Commenting on current trading, Paul Swinney, Chief Executive of
Tristel, said: "We are very pleased with our progress in the first
half. Sales growth has been in the middle of our target range.
Sales benefitted from just over one month's contribution of
GBP0.4m from the Ecomed Group, whose audited and adjusted EBITDA
for the calendar year 2018 of EUR1.17m compares to a threshold
target of EUR0.84m, meaning that the conditions of the acquisition
earn-out have already been met. We expect a solid contribution from
Ecomed Group in the second half and for the acquisition to be
materially earnings enhancing in the years ahead.
Sales growth in the UK human health division, which accounts for
84% of all UK sales, was up by 8% half-on-half. This is encouraging
given that UK sales growth has been relatively flat for the past
few years. Moreover, overseas sales continued to grow at a very
healthy rate of 19%.
We continue to advance our USA regulatory project although the
exact timing of further approvals remains hard to predict. This
project commenced in 2015 and the cumulative investment made to end
December 2018 has been GBP1.3m, with costs of GBP0.1m incurred in
the first half.
The re-shaping of our Board has progressed with the appointment
of Bart Leemans as an Executive Director and Dr Bruno Holthof as a
Non-Executive Director.
We have put in place the best plans that we think possible to
mitigate the potential effects of a no-deal Brexit and look forward
with a high degree of confidence".

Chairman's Statement
The Company has had a good first half, growing revenues by 12%.
In mid-November we concluded the acquisition of the Ecomed Group
which has given us a direct presence in Belgium, the Netherlands
and France. The significance of this acquisition is that we are now
directly represented throughout most of continental Europe and have
a combined sales force in the UK and Europe of 31 people, up from
19 at 31 December 2017.
Encouragingly, the UK hospital business grew sales by 8%
half-on-half after a period of flat performance. Our recently
introduced new surface disinfectants have helped drive this uptick
in sales growth. Further afield, Hong Kong delivered an excellent
performance following our decision this time last year to establish
a direct presence in that market. Only China, where we have a small
four-person team, took a backward step. This was planned as we
moved away from selling a capital equipment product through
national distributors to concentrate our efforts on selling our
consumable medical device disinfectants directly to hospitals, and
to limit our focus to only Shanghai and Beijing hospitals for the
next 12 months.
We were able to increase gross margin by 3% through a
combination of better buying, product sales mix and efficiency
gains. Operating expenses excluding the share-based payment charge
increased by 16% half-on-half but were inflated by overhead of the
Ecomed Group of GBP0.2m, and one-off acquisition costs of GBP0.2m.
Excluding these Ecomed Group related costs, underlying operating
expenses increased by 9%. The pre-tax margin before share-based
payments increased by 1% to 20%.
The combination of organic growth and selective acquisition
prepares us well to meet our revenue growth target of 10% to 15%
this year. The table below shows the progress that we are making
around the globe.

USA regulatory project and our global outlook
In 2015 we announced our intention to seek regulatory approvals
in the USA to enable us to enter the hospital market. With no prior
experience of working with the USA government agencies, at the
project's outset we were only able to estimate the cost and time
the project might take with the advice of advisors. Consequently,
from the start of the project we imposed a control measure on
ourselves which has been to maintain a pre-tax margin before
share-based payments of at least 17.5% whilst expensing all project
costs. The table below summarises our progress to date.

