Scott Winner, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"2023 represents another year of revenue growth for the Group and encouragingly this has been generated from new customer wins on our Edify digital content distribution platform. New sales activity was weighted to the second half of the year but we successfully deployed 2 sites in the first half and commenced a further 4 in the second half of 2023. These multi-year deals accounted for approximately £0.5m of implementation revenues in 2023 and will drive our recurring revenue into 2024 and beyond.
Elsewhere in the business, I'm delighted to report the addition of 3 new customers onto our IP management platform. These deals are for music and media partners across the globe and add further momentum behind our expansion into adjacent vertical markets."
