Revenue and Profit Upgrade

 

Inspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM: IHC), the global medical technology company, is pleased to announce that it has continued to experience strong momentum since publishing its half year results in October 2020, that Group revenues and EBITDA for the financial year ending 31 January 2021 will exceed current market expectations and that the Group expects to report turnover of not less than £36.5 million and EBITDA1 of not less than £4.9 million.

The key driver for this increase in revenues and profits has been the strong performance achieved by S.L.E. Limited, the leading designer and manufacturer of ventilators for neonatal intensive care which was acquired by Inspiration Healthcare in July 2020 and which has seen sales increase steadily during the period of its integration into the Group.  Additionally, operational efficiencies already identified through the integration process have started to be achieved.

Neil Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "I am delighted to announce this increase in revenues and profits, which has been achieved in a very tough environment and so clearly demonstrates the quality of our products and services as well as the level of commitment that all our teams have dedicated to driving forward the growth of the Company this year. We remain very well placed for the future with a strong balance sheet and many opportunities for continued growth and we look forward with confidence."
