About Brickability
Brickability is a leading construction materials distributor,
serving customers across the UK for over 25 years through its
mainstream and local networks. The Company supplies over 300m
bricks annually and already has 25 sites and sales offices,
employing approximately 225 people throughout the UK. Across its
three divisions, the Group supplies bricks, roofing, heating,
flooring, doors and windows to meet UK housebuilder demand.
Brickability Group PLC
Chairman's Statement
Market conditions in new build housing remained stable
throughout the period (with some regional variation) and I am
delighted to report on a very active six months for the
Brickability Group which included its successful admission to
trading on AIM on 29 August 2019.
Following our successful IPO, the Group has been focused on
maintaining and building on its excellent customer and supplier
relationships. The Group has continued to pursue its stated aim of
making bolt-on acquisitions that are aligned with the Group's
strategy of adding to the Group's revenues while sharing the same
route to market and enhancing our geographic spread of operations
within the UK. During the period the Group has made four new
acquisitions increasing our distribution and product offering.
I am also pleased to report that the acquisition pipeline
remains strong and we are in discussions with a number of potential
businesses that would both enhance and broaden the Group's
operations.
It is our strong performance that underpins our first Interim
Dividend payment to shareholders of 0.87p per share.
Alongside our focus on trading and acquisitions, we have also
made great strides in developing and delivering Group-wide policies
on Health and Safety, Compliance and Sustainability, as well as
staff retention, training and development.
External consultants have worked hand in hand with our staff to
develop uniform Health and Safety Standards, while the introduction
of CSOP and LTIP schemes will assist both retention and recruitment
of key staff. The Group is also very active in ensuring that we
have first rate succession plans with options for filling key roles
as and when required.
The majority of the products distributed by the Group are
manufactured in the UK, while our towel radiators are primarily
sourced from Turkey. We import bricks, windows and doors from E.U.
countries and have in place detailed plans to continue to
distribute and indeed transport these products whatever form Brexit
may take.
This has been another successful period of growth for
Brickability in which we have achieved the significant milestone of
a public listing. I am extremely grateful to everyone in the
business for their continued hard work and dedication.

Chief Executive's Review
I am pleased to report increases in Group revenue, EBITDA, and
profit for the period. This reflects a strong UK housing market
into which the majority of our products are delivered.
Overall brick sales remain in-line with our expectations as
housebuilders continue to demand traditional bricks and masonry.
Our geographic coverage continues to grow alongside our supply
base.
Sales from our Heating and Plumbing division remain strong with
our customer list continuing to grow. Our products are mostly
sourced from Turkey and are paid for in sterling. Additional staff
have been employed to extend our offering into panel radiators and
associated products.
Our flooring distribution business, DSH Flooring Limited, is
growing quickly and while our geographic coverage is currently
local in its spread, the increase in the business's revenue since
acquisition in April is extremely encouraging and there are further
opportunities to grow the business.
Timber window sales remain at expected levels, while the
sourcing of a new supplier enables us to take advantage additional
business. Internal door sales opportunities remain limited as we
await the sourcing of further suppliers.
Roofing sales remain robust with order books stretching to over
a year, with long-term supply agreements on major housing
developments in place.
During the last six months, our acquisition strategy has added
four businesses to the Group. DSH Flooring Limited was acquired in
April, becoming our first business specialising in the distribution
and fitting of flooring. May saw the acquisition of The Bespoke
Brick Company Limited, our second specialist brick import
distributor. LBT Brick & Facades Ltd and Brickmongers (Wessex)
Limited were also acquired during this period, adding to our brick
distribution coverage in the North West and South Coast
respectively.
Acquisition opportunities exist in all of our product areas and
indeed we are exploring some in new product types that enjoy the
same route to market and end-use customer base that we believe
would add to the Group's strengths.
Lastly, we were very pleased that during the period we supplied
products that were used in the winning project of the 2019 Stirling
Prize (Mikhail Riches' Goldsmith Street Social Housing, Norwich
City Council).
We are confident of building on a strong first half and the
acquisitions made during the period are performing in line with
expectations. We have a healthy acquisition pipeline, the outlook
for our markets is positive and the board remains confident of
meeting full year expectations.
Looking ahead, the longer-term outlook for our markets remains
encouraging and we are pleased to see that all the main political
parties have made substantial commitments to build more houses.
Overall, the fundamentals for the housebuilding sector remain
strong which gives us confidence that we will make further progress
in the future.

