-- One acquisition completed in H1, with a further three subsequently completed including ITP, the UK leader in empty printer cartridge collection

Commenting on the results Charles Skinner, Chief Executive, said:

"We continued to make good operational and financial progress in the first half with records management, the key driver of Group performance, benefiting from strong organic box growth and the on-schedule integration of the Cintas business acquired last year. Our Relocations division traded well in what is traditionally its seasonally weaker first half, and continued to benefit from improved operational efficiencies and the expansion of our service offering.

We will continue to pursue our strategy of organic and acquisitive growth and we are well positioned to gain further market share across all of our businesses. We have taken swift action to improve the profitability of our scanning business, which includes the arrival of a new managing director with the acquisition of Crimson and the signing yesterday of a significant contract with NDA Archives. The recent addition of ITP, the UK's leading collector of empty printing cartridges, further enlarges the offering of our Relocations division to support its delivery of double-digit operating margins.

The second half has started well and we remain confident of making further progress in the remainder of 2015 to deliver a full year performance in line with current market expectations."

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW

SUMMARY

Restore continued to record strong growth in turnover and profit in the first half of 2015. Revenues were GBP43.9m, an increase of 43%, the majority of which derived from acquisitions made in 2014, most notably Cintas UK ("Cintas"). Adjusted profit before tax increased by 42% to GBP7.1m and adjusted earnings per share increased by 31% to 6.8p.

During the period, our Document Management division continued to trade satisfactorily overall, with adjusted operating profit of GBP7.4m (2014: GBP5.3m) on turnover of GBP27.7m (2014: GBP16.0m). The core records management business accounted for the majority of this and it remains the key driver of Group profits with secure revenues, good margins and steady growth. Net box growth in the core business, excluding the Cintas acquisition, continued to be strong. The restructuring and integration of the Cintas records management business was a major area of focus during the period, and this progressed in line with our expectations at the time of acquisition, with the business making its anticipated contribution to first half Group profits. Restore Shred continued to show organic growth and the integration of Cannon Confidential, acquired in June 2014, has now been completed. Restore Scan, which primarily comprises the old Cintas scanning business, experienced significant technical problems on its major seasonal contract in the first half. This led to cost over-runs and a significant underperformance against budget.

Our Relocations division traded well in the first half. The division's revenue in the period was GBP16.2m (2014: GBP14.6m) and adjusted operating profit was GBP1.2m (2014: GBP1.0m) in what is its seasonally weaker half. Harrow Green, which comprises the majority of the division's activities, traded satisfactorily and both Relocom and Restore IT Efficient showed year-on-year improvement.

During the period, the Group acquired Ancora Solutions, an Ipswich-based records management business. Subsequent to the end of the first half, three further acquisitions were made:

- ITP Group, the UK's leading empty printer cartridge collector, was acquired in July. This broadens the range of services we can offer our customers and fits closely with Restore IT Efficient

- Data Imaging and Archiving, predominantly a London-based records management business, was acquired in August

- Crimson, a scanning business based in Greater Manchester, was acquired in August. This not only brings a stable revenue stream into Restore Scan but will strengthen our scanning management team.

The Board has announced a 25% increase in interim dividend to 1.0p (2014: 0.8p), reflecting the strength of the Group's performance and prospects.

RESULTS

Adjusted operating profit for the six months to 30 June 2015 before exceptional items, amortisation and share based payments was GBP7.7m (2014: GBP5.4m). Adjusted profit before tax before exceptional items, amortisation, share based payments and other finance costs was GBP7.1m (2014: GBP5.0m) on sales of GBP43.9m (2014: GBP30.6m). Adjusted earnings per share for the period were 6.8p (2014: 5.2p).

