Half Year Results

Integrated Diagnostics Holdings Plc results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017

(London) Integrated Diagnostics Holdings ("IDH," "the Group," or "the Company"), IDHC on the London Stock Exchange, the largest fully integrated private-sector provider of medical diagnostics services in Egypt, Jordan and Sudan, announced today its results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017.

Commenting on the half-year performance and the Company's outlook, IDH Chairman Lord St John of Bletso said:

"IDH has again delivered strong operating results despite headwinds from Egypt's macroeconomic reform program that have challenged many consumer brands. This underscores the fundamental defensive nature of IDH. This operational performance reflects our commitment to maintaining high quality and service, our well-established and trusted brands, our scalable business model, as well as our continuous expansion of our branch network. Management remains focused on ensuring that IDH maintains its differentiated position from our competitors across its footprint. The Company is also evaluating opportunities to extend our market leadership through the expansion of our family of brands in both adjacent medical fields and in other geographies."

 

IDH Chief Executive Officer Dr. Hend El-Sherbini said:

"The ongoing operational and financial strength of our Group was demonstrated again with our 1H2017 results. Despite the expected negative effects of the inclusion of the holy month of Ramadan and subsequent holiday, we were able to grow revenue 24% and EBITDA 4%, all while increasing our footprint by 14% period-on-period to end the first half with a network of 369 branches across our geographies. I am proud to say that we have not only been able to execute on our growth strategies amidst ongoing macroeconomic crosscurrents, but that we have done so at a time when consumer brands have suffered significant challenges to both volumes and margins.

"Our 24% revenue growth breaks down as 11.6 percentage points from pricing and mix, 10 percentage points from the impact of translating the results of our non-Egyptian subsidiaries into Egyptian pounds, and 2.4 percentage points from growth in test volumes. Revenue grew in the first five months of 2017 at a pace faster than the inflation-driven rise in costs. That said, revenue in June 2017 was impacted by the seasonal slowdown for Ramadan, which pushed our EBITDA margin for the first half temporarily below the targeted 40%. With the return of sales growth following that period, we continue to target full-year 2017 revenue growth in excess of 20% for the full year and confirm our guidance for EBITDA margins at or above 40% as we move past the seasonal impact of Ramadan."

Financial & Operational Highlights

 

·     Revenues increased 24% period-on-period to EGP 685 million in 1H2017 driven by pricing and mix (11.6 percentage points); the favourable impact of foreign currency translation of results from its Jordanian and Sudanese subsidiaries into Egyptian pounds (10 ppt); and higher test volumes (2.4 ppt).

 

·     Gross profit rose 6% to EGP 318 million in 1H2017 versus EGP 300 million a year earlier, with an associated gross profit margin decline of c. 800 basis points (bp) to 46%. While the primary pressure point was higher raw material costs reflecting the negative impact of the November 2016 Egyptian pound devaluation, the lower margin also reflects the negative effects of the inclusion of Ramadan and the subsequent holiday in the period, as well as Egypt's decreased contribution to gross profit of 88% versus 93% a year ago.1

 

·     Operating profit was unchanged in 1H2017 from the same period a year ago at EGP 224 million, with an associated decrease in the operating margin to 33% from 41% on the same drivers as for gross profit.

 

·     EBITDA was 4% higher period-on-period in 1H2017 at EGP 255 million. The Group's EBITDA margin was c. 700 bps lower at 37%. This reflects in part a seasonal effect, as lower sales in June due to the full impact of Ramadan and the subsequent holiday (compared to 2016) temporarily slowed down the revenue growth momentum. Cost increases took place in parallel driven by a combination of higher raw material costs and higher rent and utilities expenses associated with branch expansion. The result was a decline in contribution to consolidated EBITDA by the Egyptian operations.1

 

·     The net foreign exchange loss amounted to EGP 7.8 million in 1H2017 and was largely related to the revaluation of supplier balances. Notably, the 1H2017 loss was substantially lower than the EGP 31.3 million recorded in the same period a year ago.

