ZIGUP plc (LON:ZIG), the leading integrated mobility solutions platform providing services across the vehicle lifecycle, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 10.30 a.m. today at the offices of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, Governor’s House, 5 Laurence Pountney Hill, London, EC4R 0BR.
At the meeting the following statement will be made:
‘The Group has performed well over the first four months of the financial year. VoH is ahead of the prior year and good vehicle supply has supported our fleet replacement plans. Activity levels in Claims & Services are as expected, alongside continued stable hire durations and it is now entering the traditionally busier autumn and winter period.
We have extended contracts with a number of insurance customers in this period, typically including expanded capacity or products. This reflects the benefits customers see in our integrated offering. We are also preparing for the go-live of a new significant insurance broker customer. Spain continued to grow its footprint through the opening of the first of two new service locations scheduled for the first half.
As part of our strategic technology roadmap, we have launched our new Operations Control Centre, supporting growth of our specialist roadside assistance services. We commenced roll-out of an upgraded UK call-centre infrastructure bringing new functionality and greater efficiency to incident responses. We also launched another direct hire portal for a major insurance partner and have seen an excellent response to the new Spanish e-Auction features.
Leverage is in line with our target range of 1-2x, and our balance sheet is supported by £1.6bn of fleet assets as at end of August.
The Board remains confident of the Group’s long term growth strategy and prospects and our outlook for the year remains unchanged’.