On an unadjusted basis operating profit was GBP3.5m (2014: GBP3.7m) and profit before tax was GBP2.9m (2014: GBP3.3m). Unadjusted earnings per share were 2.9p (2014: 3.5p). Exceptional items in the period relating to acquisitions, including restructuring, redundancy and transaction costs, were GBP2.2m, primarily related to the Cintas UK acquisition; this is in line with expectations at the time of the acquisition. Details of exceptional items are set out in Note 2 below and include certain costs and a provision against potential costs on Restore Scan's major contract referred to above.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT

Our Document Management division primarily comprises the Restore records management business. It also offers shredding and scanning services through Restore Shred and Restore Scan, both of which have undergone significant change over the last year. All three businesses and the Relocations division share a similar customer base. A key factor in the development of the Group has been maintaining the same customer relationship management system for all of our businesses to ensure that all appropriate services that we supply are offered to all existing and potential customers across the Group.

For the period the division achieved an adjusted operating profit of GBP7.4m (2014: GBP5.3m) on turnover of GBP27.7m (2014: GBP16.0m). The decline in operating margin for the division reflected the lower proportion of revenue deriving from the higher margin records management activity.

Records Management

Our core records management business continued to trade well, with much of the operational focus being on the integration of Cintas's operations. Excluding Cintas, net box growth ran at an annualised rate of 8%, ahead of our expectations and the highest rate we have seen for several years. Both organic growth, defined as increase in box numbers from existing customers, and new sales, defined as box intake from new customers, were strong, while the level of permanent retrievals and box destructions were in line with expectations. As anticipated, the Cintas business showed limited growth due to a significant customer exit and low new box sales, reflecting its reduced sales activity in the period immediately prior to its acquisition.

The Cintas integration is now largely complete with the remaining element being the transfer of its IT systems onto the Restore IT system, which is scheduled for completion during the second half. Significant cost savings in line with expectations have been achieved and, as targeted, operating margins at Cintas are moving closer to those achieved in Restore's business. The costs of the integration, including redundancies, box movements to optimise property utilisation and short-term double-running costs, were as expected. As part of the integration, we have exited three sites in Manchester, Leeds and Tewkesbury. Capacity levels across the business are now in excess of 90 per cent.

The new district developed at our underground freehold site in Wiltshire has been steadily filling up and we are now proceeding with plans to develop another similar-sized district within the site to create additional capacity. Following the acquisition of Ancora in Ipswich at the beginning of the year, we now have a presence in East Anglia where we have recently leased three hardened aircraft shelters similar to those which we occupy in Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire; these are very suitable for records management both in terms of design and cost-efficiency.

We are well-established as the second largest records management business in the UK with revenues approximately twice those of the next largest operator. Records management is an attractive business with strong operating margins and earnings visibility, as well as high barriers to entry. Our business continues to represent an excellent platform for growth, particularly through acquisition where we have consistently achieved considerable cost synergies. We intend to continue to be active in consolidating the UK records management market.

Shredding

Restore Shred, our secure shredding and recycling business, operated profitably in the period. Following the acquisition of Cannon Confidential last year and the closure and transfer of work from sites in Worcestershire and South London, together with the implementation of a new IT system, it now has six sites across mainland Britain and the appropriate structure and critical mass to become a strong national operator. It has sufficient work to sustain this network but needs increased volumes to achieve industry-leading operating margins. We will continue to focus on delivering further increases in revenue, in large part from winning contracts with existing group customers.

Scanning

Restore Scan, our document scanning business, primarily comprises the former Cintas scanning business. It significantly underperformed against budget during the period. There were cost over-runs on its major seasonal contract, as well as significant technical problems which impacted other operations within Restore Scan. Excluding the major seasonal contract, the business has also experienced delays beyond our control in the execution of other major projects, resulting in cost inefficiencies.

