Trading Statement

Ubisense Group Plc (AIM: UBI), a leader in high performance Enterprise Location Intelligence systems through its RTLS SmartSpace and geospatial myWorld offerings, is pleased to provide the following trading update for the year ending 31 December 2017.

The Company showed strong revenue growth for its own RTLS SmartSpace and myWorld products, particularly in North America, with its own product revenues increasing by more than 25% over the prior year. In addition to the announced contract wins, Ubisense continued to sign both new deployments and expansion projects during the year. Own product revenue growth has more than offset the expected transition away from legacy third party services projects. As a result, the Company expects overall revenues to have increased over the previous year.

The Company is continuing to invest in both sales capacity and further development of its software and hardware solutions.  Ubisense enters 2018 with a strong order book for its own products, a growing sales pipeline and momentum with key customers.   

The Company expects to report a cash balance of £9.1 million and a net cash positive position of £6.6 million as at 31 December 2017.

Richard Petti, CEO, said:

"The refocusing of our strategy has resulted in several strategic wins in aerospace, telecommunications and automotive sectors which will be the foundation of our future growth in these markets. Our focus on enterprise software and investments into our go-to-market capabilities is building our pipeline and will drive gross margin growth."

The Company expects to announce its results for the 12 months ending 31 December 2017 in March 2018.
