Trading Update & Notice of Results
PROACTIS Holdings PLC, the global Spend Control and eProcurement
solution provider, is pleased to update the market on trading for
the year ended 31 July 2017.
The Group has delivered substantial commercial and
transformational strategic progress during the year and expects to
report:
-- Revenues of approximately GBP25.4m (2016: GBP19.4m), an
increase of 31%;
-- Adjusted(1) EBITDA of approximately GBP7.9m (2016: GBP5.3m),
an increase of 43%; and
-- Adjusted(1) Profit before tax of approximately GBP5.3m (2016:
GBP3.1m)
which are in line with consensus expectations.
Deal volumes have been at expected levels with 54 new name deals
and 110 up-sell and cross sell(2) deals.
Perfect Commerce LLC
The completion of the transformational acquisition of Perfect
Commerce LLC was announced on 7 August 2017. The Group is focussing
its energy on the integration process and synergy realisation and
the Board is pleased to report that GBP1.4m of annualised cost
savings have been realised to date. The Board remains confident
that this will increase to GBP5.0m by the end of the current
financial year.
Notice of Results
The Group intends to release its preliminary results for the
financial year ending 31 July 2017 on 11 October 2017.
Note 1: Adjusted for non-recurring administrative expenses and
share based payment charges.
Note 2: A cross sell deal is where the Group sells a solution of
an acquired business into its existing customer base or vice
versa.
Tim Sykes, Chief Financial Officer commented:
"Our core business has demonstrated strong organic growth and a
solid rate of new business wins during the year. Furthermore, our
capability to sell more into our existing customer base, which is a
key element of our strategy going forward as we seek to leverage
the customer bases that have been acquired historically, is
performing well with up-sell and cross-sell activity at new, record
levels.
I am pleased that we have sustained this rate of growth
alongside the Group's strategic progress through the acquisitions
of both Millstream Associates Limited during November 2016 and,
more recently, the transformational acquisition of Perfect Commerce
LLC, which completed during August 2017.
I relish the opportunity that the Perfect Commerce LLC
acquisition provides the Group and I look forward to realising the
opportunities that the business combination provides."
Hamp Wall, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"PROACTIS has delivered an excellent performance during the year
prior to its acquisition of Perfect Commerce LLC. This gives me
great confidence for the future prospects of the Group as we look
to combine two individually strong businesses and deliver our
strategy over the coming months and years. I believe the
acquisition positions us to exploit the high growth areas of the
spend management market and enables the business to provide our
customers with an even broader product offering."
