Outlook
Post the year end the Company has experienced a continuation of prior year trends with low utilisation resulting in revenue and EBITDA being behind management forecasts for the year to date. Based on the current proposals book the Directors expect there should be an increase in revenues in the coming months. However, the Company continues to require careful management of available cash resources and the Directors expect additional financial resources to be required in order for the Company to successfully execute its growth strategy.
Commenting on the Group's results, Cathal Friel, CEO of Venn, said:
"The year to 31 December 2018 has been challenging for the Company with a need to closely monitor cash resources; a trend that continued into 2019, notwithstanding the cash realised from the recent disposals of investment assets. The new Board has taken a very prudent approach to all matters associated with the past performance of Venn and is comfortable that the Company now has a solid platform from which to move forward. We are optimistic that with the commencement of deferred projects and a new business focus on Rare and Orphan indications, as demonstrated by the proposed acquisition of Open Orphan DAC, that the business can return to revenue growth in the near term."
