Trading update

accesso  Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO) , the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets, today  provides the following update ahead of its full year results announcement.

The solid trading performance reported in the Group's October update continued through the remainder of 2021. Despite some impacts due to the emergence of the Omicron variant in December, the Group expects to deliver revenue for the full year 2021 of not less than $124m, well ahead of its initial full year expectation and in line with the Board's updated guidance issued in October. The Group also expects profit to be in line with its October guidance of a Cash EBITDA margin above 20%. The Group's cash position at the end of the year was approximately $64m, with an undrawn facility of £18m.

The Group's 2021 revenue performance amid the pandemic is a clear reflection that demand for its technology is strong and its market opportunity is significant. Venue operators are increasingly focused on leveraging technology to meet their guests' mobile-first expectations while operating more efficiently. This has resulted in increased utilisation of accesso solutions within the Group's existing client base as well as robust levels of interest from new customers wishing to sign on. The Group will expand on its view of its 2022 outlook at the time of its results in March.

Many of our team members come from backgrounds working within the attractions and cultural industry.
