Given July’s profit warning, Vislink’s interims this morning were never going to be pretty. H1’16 orders and turnover fell 21% and 15% respectively to £22.3m and £22.6m, reflecting ongoing difficulties at VSC (where sales dropped -18.5% to £17.2m) as broadcasters continued to divert budgets from infrastructure to content and transition to IP technologies (re delayed orders). Accordingly this pushed group adjusted EBIT to a loss of -£1.1m (vs £2.2m LY) - excluding £2.2m of forex gains which were credited to reserves - with net debt rising to £8.8m from £5.75m as at December. £1.9m of R&D was capitalised vs £1.6m of amortisation charged to the P&L.
