Results of AGM and Trading Update
PHSC (AIM: PHSC), a leading provider of health, safety, hygiene and environmental consultancy services and security solutions to the public and private sectors, is pleased to announce that the resolutions proposed at its Annual General Meeting held earlier today, as set out in the formal Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 10 August 2023, were all duly approved by shareholders.
Trading Update
The Board notes that the Company's unaudited management accounts show revenues for the five-month period to 31 August 2023 of approximately £1.35m, compared with £1.4m for the same period last year. The cost of sales and general overheads were marginally lower, despite the effects of salary increases awarded in H2 of FY23. EBITDA for the five-month period to 31 August 2023 was £139k, a modest reduction of £5k when compared with £144k for the same period last year. This was caused by the lower revenues not being fully offset by reduced costs and the pay increases referred to above. A more detailed update will be given in the interim accounts for the half year, expected to be published in late November 2023.
