Revenues
Over the 19 month period, revenue is given a 33% increase compared to 2016. Looking at the 12 month period to 31 July 2018, revenue is established at 16,8 M€ which is a decrease of 18% compared to 2016. This continued trend is mainly due to the non-renewal of SAP solution contracts when they come to the end of contract. The revenues derived from the Hubwoo Business Network solution suite are robust.
Profitability
The Company recorded an EBITDA for the 19 month period of €6.1M (2016: €4.7M). The equivalent for the 12 month period to 31 July 2018 was €4.0M. This reduction compared to year ended 2016 reflects the decreased sales in the period, but is almost fully offset by the cost reduction programme implemented after the integration with Perfect Commerce in first instance then continued following the acquisition of the Hubwoo Group by the Proactis Group.
Net Earnings was €3.0M (2016: €1.2M) and was, in the 12 month period to 31 July 2018, €2.5M.
Cashflow
In the 19 month to July 2018, the Group‘s operating cash-flow was €3.3M. Capital investment remained strong, at € 2.9M, and focused on the Company’s strategic solution suite, The Business Network. The Group had positive cash balances of €4.4M at 31 July 2018 (31 December 2016: €4.1M).
