Trading Update

RNS Number : 4880I
IMImobile PLC
26 March 2015
 



For immediate release 26 March 2015

IMIMOBILE PLC

("IMImobile" or "the Group")

Trading Update

 

In line with expectations for 2015, well positioned for 2016

 

IMImobile PLC, the global technology company which provides software and services to help businesses on the growth in mobile communication, is pleased to announce the following update ahead of its preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2015. The Group has experienced strong trading for the year with trading in line with market expectations. New contract wins and growth in recurring revenues achieved during the year position the Group favourably for further growth in future periods.

Highlights

· Strong year on year organic gross profit growth from Europe of over 25%

· Growth in recurring revenues from MEA with new significant contract wins and deployments positioning the business well for FY16

· Multiple new managed solution and licence contract wins in India & SEA which will impact the FY16 results

· TextLocal acquisition bedding in well and performing as anticipated. Expansion plans progressing well

Europe

The strong performance from the Europe region, which represents approximately 50% of group revenues, reported in the interim financial statements has continued in the second half of the year. Top line and profit growth has been achieved through both a rise in recurring and professional services revenues and from a mix of expansion from existing customers and new customers in the year.

The TextLocal acquisition has added to the strong performance of the European business and has been successfully integrated into the Group. Progress is being made towards the expansion plans envisaged at the time of the acquisition.

MEA

Growth in the managed solutions area of the MEA region has partially offset the anticipated year on year decline of the exceptional licence revenues reported in the previous year. A mix of new deployments and contract wins in the region as well as a significant sales pipeline positions the business well for continued growth in FY16.

India & SEA

The managed solution declines in the India region which were reported at the interim results have reduced as expected throughout the second half of the year, and have been partially offset by growth in the SaaS business, where multiple opportunities for growth exist. Several contract wins during the second half of the year, a mix of managed solutions to operators and licence deals, will all contribute revenues for the coming year.

 

 

Outlook

The Group begins the new financial year on track to achieve the growth expectations in the market supported by a strong pipeline of deployments which will contribute to revenues during FY16. The Board remains confident of a strong trading year ahead, with the Group remaining well positioned to take advantage of consolidation opportunities across the industry.
