Craneware : AGM Statement

17 November 2020 - Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in Value Cycle software solutions for the US healthcare market, is pleased to provide an update on trading ahead of its Annual General Meeting taking place at 10am today. The AGM will be run as a 'closed meeting', with only the minimum required quorum of two shareholders being present as is necessary to enable the formal business of the meeting to be conducted.

The first four months of this fiscal year saw a return to strong sales growth, considerably ahead of the equivalent period of the prior year. Results are ahead of management expectations for this stage in the year and, we expect revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the Interim period to 31 December 2020 to be ahead of the equivalent period in the prior year, building the foundation for a return to double-digit growth in the future. We look forward to providing further details within our Trading Update for the 6 months ended 31 December 2020.

Our Value Cycle offering, delivered via our cloud-based Trisus platform, continues to resonate with the leadership teams of US hospitals. Trisus provides the means to collect, analyse, compare, verify, and correct their data, so they can improve the financial and operational performance of their hospitals, while improving patient outcomes.

With each hospital that joins the platform, Trisus becomes more powerful. Through the recent beta launches of the Trisus (cloud) versions of our core offerings, Chargemaster Toolkit and Pharmacy Chargelink, and our four live Trisus native cloud applications, we now have multiple means by which new and existing customers can join the Trisus Community, providing them with a gateway to the wider benefits the platform can provide.

We continue to see substantial new opportunities entering the sales pipeline and the Board is confident in the continued strong performance of the business.
