Trading Update and Notice of Results

 

ServicePower (AIM: SVR), a market leader in field service management, is pleased to provide an update on trading for the year ended 31 December 2013.

 

As a result of securing several new contracts and client renewals during the year, ServicePower has experienced strong revenue growth of more than 25% year-on-year to approximately £14.0 million (2012: £11.1 million). The Company expects to achieve gross profit of £6.6m, EBITDA of £0.1 million including exceptional expenses in excess of £0.8 million, and a breakeven net income result including a foreign exchange gain of £0.3 million.

 

Cash strengthened in the second half of the year due to the contract renewal cycle and increased collection efforts. As such, the Board expects to report a net cash balance of approximately £2.7 million at the year-end (30 June 2013: £2.3 million), following repayment of £0.26 million of the Company's convertible debt in August (£0.37 million including accrued interest). Strong cash collection meant that cash balances increased to £3.4 million as of 17 January 2014.

 

Marne Martin, CEO of ServicePower plc, commented: "During 2013 we achieved our stated goal of securing a firmer financial footing from which to support ServicePower's continued growth. We have continued to invest in our product portfolio and increase our addressable market through enhanced geographic localisation and broadened functionality. While the deal and salary costs related to the acquisition from Stratix Corporation and the exceptional expenses related to transactions and organisational restructuring during the year did have an impact on profitability, we are pleased with the strong progress the Company made in 2013 and confident that the Company has entered 2014 from a position of strength with a stronger revenue base and improved growth prospects."
