Spirit Telecom (ASX:ST1) is pleased to announce a strong revenue & sales trading result for both the month of April and for the Jan-April 20 period on a YOY basis. Spirit continues to demonstrate successful execution of its strategy of product bundling its high-speed Internet, Cloud and IT/MSP services.
The portfolio of products continues to show resilience and growth against the background of a volatile macro-environment. With the recent acquisition of Trident Technology Solutions Spirit has been able to tap into Essential Providers serviced by Trident with Schools and Aged Care providers taking up the Spirit Internet services as a cross-sell. The Spirit Group result is particularly pleasing as Trident’s business mix has seasonal flows in the current financial quarter (Q4), which is typically the slowest quarter for Trident only generating 15% of its revenue for the financial year.
Additionally, the Spirit balance sheet is in a very healthy position with a mix of cash and debt of $14.8M to be deployed for acquisitions and expansion of its Spirit X Digital Sales Platform.
Spirit is also pleased to announce that the Spirit X platform will launch the NBN Enterprise Ethernet range to its Partners and direct customers in late May 2020. The NBN product can reach 500,000+ business locations nationally.
Sol Lukatsky, Spirit’s Managing Director said: “we are simply executing to strategy for our customers, who are demanding a bundled High-Speed Internet links & IT services in one offering and it’s working. The launch of the NBN EE product will add more than 500,000 locations we can sell into with our Internet and IT services bundles. This is a game changer in terms of organic opportunity for Spirit. Acquisition target opportunities continue to grow with revised valuation expectations of vendors becoming more realistic over the last period. Our balance sheet position of $14.8M in cash and debt puts us in a very unique position to acquire quality Telco & IT/MSP assets at reduced prices.”
