Result Overview
Solution Dynamics Limited (“SDL” or “Company”) produced an unaudited net
profit after tax of $0 .832 million for the half year (1H FY17 $0 .704 million) . This
represents 18 .2% year-on-year growth . Cash flow from operations was $0 .827
million (1H FY17 $0 .954 million) and the closing net cash position at 31 December
was $2 .41 million (1H FY17 $1 .86 million) . The Directors have declared an interim
dividend of 4 .0 cents per share (1H FY17 3 .5 cents), fully imputed, a payout ratio
of 69% of earnings per share .
Operational Commentary
Operating revenue grew 10 .8% to $11 .3 million . Much of this was from gains in
low margin postage revenue and subcontracted printing in the UK where SDL
earns low margins . NZ domestic print revenue was under some pressure, falling
fractionally year-on-year . The consequence of SDL’s changing revenue mix –
particularly the pressure on higher margin local print and mail volumes, more on
that below – was a slight decline in the Company’s gross margin percentage from
37 .7% to 37 .3% (dollar gross margin increased, up 9 .7% to $4 .21 million) . Costs
continued to be well controlled, with Selling, General & Administration costs rising
4 .6% with much of the increase coming from SDL adding additional resource,
especially in the UK .
Software & Technology revenues showed a pleasing increase of 21 .0% to $2 .93
million (1H FY17: $2 .42 million), as the Company’s UK revenues in particular
continue to build . SDL’s UK channel partners are increasingly gaining sales
traction . Furthermore, this first half revenue growth is despite some drag from the
impact during the prior year of a major New Zealand customer no longer requiring
Déjar to archive its invoices as it began to self store its documents .
SDL was pleased to be recently recognised for its growth in technology with
the Financial Times rating the Company in the top 1,000 Asia-Pacific growth
companies and allocating SDL to the technology sector .
In the traditional digital print and document handling services market, revenue
declined 0 .5% year-on-year to $3 .38 million (1H FY17: $3 .40 million) . While this
is a market which otherwise remains in overall decline, SDL has previously been
able to grow print and mail revenues by picking up market share at a faster pace

CHAIRMAN’S & CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER’S REPORT
than customers have been switching to electronic communications channels . A
key feature of the Company’s first half was a noticeable increase in the rate at
which customers switched to electronic communications . Historically, SDL has
observed the annual rate of switching at around 5-7%, but the first half saw this
increase to a rate of around 15% . We largely put this increased switching rate to
some of SDL’s customers becoming more cost focussed, as the Company also
noticed a drop off in the level of ad hoc print/mail and development work against
historic levels . The dollar gross margins SDL earns on electronic communications
are lower than print and consequently this increase in switching is acting as a
drag on the Company’s earnings .
Outside of the switch to electronic, the Company is seeing print and mail growth
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 .
The Company is seeing increasing interest in its software technology in the UK
and Europe, particularly DéjarMail . Mail resellers are attracted to DéjarMail as a
means of capturing desktop mail volumes . SDL now has two large mail resellers
in the UK and is seeing solidly growing volumes through these channels .
SDL has also recently extended its multi-channel communications offering and
added SMS, text to voice (TTV) and e-fax to its Omni Channel Portal .
Financial Performance
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) improved by
$0 .25 million (+22 .8%) to $1 .32 million (1H HY17: $1 .08 million) on sales revenue
that rose 10 .8% .

Taxation 339 233 106 45 .5%
Net Profit after Tax 832 704 128 18.2%
The EBITDA result gain is partly the benefit of higher gross margin in Software &
Technology, plus underlying Selling, General & Admin (SG&A) costs remaining well
managed .
SDL’s taxation rate in 1H FY2018 was 29 .0% versus 24 .9% in the prior period . This
higher rate partly represents a one-off adjustment that lowered the taxation rate in
1H FY2017 taxation as well as the lack of UK tax losses which were fully utilised in
FY2017 . Going forward, the Company expects to be paying tax at the full rate on both
New Zealand and UK earnings .

