AGM Statement and Board Changes
13 November 2024 - Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in Value Cycle software solutions for the US healthcare market, provides an update on trading ahead of its Annual General Meeting, which takes place at 10am today.
The Board is pleased to confirm that the positive momentum seen in FY24 has continued into the current year, with the prior investments into the Trisus platform supporting continued revenue and EBITDA growth. As a result, the Group continues to trade in line with current market expectations for the year ending 30 June 2025.
Following the election, US hospitals are now preparing for a period of stability and investment in strategic growth. We anticipate this will be a driver of demand for our solutions, as healthcare providers seek to optimise their operational and financial performance and maximise this investment. Alongside the Group's direct sales efforts, the recently signed alliance with Microsoft is progressing well, with Trisus offerings now live on the Azure Marketplace and the first sizeable customer contract secured via the marketplace.
The strength of the Company's balance sheet, high levels of recurring revenue and strong cash generation provide Craneware with solid foundations as it executes on its growth strategy. The Board remains confident in achieving growth acceleration over the near term, creating further long-term value for all stakeholders.
Board Changes
As previously announced, following many years' service on the Board of Directors, Colleen Blye, Senior Non-Executive Director, and Russ Rudish, Non-Executive Director, are not standing for re-election at the Company's AGM later today. The Board thanks them both for their significant contributions to Craneware's success to date.
The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Tamra Minnier as Non-Executive Director, which will take effect following today's AGM.
