) and data analysis, has seen the strongest growth
with GP and EBITDA up by 15% and 18% respectively compared with H1
2016. Organic growth excluding acquisitions was still 11% and 14%
as the acquisitions were only completed at the start of July and
end of August. This segment now represents nearly 70% of our
overall EBITDA. The area of strongest growth for Epiphany has been
in its programmatic display and mobile advertising revenues where
the use of data science provides differentiation and delivers
improved outcomes for clients. The demand for our IFRS9 work
remains high as smaller lenders are now turning their attention to
compliance and the launch of Horizon, our SaaS IFRS9 product, in
September has created a great deal of interest amongst those
smaller lenders. Product and Product Development sits within this
segment and we have continued to invest through our P&L.
We have continued to see organic growth in our Agency Services
segment that contains our social media, website design and build,
brand communications and customer management outsourcing
propositions. Whilst GP has grown by 2%, EBITDA has increased by 7%
due to improved margins from H1 2016.
We are encouraged by the performance of our two recent
acquisitions with both businesses tracking well against their
plans. Digital Massive based in Sydney is leveraging the experience
and resources of our Epiphany search marketing team in the UK and
has won several new contracts since the acquisition was completed.
The team at Bloom has hit the ground running, introducing its
unique products to all areas of Jaywing. At the same time, the
dedicated environment where the enlarged Company's data products
will be developed and managed has been set up.
Further details on both of these acquisitions can be found in
the RNS releases dated 7(th) July 2016 and 1(st) September
2016.
Cash generation has been strong with net debt reducing to
GBP3.4m from GBP6.4m at 30(th) September 2015 (and GBP5.3m at
31(st) March 2016). High levels of recurring revenues allied to low
client and sector concentration continue to underpin the resilience
of the business.
Profit before tax (PBT) has been temporarily impacted by the
cost of the acquisitions. Excluding these one off costs, PBT is
GBP758k compared with GBP503k for H1 2016.
The second half of the year has started well and we are on track
to achieve our full year expectations.

London Stock Exchange. The registered address is Players House, 300
Attercliffe Common, Sheffield, S9 2AG.
The interim financial information was approved for issue on
22(nd) November 2016. .
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30 September 2016 have been prepared in accordance with
applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost
convention except for certain financial instruments that are
carried at fair value.
The financial information for the year ended 31 March 2016 set
out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts
as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Group's
statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016
have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's
report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not
contain statements under Section 498 (2) or Section 498 (3) of the
Companies Act 2006.
The consolidated interim financial information should be read in
conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by
the European Union.
3. Accounting policies
Except as described below, the principal accounting policies of
Jaywing plc and its subsidiaries ("the Group") are consistent with
those set out in the Group's 2016 annual report and financial
statements.
Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax
rate that would be applicable to expected total annual
earnings.
The following standards and interpretations of relevance to the
Group have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been
adopted by the Group:
-- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective 1 January 2018)
-- IFRS 15 Revenue for Contracts with Customers (effective 1
January 2018)
-- IFRS 16 Leases (effective 1 January 2019)
-- IFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment
Transactions (effective 1 January 2018)
The Group are conducting a review of IFRS 15 - Revenue from
Contracts with Customers which is ongoing.
The Group does not currently anticipate that the adoption of the
other standards and interpretations above will have a material
impact on the Group's financial statements in the period of initial
application other than IFRS 16 Leases. A review of IFRS 16 will be
conducted to determine its impact on the Group.
Other standards and interpretations in issue but not yet
effective are not considered to have any relevance to the
Group.

10. Information on acquisitions
On 7th July 2016, Jaywing announced that it had acquired 75 per
cent of Digital Massive's issued share capital for an initial cash
payment of AUS$2 million, plus an earn out consideration of up to
AUS$2 million, which will be payable in three instalments over the
next two years, subject to the future performance of Digital
Massive. From July 2020, the Company will, via a put and call
option, be in a position to acquire the remaining 25 per cent of
Digital Massive's issued share capital, at a multiple of its
average audited EBITDA for the previous two financial years,
subject to a maximum total consideration payable of AUS$12 million
for the entire business.
On 1st September 2016, Jaywing announced that it had acquired
the entire issued share capital of Bloom for an upfront cash
consideration of GBP2.41 million on a cash and debt free basis.
Additional earn-out consideration of up to GBP5.75 million is
payable to the Vendors, subject to performance criteria, over a
two-year period ending 31 March 2018 and will be satisfied through
the Company's own cash resources and debt.
A new subsidiary company, of which Jaywing will own 75%, has
been incorporated and into which Jaywing will make a capital
investment of GBP637,500 over a period of two years. Certain of the
Vendors, comprising certain of Bloom's existing management team
will hold the remaining 25 per cent., having transferred into Newco
the suite of Bloom Intelligence products. Newco will be led by Alex
Craven who will be responsible for developing and monetising all of
Jaywing's data science-led products.
Bloom Management will be granted a put option to sell their
stake to Jaywing for 2.0 times the average audited maintainable
EBITDA for the financial years ending March 2019 and March 2020
subject to a maximum of GBP4 million for the 25 per cent stake.
Jaywing will also have a call option to acquire the 25 per cent
stake under the same terms and the time period over which the
average EBITDA is taken may be moved further into the future by
mutual agreement. Jaywing may choose to pay up to 25 per cent of
the additional consideration as shares.
