Synectics plc (AIM: SNX), a leader in the design, integration, control and management of advanced surveillance technology and networked security systems, reports its audited final results for the year ended 30 November 2016.

Headlines:

  • Revenue up 4% to £70.9 million (2015: £68.5 million)
  • Underlying profit up over 80% to £2.6 million (2015: £1.4 million)
  • Profit before tax £2.0 million (2015: £0.5 million)
  • Underlying diluted EPS 12.4p (2015: 7.2p)
  • Diluted EPS 8.8p (2015: 2.5p)
  • Net cash at 30 November 2016 £2.2 million (2015: £0.5 million)
  • Year-end order book £26.2 million (2015: £26.6 million)
  • Recommended final dividend increased to 2.0p per share (2015: 1.0p)

Underlying profit represents profit before tax and non-underlying items (which comprise restructuring costs and amortisation of acquired intangibles). Underlying earnings per ordinary share are based on profit after tax but before non-underlying items.

Comparatives for 2015 have been adjusted throughout where necessary to reflect the change in treatment of share-based payments, which, as from the year ended 30 November 2016, have been included within underlying costs.

Commenting on the results, Paul Webb, Chief Executive, said:

'We will continue to build on the progress we have made, and I strongly believe that the actions we have already taken leave us better placed to deliver for our customers, and ultimately our shareholders - now and into the future.

'From our strong heritage in public space surveillance we have developed market-leading positions globally in gaming and oil & gas, as well as the UK bus & coach market.

'Great technology, a flexible attitude, and deep sector expertise are what set Synectics apart - and the business is well positioned for significant further growth.'
