OVERVIEW
We are focused on executing our plan to capture the industrial
LED market opportunity. The shift in the Group's operating model
strategically positions us to focus on long term sustainable
growth. The strategy gives the organisation agility, allowing us to
respond quickly to changing customer and market dynamics.
During the period, we have delivered an increase in underlying
profit as well as growth in cash generation. Group revenue was
GBP92.7m (2016: GBP79.8m), including a favourable currency impact
of GBP10.0m. The US, which generates the majority of our revenues,
was up 10% on a constant currency basis. The European business was
down 25%. This was partly due to certain product lines within the
Signals and Components segments being discontinued. Additionally,
Europe represents a significant lighting opportunity where we are
rebuilding our capabilities, developing our sales force and
expanding our distribution network. Our new product road map
includes the breadth of product features and certification
requirements needed to capture these European opportunities.
Lighting order intake grew 2% year on year at constant currency
despite the impact of the transition delays, discussed below. Our
customers have delayed placing orders pending new product launches.
This has been partly mitigated by encouraging new business wins.
Underlying operating profit increased to GBP6.5m (2016: GBP4.2m),
including a favourable currency impact of GBP1.1m. Non-underlying
costs totalled GBP2.4m (2016: GBP11.1m); further details are
provided in the Financial Review section.
Platform engineering, a key pre-requisite of the transition of
our manufacturing footprint has been successfully completed. The
move to a platform concept allows Dialight to deliver solutions to
customers that better match their specific requirements while being
configured from a greatly reduced set of sub-assemblies. This has
improved forecast accuracy for manufacturing planning and will
result in reduced inventory once the transition to our
manufacturing partner has been completed. We have fundamentally
improved supply chain management and streamlined our operations.
This is clearly demonstrated in the gross margin expansion we have
achieved in the period.
Completion of the transition is taking slightly longer than
expected. We have experienced delays in the certification of some
of the products being transferred, but we expect to complete the
transition by the end of the year. To ensure continuity of supply
to our customers, we decided to keep our own facility running in
parallel and this will lead to a short period of dual running
costs.
As we finalise the foundations of a robust and scalable
manufacturing platform, we pivot our attention to driving revenue
growth in the industrial lighting market. Purchase decisions are
driven by payback and risk, our value proposition continues to
ensure that Dialight products provide the best cost of ownership to
heavy industrial customers with paybacks based on energy savings,
maintenance cost avoidance backed by a ten year warranty.
There has been progress in integrating Dialight lighting with
leading factory automation solutions. Dialight and its strategic
customers continue to explore new ways to use these solutions to
enhance factory safety and productivity.
Dialight's sales model is direct specification sale to end
users, transacting through distributors. Direct sale allows for the
value proposition to be articulated, distributor inclusion enables
simplified contracting and support for larger supply contracts. We
have added 22 new distributors with a key focus on expanding the
distribution network in Europe.
Market conditions
The main barrier to LED conversion is capex budget constraints.
There are three key approaches to proactively drive accelerated
market adoption by changing spending paradigms:
1 Enable maintenance spend - target a one year payback
2 Access different budgets- the corporate sustainability and
safety budget, design engineering budgets and process productivity
budgets
3 Promote market awareness of advantages of LEDs
Dialight recognises the opportunity to drive focus on corporate
wide LED conversion programmes. The majority of Dialight's targeted
strategic customers have a public commitment to sustainability,
including carbon footprint reduction and energy savings programmes.
Additionally, customers place a premium on work place safety.
Driving awareness of the economic benefits as well as the
sustainability and safety benefits of our lighting at the corporate
level can change the perception of lighting away from just
maintenance cost savings. We target corporate energy,
sustainability and EHS directors and maintain a team focused on
serving large new build projects.
Current quoting activity remains favorable with a strong
pipeline and both short and long-term drivers of the markets we
serve remain positive. We expect to grow in the markets we serve by
executing our strategy focused on opportunities in underpenetrated
geographies and industries, and growth from the continued
introduction of new lighting and building management solutions as
part of our integrated, solutions strategy. Based on various
leading indicators and our focused investments in key strategic
areas, we remain confident regarding the Company's prospects for
long term profitable growth.
Outlook
We are focused on executing the Group's ambitious growth
strategy as we seek to capture the opportunity in the industrial
LED lighting market. The transformation to a robust and scalable
manufacturing platform has advanced significantly in the period. We
have completed platform engineering, and nine out of twelve product
lines have transferred to our manufacturing partner with the final
three lines to be completed by the end of the year. We remain
excited by the Group's prospects and remain confident of delivering
continued growth and shareholder value. Our expectations for the
second half of 2017 remain unchanged.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
In the half year, we delivered an increase in underlying profit
and cash flow on revenue growth of 16% (3% at constant currency).
Group revenue was GBP92.7m (2016: GBP79.8m), including a favourable
currency exchange impact of GBP10.0m. The US, which generates the
majority of our revenue was up 10% on a constant currency basis.
The European business was down 25%. This was partly due to certain
product lines within the Signals and Components segments being
discontinued. We also continued our efforts to develop outside of
the US with Australian revenues up 19% at constant currency.
Underlying operating profit increased to GBP6.5m (2016:
GBP4.2m), including a favourable exchange impact of GBP1.1m.
The increase in the Group's underlying profit was a result of
the fundamental shift in Dialight's operating model, which has
reduced costs and enabled scalable, efficient production:
-- Procurement programmes resulting in GBP1.3m improvement in cost of sales
