Jason Sayers, CEO of Filta, commented:
"The acquisition of Watbio has contributed to us becoming one of
the leading providers of FOG, Pump, Drain and Seal services in the
UK, whilst the steady growth of our franchisees and franchise
numbers in North America and Europe is ever-increasing our profile
and market footprint. Whilst some of the timings of the
efficiencies expected at the time of Watbio's acquisition have come
through slightly later than projected, we are pleased with its
performance and the exciting opportunities it presents for next
year and beyond. We continue to see substantial opportunities for
further growth in our respective markets, with our services being
used by 2% or less of the available markets in each geography.
The strength of our operations in the UK, North America and
Europe will drive our ongoing growth in each of these regions and
our focus on quality of customer service, franchisee support and
innovations will ensure that we remain a market leader in our
industry. At the same time, we envisage that the demand for our
services will continue to grow hand in hand with the increasing
regulation relating to hygiene standards across the food
preparation and provision industries. "

Chief Executive's and Chairman's Statement
Overview
We are pleased to report strong performances across all of the
Group's businesses in the six months ended 30 June 2019. The Group
achieved revenue of GBP12.2 million, up 86% compared to the first
half of the previous year (2018: GBP6.6 million), and an adjusted
EBITDA of GBP1.7m (2018: GBP1.3m). The significant increase in
revenue is largely due to the contribution of Watbio Holdings Ltd
("Watbio"), a national provider of grease management and Drain
services, which was acquired in December 2018 and has contributed
GBP4.2 million of the increase, with a further GBP1.4 million
coming from strong organic growth (up 21%) in the original
businesses.
The integration of the Watbio business has proceeded
satisfactorily with very little loss of business and some high
profile new customers gained during the period. Our focus through
the period has been on bringing its operating margins into line
with our Company-owned activities through efficiencies and cost
reductions, including the rationalisation of properties, a
reduction in staff where utilisation rates were low, improved
vehicle leasing arrangements and the introduction of scheduling
software to improve daily revenue generation. Whilst these actions
have all been implemented and the benefits are beginning to come
through, they will not be fully seen until the fourth quarter
through better customer-servicing and higher gross profit
margins.
Strong operating performances across all our business platforms
during this period of consolidation have resulted in a gross profit
in the first half of the year of GBP5.0m (2018: GBP3.4m). Profit
before tax for the half year was GBP0.5 million (2018: GBP1.0
million), after taking account of post-acquisition restructuring
charges, professional fees and higher amortisation costs resulting
from the acquisition activity as well as a higher level of
overheads reflecting investments in both people and systems to
manage the increasing volume of business.
The Group's net debt was GBP1.6 million at 30 June 2019 (31
December 2018: GBP1.3 million net cash) including new lease-related
debt of GBP1.0 million relating to property and vehicle leases now
included as debt under IFRS 16.
The GBP3.1 million net change in the cash position during the
period related primarily to the Watbio acquisition and included a
final consideration payment, including related acquisition costs,
of GBP1.8 million, the pay-down of an assumed financing facility of
GBP0.7 million and related term debt repayments of GBP0.5
million.
Operating Review
As a result of the acquisition of Watbio, an increased
proportion of the Group's revenues and earnings are derived from
the provision of services through our Company-owned businesses.
These services are recurring in nature and an essential element of
our business model. As has been the case with FiltaSeal, we are
building a customer base which is served by continuing maintenance
contracts and arrangements from which we earn repeat revenue with a
high degree of visibility.
Accordingly, we consider that it would be more helpful and
meaningful to present our trading results according to a
categorisation which better reflects the nature of the business,
namely
-- Fryer Management, the original core business which includes
recurring franchise royalties, national accounts income, waste oil
sales and other continuing income derived through our franchise
network
-- Franchise Development, which includes the sales and resales
of franchises, as well as additional territory sales to existing
franchisees, is a driver for increasing Fryer Management
revenues
-- Site Services, which comprises the recurring maintenance
fees, either under contract or otherwise, from Watbio's FOG, Pump
and Drain services, FiltaFOG and FiltaSeal
-- Equipment Sales & Installation, which is the entry point
to new customers and therefore drives increasing revenues from Site
Services.
As already stated, the Group has enjoyed revenue growth in each
of its legacy businesses and added a further 54% by the acquisition
of Watbio.
Fryer Management
Royalties and other revenue including from national accounts and
waste oil sales, all of which is recurring in nature, from fryer
management services provided through our franchise network
increased by 28% over the same period last year to GBP5.5 million
(2018: GBP4.3 million) and a gross profit of GBP2.4 million (2018:
GBP2.0 million). The addition of 17 MFUs during the period will
ensure further revenue growth over the second half and into future
periods. The main growth drivers of fryer management services
continue to be the expansion, by adding MFUs, of existing Franchise
Owners and the steady recruitment of new Franchise Owners.
Franchise Development
Nine new franchise agreements, five in Europe, two in the UK and
two in North America, were secured in H1 bringing our total
franchise count to 204 throughout our global network. Franchises
are operating 467 MFUs, up 17 during the current period and by 45
since the same time last year. We expect more franchises to be
added in the second half of 2019, with a high level of interest
currently being shown by potential franchisees.
Site Services
Site Services comprise our legacy FiltaSeal and FiltaFOG service
offerings now complemented by Watbio's FOG, Pump and Drain
services. We derived GBP4.4 million, 36% of the Group's total
revenue, from Site Services, up by GBP3.2 million (2018: GBP1.2
million from FiltaSeal and FiltaFOG). The gross profit of GBP1.3
million represents an overall gross margin of 31% (2018: GBP0.6
million, gross margin 47%), which we expect to increase above 40%
with the benefit of the cost savings and efficiencies introduced
during the period.
Equipment Sales & Installation
This activity comprises FiltaFOG and FiltaPump Equipment Sales
& Installation. With the benefit of an additional GBP1.2
million in revenue from Watbio and 34% growth from our legacy
businesses, this area of the business contributed GBP1.5 million in
revenue. We have secured a number of new customers, both through
the Watbio acquisition and subsequently. Our customer base now
includes a number of national chains, including Greene King,
Mitchells and Butlers, McDonald's and Tesco.
Infrastructure
The Company has continued to invest in and expand its customer
support capacity by sourcing talent for the marketing, information
technology and sales support teams. We have also increased
marketing spend to accelerate growth across the business.
New field service scheduling software, supporting the Equipment
Sales & Installation and Site Service activities, has been
implemented and is fully operational. This software and the
integration of Watbio's financial and accounting records provide
improved efficiencies while affording us the requisite scale to
support future growth.
Dividends
The Board is pleased to declare an interim dividend of 1.00
pence per share (2018: 0.72 pence), representing an increase of 39%
over the prior year and 30% of adjusted earnings per share
(adjusted for non-cash and non-recurring items) of 3.37 pence. This
will be paid on 4 October 2019 to shareholders on the register at
the close of business on 20 September 2019.
Outlook
Since acquiring Watbio at the end of last year, we have been
focused on integrating its operations with our existing FOG
activities and ensuring that the identified cost-saving plans and
operational efficiencies are realised. This work is now largely
complete and since July this year we have begun to benefit from
improved utilisation of technicians and vans, reduced property
costs reflecting the consolidation of activities and savings
through improved purchasing power. The benefits from these
improvements will increase through the rest of the second half and
we expect to enter 2020 with a gross margin run rate from the
former Watbio activities substantially higher than at the start of
2019.
Our existing businesses, FiltaSeal and the legacy FiltaFOG work,
have also benefitted from the improved scheduling software and we
expect to see the revenues from these activities continue to grow
at the rate achieved in the first half of 2019.
Franchise sales in the US have gathered momentum after an
initial slow start to the year and, importantly, our existing
franchisees continue to grow their own businesses with the numbers
of MFUs, which underpin our royalty income, increasing every
month.
Following the acquisition of Watbio, Filta has become one of the
leading providers of FOG Services in the UK, making us well-placed
to capitalise on recent changes to hygiene regulation. This, in
conjunction with the underlying growth in our other business areas,
gives us confidence in the outlook for the remainder of the year
and beyond.

