CHIEF EXECUTIVE REVIEW
I am pleased to present our results for the six months ended 30 June 2023. The Group has performed well during the period, achieving record first half revenue of £111.2m (H1 2022: £104.8m) a 6.1% increase. The Group sold 6.9m eyewear units in the period, up 11.3% compared to 6.2m eyewear units sold in H1 2022.
The Group made an Underlying EBITDA of £12.1m compared to £11.4m for the same period in 2022.
On a constant exchange basis, Group revenues increased 2.3% from £104.8m to £107.2m.
The Group's performance at the Underlying EBITDA level in H1 2023 exceeded our previous record performance of H1 2022 by 5.4%. The Group saw good growth in our UK and North American businesses, and a significant reduction in the operational losses at Norville, as a result of our cost saving programme. Our European markets (excluding the UK) remained relatively flat. Our gross profit margin, despite cost inflationary pressures, increased to 51.4% from 50.5%. Administrative expenses in the period of £49.3m (H1 2022: £46.6m) were well controlled, decreasing from 44.4% to 44.3% of revenue.
The Group has made key licence renewals, including Marco Polo and Ted Baker, as well as receiving a significant order from a global retailer for a key licence brand which will be delivered in Q4 2023.
UK
Within the UK market, revenue has increased by 19.5% to £13.6m, driven by increased distribution to major retail chains.
Europe
Revenue in Europe at £52.2m was flat year on year with a strong performance in our key German market offset by a softer performance in other European markets. During the period TitanFlex, a brand designed for comfort, successfully launched a new range for women.
North America
Revenue within North America has increased by £3.0m (8.6%) to £37.4m, with good growth in our frame and low vision operating entities.
Frames and Optics
Our Frames and Optics distribution business increased its external revenue from £93.2m in H1 2022 to £100.2m in H1 2023, an increase of 7.6%. This was driven mainly by a good performance in the UK and North American markets.
Wholesale
In line with our expectations for the first six months, external revenue from the Wholesale business for H1 2023 was £9.0m, compared to £9.9m in H1 2022. We expect to see increased activity in the second half.
Lenses
Our lens manufacturing business has reported external revenue growth of 13.9%, with losses from the division decreasing by £0.9m to £1.2m. We continue to make steady progress, with increased revenue and operational activity, and a drive towards profitability in the future.
Manufacturing
Construction of our new manufacturing facility in Vietnam commenced in May 2023, with expected completion in H1 2024. Once fully operational, this will increase the manufacturing capacity of the Group to circa 12 million units per year.
We continue to evaluate our Portugal manufacturing facility, which would mainly supply our European markets.
Research and development
The research and development division of the business, Skunkworks, has continued to work on the development of innovative eyewear channels, resulting in significant growth in commercial activity during H1 2023.
ESG
Following the establishment of our ESG Committee in 2022, we have been progressing against our ESG goals. During the period the Group donated two water filtration units for local schools in Vietnam and offset over 4,500 TCO2e through renewable energy projects. We continue to assess ways in which we can further integrate ESG into our corporate strategy.
Eyewear market
The eyewear market is projected to grow at a rate of 4.4% per year between 2023 and 2027 (data from Statista.com) providing a resilient base to support our long-term growth strategy.
Outlook
Trading in the second half to date has been in line with our expectations and our order books remain at a good level. Whilst we remain cautious in relation to global economic and political events, we remain confident with our full year outlook.
I would like to thank all our teams across the globe who have contributed to this good performance in H1 2023, and their continuing hard work and dedication in achieving our long-term goal of developing INSPECS Group into one of the world's leading eyewear companies.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
