Successful Refinancing of Banking Facilities &
Notice of Results
iomart Group plc (AIM: IOM), the secure cloud services company, is pleased to announce the successful refinancing of its banking facilities.
The new Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF"), totalling £115 million, has been secured from a syndicate of the Group's existing lenders, comprising The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, HSBC UK Bank plc, and Clydesdale Bank plc (trading as Virgin Money). The facility extends to 30 June 2027 and includes financial covenants, limited to debt cover and interest cover, which are aligned with the Group's current leverage position and strategic objectives.
At current leverage levels, the bank margin under the new RCF is 3.0% above SONIA. The RCF includes a margin ratchet mechanism, enabling reduced interest costs as the Group deleverages.
Notice of Results
iomart now expects to announce its full year results for the year ended 31 March 2025 in late July 2025 and confirms that there has been no material change to trading since the pre-close trading update issued on 23 April 2025.
In the forthcoming full year results, the Group expects to recognise a non-cash exceptional goodwill impairment charge relating to the iomart Cloud Services Cash Generating Unit ("CGU"). This reflects both the strategic shift away from low growth, heritage product areas and the previously disclosed accelerated customer churn in certain areas of this CGU. Subject to audit, the impairment is expected to be approximately two-thirds of the CGU's current goodwill value of £83.1 million. This non-cash charge has no impact on the Group's operational performance or cash flows.
Scott Cunningham, CFO of iomart Group plc, commented:
"We are delighted to announce the completion of this refinancing, which provides iomart with flexibility and supports the execution of our growth strategy. We appreciate the continued support of our lending partners, reflecting their confidence in the strength and resilience of our business."
