Trading update



1Spatial, the Spatial Big Data Company which manages the world's largest spatial data, is pleased to provide a trading update for the 12 months ended 31 January 2014 ahead of its full year results to be announced on 13 May 2014.



The Company produced a solid performance over the year and confirms that Adjusted* EBITDA and overall results for the year will be in line with market expectations. The Company enters the new financial year with a strong order back-log in excess of £7m and a significant pipeline of opportunities.



Following the placing and the acquisition of Star-Apic in June 2013, the company maintains a strong balance sheet position with year-end cash at 31 January 2014 of £11.1m, following the payment of £0.6m to purchase the final 10% of Star-Apic in January 2014, which was acquired ahead of plan.



Key events that took place during the year ended 31 January 2014 were as follows:



- Raised £17.1m through an over-subscribed placing of shares to fund future growth

- Completed the strategically important acquisition of Star-Apic

- Established a world-wide organisational infrastructure

- Broadened and enhanced our core off-the-shelf product offerings and commenced the integration of Star-Apic product and service offerings into our range

- Continued success with existing customer base; Ordnance Survey Great Britain contract extension announced in January 2014 valued at £2m and the US Census contract extension valued at £1.3m, announced in November 2013

- Success in new geographies and new sectors such as Smart Cities, for example in the municipalities of Rabat, Tangier and Tetouan in Morocco who have implemented our Elyx Smart City solution to manage the water, sewage and electricity networks for the municipalities.

- Strengthened our Board of directors with the appointment of David Richards as Deputy Non-Executive Chairman. David is the CEO of WANdisco plc and brings 15 years' experience of the software industry to the Board.

- Post period-end: Rebranded the Group globally as 1Spatial from 1 February 2014



Against this backdrop and with a strong order back-log and significant pipeline of opportunities across a number of geographies and industry verticals, the Board remains confident in the Company's future trading prospects. 1Spatial is entering an exciting period of growth well-funded and with the structure in place to evolve and execute our strategy. 2014/15 will see us continue to develop our product and service offerings and to develop new geographic and industry markets.



*Adjusted refers to before integration, strategic and other one-off items





Marcus Hanke, Chief Executive of 1Spatial said:



"The year ended 31 January 2014 has been one of building. Our results were in line with expectations and show good growth. At the same time, we raised significant funding, completed a major acquisition and set in place the structure to support greater future growth.



We have a strong team in place and an exceptional product offering. The Company has an impressive and growing customer base and a healthy pipeline of opportunities. The Board looks forward to the future with confidence."

Shares - 1Spatial’s time is coming


It’s been said in the past that 1Spatial (SPA:AIM) was too early to the Big Data space. It struggled simply because many customers and potential clients assumed the theme was for the future, not the present. But this seems to be changing and today’s confirmation of in-line results for the year to January 2014 underscores the rapid growth potentially capable by this £44 million business.

Today’s announcement was relatively short, but sweet too. This line is encouraging: ‘The Company produced a solid performance over the year and confirms that adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) and overall results for the year will be in line with market expectations.’

Yet this bit is more important for the future: ‘The Company enters the new financial year with a strong order back-log in excess of £7 million and a significant pipeline of opportunities.’ Investors certainly like the cut of 1Spatial’s jib, the shares jumping 8% to 6.75p. This, however, remains way down on the 10.5p levels seen at the start of the year, the shares slumping as part of a wider technology sell-off.


To re-cap, 1Spatial’s software is used to create, manage, analyse and display geospatial data. Customerso includes Unilever (ULVR), Unisys, US Census, Ordnance Survey GB, the Brazilian Army, and Ordnance Survey Ireland. Tapping investors for £18 million last year to buy a 75% stake in Star-Apic, a Belgium-based provider of Geographic Information Systems software and solutions specialising in land and infrastructure management, it significantly bolster 1Spatial’s scope and scale, with sales and support teams bolstered in new Middle East offices. It also helps ongoing R&D and provides the firepower for more acquisitions down the line. It’s worth noting that the business now owns all of Star-Apic after buying the last 10% slug of the company in January this year.

Interestingly, 1Spatial is not burning cash as fast as it might, or was expected to. With £11.1 million on its books, or 25% of its market value, that’s more than the £10.8 million analysts at N+1 Singer anticipated at this stage. And that’s after the spending £600,000 for that last Star-Apic stake not expected by the City, equating to nearly £1 million cash better off.

Singer forecasts revenue of £18.6 million for the year to January, from which investors can expected rough £1.1 million of adjusted EBITDA. For the financial year to January 2015 the company is forecast to produce £24.2 million revenue and £2.8 million EBITDA.

Seem to have hit the bottom and now rebounding.

The recovery continues

glad to see it moving in the right direction but i had this from avision (i think) days and got a long way to go.,.

Lets hope it gets to your target Bb.

Another good leg up today - 6.45%
