GBPnil)
o Ellansé(R) delivered revenues of GBP4.2 million (H1 2016:
GBP4.2 million); flat on the same period last year due to

o Perfectha(R) sales up 14% to GBP4.2 million (H1 2016: GBP3.7
million)
- Gross margin increased to 72.4% (H1 2016: 70.5%)

Silhouette InstaLift(TM) with over 700 doctors attending
educational events to end of June; on track for 1,000 in 2017
- FDA approved commercially significant label change for
InstaLift(TM) making the procedure simpler and cheaper to train
doctors

cleared suture-based product for multiple tissue lifting
indications, notably breasts
- Net cash reduced to GBP0.1 million (31 December 2016: GBP16.8 million) as expected
- Cash outflow a result of adjusted EBITDA* loss (GBP1.7
million), working capital outflow (GBP2.1 million), payment of
deferred consideration, settlement of warranty claim and other
restructuring costs and capital expenditure totalling GBP12.7
million
- New GBP10.0 million debt facility in place to fund investment in future growth
Chris Spooner, CEO, commented: "I am pleased with the
performance of the Group in the first half of 2017 which is in line
with our expectations. We expect H2 sales to be considerably higher
than H1 due to order phasing and seasonality. Brazil ended the
first half strongly and this momentum has continued into the second
half. Approval in Brazil for Ellansé(R) is expected in H1 2018. The
US Silhouette Instalift(TM) label improvement is excellent news and
will make training simpler and cheaper, while the acquisition of
the Refine(TM) system positions our Silhouette suture franchise for
extension into multiple body indications. We remain confident we
will deliver strong sales growth in the second half and an adjusted
EBITDA profit for the year ending 31 December 2017. With growth
being derived from our key strategic brands, we expect the trend of
sales and profitability momentum to continue for the medium
term."
*Adjusted EBITDA defined as earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation, amortisation, impairment, share-based payments,
exceptional items and loss from discontinued operations.

BUSINESS REVIEW
During the first half of 2017, the Group has continued to focus
on driving growth and increasing efficiencies throughout its
commercial operations. Marketing investment is now focused towards
consumers with less emphasis on physician training following three
years of intensive investment in this activity. Sinclair is now
placing a heavier emphasis on digital and social media activity to
complement its local field forces. Our ambition is to create an
industry leading digital platform for lead sourcing, customer
tracking and physician training.
In the US, our partner ThermiGen continues to see strong
interest and demand for training by physicians for Silhouette
InstaLift(TM). In June we expanded the brand with the addition of
the FDA approved Refine(TM) Support System, which will address a
new market for body aesthetic and reconstructive procedures,
including breasts.
Sinclair's Brazilian affiliate, created in July 2016, is now the
Group's largest direct operation in terms of sales. It has quickly
established a strong presence for Silhouette Soft(R) in this
important market, and is well placed to deliver a strong second
half. Preparations for the launch of Ellansé(R) in Brazil are also
well underway, ahead of an expected approval in H1 2018.
In Europe, the Spanish and German teams continue to deliver
robust growth. The underperforming UK and French teams were
restructured during the period and are expected to deliver a
stronger second half of 2017.
While stocking patterns of certain distributors dampened
reported sales, particularly for Ellansé(R) during the period, many
distributors have continued to enjoy strong underlying growth,
including those in the Middle East, LATAM and Asia.
Silhouette Soft(R)
Sales reached GBP7.3 million in the period, compared with GBP6.1
million in H1 2016, reported growth of 20%. Growth on a constant
currency basis was 12%. Growth has been moderated by
underperformance in the UK and France linked to local issues which
have been largely resolved following the restructuring of these
operations. Silhouette Soft(R) continued to deliver strong growth
in multiple markets including Spain, South Korea and the Middle
East. Brazil was particularly strong during Q2, and this trend has
continued into Q3. With LATAM seasonality weighted to H2, an
expected turnaround in Europe, and the roll-out of new digital
marketing initiatives, management is confident of an acceleration
of growth in the second half.
Silhouette InstaLift(TM)
Following the successful launch by our partner ThermiGen in the
US in August 2016, revenue for the period reached GBP2.3 million.
