Pre-close Trading Update
Thruvision (AIM: THRU) the specialist provider of 'safe
distance' people-screening technology to the international security
market, is pleased to provide an update on trading for the six
months ended 30 September 2020, the first half of the Group's
financial year.
Despite the challenges presented by the Coronavirus pandemic and
limited activity from early March to mid-June, the Group had a
strong second quarter and, for the first time, has achieved
break-even EBITDA for the half year. Revenues in the period were
GBP4.7 million (H1 FY20: GBP4.8 million) with a gross margin of 48%
(H1 FY20: 48%).
Cash at 30 September 2020 was GBP5.0 million (31 March 2020:
GBP8.4 million) and this is expected to improve materially during
October when a US Federal Government payment falls due, bringing
cash to levels seen in the prior year.
Our Customs and Profit Protection sectors held up well despite
the Coronavirus impact although our Aviation sector was inevitably
badly affected. In the period we received orders from 8 new and 6
existing customers.
