'''Half-year review'''

Following the launch of our three-year growth plan in 2021, we are already a financially, operationally, and culturally stronger business, as demonstrated by the progress made in the first half of this financial year. The growth in our revenues, annual recurring term licence revenue and the number of substantial new wins, many of which have potential for future expansion, confirm that we are successfully delivering against our three-pillared growth strategy focused on innovation, customers and smart partnerships.

We achieved Group revenues of £14.0m (H1 FY 2022: £12.6m), whilst at the same time increasing investment in the business.

At our FY 2022 results, I stated that the Board and I believed we were embarking on a transformational growth opportunity based on three key reasons:

* The customer and partner credibility we are gaining in the market
* The significantly growing market that we operate in
* The investment we have made in our market leading software platform

During the first half of FY 2023, these reasons have become even more apparent. 

'''Customer and partner credibility'''

We have achieved significant wins with new customers including HS2, a major European Aerospace company, the first win with the State of New York and a framework contract with the Eastern Transportation Coalition. Post period end, we secured our eighth NG911 competitive contract with the State of Arkansas. These new clients provide us with secure long-term levels of ARR and they provide excellent references and opportunities to increase revenues within these accounts.

Our relationship with key partners continues to expand and during the period we have signed a teaming agreement (delivery partnership) with CGI Inc., one of the world's largest independent IT and business consulting services firms, to be a strategic delivery partner on a five-year contract with the Home Office. Whilst we have no current indication of the value of our element, the total contract for CGI is initially valued at £95m. We have also started working in partnership with ATOS, a global leader in digital transformation and Rizing (now part of Wipro), a global SAP partner. The four-year contract with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) was won in conjunction with Rizing and is an indication that our strategic growth plan in the US continues to bear fruit and our reputation within the largest transportation system in the nation continues to strengthen.

Work on the large contracts secured in the previous financial year continue to progress well, enabling us to strengthen our relationships with key partners including the Geospatial Commission, QinetiQ and Atkins, adding to our credibility in the market by working with large customers and partners.

'''Significantly growing market'''

We are global leaders in providing Location Master Data management and this proposition is at the intersection of two global growing markets. Firstly, the Geospatial Information Systems Market is currently worth US$10bn, which is estimated to more than double by 2027 to US$21bn, and secondly, the mainstream Master Data Management market, which is worth US$12bn but estimated to quadruple by 2027 to US$47bn.

Despite the current macro-economic conditions, digital transformation, and the growing need for better, more accurate and shareable data to support infrastructure investment continues to drive demand for our solutions within our target markets, being Utilities, Transport and Government, where we are increasingly considered as specialists in this area. We are also continuing to see significant budgets in these areas committed from governments globally.

'''Investment in our market leading software platform'''

We have continued to invest in our market leading platform including investment in:

* Our core data management solutions such as our patented 1Integrate rules engine and our cloud-enabled portal, 1Data Gateway, to improve the user experience
* Our Esri based Business Applications such as 1Water and 1Telecomms which are currently focused on the European market
* Our cloud platform ready for the launch of multi-tenancy cloud-based solutions, which are still on track to launch before the end of H2 2023. This includes Traffic Management Plan Automation (TMPA) in the UK and NG 9-1-1 in the USA for the cities and the counties.

'''Growth strategy'''

UK

We have seen strong growth in the UK during the half, with the signing of our first significant contract with HS2, to build a data validation gateway, which has significant potential for further expansion. The total contract value over the two years is £0.9m, with potential options to extend for a further two years.

The gateway solution will enable HS2 to validate the quality, conformance and design of construction-related data submitted by their Supply Chain, which in turn will contribute to the efficiency and effective information delivery on Europe's largest infrastructure project. This is a demonstration of 1Spatial's increasing ability to secure larger contracts across our key geographies and to design, deliver and implement large-scale critical systems.

We also signed a multi-year  1Integrate  call-off contract with the  Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs  (DEFRA). The contract enables DEFRA and its associates to license 1Integrate and procure its data management implementation services through the enterprise licence agreement on G-Cloud 12. DEFRA is responsible for improving and protecting the environment and this contract complements our relationship of over ten years in supporting and developing its data management, data governance and data quality capabilities.

We are also making good progress on implementing the solutions on the two major contracts (UK Government contract and NUAR) signed in FY 2022, and these are expected to provide growth opportunities in the future.

