          Trading Update

Kainos Group plc, a leading provider of Digital Services and Platforms, today issues a trading update for the period from 1 April 2017 to 31 August 2017. The Company expects results for the full year ending 31 March 2018 to be in line with current market expectations.

In the Digital Services division, the Group has delivered a solid performance and has a very strong pipeline in both Digital Transformation and Workday Implementation. In Workday Implementation, the Group is pleased with an increasing pipeline of business in continental Europe.

In Digital Platforms, Worksmart has seen very strong growth, which has been partially offset by continued investment in the Evolve Integrated Care Platform.

The Group continues to benefit from a robust balance sheet and good cash generation.

The announcement of Kainos' results for the six months ended 30 September 2017 will be made on Monday 27 November 2017.
