CROMA SECURITY SOLUTIONS GROUP PLC
("CSSG" or the "Group")
FY18 Trading Update
Croma Security Solutions Group Plc is pleased to announce that
the financial year to 30 June 2018 has been a successful trading
period generating record profits ahead of the previous financial
year.
Increased demand across the UK for premium security services
from both the public and private sector, driven by concerns over
public safety, government outsourcing and heightened terrorism
threats, has benefitted the Group. These factors have supported the
Group's two principal divisions Croma Vigilant and Croma Systems in
securing a series of new contracts.
Croma Vigilant, which employs over 1,200 security professionals,
to guard assets and individuals, has experienced a significant
increase in demand, as clients recognise the importance of
protecting their assets and choose Croma Vigilant, a premium
service involving mostly ex-military individuals who collectively
bring an ethos and training that is difficult to surpass.
Croma Systems, provider of a range of innovative security
technology services including CCTV, Intruder Alarms, FastVein
(Biometrics) and high security locks, has also benefitted from a
general uplift in demand across its business activities.
As a result, the Company expects to report for the 12 months to
30 June 2018
EBITDA not less than GBP2.4 million (2017: GBP0.8 million).
The Company looks forward to providing more detail on this
positive trading performance in October 2018 with the announcement
of its full-year results.
Sebastian Morley Chairman of CSSG said:
"CSSG offer a premium security service, the appeal of which has
increased as customers recognise that to ensure their security,
they require expertise and experience. Our Group has both qualities
which when also combined with our range of security technology
services makes for a compelling offer. While the Group has
benefited from a significant proportion of one off contracts there
has also been a rise in long-term contracted revenues which points
to a step change in the ongoing profitability of the business."
