Result Overview
Solution Dynamics Limited (“SDL” or “Company”) produced an unaudited net profit after
tax of $0 .704 million for the half year . This represents 19 .9% year-on-year growth on an
after-tax basis and was modestly ahead of the Company’s budget for the period . The
underlying growth was mainly generated from Software & Technology gains and contained
no unusual items or material one-off software licensing revenue . Digital Print and Document
Handling revenues also showed pleasing growth . The Directors have declared an interim
dividend of 3 .5 cents per share, fully imputed, representing a payout ratio of 70% .
Operational Commentary
Operating revenue grew 31 .3% to $10 .19 million, however, much of this was from gains in
low margin postage revenue and subcontracted printing in the UK where SDL earns low
margins . The consequence of this changing revenue mix was a decline in the Company’s
gross margin percentage (although dollar gross margin continued to grow, increasing
14 .6% to $3 .839 million) .
Software & Technology revenues increased 18 .9% to $2 .42 million as the Company’s UK
revenues continue to build, although the overall growth rate was moderately constrained
by a small decline in development revenues versus the prior year and a reduced
requirement for Déjar archival services by one major customer which now stores its own
PDF documents (a trend we expect to see more broadly going forward) .
Revenue rose 10% year-on-year to $3 .40 million in the traditional digital print and
document handling services market, a market which otherwise remains in overall decline .
Growth is coming from a range of industry sectors including financial services, debt
collection, retail, freight and distribution, and charities . SDL’s web based, hybrid mail
software offering (DéjarMail) has been instrumental in the capture of most of the new
opportunities within our existing customers and securing a broadening range of new
customers . Achieiving overall digital print revenue growth was a positive result given the
company saw a major customer (the same one referred to above with reduced Déjar
requirements) also reducing the number of pages in its mailings (the number of mailings
remained the same but each mailing contained fewer pages) . Growth for SDL is expected
to continue to come from both new business wins and incremental business from existing
clients, offset by the ongoing industry trend of migrating volumes to electronic distribution .
However the electronic delivery of documents revenues grew in excess of 50% year on
year and incoming mail processing (i .e . scanning services) revenues grew in excess of
70% year on year .
High asset utilisation of SDL’s print imaging and document handling equipment coupled
with ongoing cost efficiency gains saw modest improvement in imaging gross margin . The

first customer under the Fuji Xerox DMS agreement commenced trial printing late in
the first half and is expected to progressively move to full production volumes from
early in the second half of FY2017 .
The Company is seeing increasing interest in its software technology in the UK,
particularly DéjarMail . In addition to the reseller that is bundling it into its own
software for dental practices in the UK, mail resellers are also attracted to DéjarMail
as a means of capturing desktop mail volumes . The company has now signed up
two large mail resellers and is in discussions with other mail service providers in the
UK and Europe . The dental software provider is also working with SDL to bundle
Bremy (marketing communications solution) into its offering as a tool to allow dental
practices to more easily automate their marketing and run promotional campaigns .
Financial Performance
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) improved by
$147,000 (+15 . 8%) to $1 .08 million on sales volumes that rose 31 .3% .

