Proactis SA - announcement January 2024
Proactis SA announces results for
the 18 months period ended 31 January 2024
Paris – 26 September 2024 – Proactis SA (Euronext: PROAC), a leading provider of comprehensive spend management and business process collaboration solutions, today announced financial information for the year ended 31 January 2024, in accordance with the “European Transparency Obligations Directive” financial disclosure requirements.
It should be noted at the outset that publication of the results for the year ended January 31, 2024, was originally scheduled for May 31, 2024. Unfortunately, Proactis SA was unable to keep to this timetable, as its statutory auditors were unwilling to issue their reports on the accounts for the period just ended before the completion of the audit of the accounts of Proactis SA's parent company by the group's UK auditors.
Period ended 31 January 2024 – Key Results:
The Proactis SA Board of Directors approved the accounts for the 18 months period ended 31 January 2024 on 10 September 2024, which have been formally certified by the auditors.
Presentation is done on 18 months due to the year-end date change to align with the Proactis Topco Limited Group year-end date change.
Revenues
Although the turnover of the Group looks greater due to the change in year-end; it is below the level of the prior period. This is mainly due to the non-renewal of 3 party solution contracts at the end of contract, or non-renewal of contract in specific non-core product areas. Revenue as presented includes revenue from the Group management fees and split is as follow:
Goodwill Impairment
Based on the value in use calculations established for the Proactis SA Group, it has been necessary to recognise an impairment. The value in use calculation reflects pipeline conversion delay and the slowdown in volume-related activities during the period under review. The recoverable amount was estimated based on their value in use of €3.3M. An impairment of €3.5M has therefore been recorded.
Other operating expenses
Proactis SA Group has recorded a depreciation of 10.9 million euros on the receivables it owns against the current accounts with sister entities. This write-down was recorded at the request of Proactis SA's statutory auditors. These current accounts result from intra-group transfer pricing billing and are not likely to be repaid in the short term.
Profitability
The Company recorded an EBITDA for the period ended 31 January 2024 of €2.0M (€2.8M for the year ended 2022).
Net Earnings were € (16.6)M versus year ended 31 July 2022: € 0.3M.
Cashflow
In the period ended 31 January 2024, the Group's operating cash-flow was €3.2M. Capital investment remained strong, at €3.0M, and was focused on the Company's strategic solution suite; The Business Network. The Group had positive cash balances of €0.6M on 31 January 2024 (31 July 2022: €0.9M).
