Trading Update and Notice of Results
Quixant (AIM: QXT), a leading provider of specialised computing platforms and monitors for gaming and slot machine applications, is pleased to provide an update on trading for the six months ended 30 June 2018.
Revenue and profit before tax is in line with management expectations for the first half and consistent with meeting full year management expectations, continuing the Group's record of strong annual growth. Gross margin in the first half remained robust.
Commenting on trading Jon Jayal, Quixant CEO said:
"We are very pleased with the performance of the Group in the first six months, with both the Gaming Division and Densitron performing in line with our expectations. In 2017 revenue was significantly first half weighted which we explained was atypical and not likely to be an ongoing trend. This is proving to be the case and for the full year 2018 we anticipate a return to our traditional second half weighting."
The Company's interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2018 are expected to be announced on 19 September 2018.
