1Spatial plc (AIM: SPA)
(“1Spatial”, the “Group” or the “Company”)
Interim Results for the six month period ended 31 July 2017
Turnaround delivering improved results
The Board of Directors of 1Spatial (the ‘‘Board’’), the software solutions provider and global leader in geospatial data management, is pleased to announce the Group’s interim results for the six month period ended 31 July 2017. Highlights
In January 2017, the new management team set in place a clear plan to achieve a strong financial
and operational platform for the business which would be evidenced through the generation of cash,
growing profits and sustainable growth.
The financial performance in this half year provides clear evidence that the turnaround plan is
working.
Financial highlights
Revenues grew by 2% from £11.9m to £12.1m o High-margin Geospatial underlying revenues** up by 19% from £7.2m to £8.6m o In line with strategy, the low-margin hardware revenues from IT managed services
business have reduced by £1m in the period o Continued strong recurring revenues base
Total cost base (including capitalised costs) reduced by 8% (£1.1m). This equates to an annualised cost saving of £2.2m.
Gross profit margin increased from 39% to 43%
Adjusted EBITDA* on a like-for-like basis1 has improved from a loss of £0.4m to a profit of £0.3m
Operating loss reduced 37% from £1.9m to £1.2m
£2.7m positive swing in cash flow in the period (outflow of £0.3m compared to an outflow of £3m in H1 2016/17)
o Net cash balance at 31 July 2017 of £0.3m (31 January 2017: £0.6m) o Overdraft facility of £3m renewed in May 2017
Significantly reduced loss after tax of £1.4m (year ended 31 January 2017: £18.3m loss: H1 2016/17 loss of £2.1m)
The board believes that that the current bank overdraft facility is sufficient to support the Company’s working capital requirements
Operational highlights
Sales increased in all geographic segments with a focus on three key sectors of Land Management, Utilities and Transportation
o The enhanced sales strategy refocused on the key sectors has delivered growth from existing clients as well as established relationships with new potential customers
Key customer wins: o UK – major contract with Northern Gas Networks (NGN). This will run for an initial three
year period with an option to extend for a further three years o US – strategically important contract with the US Federal Highways Administration
(FHWA) for software and services together with ongoing support and maintenance for four option years (total value US$540k)
o US – strategically important contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for software and services together with ongoing support and maintenance for four option years (total value US$207k)
Portfolio streamlined with: o Disposal of significant share of loss-making business Enables IT Inc. in March 2017 for
£0.1m receivable o Acquisition of the remaining 27% of the Company’s exclusive US distributor 1Spatial Inc.
strengthening the Group’s ability to serve key US customers and partners such as US Census and ESRI
o Acquisition of the remaining 51% of Sitemap, strengthening the Group’s technology platform
Board changes
The board has continued to be strengthened and includes the following changes : o Francis Small appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 1 August 2017 o Claire Milverton appointed CEO from 9 October 2017 o Nicole Payne appointed CFO from 9 October 2017
Commenting on the results 1Spatial CEO, Claire Milverton, said:
"The first half has shown considerable progress on our turnaround strategy. The focus on execution,
and a greater engagement with our existing clients has seen an increase in revenues. Emphasis on
growing our client base has also seen wins with a number of exciting new clients such as Northern
Gas Networks and the Federal Highways Agency. From a financial perspective through increased
sales and operational effectiveness we’ve also delivered a substantial improvement in profitability
and cash flow, both of which remain key priorities for us going forward.
We are confident for the full year and that through our strategy of working in partnership with our
customers to provide them with technology enabled innovative solutions, we are well placed to grow
a substantial, profitable and cash-generative business out into the future”.
* Adjusted for strategic, integration, other one-off items and share-based payment charge ** Underlying revenue – revenue on a like-for-like
1 basis, at constant currency (prior period figures at current period exchange
rates) 1 Like-for-like – prior half year revenues include £0.4m of revenues arising from recharges to associates, that are not recurring
in the current half year as a result of these associates now being wholly-owned and the revenue being eliminated on consolidation

Half-year review
In January 2017, the new management team set in place a clear plan to achieve a strong financial
and operational platform for the business which would be evidenced through cash, growing profits
and sustainable growth. This plan was the result of a full strategic review to develop a clear focus for
the Group going forwards and included streamlining the business into two core units, the alignment of
the Group to better meet market needs, and creation of an organisational structure that provides clear
responsibilities and accountability.
The financial performance in this half year provides clear evidence that the turnaround plan is
working.
Our strategy
1Spatial is a software solutions provider and global leader in managing geospatial data. We work with
our clients to deliver real value by making data current, complete and consistent through the use of
automated processes; ensuring that decisions are always based on the highest quality information
available. Our own software architectures are ‘Open’ which allows us to integrate with other vendors’
technology and enables us to provide the most appropriate solution to our clients.
Our key focus is across three sectors, namely Land Management, Utilities and Transportation and we
operate globally but have offices in the UK, US, France, Belgium, Ireland and Australia.
During the period, we have continued to develop and deliver our world-class technology, increase our
market reach and cemented strategic relationships with key partners to ensure that we deliver the
right solutions to our clients. We have continued to invest in sales and marketing ensuring that these
investments are aligned to our strategy.