Scanning forms a core part of our service offering and we are confident that, after some difficult months in the post-acquisition period of the Cintas scanning business, we can sharply improve the business's performance. As part of this process, the managing director of Crimson, the scanning business we acquired in August, has been appointed to manage Restore Scan. We are pleased to report also that, through Crimson, we have now signed a significant contract with NDA Archives Limited, a subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority ("NDA"), under which Crimson has been appointed as the commercial partner to set up and manage the UK's new Nuclear Archive. The contract is expected to generate annual scanning revenues in excess of GBP1m a year for the next five years, as well as generating opportunities with the NDA for other parts of our Group.

RELOCATIONS

Our Relocations division predominantly comprises Harrow Green, the UK market leader in office relocation. Global Moving Solutions, an international removal service typically servicing professional staff being relocated internationally, is part of Harrow Green. The division also includes Relocom, the IT relocation business in which we have an 83% shareholding, and Restore IT Efficient, our IT asset disposal and recycling business. The division also now includes ITP Group ("ITP"), the UK's leading empty printing cartridge collector, which was acquired in July. With the addition of ITP, the division now has a very strong offering which we believe should enable it to exceed our target divisional operating margin of 10 per cent.

During the period, which is the seasonally weaker half of the year for Harrow Green, the division recorded an adjusted operating profit of GBP1.2m (2014: GBP1.0m) on turnover of GBP16.2m (2014: GBP14.6m).

Harrow Green

Harrow Green traded well, with its performance in line with the strong comparative prior year period despite having fewer major projects in the first half. It operated profitably in every month of the period including January and February which have often been loss-making; this reflects the tight overhead control now in place and strong management of gross margins.

The London market remained busy and we saw a slight improvement in operating margins in what is a very competitive market. Our regional offices, including our most recently opened branch in Hampshire, all made a good contribution. The large multi-year contract for work with the Ministry of Defence which commenced in December last year is progressing smoothly, with volumes to date exceeding our initial estimates. The markets in which Harrow Green operates have remained generally strong and it continues to build on its UK market leadership.

Global Moving Solutions traded satisfactorily and in line with last year's performance.

Relocom

Relocom also traded well, with revenue and profit comfortably ahead of the prior year. The improved performance of the business has been assisted by the relocation of its head office to Restore IT Efficient's premises in Bedfordshire and its closer coordination with other parts of the Relocations division following Restore's acquisition of a majority stake in Relocom last year.

IT Asset Disposal

Restore IT Efficient increased revenue and profit margin on the same period last year. More detailed product tracking has been installed in the business so that we can understand the profitability of individual equipment collections and adjust charges accordingly. The business is working closely with the recently acquired ITP whose services also fit well with Relocom and Restore Shred.

GROUP

Central costs for the period were in line with last year and now represent approximately 2% of Group revenues.

BALANCE SHEET

Net bank debt on 30 June 2015 was GBP30.4m (30 June 2014: GBP22.2m). The increase reflects cost of acquisitions undertaken in the second half of 2014 of which Cintas was the largest. Net debt has fallen slightly in the first half of the year. Property, plant and equipment values increased as we continue to invest in new storage capacity in the records management business and equipment to service new contracts in the scanning business.

CASH FLOW

The net cash generated from operations before capital expenditure was GBP4.6m (2014: GBP2.5m). This includes an adverse working capital movement of GBP1.5m driven by the increase in trade and other receivables on the seasonal scanning contract which has been partially offset by an increase in trade and other payables. Capital expenditure totalled GBP2.5m (2014: GBP1.4m) compared to depreciation of GBP1.3m (2014: GBP0.8m). Net bank interest paid amounted to GBP0.5m (2014: GBP0.4m).

DIVIDENDS

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 1.0p per share (2014: 0.8p). The interim dividend will be paid on 13 November 2015 to shareholders on the register on 16 October 2015. The company paid its first dividend in 2012 and the increased interim dividend is in line with the Board's intention to follow a progressive dividend policy.

PEOPLE

Our Group has continued to increase in scale and now employs over 1,000 people. During the period we have reorganised our human resources operation with the appointment of a Group HR director to reflect the increased scale of the Group.

