Notice of Results and Trading Update

Outsourcery plc (AIM: OUT, 'Outsourcery' or 'the Group'), the leading Cloud Service Provider and provider of cloud-based unified communications solutions, announces it will release its full year results for the year ended 31 December 2015, by 30 June 2016.

The unaudited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2015 were as follows:

*Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortisation, restructuring costs, employee share based payment costs and listing fees and is considered by the Directors to be a key measure of financial performance.

**Adjusted (loss) from continuing operations is defined as earnings before restructuring costs, employee share based payment costs and listing fees.

***Adjusted (loss) per share has been disclosed to give a clear understanding of the Group's underlying trading performance. It has been calculated using the underlying earnings figures above and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue.

Whilst the full year results and current trading are in line with the Board's expectations, this view factors in that revenue growth from the Company's strategic partners has been impacted by further partner product launch delays outside of Outsourcery's control.

The Company will require further funding for short term working capital purposes and is therefore investigating alternative solutions to its short term cash needs including fundraising, restructuring and the disposal of non-strategic business assets. The Company is in an ongoing dialogue with its principal secured lender to agree certain consents required to allow for an appropriate solution to be implemented, which is expected to provide working capital for the ongoing unified communications business.

The Company also continues to develop its direct sales capability and revenue opportunities with certain of its partners to concentrate on its developing market-leadership position in cloud-based Skype for Business. Further details of customer wins will be provided in due course.
