Additional Framework Wins and Direct Award

 

Kinovo Plc (AIM: KINO), the specialist property services group that delivers compliance and sustainability solutions, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded additional framework wins and a direct award.

 

Kinovo has received an award notice under Eastern Procurement Limited's Asset Improvement and Sustainability Framework with a maximum estimated aggregate value of £156 million across a total of five contractors over a term of 4 years in which awards can be granted and agreed. The framework covers a broad range of the Company's services including voids, kitchen and bathroom installations, disabled adaptation works, electrical testing, rewiring, upgrades and repairs, as well as insulation and decarbonisation works.

 

The Company has also been awarded a place on 3 lots of the Hyde Group's Alternative Heating Servicing and Maintenance Services and Metering and Billing Services Framework. Two of the lots relate to gas servicing, maintenance and renewal services to both domestic and commercial properties for the north and south regions within the framework, and the third lot relates to heating servicing, maintenance and renewal services to electrically heated properties across both regions. This framework has a maximum estimated aggregate value of £28 million over 4 years across a total of five contractors, and the framework can also be accessed by other public bodies.

 

As previously referenced, due to the nature of frameworks, Kinovo does not attribute revenue from its framework placings within its three year visible revenue forecasts.

 

In addition to the above, Kinovo has received a direct award with a new client, Broadland District Council ("Broadland"), from the Government's Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund announced in March 2023, which allows local authorities and social housing providers to apply for government funding to install energy efficiency upgrades. Kinovo has been contracted by Broadland to remove its existing systems and supply and install Air Source Heat Pumps, High Heat Retention Storage Heaters, Solar PV and battery storage for approximately 70 properties. The total anticipated value of the works is £1 million over 2 years. All works will be completed in accordance with Broadland's requirements and relevant retrofit regulation such as PAS2030:2019 and PAS2035:2019.

 

As a result of the continued progress of the Company's Business Development, Kinovo has invested in another Bid Manager and an Estimator to provide the team with additional resources to build on this positive momentum.

 

David Bullen, Chief Executive Officer of Kinovo plc, commented:

"We are delighted to report these direct award and framework wins that the team has worked hard to generate. The frameworks provide a considerable opportunity for Kinovo to broaden our client base and build on our strong reputation across the South East of England, covering a broad spectrum of works, particularly within our Renewables pillar, and offer the potential for significant revenue generation.

 

This strong momentum has facilitated additional investment in our business development team, which will further increase the quality and quantity of our bids.We look forward to seeking to maintain this momentum of new contract wins and renewals across FY24 in line with our growth strategy."

Smarttech247 Group PLC

("Smarttech247", the "Group" or the "Company")

Strategic Partnership Agreement and Contract Win

 

Smarttech247 announces a strategic partnership with Abnormal Security to bring AI-powered email security to Europe, whichhas already resulted in a contract win with a global aviation organisation.

 

Smarttech247, a multi-award-winning provider of AI-enhanced cybersecurity services providing automated managed detection and response for a portfolio of international clients, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership agreement with  Abnormal Security, a leading behavioural AI-based email security platform.

 

Smarttech247 and Abnormal Security will work closely together, combining cloud-based behavioural AI to stop the full spectrum of modern email attacks, including business email compromise, vendor and invoice fraud, advanced credential phishing and more. The first notable win as a result of this partnership is a multi-year contract worth nearly €400k, over two years, with a global organisation within the aviation industry sector.

 

Unlike traditional secure email gateways, Abnormal Security takes a different approach to stopping email attacks. The cloud-native API architecture ingests thousands of signals across multiple platforms to build a baseline of the known-good behaviour of every employee and vendor in an organisation based on communication patterns, sign-in events and thousands of other attributes. It then applies advanced AI models including natural language processing ("NLP") and behavioural analytics to detect abnormalities in email behaviour that indicate a potential threat and prevent attacks from reaching end users.

 

Abnormal Security will be integrated intoSmarttech247's comprehensive managed detection and response ("MDR") service, VisionX, to provide a unified and proactive security solution. The platform combines real-time threat monitoring, rapid incident response and advanced analytics to protect clients from cyber threats.

 

Raluca Saceanu, Chief Executive Officer of Smarttech247, commented:

 

"Our partnership with Abnormal Security underscores our commitment to delivering more advanced cybersecurity solutions to both existing and new customers. We are also pleased to announce our first contract win, as a result of this partnership, with a significant global company in the aviation sector.

 

"We are looking forward to working closely together to help prevent cyberattacks for our customers by enhancing cloud email protection."

 

Stevie Dennis, Channel Manager of EMEA Alliances at Abnormal Security, commented:

 

"The team at Smarttech247 has a strong understanding of what their customers need and are able to navigate them through the thousands of security offerings in the market to find the right solution.

