BMIT Technologies plc this week announced their first half-yearly results following their IPO earlier this year, showing a positive performance all round, in line with forecasts.

Revenue generated stands at €11.2 million for the first six months of 2019, an increase of around half a million euro.  This is equivalent to a 4.4% increase over the same period last year. Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 4.7% to €5.1 million representing an underlying growth in the overall operating performance of the Group.  Profit before tax stands at €3.7 million, down from €3.9 million as a result of finance expenses and amortisation recognised, due to the adoption of IFRS 16. 

As at 30 June 2019, BMIT Technologies Group held total assets of €21.3 million showing a growth of €7.7 million from 31 December 2018.  This was mainly as a result of a strong cash position of €2.8 million and the recognition of right-of-use assets following the adoption of IFRS 16, amounting to €4.9 million. 

Chairman of BMIT Technologies plc, Mr Nikhil Patil, commended the team’s hard work in delivering these positive results that strengthen the company’s position in key areas. ‘These results also confirm the successful transition of BMIT Technologies from a private company to a public and listed organisation.  My board is proud that the company has succeeded to perform in line with forecasts, since this augurs well for its future performancce and growth plans.  I would like to thank all shareholders for the trust they have shown in us, and for supporting us in this journey’, commented Mr Patil.
