Fidessa adjusted pre-tax profits fall

StockMarketWire.com

Fidessa posts adjusted pre-tax profits of £20.9m for the six months to the end of June - 5% down on last time.

Revenues were 1% lower at £139.3m and adjusted operating profits fell by 5% to £20.8m.

Chief executive Chris Aspinwall said: "Financial market conditions during the first half of 2013 have been changeable, with strong gains seen in the first quarter largely reversing during the second quarter. Trading volumes also provided mixed news, with equity trading in the first half of 2013 down on the same period last year but increased when compared to the second half of 2012.

"For many of our customers this has meant that whilst there has been some improvement in the conditions they face, this improvement has not been sufficiently strong or sustained to enable them to make investment decisions with confidence.

"As a result, we have seen some continuation of the attrition and price pressure we saw last year. Despite this pressure we have sustained and increased our investment programme, expanding our capabilities across assets, services and regions, and continued to win new deals.

"This expansion has allowed us to maintain our recurring revenues whilst we have seen a reduction in consultancy revenue as customers continue to manage discretionary spending tightly.

"The increase in our investment programme, particularly around our derivatives initiative as we roll-out our first global platforms, has had a small impact on margin."

Fidessa group plc Interim Management Statement

28th October 2013

Fidessa group plc (LSE: FDSA), provider of high-performance trading, investment
management and information solutions for the world's financial community, is
releasing its interim management statement for the period from 1st July 2013 to
date.

Fidessa has continued to experience international growth and developing
momentum during the third quarter of 2013. The financial markets remained
changeable which meant that whilst there has been some improvement in the
conditions Fidessa's customers face, for many this improvement has not been
sufficiently strong or sustained to enable them to make investment decisions
with confidence. As a result, Fidessa has seen some continuation of the
attrition and price pressure experienced during the first half and believes
that it is still too early to know whether a turning point has been reached.
However, the reduced level of headwind that Fidessa saw during the first half
from closures and consolidations in the industry has continued through the
third quarter and Fidessa has a strong pipeline, giving an indication that
improving conditions may be starting to filter through. Fidessa continues to
believe that a floor will be reached in the decline of equity markets which
will allow its core end markets to return to a more stable state. This will
enable the growth it is generating through sales of its derivatives platforms,
service-based platforms and regional expansion, to flow through into overall
revenue growth, rather than being masked by the decline in traditional
equities. As indicated before, this process is unlikely to contribute to the
current year and, combined with Fidessa's continued investment programme, means
that Fidessa continues to expect its performance in the second half of 2013 to
be similar to that seen in the first half.

Looking further ahead, Fidessa expects that it will see stability and
opportunity returning to the markets and believes that it may already be
starting to see both of these develop. This will reduce the headwinds Fidessa
is currently experiencing and, coupled with further openings as momentum
continues developing in its multi-asset initiative, will enable it to return to
growth levels closer to those that have been seen in the past. Fidessa remains
excited by the potential of its service-based offerings across all asset
classes and believes that it will continue to play an important role as the
markets focus on efficiency, transparency, compliance and performance.

Fidessa continues to have a strong balance sheet with strong reserves, no debt,
strong cash generation and substantial levels of recurring revenue.

· Improving conditions in all customer markets.

Fidessa group plc Interim Management Statement

28th April 2014

Fidessa group plc (LSE: FDSA), provider of high-performance trading, investment
management and information solutions for the world's financial community, is
releasing its interim management statement for the period from 1st January 2014
to date.

Fidessa has continued to see improvement in the trading conditions faced by its
customers across the markets in which it operates, and this is being reflected
in Fidessa's current deal pipeline. As reported with the 2013 results, and
consistent with the duration and depth of the downturn, this improvement is
somewhat uneven and means that many customers are still not able to make
investment decisions with confidence. As expected, the improvement is gradually
resulting in a reduction in the headwinds being faced, allowing the growth
being generated through sales of derivative platforms, service-based platforms
and regional expansion to flow through into overall revenue growth rather than
being masked by the decline in equities. Whilst a positive effect from this is
expected for 2014, Fidessa's recurring revenue model has the effect that some
of the impact from customer attrition in 2013 will flow through into 2014, and
means that modest constant currency growth is expected in 2014.

Looking further ahead, Fidessa believes that as stability and opportunity
return to the markets, the headwind reduction, coupled with further openings as
its multi-asset initiative gains momentum, will enable it to return to growth
levels closer to those seen in the past. Fidessa remains excited by the
potential of its service-based offerings across all asset classes and believes
that it will continue to play an important role as the customers focus on
efficiency, transparency, compliance and performance.

Fidessa continues to have a strong balance sheet with strong reserves, no debt,
strong cash generation and substantial levels of recurring revenue.
