"LONDON (Alliance News) - FreeAgent Holdings PLC shares took a knock on Tuesday morning after the provider of cloud-based accounting software said it was loss-making in the first half of its financial year, although revenue managed to grow.
FreeAgent said it expects to report revenue of GBP4.6 million and a loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of GBP400,000 for the six months to September 30, which it said was "in line with our expectations and with the expected out-turn for the year as a whole."
In the previous year, revenue amounted to GBP3.6 million while the comparable loss was around GBP1.1 million.
Meanwhile, the gross profit margin "remained strong" at 80% - but was tightened from 84% the previous year.
Net cash at the end of September was around GBP3.4 million, which FreeAgent said was "comfortably ahead of internal forecasts".
"Revenues for the year as a whole will include a higher contribution from consultancy fees as the group's strategic partnership with the Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC continues to trigger substantial reimbursed development spend for FreeAgent," said the company."