 

·     Interest expense stood at EGP 8.5 million at the end of 1H2017 and was mostly related to finance lease contracts. Interest expense was more than offset by interest income amounting to EGP 18.1 million, mainly generated from time deposits and treasury bills.

 

·     Net profit increased 26% to EGP 160 million in 1H2017, with an associated net profit margin of 23%.

 

·     Total tests increased 2.4% period-on-period to 12 million, and total patients served rose 4% to 2.9 million.

 

·     While the average number of tests-per-patient declined slightly to 4.1, average revenue-per-patient rose 19% and average revenue-per-test rose 21%, indicative of the Group's ability to raise prices despite persistently high inflation in its home market of Egypt as well as the effect of translating revenues outside Egypt into Egyptian pounds.

 

·     Affirming guidance for the full 2017 year, IDH continues to target revenue growth in excess of 20%, as well as EBITDA margins at or above 40%. EBITDA margin was under pressure in 1H2017 owing predominantly to a temporary sales slowdown in June 2017as a result of Ramadan and the subsequent holiday, which accordingly did not offset higher fixed costs as noted above.

 

1 Egypt is the highest-margin territory across the Group's footprint.

Chief Executive Officer's Report

I'm very pleased to report that the Group was able to deliver results that clearly demonstrate the ongoing operational and financial strength of our company in 1H2017. The stability in our volumes sold and our ability to increase prices reflect both the strength of our brands and the defensive nature of our industry, which has provided us with some insulation from the trend of declining volumes experienced by consumer brands in Egypt, our largest market.

The business is also very well-positioned to weather the impact of recent economic reforms including a temporary 200 bps interest rate hike and increasing costs of fuel, electricity and water. A strong cash management strategy has allowed us to record substantial interest income that far outweighed interest expenses. This strategy and a sharp decline in foreign exchange losses have allowed us to deliver a strong improvement in our bottom line in the first half.

Against this backdrop, it is noteworthy that second-quarter, and thus first-half, results were negatively impacted by the inclusion of the holy month of Ramadan and subsequent holiday in all countries in which the Company operates. That said, we were still able to grow revenues 24% and EBITDA 4% in the period.

The EBITDA margin came under pressure primarily due to higher raw material costs (with some expansion-related expenses also a factor); a large portion of these costs is fixed and their impact was accordingly exaggerated by additional days of Ramadan and the subsequent holiday falling in the second quarter of 2017 compared to last year. We continued to invest in increasing our geographic footprint in 1H2017 with the addition of 45 net new laboratories Group-wide, which translated into 14% period-on-period unit growth to end the period with a network of 369 branches across our geographies. 

Our brands are strong, equating to quality and safety in our consumers' minds. We have long-standing solid relationships with our suppliers, being their largest customer in the region. And because we have developed an asset-light business model, our branch expansion has progressed on plan. As we've been weathering this storm caused by uncertain macroeconomics, we've continued to grow patient and test volumes, open new branch laboratories, and drive revenues and EBITDA. All this puts IDH in an even stronger competitive position going forward to capture incremental share of our diagnostics markets as Egypt's economic prospects improve.

Finally, I note that our revenue grew in the first five months of 2017 at a pace faster than the inflation-driven rise in costs. That said, revenue in June 2017 was impacted by the seasonal slowdown for Ramadan, which pushed our EBITDA margin for the first half temporarily below the targeted 40%. With the return of sales growth following that period, we continue to target full-year 2017 revenue growth in excess of 20% for the full year and confirm our guidance for EBITDA margins at or above 40% as we move past the seasonal impact of Ramadan.

I am honoured to lead our company and look forward to reporting our progress to you in the balance of the 2017 year.

Dr. Hend El Sherbini, Chief Executive Officer

Operational & Financial Review

 

IDH delivered a strong operational and financial performance in 1H2017 against the backdrop of continuing macroeconomic challenges in its home market of Egypt, with inflation remaining high following the float of the Egyptian pound in November 2016.

