Chairman's statement

These results demonstrate continued success in the first half of the year.  With the winter months approaching, which bring high levels of uncertainty across all healthcare sectors, the Board is confident that the outcome for the remainder of the Group's trading year to 31 March 2022 will be in line with current consensus. This confidence is reflected in the Board's decision to increase the Group's dividend by 100% for the period.

 

Like all employers, we face challenges in filling vacancies at all levels. We remain committed to provide responsive service levels as part of our partnership with the NHS and as demand continues to increase for such services.

 

The Group enjoys a significant cash balance which has been broadly maintained since September 2021. The Group strategy is clear; we will accelerate the buy and build strategy that was implemented when the current management team was assembled some years ago. The Group is in advanced discussions with a number of bolt-on businesses that would strengthen our proposition and bring further earnings enhancing opportunities.

 

I would like to place on record my own personal thanks to the Totally workforce, who have faced enormous challenges during the extended pandemic. The ongoing achievement of strong results reflects significant effort and commitment from staff at all levels.

 

Bob Holt OBE

Chairman

Operational review

As the UK eased out of lockdown, Totally continued to support NHS colleagues and other healthcare providers with the delivery of exceptional healthcare for patients. During the last six months, demand for access to all healthcare services has remained high and Totally has assessed and treated more than one million patients during the period. We continue to operate under strict COVID-19 guidelines to ensure the safety of patients and our employees, and the challenges presented by the pandemic have certainly not gone away.

 

Yet against a backdrop of continued uncertainty, the Group's performance has been strong, with growth in revenue, earnings and cash. During the period we performed ahead of management expectations, positioning us well for a strong full year despite a more uncertain second half. We are now undertaking advanced planning to prepare for the increased demands of winter alongside rising levels of COVID-19 and the onset of seasonal flu.

 

During the first six months, we continued to work with NHS colleagues and other healthcare providers to ensure that the UK population could access quality health services when they needed them.

 

Urgent Care

A highlight of the period was the swift mobilisation of an Urgent Treatment Centre at King's College Hospital to ensure continuity of service for the 700,000 strong population of the London boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth. Totally was awarded this new contract in August 2021 following a full procurement process and subsequently mobilised the service in just eight weeks. It is already delivering enhanced performance for UTC patients whilst additionally diverting patients away from the busy Emergency Department into more appropriate services, enabling NHS colleagues to focus on those patients that only they can treat.

 

Reflecting the importance of continuity and recognising overall levels of performance achieved within contract delivery, during the period, the Urgent Care Division was awarded multiple contract extensions for the delivery of integrated urgent care, urgent treatment centres and other services across England, collectively worth £45 million. These contract extensions allow us to further strengthen our relationships with healthcare commissioners over extended periods, identify new opportunities to enhance patient care, and continue to provide millions of people with access to the healthcare they need during what could be an extremely difficult winter.

 

Insourcing

Totally Healthcare, the Group's Insourcing division, doubled revenue compared to the previous six months, reflecting the opportunity in the market and the strength of proposition. Insourcing represents a significant opportunity for growth for the Group and the division continues to win new contracts as hospitals seek to reduce patient waiting lists. The most significant contract won was for the delivery of endoscopy procedures for the Saolta Group of Hospitals in the Republic of Ireland, which will give access to essential procedures to facilitate diagnosis through additional surgeries outside normal working hours and at the weekend. 

 

Further contracts across multiple specialities have been awarded in Blackburn, Rotherham and Sheffield, across multiple clinical specialities, as demand for this type of service increases.

As we look forward to the second half of the year, Totally Healthcare is positioned well and is included on major national insourcing frameworks for England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland, as well as the local contract framework in Northern Ireland. As part of our commitment to providing the UK population with access to quality health services when they need it, we continue to assess how Totally can best support the NHS with the reduction of waiting lists. Waiting lists stand at an all-time high, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, yet demand for healthcare has outstripped supply for more than a decade and a multi-faceted approach will be required if they are to be reduced sustainably.

Planned Care

Planned Care, which includes the delivery of physiotherapy services in clinics, health centres and prisons across England, is now back to pre-pandemic levels. Face to face clinics have been reintroduced, including the full mobilisation of the new contract for Community Dermatology services for Manchester and Trafford CCGs. All services continue to operate under strict guidelines relating to COVID-19.

 

The experience of the last eighteen months has both challenged and provided opportunities for the improvement of healthcare. We have had to be innovative in the identification of new ways to deliver more flexible services under higher levels of constraints, and have maintained GOOD ratings on all CQC registered services. Despite the recognised uncertainties of winter, we remain confident that the business is well-positioned to meet future fluctuations in demand and the Group remains acquisitive, seeking bolt-on opportunities to strengthen and diversify our offering and deliver increased shareholder value. 

 

I would like to thank our team for their continued hard work and commitment to delivering exceptional care. Similarly, we thank our shareholders for their continued support, and look forward to updating the market on further progress in due course.

Notes to the Interim Results

 

1. Basis of preparation

 

Totally plc is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 (registration number: 3870101). The Company's ordinary shares are admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM").

 

The Group's principal activities in the period under review have been the provision of innovative and consolidatory solutions to the healthcare sector, which are provided by the Group's wholly owned subsidiaries, Totally Health Limited, Premier Physical Healthcare Limited, About Health Limited, Optimum Sports Performance Centre Limited, Vocare Limited, Greenbrook Healthcare (Hounslow) Limited, Greenbrook Healthcare (Earl's Court) Limited and Totally Healthcare Limited.

 

The Group's interim report and accounts for the six months ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared using the recognition and measurement principles of International Accounting Standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as per the annual report.

 

These interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as per the annual report. The interim report and accounts do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements.

 

The interim report and accounts have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation as set out in the Group's March 2021 Annual Report and Accounts and on the basis of the principal accounting policies that the Group expects to apply in its financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2022.

 

The interim report and accounts do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 November 2021. The results for the six months to 30 September 2021 and the comparative results for the six months to 30 September 2020 are unaudited.  The figures for the period ended 31 March 2021 are extracted from the audited statutory accounts of the Group for that period.

 

The Directors believe that a combination of the Group's current cash, projected revenues from existing and future contracts will enable the Group to meet its obligations and to implement its business plan in full. Inherently, there can be no certainty in these matters, but the Directors believe that the Group's internal trading forecasts are realistic and that the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate.

 

2. Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the effects of share options in issue.