CHAIRMAN’S & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT CONTINUED
The EBITDA result gain is partly the benefit of higher gross margin in both Digital
Print and Software & Technology . Underlying Selling, General & Admin (SG&A)
costs remain well managed; the SG&A increase is partly accruing for higher staff
incentive payments as a result of improved operating results, partly from higher
costs in relation to new business initiatives and partly from increasing resources
dedicated to support and revenue growth in the UK market . The UK market has
significant opportunity for SDL and the Company has invested in supporting
channels and new customers as well as adding additional direct sales resource .
SDL’s tax rate in 1H FY2017 was 24 .8% versus 27 .0% in the prior period . This
lower tax rate partly represents an adjustment for FY2016 taxation but is mainly the
effect of the Company working through the balance of its UK tax losses .
Revenue Analysis
Yr-on-Yr Yr-on-Yr
(all figures $000)
1H FY17 1H FY16 $ Change % Change
Software & Technology 2,424 2,038 386 18 .9%
Digital Print & Document Handling 3,398 3,088 310 10 .0%
Outsourced Services 4,365 2,634 1,731 65 .7%
Total Revenue 10,187 7,760 2,427 31.3%
The 18 .9% growth rate for Software & Technology revenue streams in the first half
was on target and our ongoing sales efforts in the UK market are likely to ensure
Software & Technology has a number of years of solid revenue growth ahead .
Several significant new opportunities have been identified, mainly for the DéjarMail
solution in the UK, Poland, Sweden and Ireland . However, the Company is overly
reliant on direct sales efforts and a small number of key customers in the UK; SDL’s
small size and geographic distance from what is presently our most important
growth market presents ongoing difficulties . The Board is presently addressing this
by increasing staff numbers in the UK and would also particularly like to commend
SDL's New Zealand-based staff for their additional efforts in servicing an increasing
number of out-of-time-zone clients .
SDL is seeing strong market share gains in terms of volume of lodged mail with NZ
Post and we expect this trend to continue . New digital print business wins should
begin to generate modest revenue growth during the second half although this is
partly dependent on the timing of when the print work handover occurs .

CHAIRMAN’S & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT CONTINUED
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Debt
SDL closed the half year with net cash on hand of $1 .858 million . A bank overdraft
facility of $0 .2 million remains in placed but is presently unused . The Company’s
balance sheet remains very strong with half year net cash on hand (i .e .cash less
interest bearing debt) of $1 .858 million . Moderate capital expenditure was incurred
in the half on upgrading some of SDL’s internal IT systems, but in general, capital
expenditure requirements appear modest in the near term .
Selected Balance Sheet and Cashflow Figures
Yr-on-Yr Yr-on-Yr
(all figures $000)
1H FY17 1H FY16 $ Change % Change
Net Cash on Hand (net of debt) 1,858 1,350 508 37 .6%

Net Other Liabilities -570 -412 -158 38 .3%
Net Assets 3,393 2,931 462 15.8%
Cashflow from Trading 893 743 150 20 .2%
Movement in Working Capital 61 -49 110 -224 .5%
Cash Inflow from Operations 954 694 260 37.5%
Book value (net assets) has increased by 15 .8% to $3 .393 million . Working capital
continues to be well managed . SDL made capital expenditure additions during
the half of $190,000, the majority of which, as noted above, was for IT system
upgrades .
In reviewing the above cash flow and working capital figures, a degree of
seasonality should be noted . Historically, sales and earnings are higher in 1H
compared to 2H and accordingly the movement in working capital is negative in
1H, and positive in 2H . With SDL’s software revenues increasing, the extent of this
seasonality is beginning to reduce .
We reiterate the Company’s cautious approach to acquisitions and strong
preference for organic growth . The directors are conscious of the risks involved in
acquisitions . In addition to being careful not to overpay, acquisitions would typically
either need to be “bolt ons” where removal of duplicated costs means the effective
acquisition multiple is very low, or product extensions where the acquisition fills a
gap in SDL’s software portfolio plus SDL has the opportunity to sell its software into
the acquired company’s customer base .

In early 2014 SDL commenced an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) . That ESOP
has issued options over 580,000 shares and 500,000 of these options mature in
March 2017 (the remaining 80,000 mature in March 2018) . The holders of the 500,000
options then have 18 months to exercise and convert them into shares should they
elect to do so .
Dividend
SDL is declaring an interim dividend of 3 .5 cents per share, an increase of 0 .5 cents
per share or 16 .7% on the prior year .
Earnings and Dividend per Share
Yr-on-Yr Yr-on-Yr
1H FY17 1H FY16 Change % Change

The dividend is fully imputed and the amount represents a payout ratio of 70% of
earnings per share . An arrangement with NZ Trade and Enterprise in relation to
helping fund UK market development requires the Company to cap the dividend
payout ratio at less than 75% for the duration of the agreement .