 

It is noteworthy that second-quarter and first-half results were hurt by the holy month of Ramadan and the subsequent holiday falling predominantly in June. As consumer behaviour shifted from normal patterns to Ramadan schedules in all of the countries in which the Company operates, it was not surprising that patient and test volumes, and consequently revenues and margins, came under significant pressure during the month. Importantly, monthly operating trends had been consistently strong from January through May. Thus, beyond the Ramadan impact that was expected, reported results do not reflect any fundamental changes in the Group's business.

 

That said - despite both the ongoing difficult economic environment in Egypt and the negative impact Group-wide of the inclusion of Ramadan - IDH was able to report strong results for 1H2017. The Group's top line was driven by a combination of better pricing (42% of total revenue growth); the favourable impact of foreign currency translation of results from its Jordanian and Sudanese subsidiaries into Egyptian pounds (41% of total revenue growth); and higher test volumes (17% of total revenue growth). The decline in margins comes as lower revenues due to the additional days of Ramadan and the subsequent holiday in this year's reporting period compared to last was accompanied by expense pressure from higher raw material costs; the currency translation of Jordanian salaries into Egyptian pounds; higher rent and utility costs related to branch expansion; and higher interest expense.

 

IDH continued to invest in expanding its geographic footprint during 1H2017, with its total branch network reaching 369 by the end of 1H2017, up 15 branches (or 4%) from the end of 2016. At the end of the period, there were 327 branches in Egypt (+10 from 31 December 2016); 17 branches in Jordan (+3 from 31 December 2016); and 25 branches in Sudan (+2 from 31 December 2016). Importantly, the Group's expansion program is supported by its state-of-the-art Mega Lab with excess capacity that enables IDH to deploy its Hub, Spoke and Spike business model to open capital-efficient "C" labs more rapidly.

Egypt, IDH's home market, contributed 82% of total revenues at EGP 560 million in 1H2017, down from 89% in 1H2016 primarily due to the currency translation impact of the Company's Jordanian business. This currency translation effect also underpinned Jordan's 131% revenue increase to EGP 102 million, representing 15% of total-company revenues in 1H2017 versus 8% in the year-earlier period. Sudan's revenues at EGP 23 million accounted for 3% of total revenues in both 1H2017 and 1H2016.

Egypt's 1H2017 revenues increased 14% period-on-period to EGP 560 million, which included gains of 10% and 16% in the walk-in and contract patient categories, respectively. This revenue growth benefited from price increases of 10% for walk-in patients and 11% for contract patients in the period; notably in May, prices were raised an additional 5% in the Cairo Governorate. While the number of total patients rose 3%, total test volumes approximated a year ago. In terms of patient mix, a 5% advance in contract patients more than offset a 5% decline in the smaller walk-in patient category. Regarding test volumes, a 3% drop in walk-in patient tests basically offset a 1% uptick in contract patient tests. To help stem the decline in walk-in patients, the Group offered more affordable payment methods on selected tests; launched tactical advertising campaigns raising awareness of chronic disease; and implemented new customer relationship management (CRM) programs that reached out to patients with marketing messages via SMS, among other steps.

Revenue from operations in Jordan rose 11% in JOD terms and increased 131% when translated into Egyptian pounds. The subsidiary performed well, achieving strong growth as total patients grew 7.7% and total tests were 9% higher. Sudan's 52% revenue increase (in SDG terms) was underpinned by continued strong growth in both patient and test volumes thanks to the newly signed corporate contracts.

Our Customers

 

IDH serves two principal types of clients: contract (corporate) and walk-in (individuals). Within each of these categories, the Group also offers a house call service; and within the contract segment, a lab-to-lab service.

 

Contract Clients

 

IDH's contract clients, who in 1H2017 represented 61% of total revenues, include institutions such as unions, private insurance companies and corporations who enter into one-year renewable contracts at agreed rates per-test and on a per-client basis. During 1H2017, the Company served 2.2 million patients under these contracts and performed a total of 9.3 million tests, with no single contract client accounting for more than 1.3% of revenues.

 

Walk-in Clients

 

The Group derived 39% of its revenues in 1H2017 from walk-in clients. Walk-in clients numbered 0.8 million in 1H2017 and received 2.7 million tests. As IDH's markets develop and become increasingly institutionally-oriented, more patients will be having pathology tests performed under corporate agreements. With the best economies of scale in the Egyptian diagnostics industry, this is a trend that plays to the Company's strength.

