TIDMHHC RNS Number : 9717P Hexagon Human Capital PLC 02 April 2009 Date: 2 April 2009 On behalf of: Hexagon Human Capital plc ('Hexagon', the 'Company' or the 'Group') Embargoed until: 0700hrs Hexagon Human Capital plc * Trading Update * Termination of offer talks Hexagon Human Capital plc, (AIM: HHC), the Senior Interim Management and Executive Search consultancy, is today issuing a trading update in respect of its financial year ended 31 March 2009. Early indications of performance for the full year suggest that Net Fee Income (NFI) will be in the region of GBP22m and EBITA not less than GBP5.9m. Trading conditions in the second half of the financial year have been more difficult than in the first half. However, through our market leading position in the senior interim management market and diligent cost management we have continued to convert NFI to EBITA at a premium level of 27% for the full year. After three consecutive quarters of year on year growth, NFI for the quarter ending 31 March 2009 is anticipated to be below that of the quarter ending 31 March 2008. The majority of this shortfall arises from the Group's executive search businesses, whilst Hexagon's senior interim management business, which accounts for 64% of Group EBITA, remains robust with NFI being broadly in line with the comparable quarter last year and enquiry rates remaining stable throughout the year. The Directors believe this, coupled with the cost reduction initiatives implemented across the Group, puts Hexagon in a strong position for the future. During the year we have also substantially strengthened the Group's balance sheet through the reduction of bank debt by GBP1.1m (from GBP10.0m to GBP8.9m) and the reduction of deferred consideration liabilities by GBP8.7m (from GBP15.0m to GBP6.3m). Through prudent cash management, settlement of deferred consideration obligations and the restructuring of the Group's bank facilities via the issue of Convertible Loan Notes to Barclays early in the new financial year, as approved at the Group's General Meeting on 6 March 2009, we will be providing further strength to our balance sheet. On 17 February 2009, the Board of Hexagon announced that it had received an unsolicited preliminary indicative approach from a third party that may or may not lead to an offer being made for the entire issued share capital of the Company. The Board can confirm that these discussions have not resulted in a proposal which was capable of being recommended to shareholders and accordingly these discussions have now been terminated. The Company expects to release its preliminary results for the year to 31 March 2009 during the week commencing 22 June 2009. Jonathan Wright, Chief Executive Officer of Hexagon Human Capital, said: "Given the challenging global economic environment, we are delighted with the Group's performance. The economic outlook continues to look challenging in the short term but given our strength in senior interim management and our diverse portfolio of international executive search businesses we remain optimistic about the medium term."