Revenue increased to £111.2m from £104.8m in H1 2022, an increase of 6.1%. This was driven by strong growth in our UK and North American markets. On a constant exchange rate1 revenues increased 2.3% from £104.8m (H1 2022) to £107.2m.
Gross Profit Margin
The Group's gross profit margin increased from 50.5% in H1 2022 to 51.4% in H1 2023. The Group continues to actively manage its gross profit margin despite cost inflation.
Operating Profit
The Group's operating profit increased 25.1% to £4.6m (H1 2022: £3.6m).
Underlying EBITDA
The Group's Underlying EBITDA (as calculated in the 'Underlying EBITDA and Adjusted PBT' table below) increased from £11.4m in H1 2022 to £12.1m in H1 2023.
Finance Expenses
Our reported net finance costs increased from £1.3m in H1 2022 to £2.0m reflecting the rise in interest rates around the globe. Net finance costs include £0.1m (H1 2022: £0.3m) relating to the amortisation of capitalised loan arrangement fees.
Depreciation and amortisation
The increase in depreciation is driven by the renewal of key leases across the Group.
| | Period ended 30 June 2023 £m | Period ended 30 June 2022 £m |
| Depreciation | 3.4 | 3.0 |
| Amortisation | 3.3 | 3.4 |
| Total | 6.7 | 6.4 |
Profit/(Loss) Before Tax
Profit before tax for the period was £3.8m (H1 2022: £0.2m loss). The increase of £4.0m is after an increase in finance costs of £0.7m, an increase in amortisation and depreciation of £0.3m and an improvement in exchange adjustments on borrowings of £2.8m.
Adjusted Profit Before Tax
The Group's Adjusted Profit Before Tax (PBT) decreased from £7.5m in H1 2022 to £6.9m in H1 2023 as a result of increased net interest costs (excluding amortisation of loan arrangement fees) of £0.9m and an increase in depreciation of £0.4m.
Cash Generation
Cash management was a key focus in the period and the Group generated a net cash inflow from operating activities of £8.4m in H1 2023 compared to £4.7m in H1 2022.
Cash Position
The Group's cash as of 30 June 2023 was £25.9m compared to £22.2m as at 31 December 2022.
Net Debt
The Group has delivered strong cash generation in the first half and as a result, net debt (excluding leases) decreased by £4.9m to £22.7m (31 December 2022: £27.6m). During the period, the Group invested £0.9m on construction of our new manufacturing facility in Vietnam and paid a further £2.2m of deferred and contingent consideration relating to the EGO and BoDe acquisitions.
Financing
The Group finances its operation through the following borrowings and facilities.
| | | Expires | Drawn at | Drawn at |
| Group revolving credit facility | | October 2024 | 29.5 | 30.0 |
| Term loans | | October 2024 | 9.7 | 10.5 |
| Revolving credit facility USA | | 1-year rolling | 6.7 | 7.2 |
| Invoice discounting | | 1-year rolling | 2.1 | 1.5 |
| Other | | | 0.5 | 0.6 |
| Total | | | 48.5 | 49.8 |
Leverage (using debt to equity ratio)
The Group's leverage position is shown below:
| | 30 June 2023 |
| Actual ratio | 1.99 |
| Required ratio | 3.00 |
The Group's leverage is calculated using a twelve-month rolling EBITDA. The Group's performance in the second half of 2022 was weak and resulted in lower reported EBITDA. As a result of the improved trading performance in the first half and our current expectations for the full year, it is expected that, subject to market conditions, the Group's leverage will continue to improve in the second half of 2023.
Inventory
Our revenue to inventory ratio has improved compared to 30 June 2022 with increased revenue being delivered from a similar inventory base.
| | Period ended 30 June 2023 £m | Period ended 30 June 2022 £m |
| Revenue | 111.2 | 104.8 |
| Inventory
| 42.3 | 42.4 |
| Revenue to inventory ratio | 2.6 | 2.5 |
Current asset ratio
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations, or those due within one year.
| | Period ended 30 June 2023 £m | Period ended 30 June 2022 £m |
| Current Assets | 106.7 | 103.3 |
| Current Liabilities
| 69.7 | 66.4 |
| Ratio | 1.5 | 1.6 |
Quick ratio
The quick ratio is an indicator of a company's short-term liquidity position and measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets.
| | Period ended 30 June 2023 £m | Period ended 30 June 2022 £m |
| Current Assets | 106.7 | 103.3 |
| Less Inventory | (42.3) | (42.4) |
| | 64.4 | 60.9 |
| Current Liabilities
| 69.7 | 66.4 |
| Ratio | 0.9 | 0.9 |
Earnings per Share

