DXS INTERNATIONAL PLC
HALF YEAR REPORT
DXS International plc (“DXS” or “the Company”), the NEX Growth Market quoted healthcare information and clinical decision support systems provider today announces its half year report for the 6 month period ending 31 October 2018.
As stated at the AGM in 2018, DXS has continued to build a solid foundation, following previous NHS budget cuts and uncertainty, which has seen the following achievements:
- Released four new versions of our mainstay product - DXS Point-of-Care;
- Implemented Phase 1 of our new template version of DXS Point-of-Care;
- Launched Phase 1 of the DXS MyVytalCare app and in piloting stage - The DXS Call and Recall app, which automatically analyses a patient’s record and then communicates with the patient via the appregarding required health checks, medicine compliance, signposting to preferred services etc;
- Launched Phase 1 of DXS ExpertCare and in piloting stage - The DXS ExpertCare tool that reads a patient’s record and then makes medicine treatment recommendations to a prescriber ensuring that a patient is compliant with the best evidence treatment.
Considering that worldwide healthcare systems are in crisis with ageing populations, clinician shortages, and cash crises, we are confident that our forward planning and preparation during the past 7 years will see significant growth in revenue and profitability over the next four to five years which should result in major shareholder value.
During this half year of consolidation, our turnover grew by 5% and profits compared to the same period for the previous year grew from £27,000 to £70,000, even though we continued to invest heavily in R&D.
Although behind schedule, the new GPSoC 3 tender is underway and is expected to be completed within 2019. As stated previously, the NHS intend addressing the shortcomings of GPSoC 2 as well as extending the funding across all care, which will open new opportunities for DXS.
With much of our planned strategy in place for renewed growth, we are intent on building shareholder value by significantly increasing our revenue over the next 4-5 years and targeting an annual profit of £7 million by year 5.
In addition, our new products create the opportunity to expand into international markets and we currently have interest in China, India and South Africa. When one considers that China has 330 million people with hypertension with a relatively small number controlled, the opportunity for DXS Hypertension ExpertCare helping to improve control becomes evident.
The Board thanks you for your continued support and invites you to contact our CEO should you wish to discuss anything. We urge you to ensure that you are included on our circulation list of communications and to do so please contact our office on +44 (0)1252 719800 or send an email to info@dxs-systems.co.uk.
