THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES
OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014 WHICH IS
PART OF UK LAW BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT

Glantus Holdings plc
("Glantus" or the "Company" or the "Group")
FY 2022 Trading Update
Glantus (AIM: GLAN), the provider of Accounts Payable ("AP")
automation and analytics solutions announces a trading update
(unaudited) for the year ended 31 December 2022 ("FY 2022").
Trading performance
As indicated in the Company's interim results at the end of
September 2022, it has been a very challenging year for Glantus.
Accordingly, the Company expects to report, subject to audit,
revenue for FY 2022 of c.EUR10.8m and an adjusted EBITDA loss of
EUR2.1m before exceptional restructuring costs and any impairment
of goodwill from acquisitions.
These results have been impacted by a number of factors,
including the negative impact the global restructuring has had on
productivity, the relocation of the AP audit function to Costa Rica
and the delayed onboarding of some new opportunities. In addition,
the Board, having done a comprehensive review, has prudently
determined that a material amount of revenue which was anticipated
in FY2022 from two client contracts may not be achieved.
In response to the above, the Group has rapidly and decisively
restructured the business. This has achieved annualised cost
savings of over EUR3m by reducing the global workforce by 39
persons. In addition, there has been a further significant
reduction in operational infrastructure costs. This restructuring
has consolidated operations globally with a focus on technology-led
initiatives to drive margins and scale.
Alongside these cost savings, the Company has been able to
generate encouraging monthly billing amounts in recent months, with
average monthly billing in Q4 2022 of c.EUR1.22m and in excess of
EUR1.1m for January 2023. This billing performance combined with
the revised cost base means the Board believes the business is
poised to deliver strong margins and positive cash flow from
operations in 2023.
Balance sheet and potential equity subscription
As a result of the challenges during FY 2022, the Company
currently has low amounts of cash resources available for its use.
In addition, under the Company's existing banking facilities with
its lender, Beach Point Capital ("BPC"), the Company is due to
repay EUR5m in August 2023. The Company has been in discussions
with BPC regarding such repayment and confirms that it has received
from BPC a conditional commitment to extend the repayment date by
12 months to 31 August 2024 (the "Extension Commitment").
The Extension Commitment is conditional on both final legal
agreement and the Company raising GBP1.2m through an equity raise.
In order to satisfy the equity raise condition and increase the
cash resources available to it, the Company, later today, expects
to announce a conditional EUR1.4m subscription of new shares in the
Company at a price of 9.25 pence per share. There can be no
certainty that an equity subscription or an agreement for the BPC
extension will be completed. The Company will provide further
updates as appropriate.