Successes such as these, and the considerable size of our sales pipeline, give us the confidence to continue to invest in the business, to ensure we have the right structure to deliver on the growing opportunity as we move into the second half of the year and beyond.

Europe

We continue to push the European market to transition from the perpetual licence model to the term licences structure but this is not as well advanced as in the UK and US. We signed a major five-year contract with a European aerospace company with a total value over the five years of approximately €3m including around €0.7m implementation services and around €0.6m per annum (for four years commencing in FY 2024) of software licence and managed services revenue. The timing of closing this contract combined with fewer recurring term licences impacted the revenue in the period which grew at 2% at constant currency.

US

The US is a key geography for our growth strategy to provide scalability. For example, there is only one department of transport (DOT) in the UK whereas there are 50 in the US, presenting a major opportunity for the business going forward. The success of our strategy can be seen in our growing profile in North America. During the first half, we successfully sold and implemented 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway in a number of clients, both new and expanding on existing contracts, building our annual recurring revenue from our repeatable solutions such as NG 9-1-1.

Notable new customer wins in the US in the period include:

* US$1.4m expansion contract with the State of California over four years - secured in partnership with Rizing (now Wipro),  a global SAP partner. T he State of California is an existing client of 1Spatial, having already selected 1Spatial's Next Generation 9-1-1 solution.
* First contract with University of Maryland CATT Labs - Five-year contract with initial value of around $0.6m, which will be recognised over the five-year period, adding to the Group's annual recurring revenue.
* First contract with the State of New York - for various proof of concept projects using 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway.
* First contract with the State of Arkansas - for NG 9-1-1, a seven-year contract for $1.2m over the period and now the eighth US State to select the solution.

Post-period end we also closed the following sales:

* First contract with the Eastern Transportation Coalition, a partnership of 18 US east coast States and Washington DC, which has secured its first contract through the marketplace, for US$400k with Massachusetts Department of Transportation. The total potential contract value for conflation within this ETC framework agreement is estimated to be up to US$15m over eight years.

* First contract with the State of Indiana - for various proof of concept projects using 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway.

'''People'''

At the heart of our growth pillars is our 1Team, a world class, committed team of people who embody our values of We Respect, We Innovate, We Collaborate, We Trust and We Care.

During the period we were delighted to have been certified as a Most Loved Workplace®, backed by Best Practice Institute (BPI) research and analysis. This was based on our scores on their Love of Workplace Index™, which surveys employees on various elements around employee satisfaction and sentiment, including the level of respect, collaboration, support, and sense of belonging they feel inside the Company.

Communication with our staff and maintaining wellbeing is crucial, especially in the current macroeconomic environment. We have regular global company meetings and actively promote the importance of mental health. As part of our commitment to their well-being, we continue to roll out initiatives such as mental health awareness training, internal events and initiatives to encourage staff to take time out from their working day and have appointed mental health first aiders.  We kicked off our annual wellbeing month in September 2022 and we are planning a range of activities including an employee volunteering community clean-up day in the UK.

We are always looking at ways to ensure equality and diversity across our company and an inclusive, welcoming working environment for everyone. Over the past year, we have created global initiatives to celebrate: International Women's Day, World Food Day, Diwali, Thanksgiving, Mental Health Awareness Week, Earth Day and Health and Happiness month.

The teams continue to show ingenuity and commitment day-to-day, for which the Board and I thank them wholeheartedly. Their ability to innovate continually whilst delivering the highest levels of customer satisfaction means that our growth pillars are built on very secure foundations.

'''ESG'''

We made good progress with the development of our ESG strategy. In March we kicked off a stakeholder materiality assessment to determine the priority areas of our ESG strategy. We consulted with more than 150 stakeholders during this process, consisting of customers, employees, board members and senior management (representing 'the business'), shareholders, partners and suppliers. During this process, we identified 13 issues that were considered of high importance. These 13 issues will be consolidated into key focus areas, linked to specific targets and objectives. These objectives will be developed through industry benchmarking, peer review and business consultations. We aim to complete this process during this financial year and expect to report back on our ESG strategy in our 2023 Annual Report.

'''Strategic priorities for H2 2023'''

Our focus remains on the three pillars of our growth strategy and we continue to invest in order to position the business to take advantage of the huge opportunity ahead.

