Approval of interim financial statements

Further to the meeting of the Board of Directors of Harvest Technology p.l.c. (C 63276) (the "Company") held today the 5 August, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company's interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June, 2022.

Interim dividend

The Board of Directors also announces that it has resolved to distribute an interim net dividend of €455,613 (subject to rounding), equivalent to €0.020 per share (the "Dividend"). Shareholders of the Company appearing on the Company's register of members maintained by the Central Securities Depository of the Malta Stock Exchange as at close of business on 19 August 2022 shall be entitled to receive their respective share of the Dividend. Payment of the Dividend shall be effected by not later than 31 August 2022.

Update to the market

The Board of Directors notes that the unaudited consolidated net profit before tax of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") in H1, 2022 amounted to €1,105,383.

Based on updated forecasts, and as detailed in the company announcement published on 3 June, 2022 (HRV30), the Group is expected to achieve higher revenues in 2022 versus prior year and profit before tax for the year is expected to be around the €3 million mark. That said, whilst the Group will strive to meet the budgeted projections for 2022, The Board of Directors is conscious of the fact that projected performance may be impacted by the challenges which the Group is currently experiencing, particularly as a result of: increased scrutiny from a regulatory perspective in the payment processing services segment; additional licensing requirements mandated on operators in online gaming; increasing costs due to inflation; delays at operational level resulting from supply chain issues; and delays in awards of certain contracts within the retail and IT services segment.