-- The closure of the UK facility has delivered savings of
GBP1.4m and further efficiencies of GBP1.2m at our Mexico plant
-- Offset partly by an increase of GBP0.9m in the cost base due
to continued investment in the sales and product management
teams
Currency impact
Dialight reports its results in Sterling. Our major trading
currency is the US Dollar with 70% of revenue denominated in US
Dollars. The Group has both translational and transactional
currency exposure. Translational exposures arise on the
consolidation of overseas company results into Sterling and this is
the major currency exposure. Transactional exposure is more limited
with natural hedging on revenue and purchases mitigating the
majority of the currency risk.
The strengthening of the US dollar compared to the first half of
2016 has been the main driver for the currency impact. The average
rate for the US Dollar against Sterling has moved from 1.43 in
first half of 2016 to 1.26 in the first half of 2017.
The performance of each business segment is reviewed
individually below. Allocation of overheads in each segment is
based on directly attributed costs plus an allocation based on
segmental revenue.
Lighting segment
2017 2016 Variance
Lighting GBPm GBPm %
----------------- ------- ------- ---------
Revenue 72.4 59.0 +23%
Gross profit 30.6 23.9 +28%
Gross profit % 42% 41% +100bps
Overheads (23.1) (18.8) (23%)
----------------- ------- ------- ---------
Underlying EBIT 7.5 5.1 +47%
----------------- ------- ------- ---------
The Lighting segment represents 78% of the Group's revenue and
82% of the Group's segmental operating profit.
Revenues were 23% higher than the prior period (9% at constant
currency). Year on year order intake increased by 2%. We have seen
growth in order intake in the US and Australia but this was offset
by reduced orders in Europe. Transition delays have impacted the
Group's order intake as certain customers have delayed placing
orders pending new product launches. We continue to diversify our
end markets and geographies, reducing our exposure to individual
vertical markets. Oil and gas as a percentage of total lighting
revenue was 300bps lower than the previous half year at 18%. This
was offset by growth in Mining, Power and Pulp & Paper.
Gross margin has increased to 42% due to the focus on commodity
management delivering material costs savings of GBP1.3m. Last year
we closed our manufacturing plant in the UK and relocated the
majority of production activity to Mexico. The strategic relocation
and further production efficiencies at the Mexico plant resulted in
a saving of GBP2.6m. The delays in the transition will defer
expected savings from our manufacturing partner to Q1 2018.
Overheads increased by GBP4.3m compared to 2016, with GBP2.2m
due to currency movements. The remainder of the increase relates to
additional headcount to enhance our product development
capabilities and expand our sales team. We have invested in
training for the existing team and continue to be heavily focused
on our HR initiatives.
The overall impact of the above was that profit in the Lighting
segment increased by 47% (28% at constant currency).
Signals and components
2017 2016 Variance
Signals and Components GBPm GBPm %
------------------------ ------ ------ ---------
Revenue 20.3 20.8 (2%)
Gross profit 5.6 4.9 +14%
Gross profit % 28% 24% +400bps
Overheads (4.0) (3.5) (14%)
------------------------ ------ ------ ---------
Underlying EBIT 1.6 1.4 +14%
------------------------ ------ ------ ---------
Signals and Components are high volume businesses operating
within highly competitive markets. There is significant competition
from low cost producers but margins improved as a result of the
transfer of traffic production from the US to Mexico in 2016. We
continue to target further cost reduction measures to combat
pricing pressure. There was a marginal increase in overheads due to
foreign exchange movements, but the gross margin expansion resulted
in an overall EBIT improvement of GBP0.2m (14%).
Central overheads
Central overheads are not allocated to these segments. In 2017
they amounted to GBP2.6m, an increase of GBP0.3m over the prior
year.
Non-underlying costs
The Group incurs costs and earns income that is non-underlying
in nature or that is otherwise considered to not be reflective of
the underlying performance of the business. In the assessment of
performance of the components of the Group, management examines
underlying performance, which removes the impact of non-underlying
costs and income.
Over the past two years the Group has been implementing our
strategic plan to transform to a robust and scalable manufacturing
platform. As we come to the end of this process we are incurring
the final tranche of costs relating to transition to our
manufacturing partner.
The table below presents the components of non-underlying profit
or loss recorded within cost of sales and administrative
expenses.
2017 2016
Non-underlying costs GBPm GBPm
-------------------------------------- ------ ------
Employee severance and restructuring
costs - 5.1
Goodwill and asset write-down - 5.1
Production transfer costs 2.4 0.7
Other - 0.2
Non-underlying costs recorded in
administrative expenses 2.4 11.1
-------------------------------------- ------ ------
In the first half, we incurred costs of GBP2.4m relating to the
transfer of lighting assembly to our manufacturing partner. These
related to set-up costs, project management and dedicated
engineering time. This transition has suffered some delays due to
the quantum of the transfer but is still expected to be completed
in the year. We expect further costs of up to GBP2m to be incurred
in the second half.
In the prior year, non-underlying costs related to the closure
of the UK manufacturing facility, expected redundancy costs at the
Mexican production facility, goodwill impairment on the European
Traffic business and initial production transfer costs to our
manufacturing partner.
Finance arrangements
We continue to have a strong balance sheet supported by good
working capital management, finishing the six months with net cash
of GBP12.7m. The Group has a revolving credit facility with HSBC
Bank plc for GBP25m with a further GBP25m "accordion" feature and
has a five-year term ending in 2021. The Group has no borrowings
against the facility at the balance sheet date and is fully
compliant with its covenant requirements.
As the Group generates higher levels of cash there is increased
focus on capital allocation, ensuring it is aligned to our long
term strategic goals. Our capital allocation strategy is firstly to
ensure investment in operating capex and product development. We
seek to maintain a strong balance sheet with significant financial
flexibility. We will be good stewards of capital with strong
capital discipline. Any excess capital will be utilised to invest
in compelling (organic and acquisitive) growth or will be returned
to shareholders.
The Board is not proposing an interim dividend payment for 2017
(2016: nil).

