Jeremy Ben-David, Waterlogic Group CEO, commented

“2011 was an extraordinary year for the Group. We changed from being a privately owned business, following 19 years of successful profitable growth, to becoming a public company admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange AIM Market.  Waterlogic revenue for the year was $84.9m, a growth of 24.3% over 2010. Adjusted operating profit was $8.3m. I am very pleased with this solid, first set of results following our admission to AIM, especially considering the general economic environment.

“While the external commercial environment is expected to remain challenging in 2012, the Directors remain confident about the Group’s Firewall™ technology projects, potential acquisitions being worked on, and the Group’s organic business. We enter 2012 with a $50.6m net cash position and we have a number of very attractive acquisition opportunities. Our core business is driven by both rental and service income and contract-based trade sales (31.8% recurring and 53.9% total contractual) and is therefore more resilient to economic cycles.”
