Trading Statement





SafeCharge (AIM: SCH), the international provider of payments services, risk management and IT solutions for online businesses, provides the following trading update ahead of its 2014 full year results which will be announced in the latter half of March 2015.



Trading in the fourth quarter continued to be strong. As a result, the Company expects that Adjusted EBITDA* for the full year will be ahead of market expectations and at least US$24.5 million.



In addition to the strong trading performance, the period was notable for a number of operational advances including the Company receiving approval for Issuing Activity by MasterCard Europe and the separate acquisitions of CreditGuard and 3V Transaction Services. These acquisitions, which completed in the second week of January, will expand SafeCharge's product offering and accelerate entry into new markets.



December was an extremely strong month for the Company. This momentum has continued into January and the Directors look forward with confidence for the 2015 financial year.



*Adjusted EBITDA is calculated after adding back certain non-cash charges and cash expenses including those relating to professional costs incurred in respect of the Company's Initial Public Offering and terminated projects.

IC - Safecharge's customer numbers are growing rapidly which helps to explain the staggering 78% improvement in revenue last year. This more than doubled adjusted cash profit - excluding acquisition and IPO costs - to $24.7m. The business is highly cash generative , with cash flows from operations of $20.8m last year- close to double the 2013 figure.

Hello dreamcatcher, I've been buying here over the last few days so hoping to replicate OPAY!

I think it will Greyhound, Sagi has a good record .

Absolutely - you can't afford not to be in payment systems the way things are going to explode with smart phones in the next few years. Multi-bagger in the waiting one hopes.

Good numbers. Might start hitting a few more radars...

Naked Trader today - I bought some Safecharge (LON:SCH) which we discussed at the seminar. Four reasons for buying.

A. It looks cheap. Trading on a low multiple looking at forecast next profit and the current market cap. I would rate it nearer 300p.

B. It has tons of cash.

C. It pays a massive dividend, nearly 7%!

D. It looks a sitting duck for a takeover from a bigger payments company such as Paysafe or Worldpay.

Downside? Perhaps it could lose a major customer. And its shares look a tad suspiciously cheap but I am willing to take that risk! And there seems to be a big supply of shares stopping upside. Anyway I have bought quite a few.

Now I did buy some of these at 204 .

Well done.
