About Osirium Technologies Plc
Osirium Technologies plc (AIM: OSI) is a leading UK-based cybersecurity software vendor delivering Privileged Access Management (PAM), Privileged Endpoint Management (PEM) and Osirium Automation solutions that are uniquely simple to deploy and maintain.
With privileged credentials involved in over 80% of security breaches, customers rely on Osirium PAM's innovative technology to secure their critical infrastructure by controlling 3rd party access, protecting against insider threats, and demonstrating rigorous compliance. Osirium Automation delivers time and cost savings by automating complex, multi-system processes securely, allowing them to be delegated to Help Desk engineers or end-users and to free up specialist IT resources. The Osirium PEM solution balances security and productivity by removing risky local administrator rights from users, while at the same time allowing escalated privileges for specific applications.
Founded in 2008 and with its headquarters in Reading, UK, the Group was admitted to trading on AIM in April 2016. For further information please visit www.osirium.com.
Chief Executive Officer's Review
Proposed Acquisition of Osirium
As reported on 30 August 2023, the Board is pleased to announce an agreement with the Board of Directors of SailPoint Technologies UK Ltd ("BidCo"), which is indirectly owned by SailPoint Parent, L.P., for the recommended cash acquisition of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of Osirium (the "Acquisition"). Under the terms of the Acquisition, each Osirium Shareholder will be entitled to receive 2.35 pence in cash for each Osirium Share. The Acquisition values Osirium's entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital at approximately £3.11 million on a fully diluted basis and implies an enterprise value of approximately £6.56 million.
The Board believes the Acquisition will provide the scale, recognition and resources that will enable the full potential of Osirium's PAM, EPM and PPA solutions.
Further, we believe that the Acquisition fairly recognises the medium-term prospects and growth potential of Osirium as a standalone business and provides Osirium Shareholders with an immediate and certain value in cash.
The proposed Acquisition is subject to shareholder approval at a court meeting and at a general meeting, the dates of which will be announced in due course.
HY23 performance
Overview
The Group is pleased to report a period of continued trading momentum, in which it has strengthened its presence in the public and private sectors alongside ensuring its offering remains a compelling option for customers through enhancements to its privileged security solutions. Alongside this trading performance, the Group has maintained a focus on managing its cost base, with material cost savings initially identified in Q4 2022 having been achieved in the business.
The Group's ARR increased by 34% over the 12 months to 30 June 2023 to £2.16 million (30 June 2022 ARR: £1.61 million) and by 16% since the start of the year (December 2022 ARR: £1.86 million). ARR growth has been driven by a combination of new customer wins and renewals from existing customers.
Bookings for the period were £1.22 million (H1 2022: £1.18 million) and revenue was £1.07 million (H1 2022: £0.91 million), representing a 3% and 18% increase on H1 2022 respectively. Deferred revenue at 30 June 2023 was £2.87 million (30 June 2022: £1.91 million).
The Group maintained its average contract value on the last financial year, with its partner-first sales strategy and delivering a healthy pipeline of opportunities across its Privileged Access Management ("PAM"), Privileged Process Automation ("PPA") and Endpoint Privileged Management ("EPM") solutions. All three products represent attractive standalone options to prospective customers, and have contributed meaningfully to the Group's bookings and ARR.
Capturing new business
Osirium continued its new business momentum in the new year, with 22 new customers signed by 30 June 2023.
The Group's sales functions consist of a channel partner network alongside a direct sales model. The Group's channel partner network consists of over 50 active resellers and vendors across five continents.
In 2023, the Group has transitioned to a partner first model, with a greater emphasis placed on winning customers via the broad channel partner network. This transition positions the Group for further growth, enabling a swifter pace of customer acquisition and providing an entry point into new sectors and geographies where the Group's direct sales team is limited. A significant majority of the Group's new wins have been achieved through this model during the period alongside traditional sales and marketing such as appearances at a number of key trade shows, which raise the Group's profile among its core audiences.
While maintaining an emphasis on expansion within all the markets its partners operate, the Group has seen particular traction within its UK markets on account of its strong reputation and the requirements for this level of protection. New customers signed during the half include Northern Ireland Water, Quaker House, De La Rue and Telehouse.
Healthcare represents a core market for the Group, with Osirium counting approximately a quarter of all NHS Trusts as customers. The Group's reputation in this sector has actively contributed to the pipeline via referrals to prospective customers and direct approaches from resellers, supporting new business acquisition.
Customer renewals, license expansions and cross-selling
Alongside new customer wins, a core focus of Osirium's strategy is to achieve significant renewals, license expansions and cross-selling following an initial sale.
A significant number of customers bought more products or increased their license capacity during the period, aided by the continued maturation of the Group's PPA and EPM products. The Group has achieved a number of cross-sells from initial contracts, including the purchase of EPM from an initial contract, leading to the addition of the Group's PAM product. As at 30 June 2023, over 25% of active customers have been issued with licenses for more than one product.
In addition, supported by our customer focus and continued product enhancements, our strong rate of customer renewals has been maintained, currently at 98%.
Market
The market for privileged security has continued to grow in line with the increasing awareness of and requirement for these services globally, supporting the Group's customer acquisition.
