Performance of the Previous Financial Year

Smartworks has seen consistent growth in its topline over the past three years. Although the company is profitable at the EBITDA level, a loss has been recorded at the net level due to the implementation of the new accounting standard. ROU assets and fixed lease liabilities have been a major reason for this.
