“Boku increased revenue by 40%, EBIDTA positive for second half of the year” Jon Prideaux, CEO

Jon Prideaux, Boku LON:BOKU CEO, commented on the trading update : “2017 was a pivotal year for Boku. By tripling our TPV, increasing our revenue by 40% and having positive adjusted EBITDA for the entire second half we have helped our customers to acquire millions of extra paying users and laid the foundations for further growth. 2017 also encompassed our successful Admission to AIM, which has enabled us to accelerate our growth plans.

“We’re seeing the benefits of scale playing through: by processing more volume, Boku can both have a lower unit cost and support a cost base that allows us to deliver a wider array of products and services to our customers.

“We remain focused on growth: we will roll out our existing customers and products into new territories and develop new services, leveraging our core carrier integration capabilities, in the areas of location, authentication and identity.”