We are establishing ever stronger businesses which over time provide more opportunity and stability for our workforce. However, a business that has grown rapidly, particularly through acquisition, creates many challenges for its people with many managerial and operational roles undergoing changes in responsibility. I am delighted in how our people have adjusted to these changes and their commitment to the business. I thank all our people for their contribution to the Group's impressive performance and look forward to them sharing in the Group's continuing success.

The introduction of the national living wage is expected to have a limited impact on most of the Group's activities. Of those businesses where there could be an impact, much of Harrow Green's pricing has been based, with customers' consent, on the living wage and we expect that any implications for our cost base deriving from the change generally will be costed on to our customers. In Restore Scan, we also expect that prices will increase to cover the increase in cost of preparation of documents for scanning, although overseas outsourcing of data processing will inevitably become more attractive.

OUTLOOK

We will continue to pursue our strategy of organic and acquisitive growth and are we are well positioned to gain further market share across all of our businesses.

The second half has started well and we remain confident of making further progress in the remainder of 2015 to deliver a full year performance in line with current market expectations.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim report

For the six months ended 30 June 2015

   1             Basis of preparation 

The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the half year ended 30 June 2015 was approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 15 September 2015. The disclosed figures are not statutory accounts in terms of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014, on which the auditors gave an audit report which was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

This half-yearly report has been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies expected to be applied for the year ended 31 December 2015, and uses the same accounting policies and methods of computation applied for the year ended 31 December 2014.

There were no new relevant standards or interpretations to be adopted for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

All assets are located in the United Kingdom.

Acquisition related exceptional costs are GBP2.2m including restructuring and redundancy costs in Document Management of GBP1.8m and GBP0.1m in Relocations, GBP0.1m of acquisition transaction costs, GBP0.1m of box relocation and transport costs and other exceptional costs of GBP0.1m.

In addition to the acquisition related exceptional costs noted above the Group also incurred exceptional costs of GBP0.7m in relation to a particular scanning contract. The contract involves scanning exam papers primarily over a two month period in May and June each year. Due to technical issues during the process which had not occurred in previous years significant additional costs were required to deliver the contract. Further to the costs borne directly by the Group a provision has been made for cost recharges from the customer. Management believe the root cause of the technical issues has been identified which will enable the cost of delivering this contract in future periods to fall in line with patterns previously experienced. As a result the one off nature of these costs and their relative size they have been shown as exceptional to enable a better understanding of the underlying trading of the Group during the period.

For the six months ended 30 June 2014: GBP0.5m relates to restructuring and redundancy costs in Document Management of GBP0.4m and costs of acquisition of GBP0.1m.

In the year ended 31 December 2014, GBP3.1m of exceptional items were incurred (acquisition transaction costs, GBP0.4m, box relocation and associated costs, GBP0.4m, restructuring and redundancy costs, GBP2.5m, other GBP0.2m).

   3              Tax 

The underlying tax charge is based on the expected effective tax rate for the full year to 31 December 2015.

   4              Earnings per ordinary share 

Basic earnings per share have been calculated on the profit after tax for the period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

Deferred tax at 20% has been provided on the value of intangible assets. Acquisition costs of GBP10,000 were incurred and have been charged to profit or loss.

Changes of fair values

On 7 October 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Cintas UK Document Management Limited.

The Group continues the process of establishing the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, and as this assessment is inherently judgemental, the values included in the Interim Statement are provisional.

The provisional fair value table is as follows:

The key assumptions which remain provisional are the valuation of customer relationships and the over renting provision.

Included within provisions is an 'over-renting' provision which relates to the amount by which future lease rental commitments, arising as a result of acquisitions, exceed the fair market rentals. In calculating this provision the key estimates are those relating to the fair values of the rentals on the properties concerned, the impact of future rent reviews and the discount rate applicable.

Contingent consideration

On 2 March 2015, GBP200,000 was paid in respect of the second and final tranche of contingent consideration in respect of IT Efficient Limited.
