On 7 February 2017, RM announced the proposed acquisition of the Education & Care business of Connect Group PLC (the "Acquisition").

RM expects results for the financial year ended 30 November 2017 to be ahead of expectations.

RM Resources benefited from organic revenue growth in the second half and RM Education experienced a resilient performance following the 2016 restructuring.

RM Results was in line with management expectations, having had a strong summer delivery.

Net debt at the year-end was £13.4m following the acquisition of The Consortium in June 2017.

RM said good progress is being made with the integration of The Consortium and better synergies, coupled with more scope for operational efficiencies, are now expected to realise benefits ahead of the initial expectations of £2m a year.

An agreement has also been reached with the trustees of the Consortium Care defined benefit pension scheme with regards to the triennial valuation as at 31 December 2016 at a deficit of £4.2m, with a recovery plan of £379,000 per annum over the next ten years.

Education technology provider RM boosted its annual profit by 10.3% on the back of rising sales.

Net profit for the year through December rose to £12.9m as revenue increased by 10.9% to £185.9m.

The company declared a final dividend of 6.60p, up 10% on the previous year.

'Going forward, despite the continued subdued UK Education market, 2018 has started in line with our expectations and we are confident of a year of good progress,' chief executive David Brooks said.
