This momentum increased in Q1 2023 beating management&#8217;s expectations with unaudited revenue expected to be approximately\u00a0\u00a31.95m\u00a0versus\u00a0\u00a30.95m\u00a0for the same period last year. This better-than-expected performance reflects growth across the Group&#8217;s business and the progress being made as a result of the increased focus on revenue generation with the sales team that was introduced at the end of last year and an expanding partnership network. Additionally the Group achieved its first, unaudited, quarter of being EBITDA positive.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Board is extremely pleased with the exceptional performance for Q1 2023, but do not expect this exceptional Q1 trading to continue at the same rate in Q2 2023, with management expecting revenues to revert to its original budgeted levels for the period. However, the Board remains cautiously optimistic for rest of the financial year.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Group will provide further details on progress in its final results announcement, for the year ended\u00a031 December 2022, which is expected to be issued during\u00a0May 2023.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>James Hickman, CEO of Cornerstone, said:<\/strong><br \/><br \/><em>&#8220;This has been an exceptionally strong quarter for Finseta. We have generated substantial revenue growth, compared to the same quarter last year, driven by our enhanced sales efforts as we focus on commercialising our existing platform. I am delighted that we achieved our first EBITDA positive quarter. We are cautiously optimistic both in terms of revenue performance and EBITDA positivity for the 2023 financial year. We look forward to providing a further update at the time of our full year results.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cornerstone FS\u00a0Plc (AIM: CSFS), a foreign exchange and payments company offering multi-currency accounts to businesses and individuals, is pleased to provide the following unaudited update on trading for the first quarter to 31 March 2023.