Doctor training continues its rapid roll-out, with over 700
physicians attending educational events in the six months to 30
June 2017. ThermiGen is on track to hit the target of training over
1000 doctors by the year end. Encouragingly, recent ThermiGen
physician and patient survey data indicates high levels of
satisfaction with the InstaLift(TM) procedure and clinical benefit.
Encouragingly, physician reorder rates are continuing to trend
upwards on a monthly basis.
In June, the FDA approved a commercially significant change to
the Silhouette InstaLift(TM) label, with physicians no longer
required to use a permanent anchoring suture. This now allows
ThermiGen to promote, train and market the use of Silhouette
InstaLift(TM) via the clinically desirable, self-anchoring
procedure that is universally established for Silhouette Soft(R)
across the rest of the world.
Ellansé(R)
Ellansé(R) revenues of GBP4.2 million were unchanged from the
same period last year (decline of 10% on a constant currency
basis), with reported sales impacted by distributor ordering
patterns, particularly for South Korea which continues to be the
single largest market for the product. Underlying in market demand
for Ellansé(R) remains strong with annualised sales growth in
excess of 40%. Growth remains broad based across Sinclair's direct
European operations as well as distributor markets, notably in the
Middle East (+54% at constant currency). The Board remains
confident of a return to strong reported sales growth in the second
half.
We expect Ellansé(R) to be launched earlier than anticipated in
Brazil, now likely during H1 2018. Market research in Brazil is
highly positive and pre-launch marketing activities are already
underway. A new Brazilian advisory board has been formed and will
meet for the first time in October.
Perfectha(R)
Reported revenues increased 13.5% to GBP4.2 million against
GBP3.7 million in H1 2016 (growth of 3% at constant currency).
Average in-market growth rates for the period are again ahead of
the reported sales growth at 23%, pointing to strong demand for
Perfectha(R) and providing confidence in the outlook for H2. The
product performed well in Spain, South Korea, the Middle East and
Mexico in particular.
Sculptra(R)
Sales declined to GBP2.0 million compared with GBP3.2 million in
H1 2016, reflecting de-stocking by certain wholesalers. The Company
expects to see a moderate increase in sales in the second half
relative to the first half although full year sales are expected to
be around GBP1.5-2.0 million below 2016 levels.
Refine(TM) acquisition
In June the Company announced the acquisition of the Refine(TM)
Support System, a patented and FDA cleared, suture based product
primarily for use in breast aesthetic and reconstructive
procedures. Total consideration of up to $11.3 million includes
regulatory and sales based milestones and royalties. The
acquisition is in line with our strategy of expanding the
Silhouette brand and targeting body applications.
The Group will now commence work to submit the product for
regulatory review in Europe and Brazil, as well as other key
aesthetic markets in Asia, Middle East and Latin America. Initial
ex-US approvals for multiple body indications are expected in
2019.
Sinclair has amended the existing distribution agreement with
ThermiGen LLC to include the Refine(TM) Support System, which will
allow the product to be sold alongside Silhouette InstaLift(TM) by
Thermi's existing sales force. Marketing efforts will be focus on
ThermiGen's plastic surgeon client base.
Product Development
The expansion of the portfolio through continued product
development and line extensions is an essential part of our growth
strategy. In addition to the commercially important FDA approved US
label changes for Silhouette InstaLift(TM) there have been a number
of highlights in this area during the first half of the year.
Ellansé(R)
Sinclair's partner for China received formal approval from the
China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) to start Ellansé(R)
clinical trials. Patient recruitment started in Q3 2017 and is
expected to complete by the end of the year. The Company believes
China represents a major medium term opportunity given that
market's preference for a volumisation/sculpturing approach to
aesthetics, favouring the use of more potent products. In the US,
pre IDE work is ongoing, and the Ellansé(R) pivotal study is
expected to start in 2018.
During the period, we also initiated and completed patient
recruitment for an EU based clinical trial to study the
supplementary benefits to patients' skin quality and tone,
following treatment with Ellansé(R). The Company believes this is
an area in which the unique benefits of Ellansé(R) can be
distinguished over HA fillers.
The Group has commenced a project to transfer Ellansé(R)
manufacturing to an FDA approved contract manufacturer. This will
also result in a significant increase in production capacity over
the next two years.
Perfectha(R)
Perfectha(R) Lidocaine will be the next brand line extension
with regulatory filings scheduled for early 2018. The Company has
other active development projects underway, targeting specific
indications including lips.
