Jay Patel, Chief Executive Officer of IMImobile PLC, commented:

"The Group has had another strong six months with significant growth in all key financial metrics. The proportion of managed service and SaaS revenues has increased in the period to over 90% and we continue to develop deeper relationships with our existing blue chip client base, whilst also developing new relationships with sector leading businesses.

Our investment in technology development and the expected launch of new cloud communication capabilities in the coming year, as well as additional sales and marketing infrastructure, is anticipated to help us establish a technical lead and generate additional growth. We are optimistic that the investment in business development activities in the US will start contributing to growth in the coming year and expect the expansion of mobile coverage planned for sub-Saharan Africa will provide the foundations for growth in Archer Digital, our recently acquired enterprise business in South Africa.

We are very pleased with the first year of contribution from our acquisition of TextLocal and we continue to review acquisition opportunities as they arise. It is pleasing that we are able to generate meaningful operational cash flows which allows us to invest in organic growth initiatives as well as retaining good flexibility for acquisitions.

The addressable markets for our products and solutions continue to develop which gives me great confidence in our significant growth prospects for the future. The Board remains confident of achieving full year market expectations."

Chief Executive's Report

The Group has enjoyed another six months of strong performance and year on year growth. We have made progress in all regions during the first half of the financial year. We have seen year on year gross profit growth from Europe, the Americas and from our managed services revenues in the MEA region, this growth has more than offset the anticipated decline in India and the impact of one-off licence revenues recognised in MEA during the previous financial year.

Though the technology trends impacting the business are global in nature, the market opportunities and business models reflect local environments and, as a result, the commercial activities of the business are managed on a regional basis with centralised resources for software and product development, finance and general management.

Business Review

Europe and Americas

Europe and Americas was responsible for 60% of Group gross profit in the six months to 30 September 2015. Year on year gross profit growth in the region was 50%. On an organic basis, gross profit grew by 17% during the period.

Organic growth in the Europe and Americas has been more than 40% over the last 2 years and this reflects strong growth in our multi-channel marketing software (IMIcampaign) and our cloud communications platform (IMIconnect). We retained our largest contract in the region with a tier 1 banking client and have also signed multi-year renewals with significant utilities customers, as well as introduced new services into those clients.

Our IMIcampaign platform has received industry recognition, including awards from the Marketing On Mobile Awards (MOMA) for one of our deployments with O2 and from the Mobile Marketing Awards in Ireland for a deployment with IKEA.

In its first year following acquisition, TextLocal has delivered year on year gross profit growth([9]) of over 20%. We believe the successful execution of strategic growth initiatives including several channel partnerships and geographic launches has laid the foundations for additional growth.

We have increased our local staff numbers in the US as we service additional clients and see substantial opportunities in the US to leverage the marketing and loyalty solutions that we are currently delivering to tier 1 mobile operators in Europe.

Middle East and Africa

MEA was responsible for 27% of Group gross profit. The excellent growth of managed services revenue of 56% was offset by declines in one-off licence revenues following an exceptionally high level of licence fees recognised during the same period in the prior year.

Managed services growth reflects increasing penetration of content services that are managed by the IMIdigital platform for existing customers. In addition, customer contracts have been successfully renewed during the period, complemented by the launch of new services under existing long-term operator group contracts. The company continues to deploy new services under these existing agreements.

We have also signed new contracts with Airtel Africa and other operators for the launch of consumer mobile services and expect significant revenues when these services are fully deployed.

We are excited by our recent acquisition of Archer Digital in South Africa, which completed on 16 September 2015. The acquisition increases our footprint across the region and gives access to new customer verticals, including banking, government municipalities, satellite broadcasters and retail with customers such as Standard Bank, Vodacom, Nedbank and ABSA. Archer Digital's products, which include patented solutions for mobile bank statements, reminders and transactional payments, will be integrated and offered as part of IMImobile's portfolio of enterprise mobile engagement products.

India and SE Asia

In line with Board expectations, gross profit for the region, which accounts for 13% of the Group total, declined by 11% in the six months to 30 September 2015 compared with the same period in the prior year. This reflects a decline in the monthly run rate in the previous year. Deployments of multiple contracts won during the last financial year are ongoing and expected to contribute during the second half of the year.

Despite disappointing performance over the last few years, we remain positive that over the medium term there are great opportunities in this market, particularly in providing SaaS based products. Early signs for our IMIcampaign product and TextLocal have been encouraging and we believe that our cloud based delivery model and quality software offering will generate growth as the market develops and matures.

Technology and Products

We continue to develop and invest in the intellectual property that drives our regional operations and we have accelerated our efforts as we see that there is an increasing emphasis by organisations of all sizes to use mobile-centric channels and technologies.

