AGM Trading Statement

NCC Group plc, the global experts in cyber and software resilience, will hold its Annual General Meeting today at 2.00pm at the Company's Head Office, XYZ Building, 2 Hardman Boulevard, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3AQ.  Regrettably, it remains the opinion of the Board that, due to the number of Covid-19 cases still being reported in the UK, shareholders should consider carefully whether attending the AGM in person would be necessary under the current circumstances.

 Ahead of this, the Board is publishing an update on current trading.

The Group continues to trade ahead of the same period last year on a like for like revenue basis.  The Intellectual Property Management ("IPM") business that we acquired for $220m on 7 June 2021 is trading as expected and the integration is progressing to plan.  Overall trading is in line with management's expectations for the full year.

The Group expects to report its half-year results for the six months to 30 November 2021, on 27 January 2022.

 Adam Palser, CEO, commented:

"We have had a solid start to the new year and have been delighted to welcome our new colleagues from IPM into the NCC Group family following our acquisition of a business which transforms our global Software Resilience business in the USA.  Thanks to our investment and ever-growing assurance and software resilience capabilities, we are well positioned to deliver further growth as the global economy continues its recovery."
