UPDATE ON AUDIT PROCESS
LONDON, United Kingdom and TORONTO, Ontario, Canada 28 April 2023 - Alphawave IP Group plc (LSE: AWE, the "Company" or "Alphawave Semi") has today published its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Although the audit procedures are substantially complete, and the Company does not expect any changes to the preliminary results, the Company's external auditor has requested more time to complete its internal oversight and assurance processes before issuing its formal audit opinion. The principal reason for this is because of the additional procedures required in connection with the first-time audit of the Company as an enlarged group following three transformational acquisitions over the past year. These transactions included both whole business acquisitions, carve-outs, debt financing, and a 366% increase in headcount.
Publication of the audited results is now anticipated to be on or before 12 May 2023, which falls outside the deadline required by the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules for the publication of audited financial statements. As a result, the Company will request for the listing of its shares to be suspended from trading for a brief period from 7.30am on 2 May 2023 until the publication of its audited FY 2022 results.
The Company reiterates both its guidance for FY 2023 and its long-term guidance. In addition, the Company published its Q1 2023 trading statement this morning, which marked the first time that bookings have surpassed US$100M in a single quarter.
