Instem has reported FY 19A results consistent with the March-20 trading statement and in line with our forecasts. Double-digit revenue growth was confirmed for the year, alongside margin improvement and cash generation. Furthermore, revenue visibility remains high and operationally, all three business areas continue to deliver. We make reductions to forecasts following the announcement (FY 20E EBITDA -8%, FY 21E -9%), reflecting a more prudent view on the medium/longer term outlook for the group. Having seen limited impact from COVID-19 to date and with £6m gross cash on the balance sheet, we retain our view that Instem is well positioned to weather macro-driven turbulence.
