Equals' brief trading update reads positively, disclosing revenue and adj EBITDA for FY20E comfortably ahead of our earlier forecasts. There has also been a notable beat on net cash, as operating cash break-even has been reached via the streamlining of costs over the year. December 2020 trading appears to have been particularly strong, giving good momentum into FY21E. We view the current outlook positively, given recent greater clarity over Brexit and a potential rebound in UK travel (affecting

Today's trading update demonstrates Equals producing robust FY20E revenues, as it rebounds steadily from a COVID-19 affected Q2/20. Material progress has been made on rightsizing costs, the benefits of which should be felt in FY21E. While our newly reissued forecasts expect a weaker profit delivery in H2/20E, we expect strong YoY EBITDA growth thereafter, as the group returns to double-digit revenue growth with a rationalised cost base and geared profit growth. Should these forecasts be met, we
To achieve YoY revenue growth over H1/20A despite the challenges of Covid-19 and its impact on the travel sector is testament to Equals' resilience and increasing focus on B2B and International payments services. While weaker gross profit and EBITDA margins have impacted profitability in H1/20, we see potential for an earnings recovery in H2/20 given cost reduction measures currently being undertaken. This should lead Equals to cash breakeven in Q4/20 and FCF positive by early FY21.

Equals has delivered flat H1/20E revenues, exhibiting trading resilience in view of headwinds brought about by Covid-19. While there was a slowdown across all segments over Q2/20, Equals' evolving B2B focus and strong International payments growth has supported trading. There are tentative signs of recovery in those areas of weaker performance, boding well for H2/20E. While the speed of that recovery is uncertain, we refrain from reissuing forecasts with our recommendation unchanged.
Equals' FY19A results confirm another year of strong, double-digit revenue and adj EBITDA growth. The move to a B2B focused offering continues to progress and looks well timed in view of Covid-19's impact on overseas travel. While the pandemic impacted Q2/20E trading early on, we note June KPI's indicate a positive rebound. Given the continued uncertainty as to Covid's full impact upon FY20E trading, we refrain from reissuing forecasts and thus leave our recommendation under review.
Today's update confirms Equals delivered another quarter of significant revenue growth YoY, delivered by organic and acquisitive means. Performance across the product range has varied unsurprisingly and we expect these trends to continue over Q2/20E. Given the great uncertainty over the duration and severity of COVID-19's impact on the group, we withdraw FY20-21E forecasts and place our recommendation Under review, awaiting further clarity. Equals is supported by a strong, debt-free, balance she
