Trading Update

14 January 2015 - Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in automated revenue integrity solutions for the US healthcare market, provides an update on trading for the six months ended 31 December 2014.

The Group is pleased to announce it has seen a further 10% increase in total value of contracts signed in the six month period ended 31 December 2014 compared to the same period last year. In accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy the majority of revenue and margin resulting from these sales will be recognised over future periods, adding to the Group's long term visibility of revenue under contract.

The Group expects to report an increase of at least 10% in adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended 31 December 2014 compared with the same period last year and a modest increase in recognised revenue, in line with management's expectations. With increased revenue recognition in the second half of the year to 30 June 2015 arising from contracted sales made in prior periods, together with continuing positive sales momentum, the Board is confident in meeting market expectations for the full year.

Keith Neilson, CEO of Craneware plc commented, "The continuation of a strong sales performance, supporting ongoing growth, that increases in future periods, gives management confidence in its ability to deliver increasing stakeholder value through this year and in the future."
