Chairman's statement
Revenue
During the half sales increased by 16%, reaching a record level of £17.5m, with all parts of the Group performing well. During the comparable period (H1 2021-22) there were two events that distorted our reported growth:
· in the UK a release of £0.9m of Brexit inventory into hospitals, a sale that we had recorded a year earlier which had been held in a dedicated warehouse by the NHS; and
· our discontinuation of several low growth product lines, from which sales totaling £1.5m were recorded last year, which were not repeated this year.
Removing these distortions, the underlying growth was 21%:

Tristel and Cache
Notwithstanding the distortions, both key segments of the business have returned to a positive growth trajectory, with an increase of 20% in Tristel Medical Device products and 13% in Cache Surface products.
We have increased our prices to hospitals in response to global inflation. Of the increase in revenue of £2.4m, £1.8m relates to additional volume and £0.6m to pricing, which reflects a 4% global price rise.
The product rationalisation which took place in the corresponding period last year has achieved the key objective of sharpening our focus on our core hospital market. The benefits have been the elimination of products that were in sales decline and releasing operational and corporate resources to activities with high growth potential.
Other
This revenue derives from carriage, and products which are complementary to the Company's key strategic focus on infection prevention, some involving third party collaborations.
Profits and margins
Gross margins have remained steady at 81% (2021: 80%), in line with expectations.
Sales, general and administrative expenses of £9.5m (2021: £8.7m) have increased by 9%, reflecting the general inflationary environment and the recruitment of an additional 18 staff to accelerate our product development, sales, and marketing activities. Consequently, personnel costs have increased by 13%. Other cost increases include packaging (50%), plastics (24%) and chemicals (128%). Whilst utility costs have increased by 60%, our manufacturing process is largely manual, which provides us with some protection from cost pressures caused by the energy crisis.
Reported Group profit before tax increased by 300% to £2.4m (2021: loss before tax of £1.2m), and Group profit before tax and share-based payments increased by 41% to £3.1m (2021: profit before tax, share-based payments and impairment of intangibles of £2.2m).
Earnings and Dividend
Earnings per share (EPS) were 3.19p, a significant improvement from the loss per share of 2.08p last year.
EPS adjusted for share-based payments of £0.7m (2021: £0.9m) and impairment of intangibles of £nil (2021: £2.4m) was 4.65p (2021: 4.97p). The fall in adjusted EPS relates to a higher effective tax charge in 2022 of 37% (2021: 16% credit). The effective tax rate on operational results alone for the period is 21%. Both the current and deferred tax impact of the Group's share option plans increase the overall effective tax rate for the period to 37%.
The share-based payment charge of £0.7m is derived from the Group's All-Staff share option scheme (£0.5m) and the Executive Management LTIP scheme (£0.2m). The All-Staff scheme is valued via the Black-Scholes model. The Executive Management scheme which is linked to share price and profit targets, is valued via the Monte Carlo method. The Board believes that these share schemes help to retain staff and link their interests to shareholders. The value of share-based payments is significantly influenced by the volatility of the Company's share price, a factor that is out of the Board's control. As a consequence, profit and earnings are reported on both an adjusted basis, adding back share-based payments, alongside unadjusted, so that the underlying profitability of the Company can be understood.
The Board is recommending an interim dividend of 2.62 pence (2021: 2.62 pence) to be paid on 11 April 2023. The associated ex-dividend date will be 16 March 2023 with a record date of 17 March 2023. The dividend pay-out will be held at its current level of 2.62 pence interim and 3.93 pence final, until the Group's stated dividend policy of two times EPS cover can be reinstated without a reduction in dividend per share.
North America
We have made our first sales in North America and have continued preparation of the additional data requested by the FDA for our De Novo submission. This will be lodged in March on time and within deadline and we are hopeful of a positive response in June.
Outlook
We are pleased to see the level of sales and profit growth that characterised Tristel in the decade up to 2020 returning and look forward to continuing growth in the second half, in line with expectations.
We remain optimistic for the Company's future, and if our FDA submission is approved this will add a new dimension to the Company's future ambitions - a challenge that we are ready to meet.

Accounting Policies
The interim report is unaudited and has been prepared on the basis of IFRS accounting policies.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this unaudited interim financial report are consistent with the most recent annual financial statements being those for the year ended 30 June 2022.
The financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 has not been audited and does not constitute full financial statements within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial information relating to the year ended 30 June 2022 does not constitute full financial statements within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. This information is based on the Group's statutory accounts for that period.

These financial statements have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
| 2 | Segmental Analysis
|
Management considers the Company's revenue lines to be split into two operating segments, which span the different Group entities. The operating segments consider the nature of the product sold, the nature of production, the class of customer and the method of distribution. The Company's operating segments are identified initially from the information which is reported to the chief operating decision maker.
The first segment concerns the manufacture and sale of medical device decontamination products which are used primarily for infection control in hospitals. This segment generates approximately 84% of the Company's continuing revenues (2021: 81%).
The second segment which constitutes 10% (2021: 10%) of the business activity, relates to the manufacture and sale of hospital environmental surface disinfection products.
A third segment comprises carriage and third party collaborations which are complimentary to the Company's core strategic focus on infection prevention.
The operation is monitored and measured on the basis of the key performance indicators of each segment, these being revenue and gross profit, and strategic decisions are made on this basis.
The Company's centrally incurred administrative expenses and operating income, and assets and liabilities, cannot be allocated to individual segments.
