-- Monitise's FY 2016 results confirm substantial improvement in operating figures in the second half
-- FINKit(R)3, our new business unit which enables banks and financial services organisations to transform their
digital services, launched during the year generating initial revenues in the second half of FY 2016, and
received a positive response from current and potential clients and partners
-- Full year revenue of GBP67.6m declined 24.7% compared to the prior year as anticipated but stable half-on-half
and in line with previous guidance
-- Monitise reported half-year EBITDA profitability of GBP0.6m in the second half of the year in line with previous
guidance
-- Cash flow stabilised with positive cash from operations in the second half, and cash usage down 84% compared to
the same period in FY 2015
-- Improved transparency with disclosure of revenue and EBITDA of six business units including the new FINKit(R)
business
Monitise CEO Lee Cameron said: 'In my first year as CEO we have
made substantial progress in making Monitise a more stable and
simpler business which is well positioned to achieve profitability.
At the EBITDA level we recorded a small profit in the second half
of the year. Our restructuring has halved operating costs in the
second half of the year and reduced headcount by 41 per cent
compared to a year ago while maintaining our high client service
levels and launching our FINKit(R) digital banking and financial
services product.'
Monitise Chairman Peter Ayliffe said: 'The past year has seen an
unprecedented amount of change throughout both the business and the
Board. However, I am pleased to report that the outcome is a
business which is much better managed, and much more appropriately
structured for successful longer-term profitable growth based on
its business unit focus, FINKit(R) platform and associated
capabilities.'
Outlook
Monitise expects FINKit(R) revenue to grow strongly, albeit from
a low base. As previously stated, overall Group revenue is expected
to decline, driven by the full year revenue impact of the
completion of professional services contracts during FY 2016. FY
2017 will benefit from the full year effect of cost savings made
during FY 2016. At 31 August 2016 headcount had further fallen to
469.
FINKit(R) represents a significant opportunity for Monitise to
establish long-term sustainable growth, and we will continue to
invest in developing that part of our business throughout the
current financial year. Overall, capital expenditure requirement is
expected to be lower than in FY 2016 and we will continue to
evaluate all the Group's assets to make sure that they remain
relevant to our strategy and add to our value.

Chief Executive Officer's Review
Upon my appointment as Chief Executive a year ago, I set the
company three key objectives: first, stabilise the business,
second, simplify the organisation and third, accelerate our
transition from a group of companies whose revenues have
historically depended on product licences, to one where prosperity
will be driven from sustainable income across all lines of business
and, in particular, from clients using FINKit(R), our new platform,
which enables banks and financial services organisations to
transform their digital services. Twelve months on, I am pleased to
report that we have made substantial progress in delivering the
first two, and I am very encouraged by the positive reaction of our
current and prospective clients and partners with regard to the
third.
We undertook a substantial corporate restructuring during the
year to simplify the business which enabled us to reduce operating
costs in the second half of the year by 45 per cent. when compared
to the first half. Our number of employees has decreased by 41 per
cent. during the period, while we have continued to maintain high
levels of service to clients and successfully launched FINKit(R).
It has been a significant period of change, especially for our
employees. The professionalism and dedication demonstrated by both
our current staff and those who are no longer with the Group has
been exemplary.
A simpler organisation enables greater transparency for all
stakeholders. It also allows us to identify each business unit and
empower their respective management teams to have responsibility
and accountability for their approved business plans. It is
important to me that our external financial reporting reflects the
clarity we have established internally to allow all stakeholders to
track each business' performance. You will find detail on the
financial performance of each business unit in the Operations and
Financial Review below.
Most importantly for the future prospects of Monitise, the final
objective was to accelerate the transition of our business model
and make a success of FINKit(R). This is not wholly in our control
and is dependent on clients and partners working with us. Whilst it
is taking longer than we had anticipated to conclude long-term
FINKit(R) contracts, we have recorded our first FINKit(R) revenues
from clients in the second half of the year and I remain confident,
due to the positive engagement we have had with clients, that we
will be able to report our first contracts in the near future.
The market need for the services offered by FINKit(R) continues
to grow, driven by the requirement of our clients to find ways of
delivering their customers' digital needs quickly, cost effectively
and securely. Regulatory changes also exert pressure on our clients
to adopt new ways of serving their customers as they comply with
new standards. We are in daily dialogue with banks who have
expressed a need for capability that can be delivered by FINKit(R).
I am also encouraged by the support and level of validation we have
received from our strategic partner, IBM, in helping us bring
FINKit(R) to the market.
FINKit(R) builds upon the expertise and reputation that Monitise
has established over the last decade by offering components of
capability, infrastructure and the environment that allow banks to
work with Monitise and our FinTech partners to create their own
customer propositions.
We have achieved a great deal over the past 12 months and have a
clear vision of what still needs to be done but we remain a
business in transition.

