Director comments
Discussing company operations during HYFY21 Chairman of the Board, Peter Martin, said:
"Maintaining momentum during tough times is a real challenge for all companies. The team at EML has generated record results for the Group whilst revitalising EML's strategy and undertaking the integration of PFS. This has happened whilst dealing with the impacts of COVID-19 in key markets, plus Brexit in the UK, with most of our people working remotely. A tremendous effort…
In summary, EML is successfully trading through one of the worst periods in global economic and social memory. As COVID-19 impacts recede with the introduction of vaccines in 2021 and beyond, EML is ideally placed to take advantage of the explosive growth in the payments industry around the world. Our financial results should continue to reflect that opportunity."
