Executive summary

  • Revenue declined 10% year-over-year to £16.8m, mainly due to reduced one-off revenue from the shift to cloud-based SaaS solutions and prior large renewals in North America.

  • North America now represents 51% of group revenue, with 68% of its revenue cloud-delivered and 100% of new client wins for cloud deployment.

  • Group recurring revenue rose to 91% (from 83%), reflecting the ongoing SaaS/cloud transition and strong renewals.

  • Adjusted operating profit was £3.6m, down 10% year-over-year, but operating margin improved slightly to 21.6%.

  • A recommended cash acquisition by Eagle UK Bidco Limited (Bridgepoint) was announced, subject to shareholder and court approval.

Financial highlights

  • Gross profit was £14.5m, down 7% year-over-year, but gross margin improved to 86% (from 83%).

  • Adjusted EBITDA was £4.5m, down 8% year-over-year.

  • Net cash increased to £10.4m, up £3.2m year-over-year.

  • Basic EPS was 0.09p (down from 0.43p); adjusted diluted EPS was 0.95p (down 7%).

  • Total contracted business fell 39% to £14.9m, reflecting fewer large renewals.

Outlook and guidance

  • Second half expected to be stronger for new business wins, with a robust North America pipeline.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
