RNS Number : 5292A  Crimson Tide PLC  23 January 2024

Crimson Tide plc

("Crimson Tide" or the "Company"

Post-Year End Trading update

 

Crimson Tide plc (TIDE) ("Crimson Tide" or the "Company"), the provider of the
mpro5 process management app, is pleased to provide the following trading
update for the year ended 31 December 2023 ('FY23' or the 'period') ahead of
publication of its FY23 Final Results in April 2024.

In a recent update, we highlighted our focus on enhancing operational
efficiency with a view to increasing profitability. We are pleased to confirm
that we expect FY23 EBITDA to be not less than £0.4m (FY22: LBITDA -£0.4m),
exceeding the Board's expectation at the time of the Interim Results in
September 2023. Turnover for FY23 is expected to be £6.2m; 15% ahead of FY22.
We expect our healthy gross margin to improve to not less than 85% (FY22:
83.5%) due to efficiencies gained from product enhancements and hosting. This,
combined with a strong cash balance of £3.3m (FY22: £3.6m), means that the
Company is well positioned for growth in FY24 and beyond.

Our operational and management team is well set; therefore, employee growth is
now mostly expected in the sales team, focusing on partner acquisition in the
UK & US. Investment in marketing will also increase in FY24, without
affecting anticipated profitability, enabling us to scale domestically and
internationally.

Crimson Tide has recently established an Employee Benefit Trust intending to
incentivise our loyal employees through shareholdings in the Company,
recognising the importance of ensuring that employees align closely with the
success of the Company in the medium and long-term.

Full-year results for FY23 are expected to be published in April. The numbers
in this trading update remain subject to audit.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of
the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law
by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR"), and is
disclosed in accordance with the Company's obligations under Article 17 of
MAR.