Financial Review
Revenue and Gross Margin
The Group delivered GBP97.9m of revenue in the first six months
of 2019 (H1 2018: GBP81.7m), representing a total increase of 19.8%
(GBP16.2m). When the impact of acquisitions are excluded from
revenue, like for like ("LFL") revenue growth was up 4.8%.
Gross margins across the Group remained stable at 19.5% (H1
2018: 19.5%). Gross Profit for the 6 months increased to GBP19.1m
(H1 2018: GBP16.0).
Administrative expenses
There was an overall net increase in administrative expenses of
GBP1.5m across the Group primarily relating to the additional
overheads of acquired businesses and GBP0.1m additional central
overhead.
Exceptional items
Exceptional income in the period of GBP1m relates to an
insurance recovery under a keyman policy that paid out following
medical diagnosis. The person concerned has made a full
recovery.
The other exceptional costs relate to the IPO (GBP0.5m) and the
release of the loan arrangement fee provision following the
repayment of the term loan on listing (GBP0.3m).
EBITDA
The Group's adjusted EBITDA increased to GBP10.4m in the first
six months of 2019, compared to GBP8.7m in the same period last
year, reflecting the growth in the existing business and the four
acquisitions.
Operating profit
The Group generated an operating profit for the period of
GBP8.6m, compared to GBP7.0m in the prior period.
Interest expense fell slightly to GBP1.8m as the term loan was
paid off with proceeds from the IPO in August 2019.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share for the first six months is calculated on an
average of shares during the period which reflects both the pre IPO
debt and loan note structure as well as the number of shares in
issue pre IPO and is therefore not reflective of the expected
earnings per share going forward.
Earnings per share based on the number of shares at the IPO was
2.23p per share.
Dividend
In keeping with the Group's stated strategy at IPO and
encouraged by our strong first half performance, the Board has
decided to declare a maiden interim dividend of 0.87p per share to
shareholders on the register at 6 December 2019. The ex-date and
payment date for the dividend will be 5 December and 20 December
2019 respectively.
Cashflow
The Group generated operating cash flow of GBP2.2m in the first
six months of the year compared to GBP8.8m in the same period in
2018. The key reason for the large change in working capital was
due to the change in timing of the payment to major suppliers
(cGBP5m) from just after the month end to the month end and the
increase in net current assets from the four acquisitions
(cGBP2.2m). Importantly, the Group remains cash generative when
adjusted for the year end creditor position. For the 18 months
period ending 30 September, removing the timing difference of
creditor payments at 31 March, the cash conversion was 92%.
Balance Sheet
The net bank debt position as at 30 September 2019 was GBP1.9m,
a decrease of GBP17.9m from the 31 March 2019 position. This
mid-year decrease was due to repayment of the term loan from
proceeds of the IPO and GBP5.4m of investor loan notes of which
repayment was delayed until after 30 September 2019.
Post balance sheet events
In October 2019, the remaining GBP5.4m of investor loan notes
plus interest were repaid. Following this the Company has no
outstanding loan notes. There are no other material post balance
sheet events.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share for the first six months is calculated on an
average of shares during the period which reflects both the pre IPO
debt and loan note structure as well as the number of shares in
issue pre IPO and is therefore not reflective of the expected
earnings per share going forward.
Earnings per share based on the number of shares at the IPO was
2.23p per share. The number of shares in issue post the IPO on 29th
August 2019 is 230,458,821.

4. DEFERRED CONSIDERATION
Future deferred consideration falls due as follows: GBP2.9m in
the next 12 months and GBP1.1m after more than 12 months. Deferred
consideration payments due in relation to PVH Holdings Limited and
The Bespoke Brick Company Limited are linked to future
