Quixant plc
("Quixant" or the "Group")
Trading Update
Quixant (AIM: QXT), a leading provider of innovative, highly engineered technology products principally to the global gaming industry, is pleased to provide the following update on current trading ahead of the year ending 31 December 2016.
The Group's progress has accelerated in the second half of the year with the Gaming Division in particular showing strong year on year revenue growth. Increased demand for Quixant's computer platforms for the gaming industry was evident from several customers. As a result the Board now expects EBITDA margins in H2 to be higher than previously anticipated, and significantly higher than the EBITDA margins achieved in H1.
The Board now anticipates that total revenue for the year will be not less than $86m and profit will be ahead of market expectations.
Nick Jarmany, CEO of Quixant commented: "We have had a very strong second half to the year with demand for our computer platforms building through the period. Couple this with a very satisfactory performance from Densitron, who we acquired at the end of last year, and we are very pleased with the overall performance of the Group."
The information communicated in this announcement is inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation 596/2014.
