H1 Trading Update

Celebrus Technologies plc (AIM: CLBS, "the Group", the "Company", "Celebrus"), the AIM-listed data solutions provider, provides the following trading update for the six months to 30 September 2024.

As previously announced on 9 July 2024, the board has decided to convert to reporting results in US Dollars4 from the year commencing 1 April 2024, as the majority of the Group's revenues are and will continue to be derived from large global customers who typically contract in US Dollars.

Results1 are expected to be in line with management expectations, with revenues of approximately $17.0 million (H1 FY24: $16.2 million) and adjusted profit before tax2 of approximately $ 1.0 million (H1 FY24: profit of $0.2 million).

Annual recurring revenue ("ARR" 3) increased during the period to $26.2 million (31 March 2024: $25.5 million, 30 September 2023: $21.3 million).

The cash balance at the half year end was robust at $25.5million (31 March 2024: $38.8 million, 30 September 2023: $17.9 million), and the Group remains debt free.

These factors provide us with confidence of another year of progress and the delivery of a full year performance in line with management expectations.