Overview
The year ended 30 June 2016 has seen a significant restructuring
of the organisation, including headcount, property requirements,
and the Group being managed as six separate businesses, each
working under a plan to achieve, or improve, profitability. This
business structure was put in place in the second half of the
fiscal year and Monitise now reports revenue and EBITDA for each
business segment. FY 2015 estimate comparative figures are
provided.
Revenue EBITDA

Central/unallocated (10.7) (6.0) (19.9) (10.4)
Total 89.7 67.6 (41.8) (19.6)
-------- -------- -------- --------
The restructuring has been undertaken in a phased approach,
starting with identification of the optimal organisation structure.
This was followed by the structuring of each of the business units
identified in a planned approach to attain profitability in a
reasonable timescale, whilst structuring the businesses in a manner
that provides flexibility in their cost bases to take account of
future changes in activity.
This restructuring is in its final stages with activity
continuing to ensure variability of cost in our core Europe and
Americas delivery organisations.
The results of the first two phases of the plan have been
realised in the second half of the financial year reflecting a
GBP20.0m reduction in costs by comparison to the first half, and
resulted in EBITDA of GBP0.6m for the second half compared to a
loss of GBP20.2m in the first half.
Prospectively, we anticipate the business unit structure to
evolve as the operational management of the Group changes to
reflect the development of FINKit(R).
Business Segments
Americas
The Americas business has seen a reduction in revenues and
EBITDA loss as a result of our decision to cease selling perpetual
licences to customers, the loss of some customer contracts taken
in-house, and reduced revenue from fixed price contracts signed in
the prior year, primarily in relation to software version upgrades.
Action is being taken to ensure that our cost base is adaptable to
activity levels, which will enable an improvement in the
profitability of this business despite the full year negative
impact on FY 2017 revenue.
Europe
The European business has seen a reduction in revenues year on
year due in part to the decision to change our business model
leading, as expected, to a reduction in licence revenue from
GBP9.9m in FY 2015 to GBP1.1m in the current year, and due to the
completion of some large loss-making development projects. Despite
this decreased revenue base, the EBITDA losses of the business have
declined reflecting the restructuring that has taken place, the
ending of a number of the large FY 2015 loss making development
projects, and reduced resource activity in the second half of the
year in relation to a fixed revenue partner relationship. In FY
2017 the action to ensure our cost base is more variable with
activity will offset the impact of revenue reduction as a result of
the full year impact of the projects completed in FY 2016.
FINKit(R)
In FY 2016, we saw the FINKit(R) business record its first
revenues as clients signed up to paid testing of the platform. The
costs in FY 2015 reflected the costs of a team managing the initial
design and build of the offering and developing the proposition.
This team was extended throughout FY 2016 and further investment
was made to continue the development of the platform and
capabilities as the organisation prepares itself to take on
operational clients.
Monitise Create
The Create business is going through a transformation with a new
management team and a relaunch planned for later this calendar
year. Revenues in FY 2015 benefited from GBP7.0m of Monitise
originated work, both supporting the Group and its clients largely
through professional services projects, which reduced to GBP1.5m in
FY 2016. A key driver of this reduction is the changing business
model of Monitise. In addition, external revenues in FY 2015 were
GBP7.5m compared to GBP4.2m in FY 2016, driven in-part by fewer new
business wins in FY 2015 impacting the flow through of business
into FY 2016, and the management transition in the first half of FY
2016. As a result of the reduction in revenues the business has
incurred EBITDA losses of GBP1.2m in the year to 30 June 2016, as
opposed to EBITDA profits of GBP1.8m in FY 2015.
Monitise MEA
The MEA business performed well in the year increasing revenues
from GBP7.3m to GBP8.1m. EBITDA in FY 2016 of GBP1.1m was
consistent compared with FY 2015 of GBP1.1m. Through the year the
business has continued to broaden its customer base in the Gulf
region and Turkish markets obtaining new clients. MEA continues to
provide technology and engineering support to other Group
businesses.
Monitise Content
The Content business saw strong progress with growth in revenues
and profit in the year with a major contributing factor being the
overall growth in visits (57% year-on-year) to the UK voucher
business - myvouchercodes.co.uk.
The business saw further success with a number of initiatives
including a modification of its search engine marketing techniques
resulting in a positive uplift of keyword rankings within search
engines that consumers use to search for retailers' offers.
Additionally, positive investment in developing retailer
relationships to secure rights to drive more traffic through
investment in building a more engaged consumer base enabled the
business to grow visits to myvouchercodes.co.uk through CRM
initiatives.
With positive growth in the UK the business invested in its
international propositions and saw visit growth of 27% year-on-year
in the French market through codespromotion.fr and launched a
number of new international propositions.
Group
Central and unallocated revenue and costs
The Central/unallocated revenues represent the elimination of
intra-group revenues. The EBITDA reflects the level of central
costs which have declined from GBP19.9m in FY 2015 to GBP10.4m in
FY 2016. There was a material reduction in central EBITDA loss in
H2 compared to H1, driven by the cost-reduction efforts described
above.
Revenues
Revenues in FY 2016 declined by GBP22.1m from GBP89.7m to
GBP67.6m. The drivers of the decline in revenue were the Europe,
Create and Americas businesses. In Europe and Americas, the
decision to transition the business model led to an anticipated
