Elecosoft plc
(“Elecosoft” or “the Company”)
Trading Statement
The Board of Elecosoft is pleased to announce the following trading statement for the year ended 31 December 2016:
Based on unaudited management accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016, the Board expects that profit before tax for the year will be significantly ahead of market expectations before costs associated with the acquisition of Integrated Computing and Office Networking Limited (ICON).
Elecosoft achieved record sales in the year ended 31 December 2016 due principally to substantial growth in sales of its Asta Powerproject® software applications and its Bidcon® estimating software together with corresponding increases in training and consultancy revenues. Sales benefited in the latter half of 2016 from the currency effect resulting from the Brexit vote.
John Ketteley, Executive Chairman of Elecosoft said “Elecosoft produced a strong trading performance in 2016 and made the successful acquisition of ICON. We are confident that 2017 will be a year of further progress as Elecosoft begins to realise its potential as a specialist international provider of market leading software solutions and applications for construction, retail and related industries.
