Half Year Trading Update and Notice of Results

Half Year performance in line with the Board's expectations

 

Inspired plc (AIM: INSE), a leading technology enabled service provider
supporting businesses in their drive to net zero, controlling energy costs and
managing their response to climate change, is pleased to provide the following
trading update for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022.

 

The Group continued to make progress against its planned strategy in the first
half of the financial year, with strong trading and a continued improvement in
underlying cash generation from FY2021. The Board expects to announce results
in line with its expectations.

 

Energy has become a high priority Board level issue for all businesses. The
Group continues to support clients in managing energy prices and reducing
energy consumption and carbon emissions. Growth within the Group's Energy
Optimisation Services in particular is strong, and the Board is pleased to
note the accelerating demand for Inspired ESG services.

 

Mark Dickinson, CEO of Inspired PLC commented:

"Against a challenging market and macroeconomic backdrop, we are pleased to
report a period of solid growth, with the Optimisation and ESG divisions
gaining particularly good traction in particular, a trend we see continuing
into the second half.

"The transition to Inspired plc a year ago has enabled us to strengthen our
platform and leading market position as we support businesses in their
response to the ongoing energy crisis and climate emergency."