The expansion of the 1Spatial Cloud platform will be a key strategic focus for the Group and the planned launch of our multi-tenancy SaaS based solutions later in H2 2023, including NG911 and Traffic Management Plan, will enable us to increase our addressable market and existing customer demand for web-based access to our solutions.

We will continue to grow our pipeline and invest in the business and its people to support our expanded customer base. In terms of our financial goals, the Group remains focused on increased revenue growth, underpinned by growing annual recurring revenue and to continue our trajectory of increased profitability at adjusted EBITDA level and higher cash generation over the long-term.

'''Current trading and outlook'''

We believe we are just at the start of the transformation of our market. Evidenced by the number and size of wins in this half, we sit right at the heart of the changes across multiple sectors.

With a strong sales pipeline in all regions, positive market landscape and the investments we continue to make in our technology, we are well-positioned to capitalise on the expanding market opportunity. Our expanding partner networks and growing levels of recurring revenue will enable us to continue to execute successfully on the remainder of our three-year growth plan.

Trading in the second half is in line with Board expectations with several new contracts secured. While cognisant of inflationary cost pressures, the Board remains confident in delivering results for FY 2023 in line with management's expectations.

'''Financial performance'''

Financial performance

'''Summary'''

The Group delivered a solid financial performance in the period, with further growth in revenues, ARR and adjusted EBITDA profit levels, while increasing its spending on innovation, pre-sales and delivery capacity in order to continue to secure higher value longer-term recurring contracts.

'''Revenue'''

Group revenue increased by 11% to £14.0m (11% at constant currency) from £12.6m in H1 2022.  The business strategy is to grow recurring revenue from repeatable business solutions on longer-term contracts, including recurring term licences, rather than one-off perpetual licences. In FY 2021, the Board approved a three-year revenue growth plan, with increased planned spending on technology, sales and delivery capacity in order to effect a step change in revenue growth. As a result of this focus, recurring revenue in the period increased by 18% to £6.6m from £5.6m and the Group achieved organic growth in revenue of 11%. The revenue by type is shown below:

'''Growth in term licence ARR'''

We are growing term licences from our proprietary solutions but we also sell third-party products on a standalone basis or to support our own solution sales. In the twelve-month period to 31 July 2022, we have increased the annualised value of term licences by 115% overall (141% for 1Spatial solutions), as shown in the table below.

'''Annualised Recurring Revenue'''

The Annualised Recurring Revenue ("ARR") (annualised value at the period-end of committed recurring contracts for term licences and support and maintenance) increased by 29% (at constant currency) from £11.8m at 31 July 2021 to £15.2m as at 31 July 2022. The growth rates varied by region as shown in the table below with all regions growing total ARR and the UK growing at the fastest rate of 58%.  The US and Australia also had excellent growth rates. Europe's ARR growth rate was modest at 6% reflecting a slower transition to recurring term licences in the region. The overall renewal rate remains high at around 94%.

'''Committed services revenue'''

The level of committed services revenue, which has reduced since the start of the year as services revenue on our major projects won last year is recognised, nevertheless remains historically high at £11.6m and provides strong revenue visibility, underpinning the Group's strong financial footing.

The combination of growing ARR, committed services revenue backlog and a strong pipeline of prospects means that the business is on track to make further progress on its revenue growth plan. With the business focus on developing and selling repeatable software solutions under a SaaS model, there is an increased level of revenue visibility, which allows the Board to continue to invest with confidence.

It was pleasing to achieve double-digit revenue growth overall, which was driven mainly by the strong growth in the UK and US following excellent contract wins last year, offset by the results in Europe and Australia.  In Europe, revenue was impacted by the timing of closing a major contract and a slower transition to a recurring term licence model, resulting in only modest growth of 2% at constant currency. In Australia, where revenue is primarily derived from third party software deals, we experienced more competitive pricing pressure, combined with the transition from perpetual to term licences, which resulted in a 5% fall in revenue at constant currency. Going forward, all regions will continue to focus on increasing their sales of higher margin owned technology sold as term licences.

'''Gross profit margin'''

As we moved into a higher inflationary environment, the business increased its pricing and charge out rates to offset actual and expected cost increases. However, the gross margin reduced to 50% compared to 51% and this was partly due to the timing impact of cost increases being ahead of the effect of increased prices.

