SysGroup (LSE:SYS) is a multi-award winning, profitable and cashflow positive provider of Hosted Cloud Services. It serves a wide range of industries, including financial services, education, retail, gaming, insurance, and charitable organisations. Clients benefit from its ‘ the best of breed’ solutions as SYS is vendor agnostic. The organic growth strategy was being accelerated by acquisitions pre-covid. The recent Trading Update reported that Revenue for the year is expected to be approximately 7% lower at £18m but conversely, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 3% higher a £2.9m which is ahead Interim expectations. The net cash is likely to be around £1.5m. Also undraw loan total facilities of £5.0m are available expiring in 2024 from Santander giving immediate access to draw down against acquisition with a revolving credit facility. A significant acquisition could be funded and coming out of Covid seems the right time to reignite growth with acquisitions.
