Glasgow cloud services firm reports "year of transition" in latest financial results. 23 Jun 2026, 07:56 A Glasgow-based cloud services firm has reported its latest financial results that it said were in line with market expectations and reflect the company's "ongoing transition". Total revenue at Iomart for the year ended 31 March 2026 was £154.9m, up from £143.5m the year prior, which was largely due to full year contributions from Atech. Excluding recent acquisitions, the business experienced a revenue decline of 8 per cent year-on-year primarily driven by customer churn in Iomart private cloud managed services alongside the impact of lower opening run-rate. The group secured gross order bookings of £20.6m of ARR during the year, compared with £20m (excluding Atech contribution) in the prior year. However, this performance was offset by an increase in customer churn, which in total amounted to £21.2m in the year (2025: £19.5m). In the final quarter renewal cycle, churn amounted to £8.4m, largely within lower margin Microsoft Modern Work offerings, where competition has intensified, and the last of the Group's legacy high margin back-up platform customers. The results were consistent with the group's transition away from legacy technologies towards more modern, longer term next-generation platforms and rebuilding growth within higher value cloud and managed service offerings including security and data protection. The reduction in the firm's legacy and private cloud revenues, and the evolution of the mix of revenue has had a negative impact on adjusted EBITDA which decreased to £25.6m, down from £34.3m the year before. Adjusted EBIT stood at £5.2m, down from £12.8m the year before, and adjusted loss before tax was £4m (2025: £6.5m profit). Operational highlights during the year included the successful integration of Extrinsica into Atech, consolidating all Microsoft operations into one practice under a single management structure. Craig MacKay was also appointed group chief operating officer in April 2026, with responsibility for both sales and operations across Iomart Cloud Services and Atech. Richard Last, executive chair commented on the results: "FY26 has been a year of transition and repositioning for Iomart. The Group has taken decisive steps to redefine its operating model, enhance business unit accountability and position the business for sustainable long-term growth. "I am pleased to report that we delivered on our £4m annualised cost savings target, resulting in a structurally leaner and more focused organisation. "The financial results reflect the ongoing transition away from legacy technologies, with churn, particularly elevated in the final quarter, weighing on near-term performance. "However, we have maintained strong cash generation, refreshed our banking facilities, and entered FY27 with a clearer strategic framework and more defined business unit structure to drive better performance and focus on distinct growth areas. "Our focus for FY27 is clear, to rebuild growth momentum in higher-value cloud, security and data protection services, continue our cost optimisation programme, and leverage our strong VMware and Microsoft credentials as both markets undergo significant transition."
