DSNS Contract Renewal

 

EXPANSYS plc (AIM: XPS), announces the renewal of a contract by its subsidiary, Data Select Network Solutions Limited ("DSNS"), with an existing major UK mobile network partner.

 

As a result of the renewal terms, in the short to medium term, the Board expects the changes will reduce the current forecasted sales with this network which in turn will have a corresponding negative impact on the profitability of DSNS in FY 2013 in the UK market.  Whilst we will be looking to replace this reduced volume through business with other partners, we believe this change of terms will mean that achieving management expectations for DSNS in FY 2013 will be more challenging. The Board believes the contract will provide a potentially greater reward for DSNS on a per-customer basis in the longer term, when compared to the previous arrangements.

 

A fuller trading update for the Group as a whole will be given in due course.