Dividend

| NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS For the period ended 30 June 2023 |
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
INSPECS Group plc is a public company limited by shares and is incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the Company's principal place of business is Kelso Place, Upper Bristol Road, Bath BA1 3AU.
The principal activity of the Group in the period was that of design, production, sale, marketing and distribution of high fashion eyewear and OEM products worldwide.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going concern
Based on the Group's forecasts, the interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Directors have assessed that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its commitments as they fall due over the going concern period to 30 September 2024.
The assessment has considered the Group's current financial position as follows:
• The Group improved its cash position during the period with net debt including leasing dropping from £27.6m at 31 December 2022 to £22.7m at 30 June 2023.
• Cash generated from operations in the period amounted to £11.5m (2022 H1: £8.7m).
• The Group balance sheet has net assets of £106.2m and net current assets of £36.9m.
• The Group's net debt excluding leasing improved by £4.9m in the six months to 30 June 2023.
The assessment has considered the current measures being put in place by the Group to preserve cash and ensure continuity of operations through:
• Ensuring continuation of its supply chain, building on the benefit of having its own manufacturing sites and by securing alternative third-party supply lines.
• Maintaining geographical sales diversification, focusing sales to online customers and seeking new revenue streams around the globe.
• Ability to service both the major global retail chains and significant distribution to the independent eyewear market following the acquisitions completed over recent periods.
• Retaining cash for investment into the Group by not paying a dividend to shareholders.
Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and with accounting policies that are consistent with the Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2022.
Effective from 1 January 2023, the reporting currency of the Group was changed to GBP from USD to allow for greater transparency for investors and other stakeholders. Accordingly, comparative information is therefore also restated in GBP.
The comparative financial information for the period ended 30 June 2022 in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts for that period under 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and is unaudited.
Accounting policies are included in detail within the latest Annual Report.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the Group's historical information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities in the future.
Estimation uncertainty
In addition to the going concern section of note 2, the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period, are described below.
Right of return liability
Management applies assumptions in determining the right of return liability and the associated right of return asset. These assumptions are based on analysis of historical data trends, but require estimation of appropriate time periods and expected return rates. The right of return liability at the period end is £11,862,000 (31 December 2022: £10,613,000) in line with the accounting methodology used as at 31 December 2022.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group operates in three operating segments, which upon application of the aggregation criteria set out in IFRS 8 Operating Segments results in three reporting segments:
• Frames and Optics product distribution.
• Wholesale - being OEM and manufacturing distribution.
• Lenses - being manufacturing and distribution of lenses.
The criteria applied to identify the operating segments are consistent with the way the Group is managed. In particular, the disclosures are consistent with the information regularly reviewed by the CEO and the CFO in their role as Chief Operating Decision Makers, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance.
The reportable segments subject to disclosure are consistent with the organisation model adopted by the Group during the six months ended 30 June 2023 are as below:

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings per Share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares, to the extent that the inclusion of such shares is not anti-dilutive. During the period to 30 June 2022 the Group made a loss; therefore, diluted EPS is not applicable as the impact of potential ordinary shares is anti-dilutive.
Basic earnings per share is £0.02 (30 June 2022: £(0.03)), with diluted earnings per share of £0.02 (30 June 2022: £(0.03)). The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations:

9. NON-UNDERLYING COSTS
Non-underlying costs during the six months to 30 June 2022 related to accounting alignment of acquisitions which occurred in 2021 as well as work on ongoing acquisitions and restructuring.
10. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Certain employees of the Group are granted options over the shares in INSPECS Group. The options are granted with a fixed exercise price and have vesting dates of between one and three years after date of grant.
The Group recognises a share-based payment expense based on the fair value of the awards granted, and an equivalent credit directly in equity to share option reserve. On exercise of the shares by the employees, the Group is charged the intrinsic value of the shares by INSPECS Group plc and this amount is treated as a reduction of the capital contribution, and it is recognised directly in equity.
Share options outstanding at the end of the period have the following expiry date and exercise prices:
| Grant date | | Expected life of options | Exercise price per option £ | Number of share options |
|
| 11 October 2019 | | 3-5 years | 1.01 | 412,102 | |
| 27 February 2020 | | 3-5 years | 1.95 | 1,923,110 | |

11. RESTATED PROFIT/(LOSS) BEFORE TAX
The 2022 Annual Report and Accounts included restated primary statements for the year to 31 December 2021 relating to a prior year adjustment concerning the treatment of contingent consideration payable on business combinations.

| | £'000
| ||
| Profit before tax 30 June 2022 (converted to GBP) | 581 |

| Adjustments relating to earn-out on contingent consideration | (770) |