Silhouette Soft(R) CE Mark
As mentioned at the time of our full year results in March 2017,
the de-designation of a number of European Notified Bodies has
affected the registrations of numerous medical devices across the
industry including Silhouette Soft(R). The dossier for Silhouette
Soft(R) has now been fully reviewed and relevant audits completed
by the Group's new chosen Notified Body. The Board is confident
that Silhouette Soft(R) will receive a new European CE mark in Q4
2017.
Board expansion
As previously announced, the Board is undertaking a search for
additional independent non-executive directors and expects to make
at least one appointment before the end of 2017.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue for the six month period to 30 June 2016 reached GBP20.1
million, 16% growth over the same period last year (6% growth on a
constant currency basis). As highlighted above, in aggregate the
key strategic growth products Silhouette, Ellansé(R) and
Perfectha(R) grew strongly (total sales +29% to GBP18.1 million,
+17% on a constant currency basis), while non-promoted and lower
margin Sculptra saw significant reduction in sales in the period
(-38% to GBP2.0 million) as a result of wholesaler de-stocking.
Gross profit increased 19% to GBP14.5 million (2016: GBP12.2
million) and the gross margin of 72.4% represents a strong
improvement from 70.5% in H1 2016. The improvement in gross margin
is driven by a continued improvement in the sales mix, with higher
margin Silhouette Soft and InstaLift contributing a greater
proportion of sales compared with the prior period (48% vs 36%),
helped by selling directly in Brazil and the launch of InstaLift in
the US, and with lower margin Sculptra's decline in sales
representing just 10% of total revenue in the period (2016:
19%).
Selling, marketing and distribution costs increased 20% to
GBP11.1 million (2016: GBP9.2 million) as a result of establishing
a direct operation in Brazil, InstaLift marketing contributions
made to ThermiGen, FX impacts and net of savings realised from
restructuring commercial operations in 2016 and early 2017.
Centralisation of the Group's marketing activities over the last
year has led to a strong improvement in marketing support for our
affiliates and partners. During the period, investment in the
digital strategy has paved the way for a step up in digital
activities in H2 2017.
Administrative expenses before exceptional items of GBP8.4
million for the period are 1% higher than the same period last
year, largely as a result of the FX impact of weaker Sterling on
expenses incurred in Euros and US Dollars.
Adjusted EBITDA* loss for the period was GBP1.7 million (2016:
loss of GBP1.9 million). With overheads split relatively evenly
between the first half and second half and the anticipated strong
weighting of revenues to H2, the Board continues to expect to
report an adjusted EBITDA profit for the year as a whole.
Exceptional items of income and expense included within
administrative expenses in the period amounted to a net debit of
GBP0.6 million (2016: net credit of GBP5.2 million). Charges in
this period represent non-cash accounting adjustments for deferred
consideration liabilities relating to the acquisitions of
Silhouette and Perfectha and treated as business combinations
arising from changes to the forecast timing of future milestone
payments. As these adjustments have occurred more than twelve
months post acquisition the adjustments are made through the income
statement as required by IFRS.
Finance costs of GBP2.3 million in the period are reduced from
GBP3.3 million in H1 2016. Finance costs primarily represent a
non-cash discount unwind charge on deferred and contingent
considerations due, net of interest income on cash balances. The
discount charge of GBP2.3 million is reduced from GBP3.3 million in
the same period in 2016 as a result of the settlement of various
items of deferred consideration over the last year. There is only a
nominal charge for amortisation of arrangement costs on the new
debt facility as the initial drawing under the facility occurred at
the end of the period.
There is a small tax credit of GBP0.7 million arising in the
period (2016: GBP0.6 million). This credit arises from the
amortisation of deferred tax liabilities linked to acquired
intangible assets.
*Adjusted EBITDA defined as earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation, amortisation, impairment, share-based payments,
exceptional items and loss from discontinued operations.
Discontinued operations
Profit for the period from discontinued operations of GBP0.1
million (2016: GBP1.5 million) reflects a tax refund received in
the period relating to the disposed business. The prior period
credit reflected the reversal of a GBP1.5 million tax charge booked
on the disposal of the non-aesthetics business in December 2015,
net of GBP0.1 million of admin expenses incurred post
completion.
