Trading Update
Immedia (AIM: symbol: IME), a supplier of multi-media content and digital solutions for leading brands and global businesses, provides the following unaudited update on its performance for the year ended 31 December 2017 and the period up to this announcement: -
Introduction
Overall, our business has made considerable progress. The collective knowledge and skills-set has underpinned our ability to integrate, consolidate and strengthen the Group's product and service offering which, by the year end, has also afforded us greater marketing and client opportunities in our key target sectors. As we stated at the interim stage levels of new and existing client engagement remain high.
Trading
As a business we have experienced solid trading in 2017 evidenced through a mix of new contracts, organic growth and a full year's turnover from AVC Immedia. This has seen sales up c.36% over those reported for the 2016 financial year (2016: FYGBP2.6m). The uplift in revenue reflects the benefits of an enlarged Group offering as investment and initiative programmes start to feed through.
As a Board we have been very encouraged by progress, however 2017 fell short of management expectations, with December being weaker than budgeted. The shortfall in our trading expectations reflects the impact of delays to the commencement of certain projects that we had anticipated to start in Q4 2017 and subsequently contribute to our trading performance. Whilst the contractual delays are somewhat disappointing, the Board is confident that this is temporary, and we therefore expect this contractual revenue will come on stream during the course of our 2018 financial year and contribute positively to our future trading results. We will keep shareholders abreast of these contract developments as appropriate.
The growth in our business brought about by the AVC acquisition has resulted in time being invested in the careful consolidation and integration of this business to achieve optimal synergistic benefits and capitalise on the entrepreneurial and technical skills of the rebranded AVC Immedia operations. Significant progress was made in 2017, but the trading performance of our acquisition has been slower to materialise than we expected. The Directors remain optimistic however that the full benefit of integration, cost reduction and business development initiatives at AVC Immedia will be seen over 2018 and into 2019.
Financial position
The Group continues to have a healthy balance sheet and at the 2017 period end had no borrowings.
2017 trading performance & summary
The delays reported above coupled with the slower than anticipated financial performance of AVC Immedia will result in the Group reporting an increased loss before tax for the year ended 31 December 2017 which, subject to audit, is expected to be in the region of GBP600,000 (FY 2016: loss GBP184,372 HY2017: loss GBP188,225).
Nevertheless, despite this result, we have retained all existing clients and attracted new clients over the course of 2017. We remain confident in our strategy and will continue to develop our exciting and innovative business model, which we believe will see us broaden our offering and become 'partner of choice' for many leading brands.
Immedia Group enters the new financial year in good shape; we remain confident in our ability to further develop our activities in the UK and across Europe and the management team continue to be encouraged by the pipeline of opportunities and outlook for the business over the medium term.
Notice of 2017 results
The Company looks forward to updating the market and shareholders further on trading and progress when it announces Immedia's preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2017, currently scheduled to be released in mid-April 2018.
