“Whilst COVID-19 has impacted some new business development, RM has won new contracts to deliver end-to-end digital assessments and school cloud solutions.,” RM said in its press release.
Last year the company’s year-end debt position was £15 million, but it is expected to be below £5 million for 2020.
“The increased focus on ensuring education systems can deliver through the pandemic, the resilience RM has shown in 2020 and the longer-term shift to digital enablement in education, means RM remains well placed to make progress,” said RM Chief Executive, David Brooks.
RM shares are currently trading at 232p, up 12.62% from Wednesday’s close at 202p.