Financial performance
Revenue growth
Our enhanced sales team helped deliver revenue growth in all geographies, and, the quality of this
revenue has improved with a higher proportion of licence revenue driving additional service revenues.
The Group’s revenue mix continued to improve in the first half. Revenues were up 19 per cent. in the
higher-margin Geospatial business (£1.3m on a like-for-like basis, at constant currency), and Enables
IT sales reduced by £1m as we chose to move away from lower-margin hardware revenue.
Our sales strategy focuses on both growing existing accounts, and building new relationships across
our key verticals; Land Management, Utilities and Transport. During the period, the majority of growth
in revenue was derived from existing customers. Post period end, new contracts have been secured
for new customers such as NGN (UK), FHWA (US), NOAA (US), reflecting the sales execution efforts
made in the first half.
As well as growing revenues, it is also key that we maintain our recurring support and maintenance
revenues; initiatives have been put in place during the period to ensure this is achieved.
Cost savings
During the period, we have delivered on our plan to reduce costs by £1.1m (8 per cent.) – this
equates to £2.2m annualised costs. These costs also include the cost of capitalised development.
We now believe that the cost structure is much better aligned with the current business needs.
Gross profit
Gross profit in the period improved from 39 per cent. to 43 per cent. even after significantly less direct
costs were capitalised, in the period (£0.5m compared to £1.9m in H1 2016/17). This improvement is
due to better project management on professional service contracts and increased high-margin
software sales in the period.
Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow
The actions to grow quality revenues and reduce costs resulted in a transition from an adjusted EBITDA loss (on a like-for-like basis) of £0.4m in the prior period to a profit of £0.3m. This has also resulted in a positive impact on cash, with a cash inflow from operations of £0.2m (after cash one-off costs of £0.5m) compared with a cash outflow from operations in the prior period of £0.9m. Overall net cash flow has shown a £2.7m positive swing year-on-year (outflow of £0.3m compared to an outflow of £3m in H1 2016/17). The net cash balance at 31 July 2017 was £0.3m (31 January 2017: £0.6m). The overdraft facility of £3m was renewed in May 2017. Loss for the period Loss after tax of £1.4m for the period is significantly reduced (year ended 31 January 2017: £18.3m loss, H1 2016/17 loss: £2.1m). This loss is the adjusted EBITDA figure less depreciation, amortisation and impairment, strategic, integration, other one-off items, share-based payment charges, net finance costs and income tax.
Balance sheet
The net asset position at 31 July 2017 is £8.5m, down from £9.2m at 31 January 2017. The balance
of non-current assets remains the same at £13.0m as a result of acquiring control of Sitemap Ltd in
the period (£0.2m intangibles on acquisition), net of amortisation of existing intangible assets. No
further goodwill arises on acquisition of the final 27 per cent. of 1Spatial Inc. Net current assets are
down by £0.8m, £0.3m of this is cash and the remainder is working capital. The line item “other
components of equity” arose on the acquisition of the final 27 per cent. of 1Spatial Inc. after
eliminating non-controlling interest.
Outlook
The key objective for the management team for the remainder of the year to 31 January 2018 is to
ensure that the Group’s realigned focus and revised strategy continues to drive cash generation and
profitable adjusted EBITDA, as well as follow through on key strategic initiatives which will boost
revenue growth.
The second half of the year has started well and whilst there are always challenges in any business
and in particular during a turnaround year, we are confident of meeting full year expectations.
Looking forward
1Spatial is well-positioned in a fast-growing part of the market and has developed a unique patented technology to deliver targeted solutions to our existing and potential customers.
A May 2017 report by market analyst P&S Market Research estimates the size of the global GIS software, services and hardware market at $9.0bn and forecasts that it will grow at a 10.1 per cent. CAGR to reach $17.5bn by 2023. To ensure that we are positioned at the forefront of this sector, we continue to invest in our technology platform and make it accessible to other vendors - a key element of our strategy for scalable revenue growth to reach a growing addressable market.
We have a strong and focussed management team, which combined with our in-depth subject matter
expertise and technology-led solutions and services, gives the business the opportunity to develop
into a significant force in the market.
Looking ahead, we are well placed to grow a substantial, profitable and cash-generative business
over the long term.

The address of the registered office is Tennyson House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WZ. The registered number of the Company is 5429800. The principal activity of the Group is the development and sale of IT software along with related consultancy and support. The principal activity of the Company is that of a parent holding company which manages the Group’s strategic direction and under lying subsidiaries.
2. Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 31 July 2017, has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies that are expected to be adopted in the Group’s full financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2018 and are not expected to be significantly different to those set out in the Group’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2017. The financial information for the half years ended 31 July 2017 and 31 July 2016 is neither audited nor reviewed and does not
constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 for 1Spatial plc or for
any of the entities comprising the 1Spatial Group. Statutory financial statements for the preceding financial year ended 31
January 2017 were filed with the Registrar and included an unqualified auditors’ report.
After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Taxation
The tax expense on the result for the six months ended 31 July 2017 is based on the estimated tax rates in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, for the year ending 31 January 2018.
4. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
