Q1 Trading Update and Contract Wins
Jarvis is pleased to announce that it has continued to perform strongly during
the first quarter of 2008. Despite the caveats raised in our last Annual
Report, the optimism of the Board that 2008 would be another promising year for
the Company has been borne out during the first three months of trading.
Trade volumes are up more than 6% on the same period in 2007 and commercial and
retail client numbers continue to grow. In addition, pre-tax profit is
currently running ahead of market expectation.
Jarvis is also able to announce that it has recently agreed and signed three new
commercial contracts for settlement services. The firms involved are currently
at various stages of regulatory approval and preparation to commence operations
and therefore further details will be issued in due course.
Commenting, Andrew Grant the Chairman of Jarvis said:
"I am very pleased that our confidence for 2008 has been well founded so far.
There are clearly many challenges for financial businesses at the moment but
our outsourced services remain attractive to potential customers, particularly
those looking to gain efficiencies and reduce costs. Volatility also benefits
Jarvis with increased trading volumes and we have also gained from the current
credit environment. Jarvis has no debt and no exposure to investment instruments
and we have been able to obtain deposit rates significantly above base rate
because of the current high demand for short-term cash in the market. I
continue to look forward with cautious optimism."
