Full Year Trading Update

Mobile Tornado (AIM: MBT), a leading provider of mission critical mobile solutions to the enterprise market, announces a trading update ahead of the publication of its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are expected to be announced in April 2024.

Subject to completion of the audit, revenues for the six months to 31 December 2023 were approximately £1.04m with an approximate EBITDA loss of £0.12m. As a result, based on unaudited management accounts and subject to audit, full year revenues for 2023 are expected to be approximately £2.25m with an EBITDA* loss of approximately £0.26m.

The Directors are pleased to report that the Group's recurring revenues remained stable at approximately £1.96m (2022: £2.03m). Non-recurring revenues were approximately £0.29m compared to £0.22m in 2022. The Company's operating expenses remained stable at £2.41m in 2023 compared to £2.46m in 2022.

As detailed in the interim results announced on 28 September 2023, the Company has continued to strengthen its business development activities, building relationships with new partners across its key markets. For example, the Company recently executed an agreement to participate in the Ericsson Software Enterprise Partner Program, delivering value by enabling industrial customers to improve business critical communications and improve safety, reduce costs and boost productivity. A reseller agreement was also signed with The Barcode Warehouse, the UK's leading specialist provider of barcode technology, RFID (radio frequency identification), labelling and enterprise mobility solutions. The agreement will allow the Company's push-to-talk over cellular ("PTToC") platform, and workforce management technologies, to be made available to a wide range of sectors including education, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, retail and utilities.

The Board are committed to continued investment in business development activities and remain confident that these initiatives, commenced in early 2023, will drive increased partner activity across all key markets as the new financial year progresses. A further update will be provided when the Company reports its full year results in April 2024.
