Nick Bolton, Chief Executive of OMG plc, commented,

“I am delighted that yet again our results are ahead of expectations, setting new records of achievement both in revenues and profits in our traditional business, whilst our two new businesses have made excellent progress.

“Within 2d3 AIG, our MoD contract wins, which include winning the Competition of Ideas initiative, are a strong endorsement of our technology, and our recent decision to open 2d3 Inc in the US offers us an exciting opportunity to expand our presence overseas. In addition to these developments, we have made great strides within Yotta, with a number of local council contract wins and, most recently, the DCL acquisition, which has given us additional scale, experience and key relationships, which will enhance the growth of our business.

"I remain confident that with our technology we will continue to consolidate our position in the new areas of defence and street level imaging and highway data collection as well as maintain our leading position in motion capture. I am extremely excited about the many opportunities open to the company and the progress I am certain we will make in the next 12 months and beyond."
