AGM Statement
accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure,
entertainment and cultural markets, will today, at 10:30am, hold its Annual General Meeting (the
“AGM” or the “Meeting”). At that time the Chairman of the Meeting will provide the following update on
trading for the four months ended 30 April 2015:
“I am delighted to report that the early part of this year has got off to a strong start on a number of
fronts. We have seen good trading across the business, corroborated by a number of our larger
customers reporting excellent early results. We have sold new business across each of our product
lines, signing an unprecedented 42 new contracts during the period with new customers and old,
deepening many existing relationships. We have also added to our pipeline of prospective business,
offering new opportunities to generate reliable, transactional and repeatable revenue streams for the
Group. Finally, we have made good progress on the further integration of Siriuswaresm and
ShoWaresm, our most recent acquisitions.
Reflecting on some of our early successes, we have been particularly pleased by the progress seen
in new business across our product range. We have added a number of multi-million attendance
venues to our portfolio as well as seeing more opportunity to cross-sell and up-sell between products
and customers.
Our newer investments for the future also continue to show potential. Following a successful customer
trial last season, we have been invited to bring our Q100 product back for an extended and expanded
period this summer. We have seen the roll out of our updated Qbandsm product into a significant North
American water park which has been very well received by the operator and guests alike. At the end
of last season we launched a new responsive design eCommerce store for our Passport platform.
This has driven a significant increase in sales made to mobile devices, up 470% year-to-date.
Following this success, it is with pleasure that I can report that a similar store has just launched with a
number of our ShoWare clients prior to a platform wide roll out. It is this kind of innovation that will
position the Group for sustained success and has seen us win a second Queen’s Award: a very proud
achievement for the whole organisation.
Our latest acquisition, ShoWare, has performed exceptionally well in the period and we are very
pleased by the pace at which that business has become a part of the accesso family. Along with
Siriusware, it continues to open up new opportunities to push accesso into previously untapped
verticals within the broader leisure space.
Whilst we remain at an early stage in the year, the Board is pleased by the progress we are making.
There is always more to do, but we are confident that we have the requisite tools and opportunities in
front of us to deliver another successful year for our Group.”
