DONEGAL INVESTMENT GROUP PLC
ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULTS FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
29 April 2021
Donegal Investment Group plc ('DIG') ('Company') ('Group') reports its interim results for the 6 months ended 28 February 2021.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
· The Group's Produce and Dairy segment delivered a reasonable performance during the first half of the year. Group revenue decreased by 11% (€3.2m) to €26.4m - with ongoing Covid-19 restrictions continuing to impact demand in our speciality dairy business while pricing in our seed potato business was marginally down on the prior year with segmental trading profit €2.6m, an increase of €0.2m on the prior period.
· Volumes in our seed potato business were broadly in line with the prior year while pricing and resulting margins remained tight.
· Speciality dairy, which trades under the NOMADIC brand, experienced expected lower demand due to the impact of Covid-19 mobility restrictions on the Food to Go category.
· Profit after tax was €2.5m an increase of €1.1 m on the prior year.
· Basic EPS increased by 48.3c to 82.60c.
FINANCIAL POSITION
· The Group's cash position, net of debt, was -€0.2m at half year end compared to a net position of €13.0m at 29 February 2020.
RETURN OF CAPITAL
· Following approval at the EGM on 26 August 2020, the Group completed the redemption of 799,223 ordinary shares of the Company at a price of €12.50 on the 1 September 2020. This resulted in a return of capital of €10.0m to our shareholders in the six months ended 28 February 2021. The Group currently has issued share capital of 2,895,958 with 67,168 of those shares held as treasury shares.
COVID 19
· The Group remains very mindful of short to medium term challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic and will continue to work to protect the interest of shareholders as well as providing a safe working environment for our employees.

H1 2020/21 Performance Review
The Board is satisfied with the first half performance of all businesses which has been delivered in a very challenging trading environment. Whilst turnover has declined as a result of Covid-19 restrictions, operating profit has been maintained for the first half of the year.
Produce and Dairy
Group revenue decreased by 11% (€3.2m) to €26.4m while segmental trading profit was €2.6m, an increase of €0.2m on the prior period.
As anticipated pricing in seed potato markets remained under pressure due to the excess availability of processing potato varieties as a result of Covid-19 restrictions on the Food Service segment. Our seed potato business is primarily focused on table potato varieties and as such the impact of reduced volumes in Food Service has been limited.
NOMADIC while impacted by the Covid-19 mobility restrictions on the Food to Go category benefited from the implementation of effective commercial and operational planning.
Finance
The Group's financial position remains positive with cash at bank (net of overdraft) of €0.4m at half year, notwithstanding the fact that the 6 months ended 28 February 2021 represents a near peak point in working capital requirements, due to the seasonal nature of our seed potato businesses. Remaining loans and borrowing at 28 February 2021, relate primarily to the capitalised value of leases.
Outlook
The group remains cautiously optimistic about the trading performance of our operating businesses for the second half of 2021.
With restrictions now easing in Great Britain and footfall starting to return to the high street, NOMADIC is confident that its full year plans for FY21 will be delivered and expect to deliver high double-digit growth again in FY22. While still mindful of short to medium challenges presented by Covid, NOMADIC is well placed to deliver on their mission to bring a little balance to everyday and have the platform to double in size again over the next 5 years.
Our produce seed potato business remains on track to deliver a satisfactory performance for the full year given trading conditions, but final outturn is dependent on performance of key markets in the latter half of the year.
Relative to the scale of its operations and its trading businesses the Group remains in a strongly capitalised position. The Group will continue to review all options available to ensure we continue to maximise long-term shareholder value.
AGM
The Board of Directors is currently reviewing options to convene an AGM over the coming months. The Board would favour the AGM taking place at a time which would allow our shareholders to attend as normal should the current restrictions be lifted.

Donegal Investment Group plc
Notes to the unaudited preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements
for the 6 months ended 28 February 2021
(1) Reporting entity
Donegal Investment Group Plc (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Ireland. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group as at and for the six months ended 28 February 2021 ("the interim financial statements") comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") and the Group's interests in associates.
(2) Basis of preparation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 August 2020 ('last annual financial statements'). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
The 28 February 2021 figures and the 29 February 2020 comparative figures do not constitute statutory financial statements of the Group within the meaning of the Companies Act, 2014. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 August 2020, together with the independent auditor's report thereon, were filed with the Irish Registrar of Companies following the Company's Annual General Meeting and are also available on the Company's Website. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Directors have reviewed the Group's business plan for the next 12 months which has been updated to reflect the ongoing impact of Covid-19 as currently understood and other relevant information and have a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, which is the functional currency of the Company and also the presentation currency for the Group's financial reporting.
The significant accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 August 2020.
(3) Estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied in prior impairment of trade receivables, in respect of the carrying value of goodwill , recognition of deferred tax assets, measurement of financial assets and liabilities.
Donegal Investment Group plc
Notes to the unaudited preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements
for the 6 months ended 28 February 2021
(4) Segment Information
IFRS 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.
Produce and dairy: The growing, sales and distribution of seed potatoes and organic produce, the manufacture, sale and distribution of dairy products and management of related property assets.
Information regarding the results of the reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment operating profit/(loss) as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group's CODM, being the Board. Segment operating profit is used to measure performance; as such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the Group's segments. Segment results, assets and liabilities include all items directly attributable to a segment. Segment capital expenditure is the total amount incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one accounting period.