fall in license revenues from GBP11.9m to GBP1.1m. A declining
market for our customised solutions led to a reduction in
Development and Integration revenue from GBP44.7m to GBP33.6m.
Create was impacted by the change in management and the Americas
business also saw a reduction in services revenues. This was offset
by an improvement in the Content revenue which was up from GBP6.9m
to GBP9.9m.
Gross Margin
The calculation of gross margin has been revised in the year to
include media costs in the Content business that are variable with
activity within cost of sales. These amount to GBP1.8m in FY 2016
and GBP1.1m in FY 2015 and were previously included in operating
costs. There was no impact on EBITDA as a result of this
reclassification.
Gross margin improved in the year from 50.6% to 57.5%. The
improvement in gross margin results from the increasing
contribution from our Content business, reduction in third party
cost of sales and the completion of the large fixed price
customised solution projects noted in last year's report.
EBITDA and Operating costs
The EBITDA loss in the year was GBP19.6m as compared to GBP41.8m
in FY 2015, with the company reaching EBITDA profitability of
GBP0.6m in H2 FY 2016. The significant improvement in EBITDA
results from the restructuring and cost reduction exercise
initiated towards the end of the first half of FY 2016. The
operating costs in FY 2016 were GBP58.5m, a reduction of GBP28.7m
from GBP87.2m reported in FY 2015. The reduction in cost for the
year was predominantly headcount related with people costs reducing
by GBP24.5m from GBP69.2m to GBP44.7m. Additional savings were made
through a reduction in property costs as less space is required and
a tightening of other costs generally.
In the second half of the year, benefiting from the
restructuring exercise, operating costs reduced from GBP37.8m in H1
FY 2016 to GBP20.7m in H2 FY 2016, a reduction of GBP17.1m.
Headcount as at 30 June 2016 was 500 by comparison to 850 as at
30 June 2015.
In addition to the activity to reduce costs initiated in the
first half of the year, during the second half we have continued
the restructuring programme with the objective of converting fixed
or semi-fixed costs of supporting our core Europe and Americas
delivery organisations into a more variable form. This will enable
the Group to further manage its cost base as existing long term
contracts reach their natural end.
Other costs
Depreciation and Amortisation
Depreciation was GBP2.8m in the year (FY 2015: GBP4.2m).
Amortisation in the year of GBP25.5m (FY 2015: GBP20.7m) includes
amortisation of acquired intangible assets of GBP21.2m, capitalised
development costs of GBP2.0m and purchased software licences of
GBP2.3m. The useful economic lives of acquired intangible assets
were reviewed in conjunction with the impairment review resulting
in reduced lives for some customer and technology assets and a
consequent increase in amortisation in the period to GBP21.2m (FY
2015: GBP11.7m).
Impairments
Impairments of GBP176.9m have been recorded relating to
property, plant and equipment GBP3.3m, goodwill GBP162.7m, customer
contracts GBP7.5m, and GBP2.5m of acquired technology and other
assets and GBP0.9m of investment in joint ventures, reflecting the
fact that no further investment is currently planned for the
Santander joint venture which is not operationally active.
GBP169.9m of these impairments were announced in the H1 FY 2016
results.
These impairments all relate to assets that do not drive
sufficient economic returns in the near term to support their
carrying values. The impairments reflect evolving market
conditions, growth prospects for certain platforms, and changes in
customers' approach to technology provision.
Share Based payments
The share based payments charge of GBP16.5m (FY 2015: GBP28.0m)
is largely comprised of earn-out share based payments relating to
the acquisitions of Grapple, Pozitron and Marko Media as well as
Group employee share option grants. The fall in the charge when
compared to FY 2015 is largely a result of options which lapsed as
a result of people leaving the Group.
Exceptional costs
A net charge of GBP3.5m for exceptional items has been taken in
the year (FY 2015: GBP34.2m). The make-up of the net charge is
summarised as follows:
FY
2015 FY 2016
GBP'm GBP'm
Exceptional
income - (6.9)
Onerous contracts 28.5 (3.2)
Surplus property costs 1.8 4.4
Contingent consideration
adjustment 1.3 -
Restructuring costs 4.5 8.7
Other (1.9) 0.5
--------------------------- ------ --------
Total 34.2 3.5
--------------------------- ------ --------
Exceptional income represents payments received following the
restructuring of customer contracts which are not anticipated to
recur. The credit in relation to the onerous contracts reflects the
settlement of some of the obligations recognised in prior periods
at amounts less than those provided. The surplus property provision
relates to provision for excess property following the reduction in
headcount in both the UK and US. The restructuring costs are the
costs relating to the reduction in headcount and the associated
activities to improve the variability of our cost base.
Loss before Tax
The Group reported a loss before tax of GBP243.1m compared to a
loss of GBP227.4m in FY 2015.
Tax
A tax credit of GBP9.7m was recorded in the year (FY 2015:
GBP3.9m) in both cases principally relating to non-cash movements
on the un-winding of deferred tax recognised in relation to
acquired intangible assets. The Group has an unrecognised deferred
tax asset of GBP79.0m which is available for offset against future
tax expenses in the companies in which these losses arose.
Statutory loss after tax
The statutory loss after tax for the year was GBP233.4m (FY
2015: GBP223.6m). The loss in the year is driven by an improved
EBITDA resulting from cost reductions across the Group, lower share
based payment charges and lower exceptional costs offset by higher
impairment charges.
Loss per share
The basic and diluted loss per share was 10.5p (FY 2015:
10.8p).
Cash flow and funds
The Group ended the year with gross cash balances of GBP42.1m
compared to GBP88.8m at 30 June 2015. A summary of the cash flows
are as follows:
FY 2015 FY FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2016 FY 2016

