Unaudited Interim Results
Hydrodec Group plc (AIM: HYR), the clean-tech industrial oil
re-refining group, today announces unaudited results for the six
months ended 30 June 2017.
Financial highlights
-- Positive Group EBITDA of US$26k, the first positive trading
EBITDA generated by the Group since its inception and an
improvement of US$1.1 million on the prior year (H1 2016: US$1.1
million loss)
-- Revenues increased by 11% to US$9.0 million (H1 2016: US$8.1
million) driven by improved pricing and sales mix
-- H1 2017 gross unit margins up to 13% (H1 2016: 5%)
-- Significant reduction in corporate costs, falling to US$1.1
million from US$1.5 million (H1 2016)
-- Statutory loss for the period down to US$2.6 million from
US$5.3 million (H1 2016, including discontinued operations)
-- Operating cash outflow (before working capital movements)
reduced to US$0.2 million (H1 2016: US$2.0 million)
Operational highlights
-- Both US and Australian operations EBITDA positive in H1
-- Lower volumes reflecting a less active feedstock market in
the US particularly in Q2 - demand for products remains very
strong
-- Improving margins in the US business with increased
proportion of transformer oil (compared to base oil) sales (H1
2017: 58%) compared to H1 2016 (42%)
-- Significantly improved feedstock performance in Australia
-- First sale of carbon credits in respect of credits generated by production in 2013
Post period-end highlights and outlook
-- August provided best EBITDA month for US operation since
recommissioning of the rebuilt plant in 2015
-- Strategic initiatives around procuring additional US feedstock underway
-- Expectation of further margin improvements in the US heading into Q4
-- Agreement for "take or pay" arrangement with largest customer
in Australia providing a basis for a much-improved performance in
that business in H2
-- Confirmation of new patent for a further 20 years in the key US market
-- Environmental award from US EPA for Canton operation
-- Substantial growth in EBITDA expected in Q3 from Australian and US operations
-- While working capital continues to be closely monitored and
controlled, the Board is increasingly confident that the Company
will record positive EBITDA and cash generation for the full year
for the first time in its history
Chris Ellis, Chief Executive Officer of Hydrodec, commented: "I
am pleased to be able to report another positive step towards
making Hydrodec profitable and re-establishing its position in the
transformer oil market in our key operations in the US and
Australia. Whilst market conditions, and particularly the
availability of feedstock, remain highly competitive, both
operations are generating positive EBITDA and the focus remains to
continue to improve margins and profitability. Volumes and margins
in Q3 to date have shown further significant improvements on Q2 and
both operations are expected to generate substantially stronger
positive EBITDA in Q3. The latest commercial arrangements in
Australia will provide additional momentum heading into Q4. We
continue to seek to take advantage of any opportunities the current
market may yet present to grow the business within our existing
platforms and will be focused on deploying our technology into new
geographies and markets in the coming months."

Notes to Editors:
Hydrodec's technology is a proven, highly efficient, oil
re-refining and chemical process initially targeted at the
multi-billion US$ market for transformer oil used by the world's
electricity industry. MarketsandMarkets forecasts that the global
transformer oil market is expected to grow from US$1.98 billion in
2015 to US$2.79 billion by 2020 at a CAGR of 7.14% from 2015 to
2020. Spent oil is currently processed at two commercial plants
with distinct competitive advantage delivered through very high
recoveries (near 100%), producing 'as new' high quality oils at
competitive cost and without environmentally harmful emissions. The
process also completely eliminates PCBs, a toxic additive banned
under international regulations. Hydrodec's plants are located at
Canton, Ohio, US and Bomen, New South Wales, Australia.
In 2016 Hydrodec received carbon credit approval from the
American Carbon Registry ("ACR"), enabling its product to be sold
with a carbon offset and creating an incremental revenue stream.
The Group is now generating carbon offsets through the re-refining
of used transformer oil, which would otherwise ordinarily be
incinerated or disposed of in an unsustainable manner. This is a
highly distinctive feature for the Group, confirming (as far as the
Board is aware) Hydrodec as the only oil re-refining business in
the world to receive carbon credits for its output. This is a
significant endorsement of the Company's proprietary technology and
standing as a leader in its field.
Hydrodec's shares are listed on the AIM Market of the London
Stock Exchange. For further information, please visit