Notes to the financial statements
For the period ended 30 June 2017 (unaudited)
1. Basis of preparation and principal accounting policies
Dialight Plc (the "Company") is a company domiciled in the UK.
The condensed set of financial statements as at, and for, the six
month period ended 30 June 2017 comprises the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Directors
have a reasonable expectation that the Group has sufficient
resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. Thus
they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing financial statements.
The Group financial statements as at, and for, the year ended 31
December 2016 prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the
EU and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to
companies reporting under IFRS, are available upon request from the
Company's registered office at Leaf C, Level 36 Tower 42, 25 Old
Broad Street, London, EC2N 1HQ.
The comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2016 are
not the Company's statutory accounts for that year. Those accounts
have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to
the registrar of companies. The report of the auditors was (i)
unqualified (ii) did not include any reference to any matters to
which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without
qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement
under Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The condensed set of financial statements for the six month
ended 30 June 2017 is unaudited but has been reviewed by the
auditors. The Independent review report is set out at the end of
this report.
Statement of compliance
The condensed set of financial statements included in this
half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. The
condensed set of financial statements do not include all of the
information required for full annual financial statements, and
should be read in conjunction with the Group's financial statements
as at, and for the year ended 31 December 2016.
This condensed set of financial statements was approved by the
Board of Directors on 24 July 2017.
Adoption of new and revised standards
No changes to new or revised accounting standards have had a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the
Group.
Estimates and judgements
The preparation of a condensed set of financial statements
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
2. Operating segments
The Group comprises two reportable operating segments. These
segments have been identified based on the internal information
that is supplied regularly to the Group's Chief Operating Decision
Maker for the purposes of assessing performance and allocating
resources. The Chief Operating Decision Maker is considered to be
the Group's Chief Executive.
The two reportable operating segments are:
a) Lighting, which develops, manufactures and supplies highly
efficient LED lighting solutions for hazardous and industrial
applications in which lighting performance is critical and
includes anti-collision obstruction lighting; and
b) Signals and Components, which develops, manufactures and
supplies status indication components for electronics OEMs,
together with niche industrial and automotive electronic components
and highly efficient LED signalling solutions for the traffic and
signals markets.
All revenue relates to the sale of goods. Segment gross profit
is revenue less the costs of materials, labour, production and
freight that are directly attributable to a segment. Overheads
comprise operations management, selling costs plus corporate costs,
which include share-based payments.
There are no individual customers representing more than 10% of
revenue and there is no inter-segment revenue.

