Year-end trading update
Escher Group Holdings plc (AIM: ESCH, "Escher" or "the Group"),
a world leading provider of outsourced, point of service software
for use in the postal, retail and financial industries, publishes a
trading update for the year to 31 December 2016.
-- Group adjusted EBITDA* is expected to be in line with market expectations
-- Strong cash generation throughout 2016 resulted in Escher
achieving a small net positive cash position at year end (net debt
at 31 December 2015: $2.7m)
-- Progress continued in developing subscription and maintenance
revenues. Recurring revenue streams represented approximately 50%
of turnover in 2016. Licensing revenues will continue to be uneven
and difficult to forecast, as most postal customers require one-off
licensing agreements.
Escher expects to publish its full year results in the week
commencing 6 March 2017.
Liam Church, Escher's Chief Executive, commented:
"Major customer deployments in 2014 and 2015 created recurring,
cash-generating, revenue streams which underpin the results in 2016
and going forward. We also arrived at a net cash-positive
position.
"Looking forward, the tendency of major customers to look to us
as a trusted adviser to accompany them in the evolution of their
businesses, should allow us to continue to build further our
recurring revenues."
* Operating profit before, depreciation, amortisation, share
based payments and exceptional items.
