Trading Update

NCC Group plc ("the Group"), the global experts in cyber and software resilience, today publishes a trading update, based on unaudited financial information, for the six months to 30 November 2020.

Trading has remained resilient since the Group's AGM trading statement and, compared to the same period last year, revenue is expected to be slightly ahead.

The Board now believes Adjusted EBIT for the full year will be around the upper end of market expectations,1 although the ongoing challenges of the pandemic mean that there is still a range of possible outcomes for the full financial year.

The Group will report its interim results for the six months to 30 November 2020 on 4 February 2021.

Adam Palser, CEO, commented:

 "Achieving revenue growth in the first six months of the year is a tribute to the inspirational work and dedication shown by my NCC Group colleagues across the world. We are proud to have continued delivering exceptional work for our clients despite the logistical challenges of Covid-19 restrictions. We continue to be excited about the future growth potential of the cyber services market and the opportunity for NCC Group to play a full part in keeping our customers safe and secure."
