Edinburgh firm beats forecasts after snubbing US approach
The update could be seen as vindication of the company's decision to resist the approach from Bain, which it said 'fundamentally' undervalued Craneware and its prospects and focus on a strategy that it argued would 'create significant value for shareholders'. Craneware's software is used in about 2,000 hospitals across the US, giving it an approximately 40% share of that market. Its products are used by around a further 10,000 clinics and affiliate retail pharmacies. The company told the market today that it 'experienced positive trading throughout the fiscal year, delivering continued strong growth, and profitability ahead of consensus market expectations'. Annual recurring revenue increased by 7% to $184 million amid 'continued sales momentum' and the company stated that it continued to 'deliver high levels of operating cash conversion, which have been used to invest in the product portfolio, reduce debt, and interest costs'. Total bank debt was reduced to $27.7m from $35.4m, while cash reserves stood at $55.9m by year-end, up from $34.6m last year. Scots firms 'still on a knife-edge' despite fall in administrations Former Rangers chief bidding to 'reset' renowned Scottish retailer 'We believe in Glasgow': Developer gives city huge vote of confidence And the company underlined its confidence of achieving further growth, declaring that it 'anticipates that the ongoing drive within US healthcare to improve efficiency and deliver value in healthcare will continue to provide a positive market environment for Craneware's offerings'. Craneware added: 'The partnership with Microsoft is progressing well, raising the profile of The Craneware Group and its AI-powered Trisus offerings with hospital CIOs (chief information officers) across the US, providing the basis for increased market penetration in future periods. AI development in conjunction with Microsoft continues as planned.' Chief executive Keith Neilson said in a statement to the stock market: 'We are pleased to see our growth rates accelerating and profitability exceed expectations, with this year's performance supporting a move to sustainable, double-digit growth. 'Our extensive data sets and the powerful insights we can provide via our Trisus platform give our customers the means they need to improve their operational and financial performance. We have a unique capability to support our customers in their missions, and are seeing this translate into continued strong expansion sales within our customer base and a significant and growing base of recurring SaaS (software as a service) revenues. 'With continued strong cash generation, and a strategic position as a source of independent data and insights at the heart of the US healthcare market, we are excited by the opportunity ahead, for us and our customers, and look to the future with confidence.' Headquartered in Edinburgh, Craneware has about 200 employees in the UK made up mainly of product developers and engineers. The company employs roughly another 600 people in the US following the £283m acquisition of Florida-based Sentry in 2021. Shares in the company closed up 10.44%, or 235p, at 2,480p.

Plans to redevelop O2 ABC called in by Scottish Government
Plans to redevelop the fire-damaged O2 ABC site on Sauchiehall Street have been called in by the Scottish Government. Glasgow City Council has been informed that the decision has been taken due to the potential impact on the 'nationally important' A-listed Glasgow School of Art (GSoA). The city's planning committee approved urban regeneration development firm Vita Group's bid to replace the music venue with a public food hall and student flats last month. But the art school said the scheme would put the rebuild of the fire-hit Mackintosh building at 'significant risk' — a position that was supported by the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society. Historic Environment Scotland (HES) also objected to the proposal as it believed the planned nine-storey building would affect the setting of the A-listed 'Mack' building, obscuring important views to and from it. As a result of HES' objection, Scottish Ministers had to be notified of the ruling and had a 28-day period from being notified to decide whether to call-in the application and make their own determination. A letter was sent to Glasgow City Council yesterday (July 15) which confirmed the 'application has been referred to the Scottish Ministers and that the decision of Ministers will be final'. A reporter will be appointed by the government to assess the case and they will then submit a report, with recommendations, for its consideration. The ABC venue was damaged by a fire at the Mackintosh building in 2018 and, along with the former Jumpin' Jaks nightclub, has been vacant since. LDRS Vita Group is planning to redevelop the old O2 ABC site on Sauchiehall Street. There would be student beds and a publicly-accessible foodhall and courtyard. A dangerous buildings notice was issued by the council in July last year due to 'immediate threat', and parts of the ABC, including its facade, have been knocked down. OBARCS (ABC) Ltd, the owners of the site, previously accused GSoA of 'standing in the way of progress'. The company, and property investment firm Urban Pulse, said the school was attempting to block a 'viable, respectful development plan'. James Patterson, director of Urban Pulse, speaking on behalf of OBARCS, said there are no concrete plans or a timeline for the refurbishment of the Mackintosh building. After the plan was approved, Professor Penny Macbeth, director and principal of the GSoA, said the art school had been 'clear and provided evidence' that the project would 'fundamentally compromise' the 'Mack'. She added: 'We hope that Ministers, taking cognisance of the significant impact to the internationally important Mackintosh building and its rebuilding, will exercise their powers purposefully, acknowledging that the setting, character and function of the Mackintosh building is unacceptably compromised.' STV News Construction teams have began tearing down the O2 ABC. Stuart Robertson, director of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society, also urged the Scottish Government to 'step in and overturn this decision'. He said: 'This approval places the commitment to the rebuilding of the Mackintosh building at significant risk and will set a dangerous precedent for our built heritage.' Vita Group's 'House of Social' project includes 356 student beds as well as a publicly-accessible foodhall, which would become an events space at night. Planners at the council had recommended the scheme was approved. They reported the proposal would have a 'negative impact on the historic environment', but the current 'derelict' site is having a 'negative impact… on the viability and vitality of the city centre as a whole'. At the planning meeting on June 17, there were requests for a hearing, where those for and against the proposal could have made their case, but councillors voted 6-4 in favour of making a decision on the day. They then voted 8-2 in favour of granting planning permission.

John Swinney: Labour are ruling out all options to reduce energy bills
It comes after the UK Government shelved plans to introduce zonal pricing last week, instead deciding to retain a single national wholesale price. Octopus Energy has repeatedly said the model – which would have split the UK into price regions based on proximity to energy generation – would have given Scots some of the cheapest energy in Europe because of its abundance of renewables. But the Scottish Government has appeared reluctant to fight back against the plans being scrapped. READ MORE: Brian Leishman makes statement after suspension from Labour Asked why, the First Minister was adamant: 'The question isn't for me, it's for the Labour Government.' Speaking at a media appearance in Glasgow on Wednesday, he said: 'The Labour government promised to lower people's energy bills by 300 pounds and they're now up by about 150, and they've just turned their back on zonal pricing. 'So the question isn't for me, it's for the Labour government. What are they doing? They've got the power to reduce energy bills. What are they doing about it?' Pressed on whether this means he would support the UK Government bringing in zonal pricing, Swinney responded: 'What I'm seeing is that the Labour Government has made a promise to reduce energy bills and the question is for them to answer how they're going to do it now they're ruling out all the options. 'It's up to the UK Government to set out how they're going to lower people's fuel prices. When they've turned their back on opportunities to do so, it's for them to answer.' (Image: Colin Mearns) Labour energy minister Michael Shanks (above), speaking after the zonal pricing decision last week, admitted there could have been a bill discount for Scots but said it wasn't worth the "trade off". "If you look purely at one point in time, and look at an analysis of what would have happened to household bills, there would have been a discount in Scotland because we've got a significant amount of renewable energy at the moment,' he told the Daily Record. "But the other side of that equation is that it would hamper the investment that would be coming in to build that clean power infrastructure in the first place. "So you've got to have a trade-off here, where there is a theoretical benefit of bill discounts years down the line, but probably an increase in bills in the short term.'