CHAIRMAN’S & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT CONTINUED
The 21 .0% growth rate for Software & Technology revenue streams in the first half
was ahead of expectations . SDL’s pipeline of opportunities and sales efforts in the
UK and European markets are likely to ensure Software & Technology has a number
of years of revenue growth ahead . The Company is still overly reliant on direct sales
efforts by a couple of key staff, and a small number of large customers in the UK .
We reiterate previous comments that SDL’s small size and geographic distance
from what is presently our most important growth market continues to present
ongoing difficulties but the Company is nevertheless pleased with the expansion
being achieved .
Digital print growth in 1H FY2018 was problematic as a result of the increased rate of
switching to electronic communications noted above . While this trend will continue,
the variability in the rate of change is less certain and difficult to predict . The industry
has excess digital print capacity and rationalisation will inevitably occur .
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Debt
SDL closed the half year with net cash on hand of $2 .41 million . A bank overdraft
facility of $0 .2 million remains in placed but is unused . The main capital expenditure
in the half was in upgrading some of SDL’s production-related software .
Selected Balance Sheet and Cashflow Figures
Yr-on-Yr Yr-on-Yr
(all figures $000)
1H FY18 1H FY17 $ Change % Change
Net Cash on Hand (net of debt) 2,408 1,858 550 29 .6%
Non-current Assets 1,959 2,105 (146) -6 .9%
Net Other Liabilities (398) (570) 172 -30 .2%
Net Assets 3,969 3,393 576 17.0%
Cashflow from Trading 968 893 75 8 .4%
Movement in Working Capital (141) 61 (202) -331 .1%
Cash Inflow from Operations 827 954 (127) -13.3%
Book value (net assets) has increased by 17 .0% to $3 .97 million . Working capital
continues to be well managed . SDL made capital expenditure additions during the
half of $0 .115 million, the majority of which, as noted above, was for software .
The seasonality in SDL’s business, especially New Zealand print and mail, means
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 . As SDL’s software
|
8
|
revenue, especially in the northern hemisphere, continues to grow, the extent of this
seasonality is beginning to reduce .
The Company examined (and is still examining in some cases) a number of potential
acquisition opportunities during the first half but retains its cautious approach to
acquisitions and strong preference for organic growth . Nevertheless there may
be “bolt on” opportunities where removal of duplicated costs means the effective
acquisition multiple is low, or product extension opportunities 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 introduced an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) . That ESOP
has issued options over 580,000 shares and 500,000 of these options became
exercisable in March 2017 (the remaining 80,000 become exercisable in March 2018) .
During the first half of FY2018, staff exercised options over 190,000 of these shares
which increased SDL’s shares on issue by 1 .4% to 14 .25 million shares .
Dividend
SDL is declaring an interim dividend of 4 .0 cents per share, an increase of 0 .5 cent
per share or 14 .3% on the prior year .
Earnings and Dividend per Share
Yr-on-Yr Yr-on-Yr
1H FY18 1H FY17 Change % Change
Shares on issue (000) 14,249 .8 14,059 .8 190 .0 1 .4%
Earnings per share (cents) 5.84 5.01 0.83 16.6%
Dividend per share (cents) 4.00 3.50 0.50 14.3%
Dividend proportion Imputed 100 .0% 100 .0% n .a . n .a .
Payout ratio 68 .5% 69 .9% n .a . n .a .
The dividend is fully imputed and the amount represents a payout ratio of 69% of
earnings per share . An arrangement with NZ Trade and Enterprise (“NZTE”) 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 . The NZTE funding
agreement expires at the end of the current financial year and SDL thanks NZTE
for its assistance, which has been very beneficial in helping the Company produce
strong, positive results from its UK growth initiatives .

CHAIRMAN’S & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT CONTINUED
FY 2018 Outlook
The two trends that affected the first half – increased rate in transition of domestic
physical volumes to electronic, offset by better software growth in UK and Europe
– are expected to continue through the second half . How the relative magnitude of
these two trends play out over the remainder of the year is difficult to forecast at
this stage, and the timing of software deals in Europe will also affect the full year
profit outturn .
SDL continues to examine potential acquisition opportunities and has a strong
pipeline of new customer opportunities in the UK and Europe . This includes
expanding the Company’s multi-channel distribution software to include SMS .
SDL has previously provided FY2018 guidance for earnings growth of around 15% .
Following the first half result, and considering the strong software pipeline, the
Directors are upgrading the full year earnings growth outlook to around 20%, with
the caveat that some of the software pipeline may require additional upfront costs .
