Accsys said underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) improved to a €0.7m loss in the second half of year compared to €2.8m loss in first half. It said a 30% gross margin from the manufacturing of Accoya continues to be achievable.
Paul Clegg, Accsys chief executive, reported excellent progress on projects to increase the manufacturing footprint at Arnhem and Hull to more than double capacity by mid-2019, with a 50% increase “going live now”.
