7Digital Group PLC expects that by increasing the investment in its core platform in 2017, it can accelerate the integration of the two businesses. This will allow for quicker cost reductions and higher profitability in 2018. The Board now expects 2017 to result in a combined loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of approximately £1.5 million, much reduced when compared to that of 2016. In 2018 profits are anticipated to increase significantly to an estimated EBITDA of £3.4 million compared with previously anticipated £1.9 million. The Board is confident that 2018 will be a year of profitability and positive operating cash flow as the full benefits of the Acquisition are realised.
