mirada plc. (MIRA.L), an audiovisual content interaction specialist, reported Friday that its first-half pre-tax loss was 822 thousand pounds, compared to last year's loss of 173 thousand pounds.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was 0.09 million pounds, compared to prior year's profit of 0.52 million pounds, reflecting costs incurred from delivery of Tier 1 customer project during the first half.
Revenue was 2.19 million pounds, lower than 2.30 million pounds a year ago. The revenues reflected the fact that certain backoffice licence revenues related to the deployment of inspire with Tier 1 Customer will be recognised in the second half of the year. This was due to IFRS policy, which states they can only be recognized following the commercial launch.
Overall, the company expects that total revenue for the year will be in line with market expectations.
Looking ahead, the company said it remains on track for full year performance to be in line with market expectations with around 96% visibility of full year consensus revenues.
