Trading Update

Netcall plc (AIM: NET), a leading customer engagement software provider, today announces that final results for the 12 months ended 30 June 2016 are expected to be in line with market expectations.

The year has been characterised by double-digit growth in order inflow, with an increased share of the sales mix coming from SaaS-based contracts. The growing proportion of SaaS-based contracts increases the revenue visibility of the Group, by adding to the recurring revenue base in future periods.

The Group has a robust cash position, maintaining its debt free balance sheet and being strongly cash generative at the operational level. At 30 June 2016 the net cash balance was £14.1m (31 Dec 2015: £15.2m), following payment of the first enhanced dividend and ordinary dividend, comprising £3.01m in total, in line with the Board's dividend strategy.

Henrik Bang, CEO of Netcall commented: "This has been a year of strong sales order bookings for the Group. As anticipated, we are seeing an increasing proportion of new sales orders for SaaS-based contracts which further enhances our financial visibility into future years. We are pleased with the development of the business and believe we are well positioned for the future."