Chief Executive's Report
I am pleased to be able to report significant progress during
the period under review towards delivering the Company's key
objectives of making Hydrodec profitable and re-establishing its
position in the transformer oil market in our key operations in the
US and Australia.
Strategy
In the first half of 2017, we have taken further significant
steps forward to successfully reshape the Company in what continues
to be a highly volatile marketplace. Our strategy of refocusing on
the Group's market leading transformer oil re-refining technology
and business, and to grow that business to access an increasing
proportion of the US$2 billion plus global transformer oil market,
is being rewarded. The Board remains committed to strengthening
Hydrodec's footprint in the US and in the global transformer oil
market, where the Board believes Hydrodec has a competitive
advantage through its proven and market--leading technology.
However, from a personal perspective I am still to be satisfied
with the speed of our progress and remain hugely ambitious for the
Company and the opportunity to deliver fully on its technological
potential, with the award and sale of carbon credits only
reinforcing the unique offering Hydrodec possesses. With the full
support of the Board, I will continue to assess all opportunities
for internal and organic business growth as well as strategic
acquisition opportunities and partnerships if, and only if, they
are seen by the Board to add shareholder value. We will update
shareholders on the progress of these initiatives. In the meantime,
my focus remains on continuing to build upon the positive EBITDA
delivered for H1, through the continued improvement in volumes and
margins in both of our existing operations.

Operational review
USA
The focus for the first half of 2017 has been on key customers,
and strengthening the value of those relationships, as well as
optimising the performance of the Canton facility, through a
combination of leveraging the experience gained since fully
commissioning the plant at the end of 2015 along with implementing
specific targeted operating improvements identified at the
beginning of the year.
Total sales volumes in Canton in the period were 13.2 million
litres (H1 2016: 15.5 million litres), a reflection of the slower
feedstock market in the first half of the year along with the
effect of the stored inventory held at the beginning of 2016.
Importantly, the primary objective of improving the sales mix
between higher margin transformer oil and lower margin base oil
produced at the Canton plant has seen significant progress with
transformer oil sales representing 58% of sales (H1 2016: 42%).
Plant utilisation during the period averaged 61% (H1 2016: 65%) -
this indicates the spare capacity and potential for further
significant operational and financial improvement when the
feedstock position improves. Strategic initiatives in respect of
sourcing additional feedstock are underway.
Post period-end, Hydrodec of North America has been recognised
under the Ohio Environmental Protection Authority ("EPA")'s
Encouraging Environmental Excellence Program (E3) which commends an
organisation's exceptional achievements in environmental
stewardship. Specifically, Hydrodec's Canton, Ohio location was
congratulated by the EPA for its enhanced process recycling, energy
efficiency, improving process efficiency to reduce waste and
increased recycling, brownfield redevelopment, and upper management
commitment for ongoing environmental improvements. This award is a
tribute to the creativity and perseverance of our local team, the
application of Hydrodec's world class technology and the support
offered by our supply chain partner, G&S.
Australia
In respect of the operations in Australia, since the
commissioning of the plant at the Southern Oil Refinery in May 2015
we have made further progress in re-establishing our commercial
position. This has seen us win some notable feedstock opportunities
with additional ones in the pipeline. Total sales volumes in
Australia for the period were 1.9 million litres, a 45% increase on
the prior year. The focus remains on expanding the customer base
and increasing the proportion of transformer oil sales.
Post period-end, we reached agreement with our largest customer
to convert to a "take or pay" arrangement. This is a key award for
the business and provides us with a robust sales forecast going
into Q4.
Market background
In the US, the general rebalancing of inventories has led to
some recovery in pricing. Demand for our product remains strong
while the general environment for feedstock remains competitive
with lower quality producers blending into other grades of oil.
From an environmental perspective this is disappointing, but in the
long term continuing to pursue wider relationships with utilities
will address this issue. Whilst the Group has been successful in
improving margins we will continue to be challenged as we seek to
gain recognition for the quality of the product we produce.
In Australia, market demand and margin remain relatively stable
and the key to margin and volume improvement will be based around
leveraging the quality of our product to increase sales of
transformer oil into the key utilities.
Financial review
Revenues from continuing operations increased 11% to US$9.0
million (H1 2016: US$8.1 million), driven by improved pricing and
sales mix. The Group sold 15.1 million litres during the period, a
decrease of 10% on the corresponding period in 2016 reflecting the
less active feedstock market in H1, particularly in the US. Of the
volumes sold in the period, 52% represented transformer oil (H1
2016: 40%) and 48% was base oil (H1 2016: 60%), with margins
steadily improving since the beginning of the year.
There has been a key focus on the reduction of overheads and
corporate costs since 2016. Significant reductions have already
been realised and the benefits from more recently implemented
initiatives have been realised in the period under review. These
savings are reflected in the reduction in administrative expenses
from US$3.9 million to US$3.4 million as highlighted below.

