Trading Update
PROACTIS Holdings PLC, the global specialist Spend Control and
eProcurement solution provider, is pleased to update the market on
trading for the six months ended 31 January 2017.
The Group confirms that results are expected to be in line with
expectations, with revenues for the six months ended 31 January
2017 up 36.3% to approximately GBP11.8m (2016: GBP8.66m). This
includes strong organic growth (excluding the part period impact of
the Group's acquisitions) of 13.4%. The Group signed 27 new names
(2016: 23) and the initial contract value, order book and pipeline
remain encouraging.
The Group continues to progress its strategy of automating trade
and relationships between its customers and their suppliers through
its supplier networking technology. The early adopter programme is
progressing well and providing informative data together with
commercial and operational know-how that will be invaluable as the
concept evolves to product.
On 16 November 2016, the Group completed the acquisition of
Millstream Associates Limited ("Millstream") for GBP15.5m as part
of its strategic objective to consolidate the fragmented
procurement technology market. Millstream is an earnings enhancing
acquisition that brings over 4,000 supply side customers to the
Group, along with strategically important central government
relationships on the buy side. Further to this, it offers excellent
cross-sell opportunities in both the short and medium terms. In the
c.10 week period since the completion of the acquisition,
Millstream has traded in line with expectations, delivering
approximately GBP1.05m revenue and GBP0.42m EBITDA.
The Company expects to report its interim results on 26 April
2017.
Tim Sykes, CEO Designate, commented:
"We are very pleased to report an excellent trading performance
during the period. Our revenue growth is strong and we are
particularly encouraged by the underlying organic growth achieved
in the current conditions.
"We are pleased to have completed the acquisition of Millstream
in November, and we are delighted with its financial performance
and contribution thus far. Millstream is the Group's fifth
acquisition in four years and continues the strategic objective of
consolidating the fragmented procurement technology market.
"The Group continues to develop its supplier networking
solution. The realisation of this concept is on-going and the
progress made has been substantial. We believe there is great value
in the solution and I look forward to providing an update on
further progress in due course. This, on the foundation of the
Group's organic growth and strategic M&A, positions the Group
well for the period ahead and we look forward to continuing to
deliver growth and shareholder value."
