Says Anna Lambiase, CEO of Ir Top Consulting as part of the conference "Tax credit on IPO costs and listing process on AIM". "The free float is just over 20%, average revenues in 2016 were 39 million, 20% more than the previous year, while ebitda rose by 18% to 5.1 million on average". The ebitda margin thus stood at 13 percent.
