I-design encourages with update

22/07/2011 Ben Jaglom

Advertising for cash points venture i-design (IDG) has issued an update in which it notes that it expects full year losses to be lower than market expectations.

The AIM-quoted concern reported that since the interim results released in June 'the positive revenue trend has continued into the second half of the year' adding that this 'upward momentum' is likely to lead to a loss before tax that will be 'significantly ahead of market expectations.'

It has been a strong year for i-design which has reported a number of contract wins with customers including Barclays and cash point operator Cardtronics, with the share price having more than doubled as a result.

In an interview with Growth Company Investor finance director Ian Sunter remarked that the company's 'growing momentum' has pushed it forward this year, adding that 'we are now executing much better at closing deals.' This year's launch of its joono technology was also mentioned as being key to having improved its prospects, adding that the contract win with Cardtronics had increased its overseas footprint.

Analysts at Arbuthnot lifted their loss before tax forecast for the year to September 2011 from a loss of £240,000 to a loss of £140,000 on sales forecasts that have been increased from £3 million to £3.2 million.

Recommended by Growth Company Investor this May at 30.5p and again this July at 41.5p the shares currently trade at 52.5p. Having grown impressively this year amidst a recovery in its markets we think shares in i-design could well have further to go as its customer base grows, and with it recurring revenues. We therefore retain our speculative buy rating.