Overall loss for the six months to 30 June 2017 was GBP7.0
million, increased from GBP1.2 million in 2016, largely as a result
of the GBP5.8 million swing in exceptional items. This resulted in
an overall loss per share of 1.4p for the period, 2016: 0.2p.
Cash flow
Net cash used in operating activities was GBP10.3 million in the
six months to 30 June 2017, compared with GBP8.8 million in the
same period last year. This consisted of cash used in continuing
operations of GBP4.8 million (H1 2016: GBP5.2 million), cash
outflow from discontinued operations of GBP5.4 million (H1 2016:
GBP3.1 million) and interest and tax payments of GBP0.1 million (H1
2016: GBP0.4 million). Cash outflow on discontinued operations
included GBP4.0 million in respect of the warranty claim settlement
with Alliance Pharma plc.
Cash used in investing activities in the six months to 30 June
2017 was GBP6.2 million. This included the payment of Silhouette US
royalties and a $5.0 million sales milestone for Silhouette
InstaLift on reaching $3.0 million of net sales as well as initial
consideration for the Refine support system and capitalised
development costs.
New debt facility
In March 2017, the Group announced the signing of a new GBP10.0
million debt facility with Silicon Valley Bank to fund investment
in future growth. The facility consists of a GBP5.0 million term
loan maturing in September 2020 and a two year GBP5.0 million
working capital facility. As expected, an initial drawing of GBP3.0
million was made on the term loan in June 2017.
The overall net cash outflow in the six months to 30 June 2017
of GBP13.5 million resulted in a cash position of GBP3.2 million at
30 June 2017. Net cash was GBP0.2 million when drawings under the
debt facility are included.
Balance sheet
Non-current assets decreased to GBP147.0 million (31 December
2016: GBP150.7 million) due to amortisation of intangibles and the
impact of foreign exchange movements which have reduced the value
of Euro and US Dollar denominated assets, offset by the addition of
the Refine system assets and capitalised development costs.
Current assets have reduced to GBP19.0 million (31 December
2016: GBP33.9 million) largely as a result of the reduction in cash
balances as set out above.
Current liabilities also fell to GBP16.8 million (31 December
2016: GBP26.9 million), mainly as a result of the payment of
deferred considerations and settlement of the Alliance warranty
claim and other exceptional restructuring costs incurred in
2016.
Deferred considerations due after one year primarily consist of
$49 million in sales based milestones and royalties linked to the
performance of Silhouette Instalift(TM) in the US, which are
expected to be payable over the period 2018-2021 based on the model
of selling via distributor ThermiGen, with no more than $6.4
million forecast to be payable by the end of 2018. In addition, a
EUR2.5 million milestone linked to the approval of a CE Mark for
Perfectha Lidocaine and royalties totalling EUR6.8 million linked
to overall Perfectha sales and other Perfectha line extensions
expected to be paid over the period 2018-2022.
Outlook
Much has been achieved during the first half of 2017 and the
Group continues to see strong demand for its portfolio of
differentiated, high growth aesthetics products. Sinclair is well
placed to deliver strong second half sales, particularly in leading
markets Brazil, South Korea and the US, and underpinned more
generally by a buoyant global aesthetics market. Trading in the
current quarter is in line with the Board's expectations. We remain
confident of delivering strong sales growth for the full year and
are on track to deliver an adjusted EBITDA profit for the year
ending 31 December 2017. With strong in-market sales trends and
high marginal profitability, the Company expects this momentum to
carry into the medium term.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated half-yearly
financial information
1. General Information, basis of preparation and accounting
policies
Sinclair Pharma plc (the 'Company') is an international
speciality pharmaceutical company focused on Aesthetics. The Group
has a direct sales and marketing presence in the top four European
markets and Brazil and a rapidly growing international division
concentrated on key emerging markets through long-term
multi-product and multi-country sales, marketing and distribution
deals with key strategic partners.
The principal activities of the Group are the manufacture,
commercialisation and sale of aesthetic products. The Group is also
engaged in research and development and owns various product rights
and licenses in different territories.
The Company is a public limited company which is listed on the
AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, and is incorporated and
domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered
office is Whitfield Court, 30-32 Whitfield Street, London, W1T
2RQ.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2017 is prepared in accordance with
the Group's accounting policies which are based on the recognition
and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU and effective, or expected
to be adopted at 31 December 2017.
