Pre-Close Trading Update
Β
NetDimensions (AIM: NETD), a provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems, provides a trading update following its 31 December 2010 financial year-end and ahead of entering its close period.
Β
The Company reports that:
Β
Β·; Revenue increased substantially during the year
Β·; The Board expects the revenue increase to be ahead of market expectations
Β·; Profit before tax is likely to come in substantially below expectation due to costs relating to the scaling up of existing teams, acquisitions and the settlement of a patent infringement claim in the United States
Β·; The Company maintains a healthy cash position at US$6.0 million and still has no debt
Β·; At 31 December 2010 rates, the cash position equates to 15.4p in cash per share
Β
CEO Jay Shaw commented: "2010 was an eventful year for NetDimensions. We continued to grow revenue whilst investing heavily in the future of the business. Buying both BP-Tech, a U.S.-based sales and services company, and our reseller Intellego's distribution rights business in the UK, allowed us to put part of our cash to work and should provide a strong, exciting platform from which to take the Company forward in 2011, which we believe will increase our market footprint.
Β
"In addition, settling the patent lawsuit will allow us to focus on growing the business rather than on litigation.
Β
"We believe these moves, along with our recent Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise license approval in China, will increase our potential to generate more revenue and improve profits in future."
Β
NetDimensions will announce full-year results in April 2011.
