Trading Update
Positive momentum heading towards year end, exceeding revised
guidance
Somero(R) provides the following update on trading for the
current financial year, ending 31 December 2020.
The Board is pleased to report that as a result of positive
trading momentum from the end of H1 2020 continuing through H2
2020, it now expects to exceed its previous reinstated expectations
for FY 2020. In the 9 September 2020 interim results statement, the
Company reinstated guidance for FY 2020, indicating revenues were
expected to approximate US$ 75.0m, adjusted EBITDA was expected to
approximate US$ 19.0m, and ending net cash was expected to
approximate US$ 20.0m. Based on the strong, profitable trading and
healthy cash generation in H2 2020, the Board now expects FY 2020
annual revenues will approximate US$ 80.0m, adjusted EBITDA will
approximate US$ 21.0m, and ending net cash will approximate US$
26.0m.
The improved performance has been led by healthy trading in an
active US market, strong contributions from new products -
particularly the SRS-4 and the recently launched Broom + Cure(TM) -
and an increase in revenues from the SkyScreed family of products
due to an easing of job-site restrictions in H2 2020. The strong
cash generation in H2 2020 is a direct result of effective working
capital management and healthy cash collections. Performance in the
Company's non-US markets, and the remaining products in the
Company's portfolio, are tracking generally in line with previous
expectations.
The Company expects to provide a further update on FY 2020 in
January 2021 consistent with prior years.
