Trading Update

i-nexus Global plc (AIM: INX), a leading provider of cloud-based Strategy Execution software solutions designed for the Global 5000, provides an update on trading for the year ending 30 September 2019.

At the time of the Interim Results, released in May, the Board anticipated an acceleration in sales in the second half of the year. While the Group has secured a number of new sales in Q3 and the pipeline of opportunities is large and growing, these have not converted at the rate required to meet the Board's revenue expectations for the financial year as a whole.

Due to careful planning around investment, the EBITDA for the year is expected to be in line with current expectations; however both Total Recognised Revenue and closing Cash balances will be below expectations. As at 30th June 2019, the Company had cash of £3.1m and the Board is comfortable that, with a continued focus on costs, the business retains sufficient funding to execute on its growth strategy.

Whilst the slower than anticipated rate of conversion is disappointing, the Board remains confident that the strategy being pursued by the Group is right to support the acceleration of growth anticipated in future periods. The increased size and experience of the sales team is driving a growing pipeline of opportunities and improving the proportion of upsell opportunities to existing customers. In addition, churn rates in Q3 have remained at the lower levels seen in Q2, as anticipated, as the investments in the Group's customer success team continue to bear fruit.

The Company will issue a Pre-close Statement for the year ended 30 September 2019 in the second half of October 2019.