 

The ratio of contract to walk-in patients during 1H2017 was 74:26 compared with 72:28 in 1H2016, in sync with the general shift in patient mix in recent years toward an increasing number of patients served on corporate contracts. This reflects the natural market dynamics in Egypt, as companies are extending additional benefits to their staffs. The trend has been encouraged by continued high inflation, which is eroding consumer spending power and thus putting incremental pressure on corporations to provide either health insurance or corporate plans.

 

 

 

Revenue Analysis

 

Consolidated revenues increased 24% period-on-period to EGP 685 million in 1H2017, underpinned by the Company's strong brand equity - synonymous with quality and safety - as well as its highly-focused marketing strategies. While growth in patients and tests was 4% and 2%, respectively, the top line was driven more by selected price increases and geographic breakdown of revenue contributions. This can be seen in the key metrics of average revenue-per-patient, up 19%; and average revenue-per-test, 21% higher.

 

Revenues from contract clients grew 25% to EGP 419 million in 1H2017, supported by an overall trend toward corporate health insurance coverage, especially in IDH's home market of Egypt. While the number of contract patients was up only 7% and the number of contract tests was just 2% higher, revenue-per-patient increased 17% and revenue-per-test gained 23% on better pricing and mix. The number of contract tests-per-patient actually declined 5%, and given its heavier weighting, more than offset an 8% gain in tests-per-patient in the walk-in category. Thus, total tests-per-patient were 2% lower in the period, further demonstrating IDH's ability to drive revenues in a difficult economic environment through a combination of selected price increases and improved test mix.

 

Revenues from walk-in clients rose 22% to EGP 266 million in 1H2017, even though patient numbers declined 4% and test volumes gained only 4%. In part, this represents consumer migration toward corporate healthcare agreements, a trend that is expected to continue. Also, the most vulnerable consumers continue to curb their spending in reaction to persistent high inflation associated with the devaluation of the Egyptian pound. That said, the Company was been able to achieve a 28% gain in revenue-per-patient; and on 8% more tests-per-patient, an 18% upturn in revenue-per-test in the walk-in category, helped by highly-focused tactical marketing campaigns. 

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of goods increased 45% in 1H2017 to EGP 367 million. The associated gross margin decline was c. 800 bps to 46% from 54% a year earlier driven by a decline in gross profit contribution from Egypt, which has the Group's highest gross margin, to 88% from 93% a year earlier. The primary pressure point was higher raw material cost, reflecting the negative effect of the November 2016 devaluation of the Egyptian pound. Chemicals and Supplies was the largest component of COGS in 1H2017, representing 38% of total (1H2016: 33%).

 

Wages and Salaries, the second-largest component of COGS at 31% of total (1H2016: 33%), increased 17%.

 

·     Annual staff salary raises and new hires for new branches opened resulted in a net increase of EGP 21.6 million in 1H2017 versus 1H2016;

·     Lower profit share entitlement for Egyptian operations in the period resulted in a decrease of EGP 4.9 million.

 

Total depreciation was 49% higher period-on-period in 1H2017 at EGP 31 million, as capital expenditures grew to EGP 102 million during the period. Capital expenditures are mainly related to the Group's new headquarters building, new branches, new warehouse and leasehold improvements for existing branches as well as software for Mega Lab.

 

Other costs increased 55% on the back of the Group's branch expansion program, as rental expenses rose with 14% unit growth to 369 laboratories at the end of 1H2017 compared with 324 a year earlier. Additional pressure points on Other Costs included utilities' expenses, especially electricity.

 

EBITDA

 

EBITDA increased 4% to EGP 255 million in 1H2017 versus EGP 245 million a year earlier. The associated EBITDA margin declined c. 700 bp to 37% compared with 44% a year earlier primarily due to temporary slower revenue growth in June 2017 as well as higher raw materials prices (c. 600 bp), while expansion-related rent and utilities expenses (c.100 bp) were also pressure points. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues at 14% approximated a year ago, mostly reflecting lower consultancy fees.

