Blue Prism Group plc provided trading guidance for the year ended October 31, 2016. The board reported that momentum has continued in the final quarter of the financial year. As such, the board expects to report trading for the year ended October 31, 2016 comfortably ahead of its existing expectations, upgraded at the time of the interim results announcement on June 28, 2016 and again at the time of the trading update on August 5, 2016. This positive performance was principally driven by: Strong new business wins in fourth quarter 2016; 39 new customers won in fourth quarter 2016, taking total customer base to 153; Significant upsells from existing customers demonstrating their increasing RPA adoption and validating the Group's 'land and expand' strategy; Channel partner ecosystem continuing to gain traction; Continued investment in growing US sales team and wider sales and marketing investments; and bringing forward investments previously scheduled for 2017 into the second half of 2016.
