Trading Update & Notice of Results
Tracsis plc, a leading provider of software and technology led products and services for the transportation industry, is pleased to provide the following trading update for the six months ended 31 January 2015.
Group trading in the first six months of the financial year is ahead of the previous year and in line with the Board's expectations, with all parts of the Group performing either in line with or ahead of expectation.
Revenues for the six month period are expected to be in excess of £11m (H1 2014: £9.8m) and adjusted EBITDA and statutory PBT ahead of the same period last year (H1 2014: £2.8m and £2.3m respectively). Cash balances at the end of January 2015 were c. £10m (July 2014: £8.9m, Jan 2014: £7.6m) and the business remains debt free.
The Group's activities in North America are progressing to plan. Notably, we continue to work with our first US Class 1 railway for adoption of our remote condition monitoring technology along with pursuing a number of other opportunities.
Datasys, which was acquired in May 2014, has made a strong contribution to the Group in the period supported by high levels of recurring software revenue. In addition, the Group continues to appraise a number of acquisition opportunities against its strict investment criteria and has a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities.
The Board is confident that the Group is on track to deliver full year results in line with market expectations. The Group's Interim results will be released to the market on or around Wednesday 15th April.
