DXS International plc : Half-yearly report


DXS INTERNATIONAL PLC

INTERIM RESULTS

The Board of DXS International Plc ("DXS" or the "Company"), the ISDX quoted developer and supplier of clinical decision support systems to Clinical Commissioning Groups, GPs, doctors and healthcare professionals, is pleased to announce its Interim Results for the 6 months ended 31 October 2015.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Revenues increased by 31% to £1.52m (2014 £1.16m)
  • Profit increased by £92,000 to £54,000 (2014 Loss £38,000)
  • Earnings per share increased to 0.2p (2014 Loss 0.1p) per share
  • Current run rate is £3.4m p.a. - an increase of 25% on year ending April 2015
  • DXS has now signed 37 CCGs

The six months results reflect the team's efforts to produce positive results and has seen the Company extending its reach into the UK primary care market.  We now have 37 CCG clients which is an increase of 8 from the same period in 2014. We have a strong forward looking pipeline as we continue with our program of aggressive sales and marketing to the sector, underpinned by a high quality of service delivery.

The significant increase in staff and systems required to comply with the NHS conditions of GPSoc has now tapered off and the Board expects future cost increases will be required only for servicing increases in client numbers and new projects. The Company's trading is cashflow positive and comfortably within its facility limits.

As the NHS continues to seek ways of curbing ever increasing costs - for example in 2017 it is estimated that an additional one million UK residents will fall into the 70+ age category - DXS is strategically positioned to capitalise on the emerging and innovative cost saving and care improvement initiatives within the UK.

We look forward to reporting on our further progress in due course.

CEO
