Cloud communications software and solutions provider IMImobile PLC (LON: IMO) reported strong financial results for the six months ended September 30th, alongside a period of client wins and acquisitions.
The Company began by stating that its performance was in line with the Board’s expectations, with revenue jumping 24% to £83.0 million.
This sales progress led a 27% surge in adjusted EBITDA to £9.8 million and adjusted profit after tax rising 12% to £5.2 million. The only downside to today’s fundamentals was the Group’s net debt, which narrowed from £7.5 million to £21.8 million between the first and second halves of the financial year.
Operationally, during the period, IMImobile announced the acquisition of 3Cinteractive Corp, new contract wins across all regions and new launches, “utilising new richer messaging channels, Apple Business Chat, RCS and WhatsApp Business”.
The Company’s shareholders fared similarly well, with adjusted diluted EPS up 5% year-on-year for the same period, to 6.9p.
Other positive financial results announced on Tuesday came from; IG Design Group PLC (LON: IGR) celebrating a profit bounce, CRH PLC (LON: CRH) posted a strong third quarter and Pets at Home (LON:PETS) celebrated a productive first half.
