Report

A good start to the year

7digital’s recent trading update confirmed good progress. H117 revenues increased 13%, with a strong performance from high-margin licence and creative sales. Momentum in monthly recurring revenues and new contract wins, as well as the full impact of the 24-7 acquisition put the group on track for an even stronger second half and add to our confidence in the deliverability of targeted EBITDA profitability in 2018. Given the progress being made, the 3.0x FY18 EBITDA rating looks extremely attractive.
