IT services firm Calyx said today annual turnover was up 130% to €88.5m, compared to €38.4m in 2005.
The Aim and IEX-listed company said profit before tax was up 29% to €2.2m.
The figures take into account three acquisitions made during the year, and include results of Entropy for 10 months, the Matrix Companies for 6½ months and Mentec for half a month.
Adjusted earnings per share were up 49% to 10.61c.
Calyx said a focus on increasing the support services proportion of the business is benefiting trading and there were some notable contract wins in the second half of the year
Maurice Healy, CEO, said: 'In the year we concluded three significant transactions and as a result the Group has a substantial market position in the ICT services space across Ireland and the UK.'
In a statement to the Irish stock exchange earlier today Calyx said an independent sub-committee of the board has been formed to consider last month's bid approach from chief executive and company founder Maurice Healy.
The sub-committee consists of non-executive directors Gary Kennedy, Neil Parkinson and Nicholas Koumarianos, and Calyx says it has retained Davy Corporate Finance to act as financial adviser.
