Revenue Dynamics and Cash Position in H1 FY26

Underlying run rate revenue from the Group’s Private Cloud offerings increased 15% to GBP 32.8m in H1 FY26 from GBP 28.5m in H1 FY25: reflecting the growing base of recurring revenue. However, H1 FY26 recognised revenue is expected at GBP 14.7m, down from GBP 15.8m in H1 FY25, primarily due to the timing of Proximity Cloud contract wins and the shift to a revenue share model within Exchange Cloud.

Gross cash was largely maintained at GBP 7.0m as compared to GBP 7.4m in June 2025, while unaudited net cash decreased to GBP 3.3m (30 June 2025: GBP 7.0m) following upfront investments funded by debt facilities for Proximity Cloud, Exchange Cloud, and Private Cloud deployments.

Contract Momentum and Product Developments

H1 FY26 saw the Group secure multiple major contracts, including two Exchange Cloud contracts and notable Proximity Cloud and Private Cloud wins, with a combined TCV of over GBP 7.0m. About half of this is expected to be recognised as revenue in H2 FY26. Revenue share Exchange Cloud contracts are progressing as planned, supporting future revenue growth and strengthening the recurring revenue profile.

The period also marked the launch of Market Edge Intelligence, an AI-powered solution creating a new high-margin revenue stream, with the proof-of-concept customer now progressing to contractual discussions.

The Board highlighted that the pipeline across all offerings remains at record strength, with major customer opportunities advancing through the sales funnel. This, coupled with contracted revenue, underpins Board confidence in delivering FY26 results in line with expectations.

Management Outlook Remains in Focus

Management highlights that the first half of FY26 delivered significant commercial progress across all services, with multiple large-scale contracts secured, reflecting increasing demand for our high-performance, secure cloud infrastructure in global financial markets. Entering the second half, revenue visibility is at record levels, reinforcing confidence in full-year results, with ongoing focus on executing the existing strong pipeline.”
