Blancco Technology Group PLC
Trading Update
Full Year Results expected to be above expectations, driven
primarily by increasing industry tailwinds of sustainability and
governance
Blancco Technology Group PLC (AIM: BLTG, "Blancco", the
"Company" or the "Group"), the industry standard in data erasure
and mobile lifecycle solutions, is pleased to provide the following
trading update for the six months ended 31 December 2021 ("H1
FY22").
Following on from the significant growth experienced in the
second half of the previous financial year, Blancco has continued
to benefit from the growth drivers of sustainability and
governance. Accordingly, Blancco has achieved strong growth in
revenue in H1 FY22, above the board's expectations, despite the
strengthening value of Sterling. IT Asset Disposition ('ITAD') has
seen particularly pleasing revenue growth as a result of pent up
demand unwinding as businesses return to offices where there is
redundant equipment, combined with a longer term trend of companies
seeking more sustainable solutions to the management of IT
equipment as ESG considerations become increasingly important for
everyone.
Blancco has converted a number of new business opportunities
during H1 FY22 and continues to benefit from a strong pipeline,
which has further strengthened during the period. Revenue and
pipeline generated with channel partners has also increased
significantly in the period.
The operational gearing inherent within the business, combined
with continued cost savings, have resulted in anticipated operating
margins for H1 FY22 increasing significantly. As a result, adjusted
operating profit, adjusted EBITDA and cash are all expected to be
comfortably above the board's expectations.
Matt Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Blancco, commented:
"We are delighted to be able to report growth in revenue, profit
and cash above expectations, demonstrating that the quality of
Blancco's solutions, which combined with significant structural
growth, are leading to visible and growing value creation for our
shareholders. The tailwinds of sustainability and governance
continue to drive positive behaviours among our customers which we
fully expect to create long-term demand for our market leading
solutions."
Unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December
2021 will be announced on Tuesday 22 February 2022. A briefing for
analysts will be held at 3.00pm GMT on the day of results via
conference call. Please contact Buchanan at blancco@buchanan.uk.com
