Zenova FP, fire protection paint

A water-based, fire protection paint (also known as a 'thermofoaming' or 'intumescent' paint), which can be used on any surface and colour matched to any colour. When exposed to heat or flames, the paint expands and creates a solid foam-like crust which will not burn and insulates the surface it is painted on. This prevents surfaces from catching fire and stops fire spreading.  It has been tested by global fire industry experts and complies with UK building regulations and the latest UK and European fire safety standards.

 

Zenova IP, thermal insulation paint

A thermal insulation paint embeds the most modern insulating technology in a thermos-like ultra-thin layer.  It saves energy by increasing the thermal insulation level in commercial and residential buildings. Solar heat can increase the temperature within a building by 75% to 90%. Zenova IP has been independently tested and validated to deflect, absorb and dissipate up to 75% of this heat, thereby reducing the inside temperature by up to 45%.  Suitable for both exterior and interior, on any type of surface

 

Zenova IR, thermal insulation render

Zenova IR is a ready mixed insulation render that can be applied to internal and external walls in commercial and residential buildings to provide immediate insulation benefits and can be colour matched to any colour.

 

Zenova FX, fire extinguishers

A fire extinguisher like no other. It puts out class A, B, F and electrical fires fully tested against European EN3 as well as British standards. Available in 6 and 9 litre sizes.

 

Zenova FX500, aerosol fire extinguisher

The Zenova FX500 is a high-performance handheld fire extinguisher that is tested by independent experts and adheres to the highest industry standards.   Safe for use on any type of fire the Zenova FX500 reduces the risk of reignition. The Zenova FX 500 is quick, easy and safe to operated and has been tested to BS6165 standard.

 

Zenova CS, automatic ceiling sprinklers

The Zenova CS provides ceiling-mounted fire protection for new builds and can be easily retrofitted into any existing environment to address all types of fire risks

 

Zenova WB, wildfire barrier

A wildfire barrier fluid (applied via spray wands or aerial drops), which provides a virtual barrier where fire simply will not burn. Repeated tests on a variety of extremely dry wildfire fuels (grasses, hays, brush) demonstrates the incredible fire resistance Zenova WB provides, while remaining viable after application for30+ days in dry conditions.

TPXimpact Holdings PLC

14 May 2025

TPXimpact Holdings PLC

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

Trading Update and Contract Wins

 

TPXimpact Holdings PLC (AIM: TPX), a leading technology-enabled services company focused on people-powered digital transformation, is pleased to provide an update on its Q4 and full-year trading for the year that ended 31 March 2025 ("FY25") and to provide guidance for the full year ending 31 March 2026 ("FY26").

FY25 Trading Performance

The Group delivered a solid fourth quarter, with trading in line with revised expectations and full-year revenue anticipated to be consistent with previous guidance. We have continued to improve the quality and resilience of our operations, a reflection of the strategic decisions taken earlier in the year to streamline our structure and focus on delivering value more efficiently. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be at the top end of our 1-2% year-on-year margin growth range.

Disciplined working capital management and a strong finish to the year have also supported a reduction in net debt (excluding lease liabilities) to c.£8.5m, which is towards the lower end of the target range of 1.5x-2.0x for the year ending March 2025 and comfortably ahead of the Company's banking covenants.

Management expects to publish our preliminary, unaudited FY25 results in June 2025.

Contract Wins Strengthen Government Partnerships

The Company is proud to announce two recent significant contract wins that further cement its role as a trusted transformation partner to the UK Government:

●     A £7 million, two-year contract with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), supporting the UK's growth agenda.
 

●     A £9 million (with an opportunity to extend by 50%), 12-month contract with His Majesty's Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS), delivering digital transformation to enhance public safety and justice services.

These recently signed awards are a clear endorsement of TPXimpact's ability to deliver at scale in a complex and evolving public sector environment and they highlight the real-world impact of TPXimpact's mission-driven approach.

 

Outlook for FY26: Positive Start, Cautious Optimism

Market conditions were unpredictable in FY25, with revenues reducing by 8-10% due to the General Election, Government spending challenges, and departmental restructurings leading to the cancellation of some tenders and delays to others. Management is cautiously optimistic that the trading environment will continue to improve through FY26 and expects to deliver meaningful progress in profitability, driven by TPXimpact's continued focus on operational discipline and greater productivity.

Analyst consensus forecast on FY25 Adjusted EBITDA is £4.9m*. Management is focused on protecting and growing profits in FY26 and targets a FY26 Adjusted EBITDA range of £6-7m. This is a reflection of the work undertaken during FY25 to improve the efficiency of the business and revenue conversion through to Adjusted EBITDA.

Management also expects net debt to continue to reduce, targeting a year-end range of £7-8m, resulting in a reduced leverage of around 1.0 – 1.5x net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, well within the Company's banking covenants.

*Note: Company compiled range is based on known sell-side analyst estimates that were updated following the Company's announcement on 6 February 2025. Prior to this announcement, the respective consensus figures are £76.1m Revenue and £4.9m Adjusted EBITDA.

Bjorn Conway, Chief Executive Officer of TPXimpact Holdings PLC, commented:

"Despite a challenging trading environment, I have been impressed at how our teams have continued to deliver vital services to our clients in a purposeful way, whilst embracing changes to our business. TPXimpact completes FY25 as a more effective and more resilient business, as demonstrated by the delivery of increased Adjusted EBITDA margins despite reduced revenues.

 

"The mid-term prospects for TPXimpact remain strong – we have deep, long-lasting client relationships, a clear strategy and we provide in-demand digital capabilities. TPXimpact is well-positioned to support its clients and deliver increased value in the year ahead."

Oxford BioDynamics
("OBD" or the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

OBD's Oxford Lab accredited by UKAS to run EpiSwitch® Clinical Tests in the UK

·    OBD's facility in Oxford has been accredited by UKAS as clinical lab under the ISO 15189 standard

·    Clinical validation of EpiSwitch CiRT has been completed in the Oxford lab, further improving the test result turnaround time

·    All orders for both CiRT and PSE in the UK and Europe will be processed within the UK lab

Oxford, UK – 9 May 2025 –Oxford BioDynamics Plc (AIM: OBD),a precision clinical diagnostics company bringing specific and sensitive tests to the practice of medicine based on its EpiSwitch® 3D genomics platform,announces that its UK facility in Oxford has been accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) as a clinical laboratory under the ISO 15189 standard.

The Company is also pleased to confirm the successful completed validation of its EpiSwitch Checkpoint Inhibitor Response Test (CiRT) as a clinical test in this UK laboratory. CiRT is OBD's best-in-class stratification tool that empowers clinicians to identify which patients are likely to respond to a widely used class of immunotherapies:  immune checkpoint inhibitors. The CiRT blood test is already available in the UK, but up to now, testing was performed in OBD's US CLIA-certified facility. 

Thomas Guiel, Chief Operating Officer of OBD, said:

"The immediate benefit for cancer patients seeking a CiRT test in the UK will be the significant reduction in the elapsed time from receipt of an order to result, which will now be 3-5 days. UKAS accreditation of our clinical lab in the UK under ISO15189 is a significant milestone that underscores our dedication to delivering high-quality and timely diagnostic testing to support healthcare providers and patients in the UK and Europe, meeting the stringent ISO requirements for patient testing and data security."

The successful validation of CiRT in the UK is an important advance for OBD's British partners and customers, including its strategic partner, Bupa UK1.

This milestone completes OBD's strategy to implement clinical testing operations at its UK base, commissioned in April 2024.
