CHAIRMAN AND CEO JOINT STATEMENT
We are delighted with the delivery of a robust financial
performance during the first half of 2022, which has been achieved
alongside delivery of our other Company milestones including
product and technical development and product launches.
Significantly, this included the successful development, build and
launch of our new portfolio of DNA wellness test panels, which has
been our first milestone launch following the success of our COVID
testing portfolio. We have sustained our progress in the COVID
space which has become increasingly competitive this year,
demonstrating that once again we have nurtured our customer base
through high levels of uncertainty and surge demand, with strong
execution having added the distribution of lateral flow tests to
our "at-home" product portfolio.
This performance has been underpinned by a strong customer base,
robust partner suppliers, and most importantly, a committed team
who have delivered another superb set of results. Our thanks go to
each person who has worked to deliver as part of this team for MHC
this year, together we are energised and eager to deliver our new
product launches in the coming months.
Financial performance - supply chain management and customer
service
We traded strongly through Spring which far exceeded
expectations with revenue delivery of GBP9.8m (six months ended 30
June 2021: GBP3.3m; year ended 31 December 2021: GBP16.4m) and an
adjusted EBITDA achievement of GBP372,000 (six months ended 30 June
2021: GBP199,000 loss; year ended 31 December 2021: GBP2,729,000).
Revenue growth in the period was driven by high volume distribution
of COVID lateral flow tests ("LFTs") which were supplied into top
pharmacy retailers via both in-store and online channels. Demand
spiked in April as direct-to-consumer purchases were driven by the
Government's cessation of free lateral flow testing for the general
public, and a change in consumer behaviour to 'self-elected'
lateral flow testing. Store distribution increased throughout the
first half of the year, building a reach that spanned impulse
travel outlets through to flagship top-tier city-centre stores.
During the period the business managed a high-volume national
supply chain, shipping over 6.4m COVID tests into the market and
ensuring that we carefully managed purchasing and logistics in an
unpredictable and challenging global situation.
Gross margins have reduced to 15.4% (six months ended 30 June
2021: 33.6%; year ended 31 December 2021: 31.3%) reflecting the
change in product mix from higher margin COVID PCR testing to LFTs
in what is a competitive, high demand environment, and whilst the
margins associated with LFTs are lower than laboratory testing, we
have used our best efforts to balance customer value with the
promise of a first-class, reliable supply chain management.
Overheads were broadly in line with prior years. In April we
took the decision to close our Manchester laboratory operation,
reducing future operational costs by approximately GBP25,000 per
month. Our lab and experienced staff team played a key role in
securing major contracts and servicing customer orders in 2021, and
our team delivered during peak demand phases. The closure has
enabled the business to focus on the commercialisation and
development of our digital platform, and future investment will be
channelled into strengthening the areas that provide the greatest
long term growth potential, namely our digital platform,
complementary services, and commercialisation.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:
Unaudited Unaudited Audited
30 June 2022 30 June 2021 31 December 2021
GBP'000 GBP'000 GBP'000
------------------------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------

------------------------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------
Adjusted EBITDA 372 (199) 2,729
------------------------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------
* Includes additional depreciation of GBP66,000
As a performance milestone on the acquisition of Nell Health
Limited has not been met the Directors believe that the contingent
deferred consideration of GBP1m will no longer be payable and have
therefore released the provision for this amount. Consequently the
Group's profit before and after taxation amounted to GBP1,009,000
(six months ended 30 June 2021: GBP269,000 loss; year ended 31
December 2021: GBP2,004,000) giving a basic earnings per share of
0.13p (six months ended 30 June 2021: 0.04p loss; year ended 31
December 2021: 0.28p) and fully diluted earnings per share of 0.13p
(year ended 31 December 2021: 0.27p).
Our careful delivery and focus on expenditure has also enabled
us to retain a robust cash position with cash balances as at 30
June 2022 of GBP6,995,000 (six months ended 30 June 2021:
GBP2,214,000; year ended 31 December 2021: GBP6,387,000). This
marks the achievement of cash KPIs and our commitment to generating
income for investment in our future portfolio and rollout.
New product launches
The delivery of our testing portfolio, and subsequent soft
launch, has been a significant milestone for us in 2022 as we have
begun to build a portfolio of consumer wellness tests to support
market needs outside of the pressurised NHS. Our DNA tests have
been developed in house, using SNPs ("Single Nucleotide
Polymorphisms") that must meet specific criteria before our
Scientific Advisory Board approves them for inclusion within our
tests, and have been developed to meet an anticipated change in
consumer behaviour to self-management and preventative wellness.
Our initial portfolio has been priced competitively within the DNA
space for accessibility, and whilst it is far too early to comment
on market position, our initial launch on Amazon and ongoing
retailer discussions have indicated that the market is receptive to
at-home wellness testing, including those using DNA extraction
methods. We continue to work towards expanding our distribution
network for this new portfolio.
Technology Developments
A key development area for us in the first half of this year has
been our digital platform, which includes a simple reporting format
for our new DNA tests. We are further expanding this to accommodate
our upcoming product launches, whilst ensuring risk, customer
safety, GDPR, data, security, regulations and governance are at the
core of our digital evolution. Our platform has been used directly
by well over 100,000 customers and provides a great customer
experience that meets with the approval of our direct at-home
customers and our retail partners. Our investment and development
team continues to channel into the building of a 'growth stack'
where the emphasis is on technology that allows for growth and auto
scaling as our volume increases, focusing on a modular approach
that will ensure our platform is agile, scalable and adaptable to
the evolving digital landscape.
Post-period achievements
July 2022 was a record-breaking month with revenue of GBP6.8m
(unaudited) after the delivery of over 5.5m COVID LFTs into the
market in that month alone. Alongside this delivery we have made
significant progress on building a Phase 2 portfolio of further
wellness products ready for launch in Q4 2022, which have been
market validated using quantitative customer insights. These tests,
that predominantly use blood sampling methods, will further
strengthen our range, and enable us to provide the most popular
tests, and subsequent results on our proven, simple to use digital
reporting platform.
Market readiness and new launches
Our team has grown in terms of calibre through the period, with
the appointment of digital development expertise, product
management and marketing personnel, along with the appointment of
additional medical advisors and knowledgeable subject matter
experts in key marketing disciplines. We will execute a significant
marketing push in line with our new product launches, and look
forward to providing an update as we build momentum towards our
launches. Much of this strategy is being shaped by further
qualitative market insights through Q3 and Q4, as we invest in
listening to a customer base that has emerged since the pandemic
with new perspectives and behaviours. We will use this information
to further shape our strategy and ensure that our products,
services, and messaging resonates with our customer base and brings
end users into a relationship development funnel.
Outlook
We have delivered strong revenue and operational performance in
the first half of 2022, which, alongside new product launches and
the building of a robust strategic growth plan, we believe will
significantly support our customer base in meeting their health
needs. Through clear decision making and proactive routes to
self-selection, we can add value to the customer journey. We are
filled with optimism and energy for the remainder of the year,
where we will see our commercial, digital and product teams
continue to strengthen, and deliver the builds and rollout plans
that will underpin further growth.
Our half year and post-period performance has further
demonstrated the establishment of a strong, credible, commercially
focused operation that is committed to growth and delivery, and our
excitement for next year is further heightened by the fact that we
are still in the relatively early stages of our growth plan, which
is anchored within at-home testing. Our Management and Board firmly
believe in MyHealthChecked and are committed to building further
upon this position of strength that has been achieved, so far, in
2022.
