Transport technology company Tracsis has reported a fall in profits in its full-year results, despite strong performance from its railways division.

In its unaudited results for the 12 months to the end of July 2020, the company reported an operating profit of £4.3 million, down from £6.7 million in the previous financial year.

Revenue was down slightly to £48 million, compared to £49.2 million a year earlier.

Tracsis's Rail Technology & Services Division's performance exceeded expectations, growing revenue by 17% and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation by 33%.

However, the Covid-19 pandemic hit the company's Traffic & Data Services Division by an estimated £10 million of revenue, although it said action had been taken to reduce its cost base and to mitigate the impact.
