Trading Update
LoopUp Group plc (AIM: LOOP), the premium remote meetings company, is pleased to provide the following trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
Highlights
Six months Six months to to 30 June 2020 30 June 2019 Year-on-year GBP million (unaudited) (unaudited) growth Revenue 31.9 22.3 43% Gross profit 22.8 15.0 52% Gross margin 71% 67% +400 BPS Adjusted EBITDA (1) 12.2 3.5 249% Adjusted EBITDA margin 38% 16% Cash 8.2 3.8 Net debt 5.4 11.5
1. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation, adjusted to exclude non-recurring transaction costs, exceptional reorganisation costs and share-based payments charges
-- H1 2020 revenue increased by 43% to GBP31.9 million (H1 2019: GBP22.3 million), driven by the large-scale migration towards working from home associated with Covid-19.
-- H1 2020 gross profit increased by 52% to GBP22.8 million (H1 2019: GBP15.0 million). Gross margins also increased by approximately 400 BPS to 71% (H1 2019: 67%), driven by particularly strong growth in our higher margin LoopUp Meetings and Event by LoopUp lines of business.
-- H1 2020 EBITDA increased by 249% to GBP12.2 million (H1 2019: GBP3.5 million), driven by the material increase in gross margin, as above, combined with a modest decrease in staffing and overhead expenses versus H1 2019. EBITDA margins more than doubled to 38% (H1 2019: 16%).
-- The Group ended H1 2020 with cash of GBP8.2 million (H1 2019: GBP3.8 million) and materially reduced net debt of GBP5.4 million (H1 2019: GBP11.5 million). This is prior to receipt of an expected R&D tax credit of approximately GBP1.3 million during Q3 2020.
Outlook
Although it is difficult to predict near term developments in working practices and business climate, and also noting that seasonal usage is naturally H1-weighted, we expect to exceed market expectations for the current financial year to 31 December 2020 in terms of revenue, EBITDA and cash generation.
Investor Event
The Group will hold a virtual presentation to provide an operational update on the business for analysts, retail investors and institutional investors - both existing and potential - at 10.30am on Wednesday 29 July. To register for this event, please visit: https://bit.ly/2CCI6R3.
