Commenting on the quarter’s results Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director, Paul Hamblyn said, “Given our aim to be profitable at a UK level this year the fact the UK business has now been profitable for the last four months is a great start. We have also sustained the positive cash position established over a year ago.” Mr Hamblyn added, “The priority remains the growth of our OSU fleet in order to ensure we meet our goals and to support future strategic growth.”

“The board recognise the need to invest in growth. The recent appointment of a new UK General Manager is part of this investment as too is the work currently underway to expand our sales team and enhance our marketing” said Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Elias Samaras. He added “While overall revenue was flat due to falling year-on-year turnkey revenue our energy revenue increased, leading to higher gross profits this quarter. Importantly our sales pipeline remains strong and so we remain confident we can achieve our targets.”

Outlook and risks

• Relative to 2018, the Company reports that there are a number of factors that could affect 2019 earnings. At a positive level these include the Company's ever-increasing operating fleet, the continued positive impact of more units being maintained in-house, rising utility prices and closure of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and the resultant increase to Climate Change Levy rates. Less favourably if the retail price spark spread narrows and any adverse price changes will likely adversely impact margins through the year. Proposed changes to the charging structure for electricity transmission and distribution costs have the potential to impact both revenue and margin of the Company’s OSU fleet 
• Management consider the overall outlook for financial performance for the remainder of 2019 to be good although failure to secure early OSU contracts increases the risk that profitability could be impacted as staffing costs increase in response to implementation of the Company’s growth plans
