TRADING UPDATE
Endace is pleased to report that the results for the year have exceeded market expectations.
As set out a year ago, Endace planned a two-year programme of investment within the business to create the infrastructure and resources to drive the business to a significantly higher level, placing the primary focus on generating revenue growth. This investment takes the form of increasing the Company's resources in R&D, sales and marketing and in software tools. At the end of the first year of this programme, good progress has been made.
As a result, for the financial year ended 31 March 2008 the Company expects to report an increase in revenues of over 40% to more than $24.0 million (2006/7: $17.0 million) and profits before tax of over $4.3 million (2006/7: $3.9 million) after providing for the increased investment within the business.
Growth has been achieved across all geographic markets with North America and EMEA performing particularly well. The company continues to maintain strong sales in all three key industry markets of telecommunications, government and financial services, with the strongest growth having been achieved in the financial services sector.
Endace's Chief Executive Officer, Mike Riley commented:
"We have made excellent progress over the past year with our twin aims of moving Endace's sales profile progressively towards higher value NinjaProbe appliance products and, at the same time, putting in place the company infrastructure which will enable us to sustain a high level of growth in the future.
"In spite of general economic uncertainties, demand for our products within our target markets remains strong, giving us confidence in our prospects."