 

The Company's Egyptian operations contributed 90% of consolidated EBITDA in 1H2017 down from 95% in the year-earlier period2, mainly as Jordan's contribution rose to 7% from 3% on favourable currency translation. Sudan contributed 3% of consolidated EBITDA, up from 2% a year ago.

 

2 Egypt is the highest-margin territory across the group's footprint.

 

Interest Income / Expense

 

IDH recorded interest income of EGP 18 million versus EGP 10 million a year ago. Along with proper cash management, higher time deposit rates offered by Egyptian banks this year than last were the main reason.

 

Interest expense, which is primarily related to the Company's finance lease contracts, increased by approximately EGP 4.9 million (from EGP 3.6 million in 1H2016 to EGP 8.5 million), on the back of a suppliers' US$-denominated finance lease contract.

 

Foreign Exchange

 

In 1H2017, IDH's foreign exchange loss amounted to EGP 7.8 million, largely related to revaluation of supplier balances. The loss this year was substantially below the EGP 31.3 million loss recorded a year ago.

 

Taxation

 

Current income tax expenses recorded in 1H2017 were EGP 51 million compared with EGP 63 million in 1H2016, with an effective tax rate of 23% versus 32% a year ago, thanks to the substantial decrease in forex losses recorded by the Egyptian subsidiaries. It is noteworthy that most of the forex losses were not tax deductible items. There are no taxes payable at the holding company level. All tax is paid within the operating companies in Egypt, Jordan and Sudan.

 

The Group's dividend policy is to distribute any excess cash after taking into consideration all business cash requirements and potential acquisition considerations. As a result, a deferred tax liability is recognised for the 5% tax on dividends for the future expected distribution payable by Egyptian entities under Egyptian tax legislation. Deferred tax in 1H2017 was EGP 15 million expense versus an expense of EGP 10 million in the same period a year earlier.

 

Net Profit      

 

Net profit increased 26% period-on-period to EGP 160 million, with an associated net margin of 23%. Net profit growth came thanks to effective cash management generating interest income that offset higher interest expenses incurred due to Central Bank of Egypt policy rate hikes in Egypt, as well as a sharp period-on-period decline in foreign exchange losses due to relative exchange rate stability in Egypt.

 

Balance Sheet

On the assets side of the balance sheet, accounts receivable stood at EGP 112 million at the end of 1H2017 compared with EGP 107 million at 2016 year end. Notably, IDH adopted a new collections process that successfully reduced days-on-hand (DOH) to 114 days at 30 June 2017 from 133 days at 31 December 2016. In Egypt, accounts receivable DOH days dropped to 108 days from 116 days for the same periods.

 

Despite the increase in inventory balance from EGP 51.7 million as at 31 December 2016 to EGP 77.5 million at 30 June 2017, inventory days decreased from 85 to 83 days as management decided to decrease safety stock levels due to improved availability of goods in the Egyptian market, especially after banks began providing hard currency to cover imports.

 

On the liabilities side, accounts payable stood at EGP 166 million versus EGP 126 million at year end 2016. The Group's days payable outstanding (DPO) increased to 188 days at 30 June 2017 from 181 days at 31 December 2016 primarily due to raw material price increases and new credit arrangements with suppliers, especially Siemens and Roche, under which payment terms were extended. 

 

The decline in IDH's USD cash balance to US$ 8 million at 30 June 2017 from US$ 29 million at 2016 year end reflects dividend payments made in June amounting to US$ 21 million. This relative level of US dollars in IDH's cash balance will continue going forward under management's new cash management strategy, which reflects the ready availability of US dollars in the Egyptian banking system and the Central Bank of Egypt's enforcement of a high-interest-rate environment.

 

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

As in any corporation, IDH has exposure to risks and uncertainties that may adversely affect its performance. The Board and senior management agree that the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group include political and economic situation in Egypt and the Middle East, foreign currency supply and associated risks, changes in regulation and regulatory actions, damage to the Group's reputation, failure to maintain the Group's high quality standards and accreditations, failure to maintain good relationships with health care professionals and end-users, pricing pressures and business interruption of the Group's testing facilities, among others.

