Emis Group PLC - Leeds-based healthcare software producer - Says revenue rises by 4.3% to GBP175.4 million in 2022 from GBP168.2 million in 2021. Recurring revenue rises 6.3% to GBP143.3 million from GBP134.8 million. Pretax profit increases by 7.8% to GBP38.9 million from GBP36.1 million.

Emis declares a final dividend of 21.1 pence, up 20% annually to 17.6p. This brings the company's full-year dividend to 38.7p, up 9.9% from 35.2p. Looking ahead, says confident of delivering full year expectations for 2023.
Chief Executive Officer Andy Thornburn says: "It has been another year of good progress for EMIS group."
