Ideagen PLC (AIM: IDEA), a leading supplier of Information Management Software to highly regulated industries, today provides an update on trading for the six months ended 31 October 2017.

The Board is pleased to report that trading has remained strong in the first half of the financial year and expects to report revenue and adjusted EBITDA* significantly ahead of the same period last year with an underlying organic revenue growth of approximately 12%. The Company continues to trade in line with market expectations for the full year to 30 April 2018.

Cash generation in the period was strong and the Company maintains a robust balance sheet with no debt. The cash balance at the period end was £5.9 million (30 April 2017: £4.8 million). 

David Hornsby, Chief Executive Officer of Ideagen, commented: "I am pleased to report yet another strong start to Ideagen's financial year. Our core markets are strong and underpin the demand we have seen this half. Cash generation has been excellent and the Group has seen further growth in its recurring revenues and repeat business.

The market opportunity remains large and long term and given the Group's position as a leader in the Governance, Risk and Compliance market, the Board is optimistic about the Group's continued growth prospects."
