Trading Update

Blue Prism (AIM:PRSM), a global leader in Robotic Process Automation ("RPA"), is pleased to announce a pre-close Trading update in respect of the six months ended 30 April 2018.

The business started the year strongly and has continued to generate strong sales momentum in the first half of the financial year, driven by customer wins and strong upsells with existing customers through our global partner ecosystem.

During the first half, the Group secured 559 software deals; of which 223 were new customers, 298 were upsells to existing customers and 38 were renewals. Given this commercial progress, the Board now expects to report revenue for the year to 31 October 2018 comfortably ahead of current consensus expectations and an adjusted EBITDA loss broadly in line with current consensus expectations.

Blue Prism will be announcing its Interim Results for the six months ended 30 April 2018 on Tuesday, 26 June 2018.

Note:

The Board's compiled current consensus expectations are £47.5m recognised revenue and £18.9m adjusted EBITDA loss.