Key regulatory drivers, directives and hybrid working trends continue to underpin the demand for privileged security, particularly in Europe and North America. In particular, the requirements for organisations to obtain privileged security for cyber insurance policies mean our solutions continue to be one of the factors at the top of the priority list for IT professionals.
Within the UK, these directives have also been issued in the Group's target sectors such as healthcare. The National Health Service's recent cyber security strategy outlines the role PAM products can play in preventing the insider threat and limiting security risks around privileged access more generally.
Ransomware continues to represent the core threat to IT departments, with a number of significant attacks observed during the year and reported across mainstream media. Compounded by geopolitical instability, these attacks highlight the need for privileged security in businesses and organisations of all sizes.
Current trading and outlook
The Group has made a positive start to the second half to date, with a number of further customer renewals. In addition, the Group has continued to see a growing pool of prospective new customers driven by the Group's partner network and strong reputation within its markets. Osirium's cash balance at 31 August 2023 was £89k with debtors of £242k.
Bridge Finance Facility
On 6 September 2023, Bidco (as the lender), Osirium Limited (as borrower) and the Group (as guarantor) entered into a bridge finance facility agreement (the "Bridge Finance Facility Agreement"). Pursuant to the Bridge Finance Facility Agreement, Bidco agreed to make available to Osirium Limited, as the operating subsidiary of the Group, a loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to £200,000 (the "Bridge Finance Facility"). Multiple loans may be drawn under the Bridge Finance Facility.
The Bridge Finance Facility is being made available to fund the working capital needs of the Group. Any drawdown is subject to the consent of Bidco, which may be granted in its sole discretion.
The Bridge Finance Facility will terminate on the earlier of: (i) 31 December 2023; (ii) the date falling ten Business Days (as defined in the Bridge Finance Facility Agreement, being "Bridge Finance Facility Business Days") after the date on which Bidco announces, with the consent of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel"), that it does not intend to make or proceed with the Acquisition and no new, revised or replacement offer or scheme is announced in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code at the same time; (iii) the date falling ten Bridge Finance Facility Business Days after the date on which the Scheme is withdrawn or lapses for the purposes of the Takeover Code (save where Bidco has exercised its right to switch from the Scheme to a takeover offer prior to such withdrawal or lapse); (iv) the date falling ten Bridge Finance Facility Business Days after the date on which a third party (other than Bidco or any person acting in concert with Bidco) announces a firm intention to make an offer for shares in Osirium pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code, whether or not recommended, at an offer price greater than 2.35p per share; and (v) where Bidco has exercised its right to switch from the Scheme to a takeover offer, if: (a) subject to Panel consent, the offer document has not been published by 11:59 p.m. on the 28th calendar day following the announcement of such exercise of the right to switch (or such later time or date as agreed between Bidco and Osirium, with the approval of the Panel if required); or (b) such Offer lapses for the purposes of the Takeover Code, in each case on the date falling ten Bridge Finance Facility Business Days after such date.
Interest on each loan under the Bridge Finance Facility will accrue at a rate of 10 per cent. per annum until the date of termination of the Bridge Finance Facility Agreement. Any voluntary prepayment by Osirium Limited is without penalty or fee (apart from breakage costs and accrued interest).
The Bridge Finance Facility Agreement includes customary representations and undertakings and financial information rights for a facility of this kind. The Bridge Finance Facility Agreement is unsecured.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Osirium Technologies PLC was incorporated on 3 November 2015, and registered and domiciled in England and Wales with its registered office located at One Central Square, Cardiff CF10 1FS.
The principal activity of the Group in the periods under review was that of the development, sale and licensing of security software.
BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The Group financial information is presented in pounds sterling which is the Group's presentational currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest whole pound.
The financial information does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information together with the comparative information for the six months ended 30 June 2022 are unaudited with the audited information included for the 12-month period ended 31 December 2022. The audited information received an audit report which was unqualified and did not include a statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006 but did contain a material uncertainty paragraph on going concern.
The financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on 6 September 2023 and authorised for issue on 7 September 2023.
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2023 are in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of UK-adopted international accounting standards and are consistent with those which will be adopted in the annual financial statements for year ended 31 December 2023.
These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. As permitted, the Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' in preparing these Interim Financial Statements.
The Directors have considered all new, revised or amended standards and interpretations which are mandatory for the first time for the financial year ending 31 December 2023, and concluded that none have had any significant impact on these interim financial statements. New, revised or amended standards and interpretations that are not yet effective have not been adopted early.
Intangible assets
An internally generated, development intangible asset arising from Osirium's product development is recognised if, and only if, Osirium can demonstrate all of the following:
· The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use of sale.
· Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.
· Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.
· How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
· The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
· Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
Internally generated development intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Amortisation commences in the financial year of capitalisation. Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Development costs 20% per annum, straight line.
Share based payments
Osirium issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees and others under which Osirium receives services as consideration for equity instruments (options) in Osirium. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value determined at the grant date of equity-settled share-based payments is recognised as an expense in Osirium's Statement of Comprehensive Income over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, based on Osirium's estimate of the number instruments that will eventually vest with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The expected life used in the valuation is adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effect of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
Non-vesting and market vesting conditions are taken into account when estimating the fair value of the options at grant date. Service and non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of options expected to vest at each reporting date. When the options are exercised Osirium issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.
