Interim Results

Prime People Plc ("Prime People" or the "Group"), a global group of specialist recruitment businesses operating in depth, across the Real Estate & Built Environment sectors, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2021.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Overview

Despite Covid-19 restrictions continuing for part of the period to 30 September 2021, in all of the markets in which the Group operates, I am pleased to report an improvement in trading, which we see as a combination of general market recovery and a backlog of client demand positively impacting performance.

The Group's cash collection has been robust and, consequently, the Board made the decision to accelerate repayment of GBP1m (50%) of the CBILS loan prior to the period end.

Financial Results

Group Revenues were GBP10.58m (H1 2021: GBP8.66m), up 22.2% compared to the prior year.

The Group's Net Fee Income ("NFI"), which is Management's key focus, increased to GBP7.36m (H1 2021: GBP5m), an increase of 47.2% over the prior year; NFI for the UK business was GBP3.36m (H1 2021: GBP2.15m). Our overseas performance was comprised of Asia NFI of GBP2.83m (H1 2021: GBP2.67m) and the Rest of World NFI GBP1.17m (H1 2021: GBP0.17m).

During the period contract NFI represented 4.0% of Group NFI (H1 2021: 7.12%).

Administrative costs for the Group in the period were GBP6.28m (H1 2021: GBP4.87m).

Profit before taxation amounted to GBP1.06m (H1 2021 GBP0.10m).

The charge for Group taxation of GBP0.20m (H1 2021: GBP0.02m) is based on the expected annual effective tax rate of 19% in the UK (H1 2021: 19%), 19% in Hong Kong (H1 2021: 16.50%), and 19% in Singapore (H1 2021: 17%).

Basic earnings per share for the period were 7.39p (H1 2021: 0.95p).

Cash Flow

At the start of the current financial year the Group had cash of GBP3.98m. At the period end the Group had available cash of GBP2.89m and net cash, after the CBILS loan, of GBP1.94m (H1 2021: GBP2.15m).

Dividend

The Board will not be declaring an interim dividend this year (H1 2021: Nil).

Outlook

Although our markets are not fully back to pre-pandemic levels, we are encouraged by the recovery we have experienced in the six month period to 30 September 2021. We believe that the Group is well positioned to respond quickly as markets strengthen, but we remain cautious, as any reimposition of Covid related restrictions are likely to be negative for our business.

Our cash position is sound, all Government taxes deferred due to Covid will be fully paid by January 2022 and we intend to redeem our remaining CBILS loan, which is now bearing interest.

Our management team and staff have adapted positively and quickly to the new operating backdrop necessitated by Covid, and we are looking forward to achieving long term positive returns for all our stakeholders.

The Group offers both permanent and contract specialist recruitment consultancy for large and medium sized organisations.

Prime People Plc is the Group's ultimate parent company. The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of Prime People Group's registered office and its principal place of business is 2 Harewood Place, London, W1S 1BX, England. Prime People Group's shares are quoted on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM"). The registered number of the Company is 1729887.

This unaudited condensed consolidated interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2021 (including comparatives) is presented in GBP '000 and was approved and authorised for issue on behalf of the Board of Directors on 18 November 2021.

Copies of the interim results are available at the Company's registered office and on the Company's website - www.prime-people.co.uk .

This unaudited condensed consolidated interim report does not constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the year ended 31 March 2021 has been extracted from the statutory accounts for that year, which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.

   2.     Basis of preparation 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2021 has been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") and in accordance with 'IAS 34, Interim financial reporting', in conformity with the requirement of the Companies Act. The condensed consolidated interim report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 which were prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

The Group was profitable for the period and has financial resources comprising GBP2.89m of net cash as at 30 September 2021. After making enquiries, the Directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the six months results, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed set of financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
