Haydale (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2020 (the ‘Period’ or ‘H1 FY2021’).

Financial Highlights

• Group Revenues of £1.28 million for the Period, 5% down on H1 FY2020;
• Sales of functionalised inks and graphene enhanced composites increased by 35% to £0.34 million on a like-for-like basis;
• Adjusted administrative expenses fell by 22% with a saving of £0.72 million on the prior half year;
• Adjusted operating loss for the Period reduced by 34% (H1 FY2021 £1.39 million vs H1 FY2020 £2.1 million);
• A reduction in Cash Used in Operations of £1.26  million or 50% on a LFL basis (H1 FY2021 £(1.26) million vs H1 FY2020 £(2.52) million);  and
• Cash at Period end of £1.88 million (30 June 2019: £2.70 million)

Operational Highlights 

• Agreement with Qinhuangdao ENO High-Tech Material Development Co., Ltd., to act as a sales representative for Haydale’s ceramic and silicon carbide products in China;
• Ahead of schedule on  the three-year exclusive agreement with iCraft announced in September 2020 with 0.4 tonnes being shipped by the Period end and further orders pending of 1.6 tonnes for H2 FY2021;
• Completed a successful trial of CeramycShield™, a ceramic surface treatment that utilises SIC to enhance and protect concrete assets, at a Central American water treatment facility;
• Commercial progress with elastomers now evident following first sale to Bolflex  of our functionalised nano-enhanced rubber masterbatch for use in its premium shoe range.  Follow up orders are scheduled for H2 FY2021; and
• In collaboration with a leading biosensor technology company, developed a next generation functionalised biomedical ink with improved analyte detection which enhances detection and the accuracy of diagnosis. 

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

"Whilst these results reflect a challenging Period, the operational changes and strategic progress made since 2019 and accelerated through the last nine months have put the Group in a stronger position to manage the impact of Covid-19.  As we project forward to a time beyond the pandemic, we believe our patented HDPlas® plasma process puts Haydale in a strong position to deliver functionalised graphene and other nano materials cost effectively, at a consistent quality and at industrial volumes”.