data and finding without reference to a previously approved pathway
precedent
Just as we had no prior experience of obtaining regulatory
approval in the USA, the EPA and FDA had no prior experience of
chlorine dioxide, our proprietary chemistry, when used for medical
device disinfection. Whilst these have been significant hurdles to
overcome, we have succeeded in making considerable progress during
the past four years. Conferring with consultants, peer companies
and industry experts, we are led to believe that we should not be
dismayed by the time it has taken to reach the point we are at
today; nor by the cumulative cost, which amounted at 31 December
2018 to GBP1.3m. To date, we have met our goal of protecting the
Group's pre-tax margin (before share-based payments), exceeding our
minimum threshold in each of the past four years.
We have not included any contribution to revenue and profit from
the USA in our internal budget for the current financial year
(which is the final year of a three-year plan that we shared with
our shareholders in 2016-17). There is also no material
contribution from the USA in our market forecasts for this
financial year and next. In July 2019, at our shareholder open day,
we intend to set out our targets for the next three years to
2021-22. Again, we will not incorporate into that plan any revenue
or profit contribution from the United States; and we will only do
so once an FDA approval has been granted.
Furthermore, we have decided that our most prudent approach is
to postpone commercialising the EPA approvals already obtained for
our Duo and Jet products until we have greater visibility of the
way ahead for the FDA project. We received the FDA's feedback on 25
September 2018 to the pre-submission written review which we lodged
in July 2018. Their feedback was to follow a De Novo pathway rather
than the Predicate pathway. We have digested the implications of
this advice and have commenced the human factors and usability
engineering evaluation and additional microbiological efficacy
testing that are now required. We have started with a pilot human
factors study and will submit the data generated to the FDA for
further guidance before proceeding further. Given the opacity of
the American regulatory system we conclude that at this moment it
would be folly to try and predict when we may finally achieve FDA
approval, but we will continue to invest in the FDA project and
pursue that future approval.
To exploit the same market opportunity in the USA hospital
market that we enjoy everywhere else in the world we ideally
require approvals from both agencies. We will pursue a different
commercial strategy with both than we would with one only, and it
would be premature to push further and faster with Duo and Jet as
surface disinfectants until the way forward with the FDA is
clear.
In the first half our business generated a pre-tax margin before
share-based payments of 20% which would have been 21% if USA costs
were excluded. The Group's achievements to date have been founded
upon our presence in a global marketplace that excludes the USA.
Our geographical footprint covers 40 countries in which we already
have the regulatory approvals required to sell our products. Many
significant regulatory submissions which will open markets such as
India and South Korea are close to grant: all achieved at a
fraction of the cost of the USA.
Ecomed Group earn-out and share issue
In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, the
earn-out conditions have been met and the deferred consideration of
EUR1.8m is payable in full. The vendors have elected to receive
EUR384,300 of the consideration by the issue of ordinary shares at
242.7 pence and a cash payment of EUR1,415,700. The issue price of
242.7 pence was the price agreed for the consideration shares in
the acquisition agreement. The exact number of shares to be issued
will be determined on the consideration settlement date of 28
February with reference to the closing EUR/GBP exchange rate on 27
February.
Earnings and Dividends
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS), before share-based payments,
were 4.5 pence, up 13% from 4 pence last year. Basic EPS were 4.05
pence, a 12% increase from last year.
The Company has continued to be highly cash generative and on 31
December 2018 the cash balance was GBP4.5m (2017: GBP4.9m). Our
cash balance followed the payment in November of the initial cash
consideration payment for the Ecomed Group of GBP2.96m.
In line with the Company's ordinary dividend policy, the Board
is recommending that the interim dividend is 2.04 pence (2017: 1.6
pence), an increase of 28%. The interim dividend will be paid on 30
April 2019 to shareholders on the register on 29 March 2019, with
an ex-dividend date of 28 March 2019.
Outlook
The prospects for the Company remain very encouraging and we
look forward to further progress in the second half of the year and
beyond.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the six months ended 31
December 2018
1 Accounting policies
Basis of Preparation
For the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group prepared consolidated
financial statements under International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the European Commission. These
condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the interim
financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost
convention. They are based on the recognition and measurement
principles of IFRS in issue as adopted by the European Union (EU)
which are effective from 1 July 2018.
Standards effective from 1 January 2018
The following standards and interpretations apply for the first
time to financial reporting periods commencing on or after 1
January 2018:
-- IFRS 9 Financial instruments (effective 1 January 2018)
-- IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (effective 1
January 2018)
IFRS 15 - 'Revenue from contracts with customers' was adopted
for the financial year commencing 1 July 2018. Under IFRS 15 the
company must evaluate contracts with customers to determine the
distinct performance obligations and consider the appropriate
timing of revenue recognition based on when control of the product
sales has passed to the buyer. Whilst the new financial reporting
standard represents significant new guidance, the implementation of
this guidance has not had a significant impact on the timing or
amount of revenue recognised by the Group in any year.
Accounting Policies
The interim report is unaudited and has been prepared on the
basis of IFRS accounting policies.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this
unaudited interim financial report are consistent with the most
recent annual financial statements being those for the year ended
30 June 2018.
The financial information for the six months ended 31 December
2018 and 31 December 2017 has not been audited and does not
constitute full financial statements within the meaning of Section
434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial information relating to the year ended 30 June
2018 does not constitute full financial statements within the
meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. This information
is based on the Group's statutory accounts for that period. The
statutory accounts were prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and received an unqualified
audit report and did not contain statements under Section 498(2) or

2 Segmental Analysis
The Board considers the Group's revenue lines to be split into
three operating segments, which span the different Group entities.
The operating segments consider the nature of the product sold, the
nature of production, the class of customer and the method of
distribution. The Group's operating segments are identified from
the information which is reported to the chief operating decision
maker.
The first segment concerns the manufacture, development and sale
of infection control and hygiene products which incorporate the
Company's chlorine dioxide chemistry, and are used primarily for
infection control in hospitals ("Human Health"). This segment
generates approximately 91% of Group revenues.
The second segment, which constitutes 3% of the business
activity, relates to manufacture and sale of disinfection and
cleaning products, principally into veterinary and animal welfare
sectors ("Animal Health").
The third segment addresses the pharmaceutical and personal care
manufacturing industries ("Contamination Control"). This activity
has generated 6% of the Group's revenue for the period.
The operation is monitored and measured on the basis of the key
performance indicators of each segment, these being revenue and
gross profit; strategic decisions are made on the basis of revenue
and gross profit generating from each segment.
The Group's centrally incurred administrative expenses and
operating income are not attributable to individual segments.
