Result of Microsoft Review
Adept4 plc
("Adept4", the "Group" or the "Company")
Result of Microsoft Review
On 20 September 2018 the Company announced the successful resolution of a warranty claim with the vendors of Adept4 Managed IT Limited. In assessing the level of settlement which would be acceptable to the Company, various issues were considered, including a historic licencing review of the acquired business being undertaken by Microsoft. The Company has now reached agreement with Microsoft in relation to this review, and this will result in a payment of £0.37 million. This liability will be included in the Group's results for the year ended 30 September 2018 which are expected to be published in February, however it will not impact the Group's Trading Group EBITDA* and there is, therefore, no change in the guidance given to the market in the Company's trading update of 16 November 2018.
*Trading Group EBITDA is measured as earnings from continuing operations before plc costs, interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation of intangibles, separately identifiable costs and income and share based payments
