**[Cerillion plc](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/cerillion-plc/cer.l)**(
[LON:CER](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/cerillion-plc/cer.l)),
the billing, charging and customer relationship management software solutions provider,
has announced an update on trading for the first six months of its current financial
year ending 30 September 2026.

The dominant feature of the first half was the signing in January of Omantel as 
a major new client in a contract worth c. £42.5m^(1) over its term. As previously
reported, this is Cerillion’s largest win to date and another valuable reference
customer. Software implementation remains on track and the contract is expected 
to contribute significantly in the second half of the financial year.

Like last year, Cerillion’s full year results are expected to be strongly weighted
to the second half of the financial year, with H1 revenue expected to be c. £18.0m(
H1 2025: £20.9m) and H1 EBITDA c. £6.2m (H1 2025: £9.9m). This reflects the timing
of contracts and the fact that, as anticipated, very little high-margin software
licence revenue was recognised in H1 2026. The expected stronger performance in 
H2 is underpinned by the anticipated unwinding of the very strong back-order book.
New orders^(2) have doubled to £39.6m as at 30 March 2026 (H1 2025: £19.6m), driven
principally by the January win, but also by demand from existing customers. The 
Company’s net cash at the half-year end was higher year-on-year at approximately
£32.5m (31 March 2025: £31.2m).

Given progress to date, the expected income mix in the second half and anticipated
new orders from existing customers, the Board believes that Cerillion remains well-
positioned to meet market expectations for the financial year. In addition, the 
pipeline of new business opportunities remains strong, and the Company continues
to invest in the business to support growth.  

Interim results will be published on 1 June 2026, when a further update on current
trading and prospects will be provided.