Total cash flow (18.2) (40.1) (58.3) (36.4) (12.0) (48.4)
-------- ------- -------- -------- -------- --------
The reduction in costs during the period has led to a
significant reduction in cash usage, in particular in the second
half of the year reflecting the impact of the restructuring. The
capital expenditure and in particular the capitalisation of
internal activity were much reduced in the year as the core build
of the FINKit(R) platform nears completion. In the future we plan
to focus our development primarily towards specific customer
requirements as opposed to generic builds, and hence would expect
future cash flow in this regard to be lower than prior periods. The
expenditure on exceptional items reflects both exit costs related
to staff reductions of GBP5.3m, payments in relation to onerous
contracts of GBP13.0m, and lump sum payments in relation to
settlement of onerous contracts of GBP4.1m, offset by exceptional
income of GBP6.1m.
Provisions
At 30 June 2016 the Group carries total provisions of GBP18.9m
(FY 2015: GBP29.9m). These provisions comprise GBP16.7m for onerous
contracts including provisions for surplus property and GBP2.2m in
relation to the remaining cost base reduction. Of these provisions
the restructuring costs are anticipated to be expended in FY 2017,
whilst the timing of the cash flows in relation to the onerous
contracts are subject to the timing of subletting or assigning
surplus property, and the results of our efforts to negotiate
settlements in relation to onerous supply contracts.