 

"Working with Smarttech247 over the past few months has been a great experience. Their long-standing and trusted relationships with their clients means that we've been able to turn technical champions into business advocates within four weeks of the first meeting. We are confident that this will be a very successful partnership and look forward to continuing to grow it throughout Europe."

Northcoders Group PLC

25 July 2023

 

For immediate release

25 July 2023

 

 

Northcoders Group PLC

('Northcoders', the 'Group' or the 'Company')

 

Government contract win

H1-2023 Trading Update

 

Northcoders (AIM:CODE), the independent provider of training programmes for software coding, is pleased to announce that the Group has been successful in securing further funding from the Department for Education Skills Bootcamps Wave 4 bid. In addition, the Group provides a trading update for the six months to 30 June 2023 ('H1-2023' or the 'Period').

 

Contract win

 

The Group is pleased to announce that it has successfully secured further funding from the Department for Education Skills Bootcamps Wave 4 bid. This new round of funding provides Northcoders with a further £4.5 million to train individuals on the Northcoders market-leading bootcamp and provides the Company with strong revenue visibility for H2-2023 and FY-2024. In addition, it also provides the Group with a 12.5% increase in funding per student which is expected to increase the gross profit margins of the Group's training products and assist in covering recent inflation-linked cost increases.

 

Trading update

 

H1-2023 Highlights:

 

·   Increase in H1-2023 revenue of over 50% in comparison with H1-2022

·   Good FY-2023 revenue visibility with further confirmation of Skills Bootcamp funding and multiple corporate contracts in place

·   Strong balance sheet position with £2.9 million of cash and net cash of £2.0 million as at 24 July 2023

·   Significant investment into sales, marketing and partnership functions to ensure success against current economic backdrop

·   Tech Returners, which was acquired in February 2023, has now been fully integrated into the Business Services division and is performing well.

 

The Group is trading comfortably in line with management expectations. Revenue for the period increased by 52% to £3.5 million (H1-2022: £2.3 million).  As at 30 June 2023, revenue visibility for FY-2023 was £6.75 million, being 70% of the market expectations for the full year. As forecasted before the start of the current financial year, it remains the Board's expectation that FY-2023 revenues will be second half weighted.  Substantial business development progress has been made by Northcoders towards the visibility of H2-2023's revenue forecast.

 

In H1-2023 Northcoders' Business Solutions division secured a number of significant new contracts with large corporate clients including Deutsche Bank and BAE Systems. The Group also has confirmation of a repeat programme from KPMG to begin during Q4-2023 and a healthy business development pipeline which the Board is confident will further boost full-year revenue visibility during the coming months. In addition, to strengthening corporate business, the Business Solutions division has also secured its first public sector consultancy contract with a major government department.

 

The Training Bootcamps division grew its graduate hiring network by a further 9% by engaging with 76 new organisations for the first time this year. Northcoders now has a network of over 450 partner companies to sustain its graduate hiring from training bootcamps. The Group has also seen increased demand from individuals wanting to enrol on its core coding bootcamps and Returner Programmes. Application numbers in the six months to June 2023 stood at 3,494, which compares favourably with the 3,662 applications in the 12 months to December 2022.

 

Despite the positive momentum made by the Group in H1-2023, the current financial year does present a number of market challenges that demand the Board's full attention. The Group acknowledges the prevailing headwinds encountered by the technology market, including budget constraints, workforce reductions and recruitment freezes that is affecting many of the Group's partner companies, which potentially might affect the vacancies available to Northcoders Training Bootcamp graduates. The Board remains resolute in its approach and continues to inject significant investment into the Group's corporate sales and partnerships teams across all Northcoders' divisions. This proactive measure signifies the Group's total commitment to ensuring exceptional outcomes for the individuals engaged in its Training Bootcamps and positions the Group favourably for continued growth within its consultancy division, Business Services.

 

Outside of business development activity, the Group is making significant progress with its investment into its Technology platform, Ncore, which remains on track for roll-out across all its Training Bootcamps in early 2024.  Ncore is expected to grow our capacity, increase gross profit margins in the Group's Training Bootcamps division and bring multiple new ways of taking its Training Bootcamp products to market, such as the part-time/distance learning delivery of its courses.

 

The development of new training courses is going according to plan. Northcoders' Cloud Engineering training course has been developed and launched and the Group is pleased to see an increase in enrolment and employer interest. Northcoders looks forward to providing more updates about training course development and other strategic initiatives in the second half of the year.

