Post-close trading update

Pebble Beach Systems Group plc, a leading global software business specialising in solutions for playout automation and content serving customers in the broadcast markets, today announces a trading update ahead of the publication of its interim results later this month.

The Company is expected to achieve H1 revenue of around £3.9 million (2017 H1: £4.6 million) despite unsettled market conditions during this period of technology and commercial transition, coupled with delayed timing of order intake in H1 2018.

The Board is confident of improvements in H2, with an increased backlog of £4.7 million at 30 June 2018 and a growing pipeline, bringing the full year revenues marginally below FY17.

The Company fully expects to deliver improved profitability as a direct result of the restructure undertaken throughout 2017 and H1 2018.