Going Concern

 

The directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed financial statements. The Group's Financial Statements for the half year ended 30 June 2016 are available on the Group's website at www.idhcorp.com. 

 

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

 

Responsibility statement of the directors in respect of the half-yearly financial report

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:

 

·     The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU;

 

·     The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by:

 

(a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and

 

(b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last annual report that could do so.

 

For and on behalf of the Board of Directors:

Independent Review Report to Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc

 

Conclusion 

 

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2017 which comprises condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position, Condensed consolidated interim income statements, Condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, Condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity, Condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows and the related explanatory notes. 

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2017 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA").   

 

Scope of review 

 

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the UK.  A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.  We read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements. 

 

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.  Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Directors' responsibilities 

 

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors.  The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA. 

 

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.  The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed set of financial statements included in the half-yearly financial report in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the EU

 

Our responsibility 

 

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review. 

 

The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

 

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA.  Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc "IDH" or "the Company" is a Company which was incorporated in Jersey on 4 December 2015 and established according to the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 under Registered No. 117257.  These condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2017 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred as the 'Group').

The Group's main activity is concentrated in the field of medical diagnostics.

The Group's financial year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December each year.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Directors of the Company on 21 August 2017.

 

2. Basis of preparation

A.   Statement of compliance

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' (as adopted by the EU).

They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements as adopted by European Union ("IFRS-EU"), and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements published as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016 which is available at www.idhcorp.com 

 

B.  Going concern

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. At 30 June 2017, the Group had net assets amounting to EGP 2,081,841K.

 The Group is profitable and cash generative and the Directors have considered the Group's cash forecasts for a period of 12 months from the signing of the balance sheet. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial information.

 

C.  Basis of measurement

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except where adopted IFRS mandates that fair value accounting is required.

 

 

 

Basis of preparation (continued)

 

D.  Functional and presentation currency

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements and financial information are presented in Egyptian Pounds (EGP'000). The functional currency of the majority of the Group's entities is the Egyptian Pound (EGP) and is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates.

 

 

 

E.   Use of estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There are no material changes in management judgments, estimates and assumptions during the six months' period ended 30 June 2017 from those applied in the audited consolidated financial statements published as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016.

 

 

3. Significant accounting policies

 

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the audited consolidated financial statements published as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016.

These audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.

 

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

 

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective for the six months ended 30 June 2017 have not been applied in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

As a provider of medical diagnostic services, IDH's operations in Sudan are not subject to sanctions. However International banks are very cautious in carrying out transactions with any Sudanese business and so while there are no actual restrictions on the payment of dividends and remittance of cash from the Sudanese subsidiary in practice, there is no opportunity to enable payments of dividends from Sudan to Egypt. The amount of undistributed reserves held in Sudanese subsidiaries is not significant to the Group's total capital management and the total reserves that could be distributed from Sudan is EGP 891K and the total cash held in Sudan is EGP 14,862K. No funds will be remitted from until such a time as the sanctions imposed on Sudan are clarified or released.

Through the historic acquisitions of Makhbariyoun Al Arab the Group entered into a put option arrangement to purchase the remaining equity interests from the vendors at a subsequent date. The options are exercisable in whole from the fifth anniversary of completion of the original purchase agreement falling due in June 2016. A put option liability has been recognised for the net present value for the exercise price of the option. The vendor has not exercised this right at 30 Jun 2017.

 

 

11. Loan and borrowings

In April 2017 Al Mokhtabar for medical lab, one of IDH subsidiaries, was granted a medium term loan amounting to EGP 110m from Commercial international bank "CIB Egypt" to finance the purchase of the new administrative building for the group. As at 30 June 2017 only EGP 53m had been drawn down from the total facility available. The loan contains the following financial covenants which if breached will mean the loan is repayable on demand:

The group operates in three geographic areas, Egypt, Sudan and Jordan. Each area offers similar services and the KPIs of each are viewed to be the same and they are not viewed as individual operating segments. The revenue split between the three regions is set out below.
