Trading Update

Elixirr International plc (AIM:ELIX), an established, global award-winning challenger consultancy, is pleased to provide an update on trading for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Trading since our last update in October 2020 has continued to be strong. The Group has continued to support its clients to address their key challenges, with Elixirr's services in relation to digital transformation and innovation in high demand.

Subject to the completion of the audit for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group expects to record revenue of approximately GBP30m, ahead of the market expectation of GBP29.4m. On an IAS 17 basis, Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately GBP9m, slightly ahead of the market expectation of GBP8.9m. On an IFRS 16 basis, Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately GBP9.6m.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had no debt with cash balances totalling GBP17.5m.

The Group has continued to make good progress on all four of its strategic growth pillars, including:

   --       Stretching our current partner team - we achieved organic revenue growth of 20% in 2020 

-- Promoting partners from within the firm - an experienced principal with deep banking experience was promoted to partner on 1 January 2021

-- Hiring new partners - an experienced partner with deep strategy and innovation experience joined on 1 January 2021 to accelerate the growth of our US business

-- Buying complementary businesses - we are pleased with the performance of Coast Digital Limited since acquisition in October 2020, where it took us just one week to sell their services into one of our current clients and where we see a strong pipeline throughout 2021. In addition, we are continuing to explore a number of other attractive acquisition opportunities.

The Group has made a strong start to 2021, recording another record revenue month in January 2021, following three record revenue months during 2020. Including the impact of the Coast Digital acquisition, the Directors expect Q1 revenue to increase by more than 50% compared to Q1 2020.

Commenting on the trading update, Stephen Newton, CEO, said:

"I am very proud of the financial results that we have achieved in our first year as a public company. We have delivered significant growth in revenue and profit against the backdrop of one of the most uncertain and challenging business environments many of us have experienced in our careers. Our success reflects the intersection of three critical factors. The most crucial factor is the results we continually deliver for our clients. A team of dedicated and entrepreneurial partners whose economic interests are 100% aligned with our high-quality shareholder base, empower this performance. As a result, we have a strong pipeline of exciting opportunities in 2021 and are confident of further growth in revenue and profit."

The Group has repaid the grants received during 2020 from the UK Government's Coronavirus Job Retention (Furlough) Scheme.

The full year results for the year ended 31 December 2020 will be announced on 12 April 2021 and the Directors look forward to providing a more detailed update to shareholders at that time.