3. Non-underlying items
The Group incurs costs and earns income that is non-underlying
in nature or that is otherwise considered to not be reflective of
the underlying performance of the business. In the assessment of
performance of the components of the Group, management examines
underlying performance, which removes the impact of non-underlying
costs and income.
Over the past two years the Group has been implementing our
strategic plan to transform to a robust and scalable manufacturing
platform. As we come to the end of this process we are incurring
the final tranche of costs relating to transition to our
manufacturing partner.
The table below presents the components of non-underlying profit
or loss recorded within cost of sales.

Non-underlying costs recorded in administrative expenses (2.4) (11.1) (12.7)
In the first half, we incurred costs of GBP2.4m relating to the
transfer of lighting assembly to our manufacturing partner. These
related to set-up costs, project management and dedicated
engineering time. This transition has suffered some delays due to
the quantum of the transfer but is still expected to be completed
in the year. We expect further costs of up to GBP2m to be incurred
in the second half.
In the prior year, non-underlying costs related to the closure
of the UK manufacturing facility, expected redundancy costs at the
Mexican production facility, goodwill impairment on the European
Traffic business and initial production transfer costs to our
manufacturing partner.
Administrative costs contain items treated as underlying and
non-underlying.

5. Income tax expense
The tax charge of GBP1.4m for the half year to 30 June 2017
reflects the anticipated effective tax rate of 35.3% for the year
ending 31 December 2017. Non-underlying items have been taxed using
the relevant tax rates. The effective tax rate is higher than the
current UK tax rate of 20.0% due to the level of Group profits in
the US which has an effective tax rate of 38.0%. The effective tax
rate credit for the period ended 30 June 2016 was 33.8% and for the
year ended 31 December 2015 was 24.9%.
6. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per share at 30 June 2017 was
based on a profit for the period of GBP2.6m (2016: loss of GBP4.7m)
and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during
the six months ended 30 June 2017 of 32,511,298 (2016:
32,503,258).

GBP25m multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with HSBC Bank plc.
Under the terms of the facility, the Group also has a GBP25m
"accordion" facility, by which further facilities may be made
available by HSBC under the current terms to support significant
investment opportunities that may arise. At 30 June 2017, there
were no borrowings against the facility.

Responsibility statement of the directors in respect of the
half-yearly financial report
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by
the EU;
the interim management report includes a fair review of the
information required by:
(a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being
an indication of important events that have occurred during the
first six months of the financial year and their impact on the
condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the
principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of
the year; and
(b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being
related party transactions that have taken place in the first six
months of the current financial year and that have materially
affected the financial position or performance of the entity during
that period; and any changes in the related party transactions
described in the last annual report that could do so.

Independent review report to Dialight Plc
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30 June 2017 which comprises the Condensed
consolidated income statement, Condensed consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, the Condensed consolidated statement of
changes in equity, the Condensed consolidated statement of
financial position, the Condensed consolidated statement of cash
flows and the related explanatory notes and the related explanatory
notes.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
June 2017 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the
UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA").
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the
UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making
enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. We read the other information contained in the
half-yearly financial report and consider whether it contains any
apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
information in the condensed set of financial statements.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would
become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in
an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. .
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible
for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with
the DTR of the UK FCA.
As disclosed in note 1 the annual financial statements of the
group are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. The directors are
responsible for preparing the condensed set of financial statements
included in the half-yearly financial report in accordance with IAS
34 as adopted by the EU.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report based on our review.
The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our
responsibilities
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the
terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting the
requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been
undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we
are required to state to it in this report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept
or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our
review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have
reached.
