Spanish telecom firm Lleida.net said on Monday its 2020 results were the best in its 25-year history, after COVID-19 lockdowns boosted its digital signature business.
The Madrid-listed small cap firm said preliminary sales in its software-as-a-service line more than doubled in the fourth quarter, and rose 59% in the full year, as widespread remote working since the beginning of the pandemic boosted demand for its digital signature services.

"Despite the catastrophic situation caused by COVID-19, the company's performance was the best in its history," CEO and founder Sisco Sapena said in a statement. "2020 represented a before and after for the digital signature industry and also for Lleida.net."
Lleida.net's market capitalization grew five-fold in 2020, starting from a modest 16 million euros ($19.42 million) in January and finishing the year close to 100 million euros ($121.40 million), according to Refinitiv Eikon data.
The company said its full-year sales rose 20% to 16.4 million euros compared to the same period in 2019. Profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was up 17% to 2.6 million euros.