Northcoders' cash flow continues to benefit from the Department for Education-funded scholarships being made available to those who previously utilised the Group's finance provider, which had absorbed working capital. The Group feels comfortable with current and forecasted cash positions and has the cash available to continue with planned investments. Focus will be applied to cashflow forecasting to ensure that the Group remains this way during uncertain economic times.   The Group has a strong cash position with £2.9 million of cash and £2.0 million of net cash as at 24 July 2023.

Chris Hill, CEO of Northcoders, said:"In spite of challenging market conditions, the Board is confident of achieving further growth for the full year.  During the period Northcoders won a number of contracts with large corporates as well as securing further funding from the Department for Education, providing the Group with good forward visibility of revenues.   The Company is financially strong and we are well placed to further invest in the business for growth."

The Directors accept full responsibility accordingly, collectively and individually, for the information contained in this announcement including the Company's compliance with the AQSE Rules.

The AQSE Growth Market, which is operated by the Aquis Exchange PLC (Aquis Stock Exchange or AQSE), a recognised investment exchange under Part XVIII FSMA, is a market designed primarily for emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached than to larger or more established companies.

It is not classified as a regulated market under Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments and AQSE Growth Market securities are not admitted to the official list of the UK Listing Authority. Investment in an unlisted company is speculative and tends to involve a higher degree of risk than an investment in a listed company. The value of investments can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount originally invested. An investment should, therefore, only be considered by those persons who are prepared to sustain a loss on their investment. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks of investing in AQSE Growth Market securities and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser authorised under FSMA who specialises in advising on the acquisition of shares and other securities.

Ora is required by the Aquis Stock Exchange to appoint an Aquis Exchange Corporate Adviser (AQSE Corporate Adviser) to apply on its behalf for admission to the Access segment of the AQSE Growth Market and must always retain an AQSE Corporate Adviser.

Kanabo Group PLC

17 July 2023

 

Kanabo Group Plc

("Kanabo", the "Group" or the "Company")

 

Commercial Success for Kanabo Agritec with Contract Award in Spain

 

Kanabo Group plc (LSE: KNB), a health-tech company focused on patient care with its innovative digital healthcare platform and medical cannabis treatment portfolio, announces that its 40% owned subsidiary, Kanabo Agritec Ltd. ("Agritec"), has signed a contract with Taima Growth S.L. ("Taima"). The contract is for the development of an indoor medical cannabis cultivation and processing facility in Madrid, Spain ("the Agreement").

 

Kanabo Agritec provides consulting services around facility planning, design and implementation for the production of medical cannabis. Agritec's expertise includes choosing genetics, the automation of irrigation and fertigation, humidity control systems and optimising harvest through bespoke solutions.

 

Taima was incorporated as a SPV (special purpose vehicle) in 2019 and is seeking to establish a network of facilities for the cultivation and distribution of medical-grade cannabis in Spain. Notably, partners from Aurea Capital Partners, a Spanish investment firm focusing on renewable energy and sustainable agriculture, are invested in the project. Aurea Capital Partners has a proven track record in sustainable investment, recently selling its first investment in Spain to Goldman Sachs. Agritec currently holds 5% of the issued share capital of Taima, and its shareholding will be incrementally increased by an additional 15% based on the achievement of specific milestones.

 

Avihu Tamir, Chief Executive Officer of Kanabo, commented:

 

"Securing this agreement marks a pivotal step in Kanabo's roadmap. The high-quality supply chain that Agritec and Taima's partnership offers not only ensures access to premium materials but also promises to generate profits and enhance shareholder value for The Group. We're excited about this synergy and the immense potential it holds.

 

"We look forward to supporting Agritec and their work with Taima."

 

The Project

 

The project will run in two stages, with Phase 1 expected to begin in the next few months and last 12 months. Following completion of Phase 1, the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices ("AEMPS") will inspect the facility and will grant a licence for production and manufacturing of Cannabis and its products, subject to the successful passing of the inspection.

 

Upon receipt of the licence, Agritec is contracted to implement Phase 2 of the project, which is expected to last between 8 and 12 months. The facility will be fully operational at the conclusion of Phase 2 and will be capable of producing up to 3,000 kgs of cannabis flowers annually.

 

Regardingrevenue generated from the Agreement, while specific numbers are pending finalisation of timelines, Agritec anticipates a significant financial yield from this pivotal project. Concrete figures are expected to be announced shortly but we are pleased to confirm that this contract represents a substantial opportunity for enhanced revenue generation. Further information on projected revenue will be shared in due course.

 

The Agreement marks an important growth stage for the Group's subsidiary and will contribute to Kanabo's long term strategy to diversify and secure a reliable supply chain. The facility will also adopt Kanabo's high-quality manufacturing standards, ultimately facilitating patient access to the highest-quality  products.
