Trading Update

Kainos Group plc (KNOS), a leading IT provider, operating across two specialist business areas, Digital Services and its Workday Practice, today issues a trading update for the period from 1 April 2020 to date.

Further to the 27 July 2020 trading update, trading in the period continues to be resilient across both business areas, supported by long-term customer relationships and diversified revenues across customers, end markets and geographic regions. As such, the Company expect results for the full year ending 31 March 2021 to be in line with consensus forecasts.

Growth in Digital Services continues to be driven by demand within the NHS and Public Sector, where we continue to demonstrate our strength as a key supplier in the UK Government's digital transformation programme.

Within the Workday Practice, we continue to benefit from the geographic spread of the business, securing significant new consulting contracts nationally and internationally. Smart, our Workday automated testing platform, continues to win new clients and drive very strong growth.

Notwithstanding this strong performance, a robust pipeline and significant backlog, we remain mindful of the current economic disruption caused by Covid-19. We maintain a close dialogue with our customers and partners, and continue to pay careful attention to the impact that Covid-19 related disruption may have on them.

The announcement of our results for the six months ending 30 September 2020 will be made on Monday 16 November 2020.