----------- ----------- ---------
Group EBITDA from continuing operations improved from US$1.1
million loss (H1 2016) to US$26k positive. The total loss for the
period was US$2.6 million (H1 2016: US$5.3 million, including
discontinued operations).
Operating cash outflow (before working capital movements)
reduced to US$0.2 million (H1 2016: US$2.0 million). The improved
performance resulted in working capital inflows of $0.6 million (H1
2016: outflow US$2.4 million). Total net cash inflow in the first
six months of 2017 was US$47k compared to a US$0.2 million outflow
in the prior year comparable period. Overall, the Group held US$0.2
million in cash on its balance sheet at the end of the period and
retained approximately US$0.4 million headroom under its working
capital facilities provided by Andrew Black, a Director and the
Company's largest shareholder. As previously announced, these
facilities are repayable on 31 December 2017, however Andrew Black
has provided the Company with an option to extend the repayment
date to 31 December 2018. Any such extension of the loans would be
at the sole discretion of the Company and on commercial terms to be
agreed between the parties at the time.
The amount of working capital required by the Group's operations
continues to be closely monitored and controlled, and forms a key
part of management information. While the improving operational and
financial performance has led to the recent and forecast positive
EBITDA position, the Group remains reliant on the operations
continuing to operate positively going forward.
Risk management process
The Group has policies, processes and systems in place to help
identify, evaluate and manage risks at all levels throughout the
organisation. Risks are regularly reviewed and monitored by
business unit or functional management teams. The executive team
review the major risks across the Group on a quarterly basis to
ensure that the management of these risks has appropriate focus.
The Board review these at least twice a year.
The principal risks that could potentially have a significant
impact on the Group in the future are set out on pages 11 to 13 of
the 2016 Annual Report. The continued successful operation of
Canton and Australia is the key performance imperative for the
Group. The Annual Report can be downloaded at www.hydrodec.com.
Outlook
Today's results confirm further significant progress in the
turnaround of the Company over the first half of the year. Our key
objective during the rest of the year is to strengthen margins,
grow market share and seek to leverage the recent carbon credit
agreement signed in the US, whilst continuing to focus on cost
reduction and efficiencies. Volumes and margins in Q3 to date have
shown further significant improvements on Q2 and both operations
are expected to generate substantially stronger positive EBITDA in
Q3. The Board are increasingly confident that the Company will
achieve positive Group EBITDA and cash generation for the full year
for the first time in its history.

HYDRODEC GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2017
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
This report was approved by the Directors on 22 September
2017.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
principles of International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the EU ('Adopted IFRSs').
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are
presented in United States dollars ('USD') as the Group's business
is influenced by pricing in international commodity markets which
are primarily USD based.
The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company's
shares are admitted to trading on the AIM market.
The current and comparative periods to June have been prepared
using the accounting policies and practices constant with those
adopted in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2016, and with those expected to be adopted in the Group's
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2016 have
been extracted from the statutory financial statements for that
period which carried an unqualified audit report, did not contain a
statement under sections 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006
and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The financial information contained in this report does not
constitute statutory financial statements as defined by section 434
of the Companies Act 2006, and should be read in conjunction with
the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2016. This report has not been audited by the Group's auditors.
During the first six months of the current financial year there
have been no related party transactions that materially affect the
financial position or performance of the Group and there have been
no changes in the related party transactions described in the last
annual report.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern
basis, which assumes that the Group will have sufficient funds to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The principal risks and uncertainties of the Group have not
changed since the publication of the last annual financial report
where a detailed explanation of such risks and uncertainties can be
found.
