Group Performance

• Total Group revenue for CYBER1 equated to 5.61m EUR for Q3 2020. Following the half year results, the business has been able to reduce the prior year revenue gap down to 16.45% versus the previous year, from an original 30% in Q1 2020.
• Total year to date revenue for the Group equated to 21.62m EUR.
• Group Gross margin has increased year over year by 12%, from 28% in Q3 2019 to 40% in Q3 2020. A blend of additional services sold to clients, as well as more profitable vendor solutions being utilised has equated to one of the largest margin increases ever recorded within the company.
• Group operating expenditure has been reduced year over year by 4.8% on an organic basis, versus Q3 2019. Further quarterly results will see the benefit of these harmonisation initiatives, particularly due to a number of exceptional items incurred in Q1 2020 that will not be repeated in 2021.
• Group Q3 2020 EBITDA of -1.53m EUR, compared to a loss of -688k EUR in Q3 of 2019.

• Credence Security Middle East & India recorded revenue of 1.93m EUR in Q3 2020, versus 2.63m EUR in Q3 2019.

I have been working closely with the Managing Directors, to prioritise and develop key vendor relationships and services, to ensure we are at the cutting edge of demand with our offering. Moving into our traditionally highest performing quarter in Q4, I am excited to see how far we can close the gap and set the strong foundations for a prosperous 2021 and beyond.”
