Trading Update

Shearwater Group plc, the cybersecurity, advisory and managed security services group, announces an update ahead of its final results for the year ended 31 March 2023 (FY23).

Further to the Company's Trading Update announcement of 31 March 2023, the Group expects FY23 revenue to be in the region of GBP27.0m (FY22: GBP35.9m) with Adjusted EBITDA(1) at around breakeven (FY22: GBP4.4m). The Group's net cash position as at 31 March 2023 was GBP4.0m and the business continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet which will be further strengthened through cash generation in FY24.

The current financial year has seen improving market conditions for Shearwater, with a strong pipeline across key industries, specifically in the banking and telecoms sectors. Amidst the ever-increasing threat of cybersecurity breaches, Shearwater's proven products and services remain important to organisations and provide opportunities for the Group to grow in FY24 and beyond.

Over the past two years, Shearwater has continued to invest in research & development in broadening and deepening the Group's product offering to enable the Group to maintain the strength of its positioning in the market. The latest product of this investment has been the release of SecurEnvoy's Access Management solution version 3. The solution helps organisations manage and control access to their systems and software. With SecurEnvoy's solution, organisations can enhance their security measures, ensure regulatory compliance, reduce supply chain risk and simplify the management of users accessing corporate systems via a single sign-on.

The improving outlook and growing pipeline of opportunities is providing the Group with a firm foundation on which to deliver solid, sustainable revenues and profit growth in the years ahead.

Final Results

The Group expects to announce its audited FY23 results before mid-August and will announce details of the retail investor presentation in the coming weeks.
