Trading Guidance

LogiCamms today reaffirmed its previous trading guidance provided to the market in February that it expects to see revenue of approximately $140M for FY15 ($69.3m delivered in H1 FY15) and an EBITDA margin of 8-10% of revenue. The Company continues to have strong operating cash flows and expects a net cash position of around $20 million at 30 June 2015 with no outstanding borrowings.

Share Buy Back

The Company’s share buy-back program commenced on 11 September 2014 with the Company stating it would buy shares up to an aggregate value of $2.0 million within the 12 month period. The Company has now bought back 2,757,988 shares at a cost of $1,958,108. The Company has lodged notices confirming the end of the share buy-back program effective today.

Consult, Deliver and Maintain

The Company has implemented a strategy of structuring its business around three key business lines of Consult, Deliver and Maintain. The Company currently provides services primarily in Deliver through its core engineering and project expertise. Revenues and opportunities in Deliver remain solid, particularly with the Company’s predominant focus on asset performance of operating facilities as well as sustaining brownfield optimisation and expansion opportunities.

The Company also has specialist offerings under the Consult business. These currently include Competency Training (our Registered Training Organisation), Competency Assurance and the recently acquired Monarc Environmental, an environmental consultancy with strong capabilities in the gas pipeline industry. There remain significant opportunities to grow these unique and differentiated Consult capabilities as well as expand through M&A activity to enhance the pull through of opportunities from Consult into our core Deliver business.

The Company currently has a growing interest in the Maintain business line through its existing site implementation, commissioning, shutdown and maintenance services in the Pilbara region. There exist opportunities to expand Maintain organically on the back of Deliver, as well as extend our specialist Maintain skills and scale through M&A.

As part of the implementation of the Consult, Deliver and Maintain strategy, the opportunity landscape of the Company increases and it expects to accelerate its market penetration through targeted and highly strategic acquisitions and investments. The strong cash flows of the business, significant cash position and
