In a way even the in line revenues were a positive, because in the interim statement in August, they did say that there could be am impact on revenue recognition but to the benefit of recurring revenues, so a change in there licence order model.

Worth noting that license orders were very strong in last quarter.

Excellent update!! I agree. One thing could better that they would exceed revenue

Trading update issued today

At the time of the interim report issued in August 2016 we reported encouraging continued progress of the Company, and reiterated the positive shift in the momentum of the business that had started the previous year. We are very pleased to report that this continued to translate into a strong performance in the second half of 2016, driven by a large number of license orders in the final quarter, including substantial activity with major enterprise customers. In addition to the effect of the stronger sales performance, the profitability of the business was further enhanced by cost efficiencies over the course of the year, and to a lesser extent by foreign exchange gains linked to the sharp fall in Sterling.

As a consequence, the Board expects that reported revenues for the year ended 31 December 2016 will be in line with current market expectations. The Board also expects that, even when excluding the impact of the positive foreign exchange effects, EBITDA will be ahead, and pre-tax profits significantly ahead, of current market expectations.

Up 8% this morning.

Fantastic RNS.
Well done everyone at Sopheon for all the hard work.
I agree with cfro that its great to see the outcome wasn't reliant on fall of £.
Hold tight for an interesting day ahead :-))

The financial expectations noted above are subject to the completion of year-end financial close and audit processes.

Sopheon intends to issue its results for the year ended 31 December 2016, on 23 March 2017.

Expecting an update in the morning based upon previous years -last Wed in Jan in 3 of last 4 years. Top sliced just before the close 336.75p but they remain one of my biggest holdings. Expecting recent progress to be maintained. GLA.

trinko, looks a bit better. Apart from the potential turn, there has been no change to the basic chart set up.

[trinko] 19/1/2017 12:13

Maybe a rally later today if Sopheon is in here??

Thanks Bamboo! Can you post the chart?

[bamboo2] 18/1/2017 15:29

My chart shows a triangle apex based potential turn tomorrow. We could do with it! lol

Last year they released a trading update second week of January and in 2015 it was the last week.

With 70% of revenue from the USA, I would think that the probability would favour momentum continuing from the last interim statement in August.

[bruceylegs] 16/1/2017 09:10

There should be a trading update soon (January).

[runthejoules] 13/1/2017 15:14

Down to 345... what happened? Thought this was on my RNS feed, bad results, bad news? Did Trump tweet?
