Trading Update

and Notice of Results

1Spatial, a global leader in Location Master Data Management ("LMDM") software and solutions, is pleased to provide an update on trading for the financial year ended 31 January 2024 ("FY2024").

Based on the unaudited financial results, the Group expects to report significant progress against key financial metrics, providing a strong platform for further growth in future years.

Total revenue for the year is expected to be no less than £32.1m (FY2023: £30.0m) with approximately 55% (FY2023: 50%) represented by recurring revenue. Within recurring revenues, software term licence revenue has increased by approximately 70% to £8.7m (FY23: £5.2m) with double digit growth across the UK, US and Australia.

Despite the impact of inflationary cost increases, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be no less than £5.5m (FY2023: £5.0m) and reported profit before tax not less than £1.0m (FY2023: £1.0m), reflecting increased finance costs due to the high interest rate environment and certain exceptional charges relating to the restructuring.

The Group's net cash was £1.1m at 31 January 2024 (£3.1m at 31 January 2023), reflecting the increased investment into the business, targeted restructuring activities and timing of certain working capital flows, which have reversed since year end.

Outlook

We ended the year with significant momentum, successfully closing a number of high value, multi-year contracts across all territories. These agreements provide a strong foundation for the sustained growth of our Enterprise operations in FY25.

The Group continues to invest in its SaaS based solutions, notably 1Streetworks in the UK alongside NG911 in the US. Trials for both these products have progressed well over the last 12 months, resulting in the first 12-month licence for 1Streetworks with UK Power Networks and five annual NG911 SaaS licences.

Building on the success of the first customer use case, the Company plans to invest in the expansion of the 1Streetworks sales and marketing teams. This investment will accelerate conversion of the substantial opportunities identified over the past year. For the NG911 SaaS application, the Company is exploring a partner-led go to market strategy to accelerate the growth. This will provide wider market coverage of this key market.

With a healthy sales pipeline, strong order book and increased recurring revenues, the Board is confident that the progress made over the past year is set to continue.

Notice of Results

The Company expects to announce audited final results for the year ended 31 January 2024 on 24 April 2024.
