Trading Statement

Ubisense Group Plc (AIM: UBI) a leader in high performance Enterprise Location Intelligence systems, through its RTLS and mobility focused geospatial (myWorld) offerings, is pleased to provide the following trading update for the year ending 31 December 2016.

The Company showed continued good progress in terms of revenue growth, margins, cost management and order book, all of which are significantly better than those achieved in 2015. The increased focus on our RTLS software platform has paid off with the signing of a global software licence deal with a major automotive manufacturer. We also signed some significant new and extended RTLS product orders. In the geospatial division, we are seeing increased demand for myWorld services projects and new licence sales.

The Company expects to report a net cash positive position as at 31 December 2016, which has improved in January through significant debtor collections, and is in compliance with the banking covenants on its new HSBC facility.

Peter Harverson, Executive Chairman, commented:

"I am pleased with the results of the actions we have taken to improve the performance of the business in both divisions. I am also pleased to report that we appointed a new CEO, Richard Petti, in December 2016. With Richard's arrival, our priorities are to drive sales growth whilst maintaining a disciplined approach to cost and cash."

Richard Petti, CEO, said:

"Ubisense starts 2017 with a strong order book and good momentum. It's a very exciting time to join the company and I'm looking forward to working closely with the team to achieve further success in the coming years".
