----------

IG Design Group PLC - consumer gift packaging business - For nine months to the end of December, revenue rises by 35% year-on-year to USD737 million, mainly due to the acquisition of CSS Industries Inc, first announced at the start of 2020. However, revenue excluding CSS is 9.2% lower. Due to the CSS addition, adjusted pretax profit for the nine-month period is higher than the year before. Looking ahead, IG Design's full year outlook remains in line with market expectations, as ongoing restrictions create continued uncertainty.

----------

FireAngel Safety Technology Group PLC - Coventry-based fire safety products firm - For 2020, sales expected to be down 12% year-on-year at GBP39.9 million from GBP45.5 million, due to the operational and market disruption caused by Covid-19, as well as delays on making progress in its Connected Homes strategy. However, noted strong recovery in second half. Looking ahead, company applies for increased Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme to provide further headroom and support revenue growth.

----------

Proteome Sciences PLC - drug development services provider - For 2020, expects posttax profit of GBP30,000, up from GBP20,000 the year before, on revenue that remains unchanged from GBP4.6 million the prior year.

Looking ahead, company expects further growth in TMT and TMTpro.

----------

Anexo Group PLC - Liverpool-based legal services provider - For 2020, expects adjusted pretax profit to be in line with market expectations, as revenue growth beats company expectations as group remains operational throughout national lockdowns. In 2019, adjusted pretax profit was GBP23.1 million, on revenue of GBP78.5 million. Average number of vehicles on road in 2020 set to beat that of 2019, due to record numbers reached in second half of 2020.

----------

Inspiration Healthcare Group PLC - West Sussex-based medical technology company - For the year to the end of January, due to a strong performance from recent acquisition and ventilator designer SLE Ltd, expects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of at least GBP4.9 million, on revenue of no less than GBP36.5 million. For the year before, Ebitda was GBP2.1 million, on revenue of GBP17.8 million.

Looking ahead, company expects 2020 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation at USD5.6 million, down from USD6.4 million the year before. This is on revenue that is set to be around USD30 million, compared to USD30.3 million in 2019, and annual recurring revenue that is expected to rise to USD18 million from USD15.9 million. For 2021, ARR visibility is at USD22 million
