AGM Statement & Trading Update

 

Trakm8 Holdings plc, the AIM listed telematics and data supplier to global markets, is today holding its Annual General Meeting. Executive Chairman John Watkins will make the following statement on current trading at the meeting.

Trakm8 is pleased to report that trading in the first four months of the current financial year commencing 1 April 2014 has started well with the strong organic growth of last year continuing. The value of new orders booked are 33% greater than the same period last year on a like for like basis. A full period contribution from BOX (which the Group did not own at the same stage last year) along with much higher levels of Trakm8 sales have resulted in revenues being considerably higher than last year with the corresponding benefit to profitability.

There are now 75,000 units reporting to our servers, an increase of 17,000 in the new financial year.

New customer contracts with Kubota and Downton have been announced and the shipments to Direct Line customers have started. The T10 product family is expanding in range and features, which has increased the numbers of customers purchasing both hardware and data services.

The Board is confident that, with this good start to the current financial year, the Group is on course to achieve expectations for the year as a whole.
