TPXimpact upgrades full-year EBITDA guidance

(Sharecast News) - TPXimpact upgraded its full-year EBITDA guidance on Tuesday, after strong third-quarter trading and confirmed more than £110m of new business secured year to date, as the group approached the end of its current three-year turnaround plan. For the year ending 31 March, the AIM-traded digital transformation specialist said it now expected adjusted EBITDA of no less than £7m, compared with previous guidance of £6m to £7m.

Net debt guidance was reaffirmed at below £6m, with leverage reduced to around 0.85 times net debt to EBITDA.

The group said strong trading in the quarter to 31 December and continued momentum into the fourth quarter underpinned the upgraded outlook.

Its board said it was pleased with profitability improvements and debt reduction achieved over the past three years and was finalising its 2027 financial year budget ahead of unveiling a new three-year growth plan.

TPXimpact confirmed that total new business secured so far in the current financial year exceeded £110m.

That included recently-announced contracts with DEFRA worth £39m, NHS England worth £22m with an option to extend to £33m, and an £11m uplift to an existing £49m contract with HM Land Registry.

The company also announced the appointment of Emma Broom as chief growth officer as it continued to invest in its sales function to support future expansion.

"We have successfully concluded our three-year turnaround plan, improving financial performance, streamlining operations and reducing debt," said chief executive Bjorn Conway.

"Reaching £110m in new business demonstrates our clients' confidence in us as a leading digital provider to the UK public sector.

"We now enter our next three-year growth phase with strong momentum, committed to delivering market-leading digital transformation in a large and growing addressable market."

The board said it was confident in the group's growth trajectory and improving profitability as it moves into the 2027 period.

At 1301 GMT, shares in TPXimpact Holdings were up 7.89% at 41p.
