We are pleased to announce a trading update ahead of announcing our preliminary results for the year ended 31 August 2022.
We expect to report Net Revenue1 of c.£46.8m, 35% above prior year (FY 2021: £34.7m) and ahead of market expectations of £45m.
In the second half of the year, Net Revenue was c.£26m, a record for Ten, and c.45% up on the second half of the prior year, with sequential growth from the third to the fourth quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA2 is expected to be ahead of the prior year (FY 2021: £4.4m) and in line with market expectations of £5m.
Adjusted EBITDA was c.£0.9m in the first half of the year, due to the adverse effects of Omicron, but improved significantly in the second half of the year; in line with the Board’s expectations.
We ended the financial year with a cash position of £6.8m, with net cash at £3.3m, in line with market expectations. In the last quarter, we raised additional long-term debt of £2m, in order to provide a prudent level of working capital to support organic revenue growth and a number of anticipated new contract launches in FY 2023.
We have continued our investment in technology throughout the year to drive improvements in concierge service levels, efficiencies and our competitive advantage.