CHAIRMAN’S & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT CONTINUED
FY 2017 Outlook
The interim result was very slightly ahead of budget and in line with SDL’s earnings
outlook issued on 20 December 2016, which also noted a number of factors
affecting growth . The Company reiterates its forecast of around 25% growth in
earnings for the full financial year, albeit with some contingency that the timing and
ramp up rate of several new customers proceeds as expected during 2H FY2017 .
Recent software wins in the UK and a new print client in Australia, coupled with
the ongoing rollout of SDL’s software technology by existing and recently won
UK clients, should ensure that, subject to the usual risk caveats, earnings growth
continues in FY2018 .

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 31 December 2016
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the interim financial statements)
are for the six months ended 31 December 2016 and are presented in NZ$, which is the
functional currency of the parent company . They have been prepared in accordance with
New Zealand generally accepted accounting practice and comply with New Zealand
Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 (NZIAS34) and IAS 34 “Interim
Financial Reporting” (IAS34) . They do not include all of the information required in annual
financial statements in accordance with IFRS’s, and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 .
Solution Dynamics Limited is the Group’s ultimate parent company . It is a limited liability
public company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is listed with the New
Zealand Stock Exchange on the NZAX . The Company is an FMC Reporting Entity under
the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 . The address of its registered office and principal
place of business is 18 Canaveral Drive, Auckland, New Zealand .
The Group comprises Solution Dynamics Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries
Solution Dynamics (International) Limited, based in the United Kingdom and Déjar
International Limited . Déjar International Limited is non-trading .
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2016 and the
related comparative interim period, are unaudited . Due to seasonal variability financial
information from the audited financial statements for the immediate preceding financial
year ending 30 June 2016 have also been included .
The unaudited interim financial statements for the Group for the six months ended
31 December 2016 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of
Directors on 16 February 2017 .
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
accounting policies adopted in the Group’s most recent annual financial statements for
the year ended 30 June 2016 .
3. ESTIMATES
When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of
judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses . The actual results may differ from the judgements,
estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated
results .

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 31 December 2016
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial
statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as
those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended
30 June 2016 . The only exception is the estimate of the provision for income taxes
which is determined in the interim financial statements using the estimated average
annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period .
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group supplies customer communication solutions . These include a range of
integrated document management products and services separated into three streams;
software & technology services, digital printing & document handling services and
outsourced services . Specific elements of these streams are as follows:
• Software & Technology, Solution Dynamics owns the intellectual property in four
products;
»Déjar, an online digital archival and retrieval system sold stand-alone under
licence agreements and also as a hosted service in New Zealand and
Internationally .
»Bremy, Digital asset management, workflow and multichannel publishing
software sold as a licenced product and also as a hosted service in New
Zealand, Australia and the UK .
»DéjarMail, a secure web based application that takes small quantities of
documents, normally uneconomic for mail-house processing, then prepares
and consolidates them for bulk postal delivery or email and subsequent
archiving . This improves governance and brand management and
substantially reduces costs .
»Composer, “On-Demand” content creation software .
In addition to owning the intellectual property for the above products, Solution
Dynamics provides programming, consulting and design services that help clients
to distribute marketing and essential communications by mail and electronically .
The provision of these services is covered under this category .
• Digital Printing & Document Handling Services, the printing of client’s information
digitally using high speed laser printers followed by the lodgement and
distribution of those documents using a variety of machine and other processes .

For the six months ended 31 December 2016
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
• Outsourced Services, not all components of Solution Dynamics’ solutions
are produced internally . External elements such as post, freight, paper and
envelopes are sourced from external suppliers and included in this service
stream . Solution Dynamics has long term arrangements with a number of
key suppliers such as NZ Post for the provision of these services .
Selling, general and administration costs are not allocated to the revenue
streams in the Group reporting and hence there are no segment profit or loss
amounts reported to management .
There are no reconciling items in this note due to the management information
provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker being compiled using the
same standards and accounting policies as those used to prepare the financial
statements .
