Trading Update
Universe (AIM: UNG.L), a leading developer and supplier of point of sale, payment and on-line loyalty systems provides the following update on trading for the financial year to 31 December 2015.
As anticipated in our Interim Report, trading in the second half of the year has been significantly ahead of the first half. The Board currently expects turnover for the year ended 31 December 2015 to be broadly in line with the prior year and that adjusted profit before tax will be in line with market expectations.
Significant progress was made in 2015 in developing the product portfolio and securing new customers, leading to a number of roll-outs that are scheduled to start in the coming weeks. We remain encouraged by the Group's continuing development, including its increasing presence in the convenience store sector and the Board remains positive about the outlook for the current financial year.
