FINANCIALS: Parity posts slight increase in revenue

Parity Group has posted a marginal increase in year-on-year revenue, according to unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 June 2018.

The results, released this morning, reveal the UK information technology services organisation posted group revenues of £43.2m – up from £42.9m in the previous year, driven primarily from consultancy services revenue, which was up 30.8% year-on-year. The firm’s professionals division saw more muted revenue growth of 2.2% on the previous year.

Group net debt reduced from the previous year – down from £2.3m to £1.9m.

Elaborating on the group’s performance, Parity chairman John Conoley said: “Parity’s consulting business is well positioned to continue broadening its client base, as clients increasingly look for a solution which combines a deep understanding of analytics and underlying technologies with the ability to deploy up-to-date experts in the fast-evolving data capture and management field.

“As a result, we have targeted further investment in senior experienced operational management, and sales and marketing to drive continued growth.

“Without any further delays, we expect a stronger second half, in line with the group’s traditional seasonality, and to deliver on current expectations for the year as a whole. Our investment in the group continues to drive revenue and profit growth, supporting cashflow improvement and generating further shareholder value.”
