AGM Statement
Bytes Technology Group, one of the UK's leading software, security and cloud services specialists, is holding its Annual General Meeting at 14:00 (BST) today. Ahead of the meeting, the Board issues the following brief update on trading.
Since the release of the Group's full-year results on 23 May 2023, the business has continued to trade strongly, and we are seeing resilient demand and pleasing win-rates across both the corporate and public sectors. The Company has performed well across its key financial performance metrics, with percentage growth in Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit comfortably in double digits for the first four months of the financial year. Percentage growth in Gross Invoiced Income significantly exceeded the increase in Gross Profit as a result of a number of high volume, lower gross margin software wins in the period.
Neil Murphy, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"We're pleased with the progress we have made so far this year in executing against our strategy and continuing to expand our market share. Whilst we remain mindful of macroeconomic headwinds, these have not had a noticeable impact on our trading performance to date, and we are confident that our leading vendor partnerships and first-rate client service leave us well positioned to make further progress this year."
