HALF YEAR RESULTS
DXS International plc ("DXS" or the "Company"), the digital
clinical decision support company, is pleased to provide
shareholders with its unaudited interim results for the half year
ending 31 October 2021.
Financial Highlights
-- Revenue for the six-month period has held well at GBP1,618,439 (2020:
GBP1,716,424).
-- In line with projections, profit before tax is GBP21,427 (2020:
GBP150,556) and profit after tax GBP137,352 (2020: GBP224,825).
-- Cash on hand GBP543,000.
Results overall are in line with projections for the revised
strategy to capitalise on opportunities resulting from COVID
including increased investment in order to scale solutions aimed at
managing significant backlogs in "healthcare business as usual" and
the increased clinician shortage crisis. DXS has been investing for
growth over the past six months and is expecting to have a stronger
second half to the business, as it traditionally does and did in
the financial year to 30 April 2021.
Operational Highlights
-- CompleteCare templates and toolkits well received in early pilots,
providing much needed solutions in managing healthcare backlogs in areas
such as medicines monitoring, cancer care, mental health and learning
disability.
-- ExpertCare hypertension pilots completed, confirming that only 50% of the
pilot patients are being managed in compliance with "Gold Standard"
treatment guidelines and that by using ExpertCare this immediately
improved to 75%.
-- Development of our new cloud based DXS Point of Care solution is
progressing well.
Reorganisation of the NHS Management Structure
The current 106 Clinical Commissioning Groups responsible for
the planning and commissioning of healthcare in their respective
areas, and responsible for approximately 60% of the NHS budget, are
being replaced by 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). These ICSs are
intended to bring about major changes in how health and care
services are planned, paid for and delivered, and are a key part of
the future direction for the NHS as set out in the NHS Long Term
Plan. Another major change for primary care has been the formation
of 1,250 Primary Care Networks (PCNs) each representing small
groupings of GP practices with registered patients numbering
between 30,000 -50,000.
One major opportunity this represents for DXS is that these
PCN's are mandated to utilise clinical pharmacists, a 70% NHS
funded reimbursable role, to conduct structured medicine reviews on
behalf of the GP practices. Our new AI medicines management
solution will provide an invaluable tool empowering these
pharmacists to manage complex reviews with minimal GP input and
help the NHS manage COVID backlogs and GP shortages.
Refined Strategy
Against this backdrop, we have refined our strategy by
accelerating our planned development of adding additional long-term
conditions, such as diabetes, to our new solutions, underpinned by
an aggressive sales and marketing campaign. Due to this increased
investment in growth, we expect profitability to decline in the
short to medium term resulting in an aggressive upward revenue and
profitability curve within 18 months.
David Immelman, Chief Executive of DXS said: "We remain resolute
in our conviction that our foresight and efforts into developing a
world beating expert long term condition management solutions is
100% aligned with the global strategy of digital transformation in
healthcare. This was again evidenced by the recent announcement of
the NHS commitment to digital transformation to merge NHS Digital
and NHSX with NHS England and Improvement.
We expect our suite of Expert AI Solutions to have a major
positive impact in the improvement of healthcare outcomes."
