AGM and Interim Management Statement
18 February 2008
At its Annual General Meeting today, Intec Telecom Systems PLC ("Intec" or the "
Group"), a leading global supplier of billing and operations support systems to
the telecoms industry, provides its first Interim Management Statement for the
period from 1 October 2007 to 15 February 2008.
Current trading
The Board confirms that trading for the financial year to date was consistent
with management expectations at the time of the preliminary results announcement
on 27 November 2007.
The convergent billing contract in the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA)
region, referenced at the time of the preliminary results announcement, is
progressing and expected to be signed shortly.
Appointment of Chief Executive
As announced previously, Andrew Taylor joined the Board as Chief Executive
Officer in January 2008 and John Hughes returned to his position as
Non-Executive Chairman. Prior to joining Intec, Andrew Taylor, 39, served as
Chief Operating Officer of the UK and Ireland region at Alcatel-Lucent,
responsible for the delivery of annual revenues in excess of $1billion. His
strong track record of delivering operational efficiencies allied to top-line
growth will be instrumental in helping to drive the future success of Intec.
Financial position
There has been no material change in the financial position of the Group and the
balance sheet remains strong. Cash conversion remains a priority and management
is satisfied with the continued progress in the first months of FY2008.
Other material transactions during the period
On 30 November 2007, Intec completed the sale of the Denmark based Intec DCP
business to Volubill SA for an initial consideration of £1million in cash plus
ongoing royalty payments on certain parts of the revenue stream over the next
three years. As notified previously, the disposal is not expected to have a
material impact on results in future periods.
The project to consolidate Intec's Pennsylvania facility in North America into
Intec's three service centres in Atlanta, Dallas and San Antonio, is proceeding
according to management's initial expectations.
Outlook
The Group expects to release its interim results for the six months ended 31
March 2008 on 22nd May 2008. The outlook for the year remains positive and
consistent with management expectations.
