In reaction to the report, Kaino’s share price has plunged 7% to 1,908p.
Brendan Mooney, CEO of Kainos, remarked: “We have remained focused as a business, maintaining our high levels of customer satisfaction and employee engagement; while simultaneously delivering record levels of sales, revenue, adjusted pre-tax profit and cash.”
Looking ahead, Kainos is confident, stating that that demand for all of its services will remain high as the pandemic has accelerated the move towards greater digitisation.
Meanwhile, over the medium-term, Kainos said it remains well-placed to deliver further growth.
In addition, the board declared an interim dividend of 7.1p.
