Full Year Trading Update

Osirium Technologies plc (AIM: OSI), a leading vendor of cloud-based cybersecurity software, today provides an update on the trading for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 ahead of its audited final results.

The Board is pleased to announce that, subject to completion of the audit, it expects to report bookings and revenue for the 12 months to 31 December 2022 of at least £3.0 million (2021: £1.6 million) and £1.9 million (2021: £1.4 million) respectively, in line with recently upgraded market expectations.

Osirium's annual recurring revenue ("ARR") for December 2022 was £1.8 million, an increase of 28% over the prior financial year (December 2021 ARR: £1.4million), and deferred revenue at 31 December 2022 was £2.7 million, providing the Group good visibility as it starts the new financial year. Following the placing and subscription, announced on 22 November 2022, the cash balance as at 31 December 2022 was £1.1 million.

Osirium has continued to maintain its rate of customer acquisition in 2022, with new customers signed from an increasing range of sectors and geographies, including a first contract signed in the US. Alongside this, the Group's average initial contract value for new customers increased by 93% over the course of the year, reflecting a recognition across the Group's target sectors and geographies of the need to fortify their cybersecurity defences over the long term.

In addition to its core Privileged Access Management ("PAM") product, there has been a considerable growth in demand for Osirium's Privileged Process Automation and Privileged Endpoint Management products in the year, both as standalone products to new customers and as add-ons to PAM contracts. Looking ahead to 2023, the Group continues to focus on growing the services it delivers to its customers through cross-selling and upselling, while expanding its customer base through new customer acquisition.  

Stuart McGregor, Chief Executive Officer of Osirium, commented:

"2022 was another year of progress against our financial and strategic objectives, in which we have succeeded in growing our average contract value and securing more multi-year contracts, which provide a good visibility of revenue for future years and a greater opportunity for up-selling and cross-selling our products and services".

"Our momentum in customer acquisition has continued in the second half and our sales pipeline underpins our confidence going into the new financial year. We are confident we have the right teams in place across our direct sales channel and our global channel partner network to continue to expand our presence across new and existing sectors and geographies.

"As stated at the time of our fundraise in November, the Board's focus is on reducing the timeframe to the Company becoming cash flow break-even through revenue growth and tight cost control. With an expanded customer base, an innovative product suite and healthy demand for privileged security, we approach 2023 with confidence in the Group's growth prospects."
