Financial profile

The learning technologies and talent management sectors are enjoying unprecedented global growth and there is considerable investor interest. Learning Technologies Group is the only AIM-listed company that is focused on consolidating the learning technologies sector. LTG aims to deliver strong organic growth complemented by strategic acquisitions financed through strong operating cash flows, debt finance and share issues. LTG comprises a Software and Platforms division that accounts for approximately 70% of Group revenues on a proforma basis. The division typically sells multi-year SaaS licences and enjoys high customer retention rates. The Content & Services division typically delivers shorter-term, fixed price projects to clients and the Group has an enviable record in nurturing long-term relationships with its international customer base. Approximately 70% of LTG’s business is undertaken in the US, with the UK and Europe accounting for the majority of the balance. LTG enjoys strong operating cash flows and generates industry leading profit margins. The Company’s policy is to pay a moderate and progressive dividend.

Our goals

Learning Technologies Group’s aim is to build a dynamic portfolio of complementary businesses and an international full-service digital learning and talent management business of scale, through a combination of strong organic growth as well as strategic acquisitions that complement the current business. A strong partner network enables the business to deliver expertise beyond internal capability, placing the customer at the forefront of every solution. LTG’s ‘buy and build’ strategy places emphasis on broadening geographical reach (particularly in the United States), with a focus on developing presence in highly-regulated sectors (e.g. pharmaceutical, healthcare, energy, oil and gas and aviation).

The Board’s primary goal is to create shareholder value, but in a responsible way which serves all stakeholders.

History of LTG

In October 2013, Epic Group, a leading international e-learning business announced its intention to list on AIM by way of a reverse takeover of a cash shell called In-Deed plc. The Group’s inaugural acquisition, that of LINE Communications in April 2014, marked the first realisation of Learning Technologies Group’s ‘buy and build’ strategy to create a learning technologies business with revenues in excess of £50m within three years. LTG has since expanded considerably with multiple acquisitions and new brand launches enabling the Group to employ around 5,000 people in 30+ locations across Europe, the United States, Asia-Pacific and South America. In May 2018, LTG completed the acquisition of PeopleFluent, a leading US independent provider of cloud-based integrated recruiting, talent management, and compensation management solutions, for a cash consideration of $150 million. Over two-thirds of LTG’s revenue now comes from recurring software licences in its Software & Platforms division.

Board of Directors