The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis. At the period end the Group was profitable and had
cash and cash equivalents of GBP3.6m. The Directors are satisfied
that there are sufficient resources available for the Group to
continue for the foreseeable future.
Leases
The Group has initially adopted IFRS 16, Leases, from 1 January
2019.
IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet accounting model
for lessees. As a result, the Group, as a lessee, has recognised
right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying
assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make
lease payments.
The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective
approach. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for
2018 has not been restated and is presented as previously reported
under IAS 17 and related interpretations. The details of the
changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.
A. Definition of a lease
Previously, Filta determined at contract inception whether an
arrangement was or contained a lease under IFRIC 4, Determining
Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. The Group now assesses
whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the new
definition of a lease. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains a
lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration.
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the
practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which
transactions are leases. Contracts that were not identified as
leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the
definition of a lease under IFRS 16 has been applied only to
contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a
lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the
contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of
their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of
properties in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to
separate non-lease components and will instead account for the
lease and non-lease component as a single lease component.
B. The Group's leasing activities and how these were accounted for
The Group primarily leases properties and vehicles.
As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating
or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease
transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognises right-of-use assets
and lease liabilities for most leases.
However, on transition to IFRS 16, the Group has applied
practical expedients under IFRS 16 not to recognise right-of-use
assets and leases liabilities for some leases of low-value assets
(e.g. copiers) and for operating leases with a remaining lease term
of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019. The Group recognises
the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group presents the right-of-use assets as a non-current
asset. The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets are as
below:
Right of use
assets GBP
------------------------------------ ----------------------
Balance at 1 January 2019 846,073
Balance at 30 June 2019 1,018,255
------------------------------------ ----------------------
The Group presents lease liabilities in both current and
non-current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
i. Summary of new accounting policies
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
at the commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially
measured as:
-- The initial measurement of the lease liability; plus
-- Initial indirect costs; plus
-- Prepaid lease payments; plus
-- Estimated costs to dismantle, remove or restore; less
-- Lease incentives received.
The lease liability is initially measured at:
-- The present value of lease payments payable over the lease
term plus the present value of expected payments at the end of the
lease, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease, or
the incremental borrowing rate, where the interest rate implicit in
the lease cannot be readily determined.
The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied
to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 was 4.25%. The lease
liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost and
decreased by the lease payment made. It is remeasured when there is
a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index
or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be
payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate,
changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option
is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is
reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The table below presents a reconciliation from operating lease
commitments disclosed at 31 December 2018 to lease liabilities
recognised at 1 January 2019.
GBP
Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 31
December 2018 570,612
(Less): short term and low value leases recognised
on a straight-line basis as an expense (8,031)
Undiscounted operating lease commitments at 31
December 2018 562,581
---------------------------
Discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing
rate of 4.25% at the date of initial application 429,791
Add: finance lease liabilities recognised as at
31 December 2018 168,448
Add: new finance leases effective 1 January 2019 229,760
Lease liabilities recognised as at 1 January 2019 828,000
---------------------------
Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some
lease contracts which include renewal options. The assessment of
whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options
impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of
lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.
C. Adjustments recognised on adoption of IFRS 16
i. Impact on transition
Upon initial adoption, the Group measured the right-of-use
assets in an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for
any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously
recognised. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of
the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental
borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
1 January 2019
GBP
------------------------------ --------------------------------------
Right of use assets 846,073
Lease liabilities 828,000
--------------------------------------------- ------------------------
The difference between the ROU assets and lease liability values
as at 1 Jan 2019 relate to the existing finance leases prior to the
adoption of IFRS 16.
ii. Impacts for the period
In relation to those leases under IFRS 16, for the six months
ended 30 June 2019, the Group has recognised amortisation and
interest costs of GBP142,674 and GBP19,351 respectively.
2. Earnings per share
The calculation of earnings per share is based on the following
earnings and number of shares:

