HALF YEAR RESULTS
DXS International plc ("DXS" or the "Company"),
the digital clinical decision support company, is pleased to
provide shareholders with its unaudited interim results for the
half year ending 31 October 2024.
Financial highlights:
- Revenue increased
by 2.2% to £1,730,829 (2023 - £1,693,910).
- Core recurring
revenue model remains resilient.
- Profit after tax of
£1,131 compared to a loss of (£121,567) in 2023, an improvement of
£122,698. It should be noted that, due to the write down of
deferred expenditure in April 2024, there was a very small
depreciation charge of £493 compared to that included in respect of
half year ending 31 October 2023 (£570,007). It should also be
noted that all development costs for ongoing R&D are now
included in the P&L which is in line with new HMRC
guidelines.
- Available cash at
the period end was £96,431 (2023 - £386,122), plus unutilised
debtor drawdowns of £256,670 (2023 £386,122).
- R&D tax credits
on ordinary activities down by 51% due to change in HMRC
allowances.
- Post period end,
the Company has secured a price rise in respect of some NHS
contracts that will marginally improve Revenues for the second half
of the financial year.
Operational highlights:
- Our new SMART
Referral solution continues to show promise with the integration
with the NHS’ Electronic Referral System now complete.
- The recent NHS
announcement to push a financial incentive of £80 million to GP
practices as part of a bid to reduce the elective waiting lists
bodes well for DXS’ SMART Referrals solution.
- Tackling
Cardiovascular Disease (‘CVD’) remains an NHS priority and
therefore, the positive outcomes of improving blood pressure
control during the current Innovate UK Evaluation of DXS’
ExpertCare hypertension solution shows significant promise for
wider system adoption – particularly when in England, blood
pressure control dropped from 70.9% to 66.8% between March and June
2024. (Blood pressure control is reviewed quarterly for
England).
- Started first
ExpertCare commercial contract for the management of hypertension
for a PCN in the East of England.
- We have continued
our committed investment in R&D, even though this is not
reflected in the Balance Sheet.
Outlook
Current lack of available NHS budgets remains a
barrier to closing new sales. Armed with evidence of the
effectiveness of our solutions in solving real problems for both
the patient and the taxpayer, we continue to the believe that it is
a matter of time before new NHS funding specifically aimed at
alleviating NHS pressures by the introduction of innovative digital
solutions becomes more readily available.
In addition, we continue our policy of:
- Gaining evidence
evaluated by third parties proving the effectiveness of our
solutions and demonstrating the ROI to be gained by the NHS .
- Offering a risk
sharing value-based procurement model to the NHS that include
performance based upsides.
- Providing services
to overcome the NHS resource shortage challenges.
- Forming
collaborations with organisations that currently have the skill and
accreditation to work with us.
- The intense focus
is on growing sales, but if it remains slow, appropriate
efficiencies will be considered.
David Immelman, Chief Executive of DXS,
commented:
“Although gaining sales growth remains
frustratingly slow, I repeat my statement from a year ago: We
remain confident that we have exceptionally effective solutions for
helping the NHS to resolve their acknowledged problems and that
this can be demonstrated by provable data which saves millions of
pounds annually, saves patient lives, helps with the resource
shortage and contribute to the NHS Net Zero Targets.”
“Our team remains fuelled with conviction
and enthusiasm for what we have to offer to the NHS and beyond. The
Board continues with salary cost cuts as a contribution to cash
flow.”

responsibility for this announcement. This announcement contains
