Returned to profit in H1 2025 with adjusted EBITDA of £0.8m, a near 300% improvement year-over-year, reflecting operational simplification and cost management.
Revenue declined 11% year-over-year to £10.4m, mainly due to the downsizing of a single strategic customer and reduction in low-margin network services.
Launched elumo, a new bookings and access platform for flexible workspaces, expected to drive growth over the next five years.
Announced CEO succession: James Lowery to replace Mark Furness as of May 1, 2025, as part of long-term succession planning.
Gross margin improved to 59%, up from 57% in the prior year, supported by data centre decommissioning and a better revenue mix.

Outlook and guidance

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
