GDV growth strong - up 209%
driven by Sentenial acquisition
and growth in all segments;
Revenue growth strong - up 20% on
PCP with growth from all segments;
Gross Profit of $75.4m', up 12% on
PCP, with GP margin of 66% down on
PCP by 5%. GP impacted in H1 by a drop
of $2.7m in net interest income relative to
PCP, or a 4% impact on GP margin;
Underlying Overheads growth of $9.3m², up
24% on PCP impacted by additional resources
to support the CBI remediation, insurance and
audit cost increases and the consolidation of
Sentenial for 3 months from October 2021;
-
The surge in Omicron in late November
led to social distancing restrictions being
introduced in December in certain key markets
for our G&l segment, particularly Canada,
Germany and the UK. We saw volumes in these
markets impacted in the key seasonal period,
impacting G&l volumes in H1. Despite this,
G&I recorded record H1 GDV at $0.9bn;
Expect 2H improvement - A number of
initiatives have been completed or are
underway that will deliver benefits to H2 FY2022
performance;
We remain in line with our guidance
expectations as H2 FY2022 will benefit from
improved trading conditions, including:
- improved interest revenue with further investments in
bonds and the benefit of 40bps improvement in the
GBP cash rate (+15bps in Dec 21 and +25bps Feb 22);
- improved economics on revised commercial
agreements with our schemes;
introduction of new inactive account maintenance
fees on European GPR programs is expected to
result in a recurring revenue stream and a non-
recurring catch up for historical programs;
commenced launching new European programs
in December as CBI licence restrictions eased:
-
Provided $10.5m for highly likely future
legal costs in relation to the Group
proceedings brought by Shine Lawyers,
which we intend to vigorously defend. We
will be seeking a Court order for security
over these costs. We have an insurance
policy which we expect to cover this
event, subject to a deductible element,
however this asset cannot be recognised
until it is considered virtually certain.
