("Cerillion" or "the Company")
Cerillion plc, the billing, charging and customer relationship management software solutions provider, is pleased to announce a trading update for the financial year to 30 September 2017.
The Company continued to perform well in the second half of the financial year, and results for the full year are expected to be in line with market expectations. Revenues and EBITDA for the 12 months are anticipated to show increases of 8.2% to £16.0m and 16.3% to £3.6m, respectively1.
This performance reflects new customer implementations in EMEA and strong growth in software revenues2 with existing customers. Looking forward, the pipeline of opportunities remains very encouraging.

Further information on this is provided in an RNS REACH announcement issued today.
Full year results are expected to be announced on 27 November, when a further update on current trading will be provided.
