· Strong year-end cash of £5.8 million (2021: £6.7 million) reflecting positive operating cash offset by technology investments designed to support long term growth. The Company continues to be debt-free.

· Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation ('EBITDA') expected to align with market expectations of £1.5 million.

Revenue guidance for the 2023 financial year, as noted in the in the trading update of 1 September 2022, remains unchanged.

Giulio Cerroni, Chief Executive Officer of IXICO, commented: "The Company has delivered a strong close to the year as new contracts signed in the early months of 2022 initiate. The investments and adoption of our technology platform in new clinical trials enable us to continue to build our position as a trusted partner of choice to the global biopharmaceutical industry. Our expanded portfolio of advanced data analytics capabilities developed during the past year means we are well positioned to continue to build our order book. In particular, I am excited by positive developments occurring within Alzheimer's Disease, which I anticipate will create additional demand for IXICO's advanced AI analytics capabilities in 2023 and beyond."
