Gentrack Suspends Full Year FY20 Guidance
Gentrack Group Ltd (NZX/ASX: GTK) (“Gentrack”) announces that it is withdrawing its
full year FY20 guidance.
John Clifford, Gentrack’s Executive Chairman noted, “We advised the markets on the
20
th
January 2020 that we expected full year FY20 EBITDA
1
to be between NZ$8m and
$12m. However, we have made the decision to withdraw full year guidance at this time
as a result of the rapidly increasing uncertainty surrounding the duration and scale of
the COVID-19 outbreak. We have made this decision due to the potential impact to on-
going projects and our sales pipeline.”
“Half year guidance remains as previously advised at the annual meeting of
shareholders, being EBITDA
1
of between NZ$2m – $3m.”
“Gentrack has a strong balance sheet, no net debt and contractually recurring revenue
that continues to provide a strong foundation for the business at this time of significant
uncertainty.”
“As part of our business continuity plans (BCP) in light of COVID-19, we have
undertaken detailed planning activities across our global operations. We understand
the importance of a robust BCP that safeguards the wellbeing of our people and
ensures that we can continue to deliver our solutions and services to meet customer
expectations and our commitments to customers.”
Gentrack expects to provide an update on full year guidance with the half year results
in May.
