Interim unaudited results

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Cirata PLC reported interim unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, with revenue of $1.0 million, a significant decrease from $4.8 million in the prior year's comparable period, and total bookings of $0.5 million, down from $3.8 million. The company experienced an adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.3 million, an increase from the $4.6 million loss in H1 FY25, and a total comprehensive loss of $4.8 million. Despite achieving cash flow breakeven in Q1 FY26, the company now anticipates that certain anticipated deals may close over a longer timeframe, potentially delaying its ambition for overall FY26 cash flow breakeven. Cirata ended the period with $2.6 million in cash. Subsequent to the period, the company completed an oversubscribed fundraise of approximately $7.2 million.

  • Total Bookings[2] of $0.5m (H1 FY25: $3.8m)
    • Annual Contract Value (“ACV”)[3]: Closing ACV of $5.3m at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: $4.8m), up $0.5m in H1FY26, with no contract expirations
  • Adjusted EBITDA[4] loss of $5.3m (H1 FY25: $4.6m, loss)
  • Total comprehensive loss for the period of $4.8m (H1 FY25: $4.6m, loss)
  • Billings of $2.8m (Q1: $2.3m, Q2: $0.5m)

  • Cash of $2.6m[6] (30 June 2025 $6.1m) and short-term trade receivables of $0.2m at 30 June 2026 (cash plus short-term trade receivables of $2.8m)
  • Cash overheads of $6.3m in H1FY26, consistent with the FY26 annualized expected range of $12-13m

 

Trading Summary

  • Cash positive start to FY26: Q1FY26 delivered the Company's first-ever reported positive cash flow quarter
  • Strengthening pipeline: pipeline grew materially in value during H1 FY26 with an improving mix to new logos.
  • Cirata Symphony momentum: first paying customer secured (a leading UK retailer, running Iceberg-to-Iceberg replication), a proof of concept commenced with a new US customer, and a strategic expansion of the OEM agreement with IBM (Cirata Symphony for IBM Big Replicate)
  • Go-to-market: sales team reached its targeted complement following the final hires under CRO Dominic Arcari by June 2026

FY26 Outlook statement - Update

Following the delivery of material improvements to Cirata’s cost base and increased traction with existing customers, the goal of delivering cash flow breakeven for Q1FY26 was achieved. The Company also continues to expect to deliver on its previously guided annualised cost base of $12-13m, maintaining the cost discipline brought as part of the transformation programme.

As we advance through FY26, the Company’s new sales team is continuing to mature and is growing the pipeline of opportunities, mainly from the USA, UK and ANZ geographies, which is materially larger in size and quality than at the start of the year. The full sales potential deliverable by this new team, however, will take a number of months to reach maturity, consistent with the ramp time for enterprise salespeople. The Company’s enterprise sales cycle is inherently lumpy. This means accurately forecasting the conversion pathway of this pipeline – comprised of Global 2000 accounts where enterprise-level sales are complex and non-linear in nature – remains challenging. In addition, a proportion of this delay relates to one channel partner, where a change in their business outlook has reduced visibility on the timing of a small number of key contracts.

At this point in the financial year, the Company now believes that – whilst engagement with customers and channel partners around key opportunities and the Cirata Symphony product offering remains strong – certain anticipated deals may close over a longer timeframe than initially expected. As a result, whilst commercial momentum and pipeline build will continue to grow through H2, this may delay the Company’s ambition to be cash flow breakeven, which was previously projected for FY26 overall and was subject to bookings timings and working capital movements.

Stephen Kelly, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“In H1FY26, the Company made good progress with finishing the rebuild of the Go-To-Market (GTM) team. It is early days for the new sales team selling complex enterprise solutions, where the expected productivity ramp is at least 6 months to win complicated mission critical customer selections. However, there were some important milestones in H1 FY26. In Q1 we delivered the first positive cash flow quarter in the Company's history, and in Q2 we saw evidence of customer traction with Cirata Symphony POCs in the USA and UK. We ended the half with a materially larger and higher-quality pipeline than at the start of the year. The pipeline continues to build, and we are seeing the evidence of the efforts of the new GTM team.

