Trading update on YooMob Service and long-term receivable

 

SyQic plc (AIM:SYQ), a fast growing OTT provider of paid mobile video content across mobile and internet enabled consumer devices, is pleased to announce the following trading update in relation to the Group's core telco business, YooMob.

 

YooMob generated revenues of approximately £2.0 million (unaudited) in Q1 2012. Trading subsequent to that has been encouraging with combined revenues for April and May 2014 of just under £1.6 million (unaudited). The board anticipates that this upward trend will continue during the rest of the current financial year.

 

The growth in YooMob revenue has been primarily attributable to increased user take-up across all of the Group's telco service platforms. This increase is largely attributable to new content channels on the YooMob platforms showing new Korean hit series' and awards shows. SyQic has a rolling programme to add compelling video titles and content planned for the rest of the year.

 

The Group expects that performance in Q3 2014 will demonstrate further growth following the launch of a new Indonesian YooMob site with SmartFren on 9 June 2014. SmartFren is a leading Indonesian internet service provider. This is significant as it is the debut of the YooMob Plus technology platform which caters for the new generation of smartphones and delivers enhanced content. The Group anticipates further launches of the YooMob Plus Service in the coming months with both new and existing telco customers.

 

SyQic's major Indonesian telco customer PT Nextnation Prisma ("PTNP") has confirmed to the Company that 2014 billings will not be on a payment plan and will be paid much more promptly going forward. PTNP continues to adhere to the previously agreement payment plan for 2012 and 2013 revenues and all scheduled payments have been made. To date RM 4.8 million (approximately £902,000) has been received under the agreed payment plan and the debt is continuing to be paid down.

 

SyQic will be making a further positive announcement in relation to the Yoonic OTT service within the next few weeks.
