Directorate Change



Trakm8, the AIM-listedtelematics and data provider to the global market place,is pleased to announce it has acquired the business and assets of DCS Systems Ltd ("DCS") for a cash consideration of £3.3 million (the "Acquisition").



Acquisition

DCS specialises in the design and distribution of camera systems for the motor vehicle, bicycle and security markets. DCS trades under three main brands: RoadHawk, Dogcam and Lawmate.



The Acquisition is in line with Trakm8's strategy of augmenting its organic growth with selective acquisitions that expand its telematics offering to both insurance and fleet customers. Cameras are being increasingly used in a wide range of applications, including a significant demand for forward facing vehicle cameras to record driving incidents and to mitigate the risk from 'crash for cash' accidents. Trakm8 has an existing relationship with DCS, supplying some Trakm8 customers with its RoadHawk cameras.



DCS's last unaudited accounts for its financial year ending 30 April 2015 reported revenues of £2.8 million and profit before tax of £0.6 million. Trakm8 funded the Acquisition from its existing cash and bank facilities. Trakm8 has also obtained a further debt facility from HSBC Bank of an additional £2 million taking the total debt facility to £5.7 million, of which £3.7 million is now drawn down following the Acquisition. DCS will continue to be based in Bodmin, Cornwall and has six staff.



The Acquisition is expected to be immediately earnings enhancing.



Directorate change



Reflecting the strong growth of the Group, Trakm8 is also pleased to announce a strengthening of the Board of Directors with three new appointments. These are expected to enhance its corporate governance and ensure it has the management team to implement its growth plans and integrate acquisitions successfully.



Bill Duffy is joining the Board as an additional independent Non-Executive Director. Bill has considerable commercial experience having been CEO of Andrew Page, Halfords Autocentres and a number of other leading automotive aftermarket companies. He has also been a consultant to the Board over the past 12 months.



In addition Trakm8 is appointing two executives to be Directors of the Group: Sean Morris, as Group Engineering Director and Mark Watkins as Group Operations Director. Sean joined the Group six months ago following senior engineering positions at Continental UK, RAC and Aston Martin. Mark joined the Group 15 months ago as the Managing Director of BOX Telematics following a successful career in IT and operations at Continental UK and Ford Motor Co.



John Watkins, Executive Chairman of Trakm8 comments:

"The acquisition of DCS marks another significant milestone in Trakm8's growth strategy and reflects the growing demand from our fleet and insurance customers for camera applications. We plan to deepen the integration of the camera technology into our telematics solutions for both our fleet and insurance clients.



"Video data is increasingly used to monitor behaviour and to replay outcomes. The increase in the richness of the data generated by our telematics solutions will continue the trend of the increasing value for money in our propositions."

AGM Statement & Trading Update



Trakm8 Holdings plc, the AIM listed telematics and data supplier to global markets, is today holding its Annual General Meeting. Executive Chairman John Watkins will be making the following statement on current trading at the meeting.

Trakm8 is pleased to advise that trading in the first five months of the current financial year commencing 1 April 2015 has started well. Group new orders booked have been received at a rate of 19% greater than the same period last year. This continues the trend of strong organic growth of recent years. The early weeks of DCS' camera sales, following its acquisition in June, have been at the expected levels. Overall, Group revenues are considerably higher than last year benefiting from higher order books and contributions from acquisitions.

Recurring revenues also continue to grow with 127,000 units now reporting to our servers, an increase of 24,000 since the last financial year end.

A new customer contract with Bibby Distribution was announced in June and the installations have already started. A BLE (bluetooth low energy) diagnostic version of our T10 telematics device has been launched and supplied to customers in the UK and USA. Further T10 derivatives are in the final stages of approvals.

The Board is confident that, with this good start to the current financial year, the Group remains on course to achieve its expectations for the full year.

Capital Markets Event



Following the AGM, the Company is hosting a Capital Markets presentation for analysts and investors, from 10.30 - 12.00 at the same location. Private investors are welcome to attend. Those wishing to attend the presentation should pre-register their interest by e-mailing MHP Communications at trakm8@mhpc.com

No new material financial information will be disclosed in the presentation.

Trakm8 reassured with its AGM statement. This one has been a terrific performer and many will be anticipating more good news around the corner to bring out the upgrades.

The rating looks up with events, for now, but this one has a track record of exceeding expectations! - See more at: http://www.investorschampion.com/blog/

trakm8-makes-strong-start-to-the-year-says-chairman

IC - The groups shares trade at 20 times forecast earnings for the year to March 2016, but that is expected to fall to an attractive rating of 14 times the following year. We think investors should strap in and enjoy the ride.

Major demand for the product, sp flying.

ST of IC today - On a bid-offer spread of 240p to 245p, I would run your 166 per cent paper gain ahead of what will likely be a positive trading update alongside a bumper set of half year results in early December. Run profits.
