Trading Update for nine months ended 30 September 2013 and full year trading outlook
October 10, 2013 - The Board of Telit (AIM: TCM), a leading machine-to-machine wireless technology company, is pleased to provide a trading update for the nine months ended 30 September 2013.
Telit's revenues for the 3 months ended 30 September 2013 were $62.5 million (3 months 2012: $51.4 million), which represents a quarterly growth of 21.6%, compared to 2012. For the nine months ended 30 September 2013, revenues were $171 million (9 months 2012: $150 million), which represents a year on year growth of 14%.
The revenues for the nine months ended 30 September 2013 include, for the first time, $4.8 million from m2mAIR, Telit's Platform as a Service (PaaS), the Company's value added, connectivity and cloud platform services business unit. This business unit was empowered by the recent acquisition of ILS Technology LLC, a leading provider of a ready-to-use, off-the-shelf, cloud platform to connect enterprise IT systems to m2m-connected devices and machines for business-critical use. This acquisition is anticipated to provide Telit with access to additional value added services and customers, granting Telit an even broader footprint in the m2m value chain. Telit's PaaS opens new opportunities to expand our services offering to small and medium m2m customers worldwide, widening our market advantage and will support Telit's recurring revenue strategy.
The Board continues to expect that trading for the full year 2013 will be in line with market expectations.
