Final results timing update

Utilitywise, the leading independent utility cost management consultancy, announces an update to the timing of the announcement of its full year results for the year ended 31 July 2017.

On 12 October 2017, the Group announced that further additional work was being carried out in respect of its year-end results and that it expected to announce those results on 21 November 2017.

As part of its audit procedures, the Group's external auditor, BDO LLP, has now requested that the Group obtains additional advice from an independent accounting firm in respect of the Group's estimation methodology for expected consumption levels on live contracts. As a result of this request, the Board has now appointed a third-party accounting firm to carry out that additional review. It is anticipated that the additional review will conclude in early December 2017.

Accordingly, the Group's year-end external audit process will not be completed before 21 November 2017 and, therefore, the year-end results will not be announced on that date.

A further update will be given, regarding a revised announcement date for the year-end results, once the independent review has been completed.
