Brady PLC released its interim full year results for 2015 recently and in line with expectations, revenues were off 7% adjusted for currency, as a result of weaker market conditions in the second half of the year. Including in the impact of a weaker pound, the company’s results show a decline in all sources of revenues when compared to 2014, with license revenues declining 31%.

Operationally, the results met ComTech’s expectations for the company. With 20 new contracts signed in 2015, Brady continued to close business in line with 2014 and clearly competed well.

Bottom-line, the company lost 1.4m GBP before taxes and suspended dividends temporarily in order to maintain its strong balance sheet. Looking behind these numbers, we see additional confirmation