3. Segmental Analysis
In January 2019, following the acquisition of Watbio Holdings,
the Company began to make a number of changes to its organisational
structure and management system consistent with its integration of
the Watbio. With these changes, the Company has updated its
reportable segments. The Company continues to have four reportable
segments as follows:
The Site Service's segment includes our legacy Seal replacement
service as well as capabilities in providing preventive maintenance
and reactive services in the markets we serve. The Equipment Sales
& Installation segment represents the provision of design, sale
and installation solutions. The Franchise Development and Fryer
Management segments remain unchanged. The Group also has three
geographic segments: United Kingdom, North America and Europe.
Previously reported segment information has been recast, as
applicable, for all periods presented to reflect the changes in the
Company's reportable segments.
The segments represent components of the Company for which
separate financial information is available that is utilised on a
regular basis by the chief operating decision maker (which takes
the form of the Board of Directors), in determining how to allocate
resources and evaluate performance. The segments are determined
based on several factors, including client base, homogeneity of
products, technology, delivery channels and similar economic
characteristics.
Revenue and non-current assets by origin of geographical segment
for all entities in the Group is as follows:

6. Share option scheme
The Company maintains an EMI Share Option Scheme to incentivise
executives and employees of Filta Group Holdings and its
subsidiaries. For U.K. employees, Options have been awarded over a
total of 1,632,500 ordinary shares, of which a total of 840,000
were issued on 11 January 2019 to our new Watbio employees. The
options vest, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
over a period of 5 years from the date of grant. All options issued
will meet the vesting conditions between 2019 and 2024 and are
exercisable at any time after vesting and within 10 years from the
grant date.com
As at 30 June 2019, a total of 1,192,500 (2018: 210,000) were
outstanding, having a range of exercise prices from 0.97p to 2.30p
(2018: 0.97p to 1.74p) and a weighted average exercise price of
2.05p (2018:1.10p). These outstanding awards have a weighted
average contractual life of 9.33 years (2018: 6.68 years).
All qualifying U.S. employees have been awarded share
acquisition rights (SARs). The SARs are conditional bonuses whose
value will be calculated by reference to the amount by which the
price of the Company's ordinary shares has risen above the grant
price, thus providing holders of SARs the same reward value as if
the SARs were share options. The qualifying conditions and timing
of vesting are identical to those within the share option scheme
for UK employees. All SARs are settled in cash when exercised.
An option will normally only be exercisable to the extent it has
fully vested, and any applicable non-market performance conditions
have been satisfied or waived. Options shall lapse to the extent
unexercised on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant or such
earlier date as specified by the Board at the date of grant.
As at 30 June 2019, a total of 600,000 (2018: 330,000) were
outstanding, having a range of exercise prices from 0.97p to 2.30p
(2018: 0.97p) and a weighted average exercise price of 1.54p (2018:
0.97p). These outstanding awards have a weighted average
contractual life of 8.69 years (2018: 8.84 years).
Movement in the number of share options outstanding during the
year, including grants, exercises and forfeitures were as
follows:

value of the share-based payment arrangements. This included
GBP187,152 (2018: GBP2,442) related to equity-settled share options
and GBP116,208 (2018: GBP29,252) from cash-settled SARs.
