Trading Update
Significant forward visibility
eg solutions plc (AIM: EGS), the back office optimisation software Company, is pleased to announce an update on trading for the six month period ended 31 July 2015.
The Board is pleased to report that the Company's first half performance continues to support market expectations for the full year to 31 January 2016. Forward visibility for the full year is at a stronger level than at the same time last year and, as at 31 July 2015, the Company's order book of multi-year contracts, to be recognised over the next 3-4 years, had also increased to £15.5m (2014: £13.0m).
Following the placing in January 2015, the Company has invested significantly in its operational sales and marketing as well as accelerating product development. As a result of this investment, two new products; eg forecastingTM and eg mobileTM, will be launched in London at The View from The Shard on 23 September 2015.
The Company expects to report revenues of approximately £3.6m for the six month period ended 31 July 2015, an increase on the £3.1m underlying revenues (excluding one-off deals) for the equivalent period in 2014, and a loss before tax of approximately £0.3m reflecting the investments undertaken since the placing. On 31 July 2015, the Company had a cash balance of £3.1m.
The Company will provide further details with its interim results for the six months ended 31 July 2015 on Wednesday 23 September 2015.
Elizabeth Gooch, Chief Executive Officer of eg solutions, said:
"We are pleased to be reporting continued growth in line with the plans we outlined to shareholders at the time of the placing.
"Our newly strengthened sales and marketing teams are performing well and we are confident that the Company is well placed to capitalise on the significant market opportunity available to it. The significant enhancements to our product suite will ensure that we remain at the forefront of the back office optimisation software market.
"With an increased order book, a strong pipeline and robust Board and management team, we look forward to the remainder of the year with confidence."