1. Basis of Preparation
The financial information presented in this Preliminary Announcement is extracted
from, and is consistent with, the Group's audited financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2016.
The preliminary announcement for the year ended 30 June 2016 was approved by the
Board of Directors on 7 September 2016. The financial information set out above
does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June
2016 or 2015 but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for 2016 will
be delivered following the Company's annual general meeting. The auditors have
reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified and did not contain a
statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Group's results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
Going concern
At 30 June 2016, the Group had cash of GBP42,089,000. The Directors have prepared
a cash flow forecast, including reasonable sensitivities, which shows sufficient
funding to see the Group through the forecast period. The forecast includes the
benefits from the cost savings which are being made from the business optimisation
programme, headcount rationalisation, exiting from non-core geographies and property
rationalisation. Furthermore, capital expenditure is expected to continue at the
substantially reduced level experienced during the year ending 30 June 2016 following
the development and launch of the new platform. This new platform is expected to
drive a new, higher margin revenue stream. The Directors therefore confirm that
they have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and accordingly
these financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
2. Segmental information
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities
from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses
that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. During the
year ended 30 June 2016, the Group changed internal reporting from one operating
segment to six. The operating segment's operating results are reviewed regularly
by the Board of Directors in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated
to the segment and to assess its performance.

The exceptional income relates to an amount received in respect
of a revision to a customer contract.
The charge for onerous contracts relates to those contracts
under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under
the contract exceed the economic benefit expected to be received
under it. In particular, obligations associated with a number of
contracts with a third party IT and business services provider have
been provided. Additionally, a number of restructuring activities
were undertaken which resulted in several onerous property lease
contracts.
Restructuring costs are associated with a number of
restructuring activities undertaken and principally relate to
redundancy and termination costs.
Adjustments to contingent consideration reflect the
recalculation of amounts owed to former shareholders of the
acquired businesses based on performance related criteria in
accordance with acquisition related contracts.
Strategic Review and corporate development costs related
primarily to professional advisor fees incurred in respect of
Monitise's review of its strategy and ownership structure announced
on 22 January 2015 and costs associated with a number of corporate
development projects.
The release of acquisition-related acquired liabilities relates
to the settlement of a number of historic patent claims associated
with the previous acquisition of Monitise Americas, Inc. (formerly
Clairmail, Inc.).
4. Loss per share
Basic and diluted
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss
attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number
of Ordinary shares in issue during the year. As the Group is
loss-making, any share options in issue are considered to be
'anti-dilutive'. As such, there is no separate calculation for
diluted loss per share.
Reconciliations of the loss and weighted average number of
shares used in the calculation are set out below:

The impairment charge relates to the write-off of leasehold
improvements associated with certain vacated property leases and
computer equipment which had become redundant mainly as a
consequence of the restructuring activities conducted. Fully
depreciated and impaired assets have been treated as disposals as
they have no residual value.

Impairment in the year
During the year the useful economic lives of intangible assets
were reviewed within the Group accounting policies. As a result, an
accelerated amortisation charge of GBP2,510,000 was recorded in
respect of Acquired Technology and GBP9,148,000 in respect of
Customer Contracts.
The Group has impaired intangible assets during the year
following indications that impairments were required. Impairments
comprise goodwill and other intangible assets relating to historic
acquisitions as well as previously capitalised software and
research and development costs where either these technologies or
geographies are no longer core to Monitise's future technology
strategy in the short term due to market readiness.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated at
acquisition to the cash-generating unit ('CGU') that is expected to
benefit from that business combination. The CGUs identified in the
current year are the same as those identified in the prior
year.
The carrying amounts of goodwill at 30 June, post impairment,
and the CGUs to which they are allocated, are as follows:

The additional provision for onerous contracts relates to those
contracts under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the
obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefit expected
to be received under it. These include provision for surplus
properties as a result of the reorganisations undertaken and
obligations associated with a number of contracts with a third
party IT and business services provider. Additionally, provision
has been made for the ongoing costs of closing the Group's Far East
investments and the finalisation of the restructuring
activities.
The release of provision related to the successful renegotiation
of onerous contracts which had been provided for in the prior
year.
