Haydale (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2021 (the ‘Period’ or ‘H1 FY2022’).

Financial Highlights

• Successful fund raise of £5.1 million (Gross) in September 2021;
• Group Revenues of £1.19 million (H1 FY2021 £1.28 million) impacted by £0.64 million of accelerated purchases from our largest SIC customer in the prior Period;
• UK and APAC sales increased by 19% (H1 FY2022 £0.49 million vs H1 FY2021 £0.41 million) on a like-for-like basis;
• Investment in operational capacity and lower than anticipated overhead absorption at the US facility led to an increase in Adjusted administrative expenses of 14%;
• Adjusted operating loss for the Period of £1.75 million (H1 FY2021 £1.08 million); and
• Cash at Period end of £3.84 million (31 December 2021: £1.88 million).

Operational Highlights 

• Viritech - Memorandum of Understanding signed in September to assist in the development of hydrogen powertrain technologies, encompassing Haydale’s experience in composite design and technology.
• Promake - Continuing to support and develop the next generation of smart medical diagnostic devices using graphene enhanced components.
• Airbus - Joint patent application announcement in August 2021.  Haydale now working to further enhance its electrically conductive pre-preg material for lightning strike protection and other applications.
• Heater Ink Garments – now working with commercial parties to bring our heater ink technology used in garments worn by medal winning athletes in Tokyo to a wider market.
• Using Haydale’s functionalised GNP’s, iCraft have developed a next generation anti-bacterial coated fabric, THERMiT™, which was supplied to South Korean sports apparel brand, Pro-Specs, for use in a new graphene-enhanced jacket.

  Post period Operational Highlights 

• Agreement with High Tech Systems Ltd to supply functionalised Boron Nitride into a thermally conductive fluid for domestic and industrial heating systems.

• PATit™ and CeramycGuard™ shortlisted for British Engineering Excellence Awards in the Materials Application of the Year category.
• A biomedical ink that is being developed for the rapid diagnosis market has been shortlisted for an innovative Kidney MedTech Competition for  transformational technologies organised by Kidney Research UK.
• Award of a Smart Cymru grant of £169,000 by the Welsh Government to support the further development of the PATit™ Anti-counterfeiting solution.

Commenting on the interim results, Keith Broadbent, Chief Executive Officer of Haydale, said:

"Our progress on many of the functionalisation based nano projects continues to develop well, and our planned delivery of the new HT1400 will not only give us additional capacity, but will also allow cost-effective material processing on a large scale that is critical for our ongoing commercial development in the major growth side of our business. We are also pleased to see the early signs of recovery in the aerospace market and wider cutting tools market and believe this augers well for the medium and longer term outlook for our US facility”.
