ABOUT ITIM
itim was established in 1993 by its founder, and current Chief
Executive Officer, Ali Athar. itim was initially formed as a
consulting business, helping retailers effect operational
improvement. From 1999 the Company began to expand into the
provision of proprietary software solutions and by 2004 the Company
was focused exclusively on digital technology. itim has grown both
organically and through a series of acquisitions of small, legacy
retail software systems and associated applications which itim has
redeveloped to create a fully integrated end to end Omni-channel
platform.
CEO Statement
The Group is pleased to report an increase in revenue in the
period despite the well documented challenging market conditions
for retail companies.
Revenue for the six month period was GBP7.4m (HY22: GBP6.8m) an
increase of 9%, of which recurring revenues were GBP6.4m (HY22:
GBP5.6m) representing 86% of sales and underpinning future sales.
Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA excluding share-based payment charges and
exceptional items) fell to a loss of GBP0.2m (HY22: GBP0.3m) as a
result of investment in R&D and in building and protecting our
staff base. Cash balances totalled GBP2.7m at the period end (FY22:
GBP5.3m) reflecting investment in anticipated product development.
Adjusted loss per share was 3.02p (HY22: loss 1.2p).
The wider retail market has remained challenging for most
operators however there are signs that omni channel retailers are
beginning to fare better than their peers. With this in mind, the
Group relaunched its consultancy business as a complement to its
technology offering and to enable our customers to gain the maximum
benefit from it.
The Group continues to benefit from its well established client
base with 80 customers resulting in strong recurring revenues.
Whilst new business remains a priority, the Group has significant
opportunity to upsell and cross sell within its customer base
enabling organic growth.
The Directors believe that the investment in the business over
the past two years has positioned itim for future growth, created
essential USPs in the market and broadened its offering with the
potential to increase revenues from new and existing customers.
As a result of this investment and in the Directors'
opinion:
1. itim is one of a few companies that can deliver a single
unified sales (commerce) platform to support omni-channel
retailers. Retailers no longer need to have separate platforms for
selling in stores (EPOS), or selling online (e-commerce), or
selling to B2B, or wholesale customers - itim can support all these
in one platform. This is seen as a significant USP for omni channel
retailing.
2. itim has enhanced its merchandising, stock management and
optimisation solutions, again to support retailers selling across
multiple channels. Numerous sales channels makes this much more
complex, which itim is well positioned to be able to address.
3. itim is a market leader in Price and Promotions optimisation
helping retailers increase cash generation, by either reducing the
markdowns and discounts they give away or improving recoveries from
suppliers through its advanced invoice matching, supplier funding
tracking and a supplier payments platform.
4. itim is a leader in improving digital supplier collaboration
through a series of portal applications built on its Electronic
Data Interchange history. This is coming to the fore due to the
rise in marketplaces.
The Board is resolutely focused on profitability and creating
shareholder value and is taking the necessary steps to reduce
investment in product, driving services revenues and returning the
business to cash generation. Whilst this will impact the rate of
subscription revenue growth it should result in higher margins and
increased profitability.
Finally, I would like to thank our employees and our partners
for the continued support they give to this business and the
commitment and faith they show that we will be a successful
business.

Notes to the Financial Information
1. General information
itim Group plc is a public limited Company ("Company")
incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006
(registration number 03486926). The Company is domiciled in the
United Kingdom and its registered address is 2(nd) Floor, Atlas
House, 173 Victoria Street, London SW1E 5NH. The Company's ordinary
shares are admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange ("AIM").
The Group's principal activities have been the provision of
technology solutions to help clients drive improvements in
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Group's interim report and accounts for the six months ended
30 June 2023 have been prepared using the recognition and
measurement principles of International Financial Reporting
Standards and Interpretations as endorsed by the European Union
(collectively "Adopted IFRS").
These interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for
Companies and should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, which have been
prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.
The interim report and accounts do not include all the information
and disclosures required in the annual financial statements.
The interim report and accounts have been prepared on the basis
of the accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation
as set out in the Group's December 2022 Annual Report and Accounts,
except for those that relate to new standards and interpretations
effective for the first time for periods beginning on (or after) 1
January 2023, and will be adopted in the 2023 annual financial
statements.
The interim report and accounts do not comprise statutory
accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act
2006. These interim financial statements were approved by the Board
of Directors on 22 September 2023. The results for the six months
to 30 June 2023 and the comparative results for the six months to
30 June 2022 are unaudited. The figures for the period ended 31
December 2022 are extracted from the audited statutory accounts of
the Group for that period.
The Directors believe that a combination of the Group's current
cash, projected revenues from existing and future contracts will
enable the Group to meet its obligations and to implement its
business plan in full. Inherently, there can be no certainty in
these matters, but the Directors believe that the Group's internal
trading forecasts are realistic and that the going concern basis of
preparation continues to be appropriate.
2. Earnings per share
Basic and diluted (loss)/earning per share is calculated by
dividing the (loss)/profit attributable to owners of the parent by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
period. For the avoidance of doubt the deferred shares have been
excluded as they have no rights to profits or capital. The
Company's share options have a dilutive effect over the two year
period.
