CEO Alan Calder owns 27% and 42p was the fund raise from 2022
Alan Calder, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Our revenues, including recurring and contracted revenues, all grew strongly. Despite inflationary pressures on our operating costs, we continue to achieve improvement in gross margin.
"In addition to the two certainties of life - death and taxation - there is now a third: cyber attack, be it of corporates or individuals. The jump in cyber-crime insurance premiums is testament to the growth of cyber criminals' capabilities and scale. Despite the current challenging economic environment, for finance teams and boards to short-sightedly throttle back on cyber security investments is tantamount to an act of self-harm. It is not a question of if but when all organisations are attacked by cyber criminals, and so the services GRCI provides are of critical importance.
"We continued to invest heavily in our higher-margin and faster-growing SaaS and e-commerce businesses, both in people and systems, which we expect to underpin our profitable growth in H2 and the following financial years. We continue to trade in line with market expectations."
