Performance Overview

The first quarter results detailed in this report, have continued the strong momentum at the close of 2018, to maintain the positive direction and performance of CYBER1.

Following extensive planning at the end of Q4 2018 the subsidiaries have materially performed over and above last year's quarterly results and which performance is complemented by a strong and robust pipeline established for the rest of 2019.

The significant positive deviation to historical performance has been underpinned by a number of large deals secured across our African and Middle Eastern regions, where our subsidiaries have been working through highly competitive and stringent tendering processes, to secure a number of multi-year product and service contracts with multi-national clients. These deals were secured through our ability to be competitive both in terms of delivering value for the end user but more importantly through customer relationships, that we strive to build with our partners. We value greatly the responsibility in holding, securing and fortifying their sensitive data and we believe this resonates strongly when decisions are made in choosing a partner in a similar vein to an auditor or legal counsel.

With performance of many of the subsidiaries being traditionally back-end loaded, this quarter marks a significant improvement in performance year on year, which combined with our high renewal rates will put CYBER1 in a strong position to realise material growth in 2019 and beyond.

During the first quarter the above organic growth has been realised at 288%. At CYBER1, our strong industry knowledge, highly accreditated staff and expertise in our vendor solutions gives customers a single provider for all of their cyber security needs.

This key mission statement for CYBER1, is in building long term trust with our partners and combining proven results in implementing our services and solutions. We strongly feel this client centred approach will result in longer term benefits to CYBER1, its customer portfolio and its Shareholders.

RESULTS IN DETAIL

Q1 2019 revenues across the Group have increased 485% (16.28m EUR), recording 19.63m EUR compared to 3.36m EUR in Q1 2018.

Consistently high organic annual revenue growth (without factoring in the newly acquired companies in Itway - Turkey and Itway - Greece) has been realised at 288% (9.68m EUR), when comparing Q1 2018 vs Q1 2019. The ability to engage with new enterprise clients in providing our unique offering, has increased our market presence within EMEA, coupled with the further opportunity to penetrate existing enterprise customers and provide a number of additional products and services to them is a positive sign that this revenue growth will persist.

A planned increase in operating expenditure of 1.56m EUR (56%) for Q1 2019 versus 2018, is due to the inclusion of two new subsidiaries that were assimilated within Q3 2018, combined with additional investment in marketing exposure and technical resources within the Group, Total Q1 2019 operating expenditure stood at 4.33m EUR (2.77m EUR Q1 2018). A planned shortfall in margins stretched the Group's cash position, pending debtor collections and the unwinding of deposits however all within managed parameters.