In particular we have invested in developing IMIconnect, a cloud communications software platform which enables IT and business groups to design, deploy, monitor and manage communication and engagement services across multiple customer channels including IP messaging. We have also substantially enhanced the capabilities of IMIcampaign, a software application for the creation, management and delivery of real-time mobile-centric marketing campaigns. Furthermore, we have launched a new product IMIchat for contact centres that enables text based interactive messaging for customer service agents. There is also continued investment in IMIdigital and content streaming services.

All IMImobile technology and products are available through our cloud based infrastructure under a managed service, SaaS contract, or on-premise deployment via traditional software licensing model.

Strategic Initiatives

We have continued to make progress against our objective of building a global business that enables organisations to embrace mobile technologies to enhance customer engagement and we have a number of initiatives to achieve that objective.

Our investment in technology development and the expected launch of new cloud communication capabilities in the coming year, as well as additional sales and marketing infrastructure, is anticipated to help us establish a technical lead and generate top-line growth. The investment has been in the employment of additional staff for product management, development, sales and marketing as well as investments in our management systems and processes.

We are also optimistic that the considerable sales and marketing activities in the US will start contributing to growth and allow us to establish a more substantial presence in the North American market.

In the medium term, we expect the expansion of mobile coverage and capacity planned for sub-Saharan Africa, the growth of smartphone penetration on the continent and relatively limited physical infrastructure will provide the foundations for growth in Archer Digital. We also believe the same trends provide considerable opportunities for our existing relationships with the region's mobile operators. We also are investing in the expected growth in the Indian SaaS market.

We continue to review acquisition opportunities and are pleased that we are able to generate meaningful cash flows from operations to invest in organic growth initiatives as well as maintain cash for inorganic activities.

Outlook

The Group remains on track to achieve market expectations for the full year. The sales pipeline is well diversified across sectors and regions and the acquisitions are trading in line with expectations. We continue to invest in our product portfolio to capitalise on the use and growth of new mobile and digital customer engagement channels and we see good levels of interest from our large blue chip customers in all our operating regions. As a result the Board are highly confident of the Group's future prospects.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated interim Financial Statements.

   1.          Basis of preparation 

The condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements for the six month period ended 30 September 2015 have been prepared under the measurement principles of IFRS, using accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those set out in the Company's 31 March 2015 Financial Statements. As permitted by AIM rules the Group has not applied IAS 34 'Interim reporting' in preparing interim reports

IMImobile PLC (the "Company") is a company domiciled in the UK. The consolidated interim Financial Statements of the Company for the six month period ended 30 September 2015 comprise of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group").

The consolidated interim Financial Statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. A presentational currency of UK Pounds Sterling has been used and accounts have been translated from other functional currencies into UK Pounds Sterling.

The preparation of the consolidated interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.

The preparation of the consolidated interim Financial Statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated interim Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

   2.          Basis of consolidation 

The Group interim financial statements incorporate the interim financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 30 September each year. Control is achieved when the Company:

   --      has the power over the investee; 
   --      is exposed, or has rights, to variable return from its involvement with the investee; and 
   --      has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. 

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of in any period are included in the consolidated interim Income Statement from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of consideration transferred. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial information of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies into line with those used by the Group. Inter-company balances and transactions, including inter-company profits and unrealised profits and losses are eliminated on consolidation.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in the Income Statement.

The acquisition of IMI Mobile Private Limited by IMImobile PLC has been accounted for as a capital reorganisation, presenting the continuation of the Group's results and financial position to reflect the substance of the transaction, with the 24% interest in IMI Mobile Private Limited owned by the two founding shareholders accounted for as a non-controlling interest.

   2.          Basis of consolidation (continued)

   3.          Accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements of IMImobile PLC for the year ended 31 March 2015.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these consolidated interim Financial Statements.

   4.          Business and geographical segments 

The Group's operating segments are established on the basis of those components of the Group that are evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker considers results principally by geographical region, which forms the Group's operating and reporting segments. Geographically, the operating segments are defined as Europe (substantially all to the UK), India and South East Asia (SEA), Middle East and Africa (MEA) and the rest of the world, which also represent the Group's reportable segments.

The performance of the operating segments is assessed based on a measure of revenue and gross profit (the result for the segment). Any sales between segments are carried out at arm's length. As costs are shared across geographies, results from gross profit to profit after tax are assessed on a consolidated basis only. The Group does not regularly provide information in relation to the assets or liabilities of operating segments to management.

The Group measures segment profit and loss as gross profit as reported. The Group does not allocate general administration, marketing and sales expenses to segments.
