Microlise Group, the provider of transport management software to fleet operators, expressed confidence in meeting market views for 2023. The company anticipates posting revenue growth for the first half of the year, driven by demand from original equipment manufacturer customers.
Strong Revenue Expectations
For the six months ended June 30, Microlise Group expects to report revenue of £33.9 million, a significant increase from £30.7 million during the same period last year. This growth reflects the continued success and expansion of the company.

This positive development aligns with the group’s commitment to delivering against its order book for direct sales.
Sound Financial Position
As of June 30, Microlise Group boasts a net cash balance of £14.1 million. This solid financial foundation positions the company for future growth and expansion.
