Totally swings to half-year profit despite market challenges

Wed, 06th Nov 2024 14:37

(Alliance News) - Totally PLC on Wednesday reported a swing to interim profit as it maintained its full-year guidance.

The Derby, England-based provider of healthcare and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland reported a 25% decline in revenue in the half-year to September 30 to GBP41.7 million from the GBP55.8 million a year prior. It was an outcome in line with board expectations.

However, the AIM-listed firm swung to a modest pretax profit of GBP5,000, from a loss of GBP1.9 million the previous year, despite continued wage pressures serving as a drag.

Totally confirmed six new contracts valued at GBP7.5 million during the period, all of which will be realised within the current financial year. A further 14 were renewed at a total value of GBP19 million.

Cost of sales for the firm fell 25% to GBP34.5 million from GBP46.1 million a year prior, helping its bottom line.

Totally reported a reduction in gross cash for the interim period, down 18% to GBP1.4 million from GBP1.7 million.

In line with last year, Totally did not propose an interim dividend.

Its half-year results follow on from the renewal of its rolling credit facility last week for a further two years at GBP3.5 million.

The firm acknowledged the continuation of "significant challenges" in the healthcare market going forward, but expressed confidence in meeting its full-year revenue guidance of GBP85 million through a combination of a strong cost management culture and robust organisation

Totally Chief Executive Wendy Lawrence said: "The board has increased confidence in the near to long term prospects of the business, and we remain confident that the business is well-positioned for growth."

Shares in Totally are down 3.3% at 9.42 pence on Wednesday afternoon in London.
