LONDON (Alliance News) - K3 Business Technology Group PLC on Tuesday said its first half trading has been in line with its expectations, with a rise in sales on the back of new product launches.
The company said trading in the first half to the end of December was in line with its forecasts, backed by a rise in sales of around 20% year-on-year. The sales increase was driven by its new Microsoft Dynamics AX product, with the first sales for the product coming through K3's reseller channel in Europe, Australasia and North America.
In addition, the company has seen a rise in sales of its existing products, including SYSPRO and Microsoft Dynamic NAV, though it said it was still seeing weakness in the Dutch retail market.
The group said its net debt at December 31 will show reductions related to the collection of annual licence fees at the year-end. It said the strong trading at the end of the first half has resulted in working capital increases, which it expects will reverse in the second half.
K3 shares were up 3.2% to 216.75 pence on Tuesday.
