GetBusy plc A successful year of growth with 22% constant currency increase

Daniel Rabie, CEO of GetBusy, comments:

“2018 was a successful year of growth for GetBusy, with a 22% constant currency increase in recurring revenue. Our strategy of building a long term sustainable growth business based on high quality recurring subscription revenues is delivering results, with a strong performance in each territory from our two existing products. We also passed important milestones in the development of GetBusy, our communication and productivity app, with the launch of the public beta and new website.

“In 2019 we will continue to invest in customer acquisition for SmartVault and Virtual Cabinet to drive sustained growth from each product. As the volume of beta users for GetBusy increases we will continue to learn from the data we gather and iterate the product and marketing strategy accordingly. 2019 looks set to be an exciting year.”

GetBusy plc (LON: GETB), a leading developer of document management and productivity software products, announces its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2018.
