Financials

Made Tech delivered a strong performance in the Period, generating year-on-year revenue growth of 76% to GBP20.6m. Made Tech entered the second half with a record Contracted Backlog, which positions the Group strongly for the remainder of the year and looking into FY 2024.

This strong organic growth was achieved despite industry headwinds, caused by the well-reported Government and market turmoil that occurred during Q2. This resulted in reduced gross margins in the first half, as was flagged in the Group's Final Results in September 2022, due to delays to bid submissions and ongoing project work. However, Made Tech has carefully managed this disruption through right-sizing headcount, reducing contractor numbers to c.10%, and improving its cost controls, such that it expects margins to materially improve in H2.

Made Tech is debt free and has a strong balance sheet with GBP9m net cash at Period end, positioning the Group well to execute its growth strategy. The Group's performance in the first half, alongside the new customer wins and expansions signed post Period end, has been greatly encouraging and underpins the Board's confidence in the Group's growth prospects.

Rory MacDonald, CEO of Made Tech, said:

"We are delighted to have delivered another period of strong growth. It is pleasing to note that our contract sizes continue to grow as we become more established in the market. These wins, together with the new Home Office contract announced in November 2022, demonstrate Made Tech's ability to deliver digital technology successfully, and highlight the strength of our reputation in this growing market. As a result, the Group remains on track to meet market expectations for the full year(4) and deliver value to shareholders over the long term."