The interim condensed consolidated financial report should be
read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the 18
month period ended 31 December 2016, which have been prepared in
accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. Statutory
accounts for the 18 month period ended 31 December 2016 were
approved by the board of Directors on 29 March 2017 and delivered
to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those
accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter
paragraph and did not contain any statement under Sections 498 (2)
or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2017 has not been audited or reviewed
and does not constitute full statutory accounts within the meaning
of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The unaudited interim
financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of
Directors on 19 September 2017.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the
annual financial statements for the 18 month period ended 31
December 2016, as described in those annual financial statements.
These are available on the Company's website at
www.sinclairpharma.com.
There are no new IFRSs or IFRICs that are effective for the
first time for this interim period that would be expected to have a
material impact on the Group.
Estimates
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
values of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the group's
accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty
were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial
statements for the period ended 31 December 2016.
Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax
rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or
loss, ignoring other timing differences which may occur between now
and the year end.
2. Segment information
The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the
executive management team. This team reviews the Group's internal
reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources.
Based on this, management has determined that, following the
disposal of the non-aesthetics business, the continuing business
consists of one reportable segment, which is Aesthetics.
The executive management team assesses the performance of the
reportable segment based on a measure of adjusted earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, exceptional items and
share based payments (Adjusted EBITDA).

3. Exceptional items
Exceptional items represent significant items of income and
expense which due to their nature, size or the expected infrequency
of the events giving rise to them, are presented separately on the
face of the income statement to give a better understanding to
shareholders of the elements of financial performance in the
current period, so as to facilitate comparison with prior periods
and to better assess trends in financial performance.

2017
Adjustments to contingent consideration in the six months to 30
June 2017 include a debit of GBP593,000 (2016: credit GBP682,000)
following changes to the profile of deferred consideration payments
for the acquisition of Obvieline SAS, and changes to the forecast
timing of payments for certain milestones payable following the
acquisition of Silhouette Lift SL. These adjustments have been
debited (2016: credited) to the income statement as the changes
were triggered more than twelve months after the original
acquisition completion date. There is no tax impact of these
adjustments.
2016
Adjustments to contingent consideration in the six months to 30
June 2016 also include a credit of GBP8,539,000 following early
settlement of all remaining milestones relating to the acquisition
of Aqtis Medical BV resulting in a reduction to the total purchase
consideration.
Following the disposal of the non-aesthetic products to create a
focussed aesthetics business, the Group undertook an internal
restructuring in the period to 30 June 2016, resulting in
GBP2,423,000 of one-off severance and redundancy costs being
incurred.
In the first half of 2016, the Group withdrew inventory with a
limited shelf life from commercial sale in order to provide
partners and doctors product with as long a shelf life as possible.
This resulted in an exceptional provision for short life inventory
of GBP1,378,000.
Acquisition and business development costs in the six month
period to 30 June 2016, were GBP198,000 relating to the acquisition
and establishment of Sinclair Pharma Brasil Ltda
4. Discontinued operations
On 26 November 2015, the group entered into a sale agreement to
dispose of all of the non-aesthetics business of the Group to
Alliance Pharma Plc ('Alliance') in order to create a fast growing
pure-play aesthetics business. The disposal completed on 17
December 2015, on which date control of the non-aesthetics business
passed to Alliance. The disposal included the Group's interest in
Sinclair Pharma France SAS, Advanced Bio-Technologies Inc, Sinclair
Pharma srl, and Maelor Laboratories Limited, as well as certain IP
assets.
Results of discontinued operations, which have been included in
the consolidated income statement were as follows:

16. Related party transactions
On 19 June 2017, the Group acquired the Refine Support System, a
patented and FDA cleared, suture based product primarily used in
breast cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, from Refine LLC
(note 9). Jeff Thompson, non-executive Director of Sinclair, has a
beneficial interest of 52% in Refine LLC.
At 30 June 2017, the total value of the Refine asset is
GBP924,000 of which GBP462,000 has been paid, and the remaining
GBP462,000 has been recognised in other payables and will be paid
in December 2017. The acquisition agreement includes conditions for
future payments which are contingent on achieving certain
regulatory and sales based milestones and royalties. These have a
maximum gross value of GBP7,775,000, but due to uncertainty in
timings and amounts, have not been recognised in the financial
statements at 30 June 2017.