Cost management continues to be an important focus during FY 2023, although the business is incurring some planned increases in costs in order to support future revenue growth. The management team decided to increase employee salaries at a higher level than in the past with the aim of retaining and motivating our skilled team and this had an impact on gross margin and EBITDA margin. Going forward, the management team are focused on driving improvements to the gross margin levels, through revenue growth of higher margin term licences.

'''Adjusted EBITDA'''

The adjusted EBITDA increased by 10% to £2.0m from £1.8m in the prior period. The EBITDA margin was slightly lower than the prior period at 14.4% (H1 2022: 14.5% ). 

'''Operating profit and profit before tax'''

The Group recorded an operating profit of £0.4m compared to a loss of £0.2m in the prior year, continuing the improving financial trend of the business.  Profit before tax was £0.3m ( H1 2022: loss before tax £0.3m). 

'''Taxation'''

The tax charge for the period was £0.1m (H1 2022: credit of £0.1m).

'''Balance sheet'''

The Group's net assets increased to £15.7m at 31 July 2022 (H1 2022: £14.6m).  Trade and other receivables increased year on year to £12.3m (H1 2022: £9.4m), mainly due to increased accrued income at period end following recent contract wins.

'''Cash flow'''

Operating cash flow inflow was £1.3m (H1 2022: £0.6m). This was higher than the prior year primarily due to the reversal of some Covid support and the cash impact of the European integration costs incurred in H1 FY 2022. Cash flow has also been impacted by the requirement for higher working capital on larger projects and the planned increase in R&D expenditure, which is incurred ahead of expected higher future licence revenue. Whilst the free cash flow* was negative in H1 2023 (H2 is typically stronger for cash generation than H1), there was nevertheless an improvement year on year, even after increased R&D spending, as shown in the table below:

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Free cash flow is defined as net increase/(decrease) in cash for the year before cash flows from the acquisition of subsidiaries, cash flows from new borrowings and repayments of borrowings and cash flow from new share issue.

After the period end, £0.2m has been received in relation to R&D tax credit from HMRC.  We also paid earlier in September 2022, €408k related to the remaining deferred consideration on the GI acquisition completed in 2019.

'''Investment in R&D'''

Development costs capitalised in the period amounted to £1.6m (H1 2022: £1.3m).  Amortisation of development costs was £0.7m (H1 2022: £0.9m).  The increased R&D expenditure primarily relates to the investment in cloud-based SaaS solutions.

'''Financing'''

As the number of higher value sales contracts has increased, the Board decided that it would be prudent to put in place a £3m Revolving Credit Facility to ensure that the Group's working capital position is strengthened. The resulting secured facility, arranged in June 2022, is committed for three years and priced on competitive terms. As at 31 July 2022 the facility was undrawn.

The Group repaid as scheduled £0.2m (H1 2022: £0.2m) in relation to its existing long-term bank loans. At the period-end the total loans outstanding were £2.2m (H1 2022: £2.7m). With a gross cash position of £4.5m at 31 July 2022 (H1 2022: £5.5m) and with a growing order backlog and pipeline, and with the revolving credit facility in place, the business is in a strong financial position, which gives the Board the confidence to continue to invest.

Going forward, the Board and management teams are focused on increasing revenues, in particular recurring revenues, whilst improving the Group's profitability and cash generation.

'''Notes to the Interim Financial Statements'''

'''1. Principal activity'''

1Spatial plc is a public limited company which is listed on the AIM London Stock Exchange and is incorporated and domiciled in the UK.  The address of the registered office is Tennyson House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WZ.  The registered number of the Company is 5429800.

The principal activity of the Group is the development and sale of software along with related consultancy and support. 

'''2. Basis of preparation'''

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 July 2022 has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report does not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 January 2022 and any public announcements made by 1Spatial Plc during the interim reporting period. The annual financial statements of the Group were prepared in accordance UK adopted international accounting standards.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 January 2022.The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have a material impact on the interim financial statements of the Group.

The financial information for the six months ended 31 July 2022 and 31 July 2021 is neither audited nor reviewed and does not constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 for 1Spatial plc or for any of the entities comprising the 1Spatial Group.  Statutory financial statements for the preceding financial year ended 31 January 2022 were filed with the Registrar and included an unqualified auditors' report.

After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements.

These interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on 27 September 2022.

There is no material difference between basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.

For H1 FY 2022, basic loss per share and diluted loss per share are the same because the options are anti-dilutive. Therefore, they have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares.
