Half Year Trading Update

Bytes Technology Group, one of the UK and Ireland's leading software, security and cloud services specialists, is pleased to provide the following update on trading for its financial half year ended 31 August 2023 ("H1 FY24").

The Company continued to trade strongly during the first half of the financial year with notable year-on-year growth in Gross Invoiced Income. This was achieved alongside continued growth in Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit, both growing comfortably in double digits. This reflects BTG's continued market share gains in both corporate and public verticals.

Our net cash position at the end of H1 FY24 was £51.3 million, after paying £30 million of final and special dividends in the period. Cash conversion in the first half reflects our normal weighting to the second half, with strong cash conversion expected for the full year.

BTG expects to release its half year results for FY24 on 25 October 2023.

Neil Murphy, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We continue to demonstrate the strength of our business model by again delivering double digit growth amid challenging macroeconomic conditions. The positive start to our financial year, coupled with ongoing investment in our operations, positions us well for the rest of the year."
