As flagged in the pre-close trading statement, Solid State’s H118 revenue rose 12% y-o-y to £22.5m, though margins declined because of a change in mix, resulting in a 20% PBT dip to £1.6m. The order book at end October 2017 was £20.1m, ie 38% up on the prior year. This is a clear signal that management is able to deliver organic growth as well as building the group through acquisitions.
