FY17 revenues hit by contract reversals

Issues with revenue recognition have led to the reversal of two contracts worth £2.9m in FY17, reducing expected growth from 40% to 29%. We have revised our FY17 estimates accordingly, resulting in a 76% cut to our FY17 EPS forecast. We have withdrawn our FY18 and FY19 forecasts pending clarity on underlying growth rates. The CEO has resigned; interim CFO Simon Herrick will also take on the CEO role until a new CEO is appointed.