Since the period end, we have also completed an oversubscribed fundraise that gives us a strong platform to scale with discipline, and our go-to-market team is now resourced following Dominic Arcari's final sales hire in Summer 2026.

During Q3 we have seen a change to the timing of closure for certain key contracts, and although these opportunities remain in the pipeline the timing of cash collection has resulted in an update to the FY26 outlook statement. The timing extension of these key contracts is partly impacted by the change in business outlook of a key partner. The product foundations for our future growth-Cirata Symphony- is moving from proof-of-concept to deployment, with a leading UK retailer and a proof of concept underway with a US bank. We also see continued progress with our expanded OEM partnership with IBM with the availability of Cirata Symphony for IBM Big Replicate. Our focus for the remainder of FY26 is strong sales & marketing execution: seeing the productivity ramp of the stronger go-to-market team, facing our expanded pipeline, to support new customer acquisition.”

 

Business Summary

Operational KPIs: As introduced at the start of FY26, the Company tracks ACV, Billings and RCB as its primary KPIs. Closing ACV grew from $4.8m at 31 December 2025 to $5.3m on 30 June 2026, with $0.5m of net new ACV added in H1FY26 and no contract expirations. H1FY26 Billings were $2.8m, and RCB at 30 June 2026 was $5.7m, of which $3.3m is expected to be billed within the next 12 months.

Cirata Symphony: commercial traction continued to build through H1FY26. Following beta trials with a large US bank and a UK retailer in Q2, the UK retailer became Cirata Symphony's first customer, running Iceberg-to-Iceberg replication, and a proof of concept commenced with a prospective new US customer. The Company's strategic OEM relationship with IBM was also expanded, with Cirata Symphony now deliverable under the revised agreement as Cirata Symphony for IBM Big Replicate.

Pipeline and Go-to-Market: The Company's pipeline grew materially in the first half of 2026. This reflects a focussed sales strategy targeting Forbes Global 2000 accounts, spanning both new logo engagement and expansion with existing accounts. The sales organisation has been substantially built out in line with the CRO’s plans for the first half of 2026.

Cash and Overheads

Cirata generated $0.7m of positive cash flow in Q1FY26, its first positive cash flow quarter. In Q2FY26, the Company's operational cash position reduced by $2.1m, reflecting the timing of billings and collections, resulting in a year-to-date reduction in the cash position for H1FY26 of $1.4m. As at 30 June 2026, the unaudited cash balance was $2.6m and short-term trade receivables were $0.2m, giving a cash plus short-term trade receivables balance of $2.8m; this excludes the $7.2m gross proceeds of the fundraise, which were approved at a Shareholder General Meeting on 24 July 2026.

Cash overheads for H1FY26 were $6.3m (Q1: $3.1m; Q2: $3.2m), consistent with the Company's FY26 annualized expected range of $12-13m and representing a reduction of over 70% from the Company’s historical peak.

Subsequent Events

On 24 July 2026, following shareholder approval at a General Meeting held that day, the Company completed an oversubscribed Placing and Subscription together with a Retail Offer, raising gross proceeds of £5.4m (c.$7.2m). As the transaction completed after the period end and was conditional on that shareholder approval, the proceeds are not reflected in the H1 FY26 cash position and are treated as a post-period-end event. The proceeds strengthen the balance sheet to support new logo acquisition, pipeline conversion and product scale as the Company enters H2 FY26.

Financial Review

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $5.3m (H1 FY25: $4.6m[7]). The increase in the loss position YoY reflects lower revenue in H1 FY26 which has been partially offset by lower operating expenses as a result of the ongoing focus on cost optimisation.

 

Revenue

Revenue was $1.0m (H1 FY25: $4.8m[8]). Revenue performance was driven by both bookings in the period and the movement in deferred revenue balance. Of the $1.0m of revenue for the Period, $0.5m came from Bookings in the period and $0.5m from deferred revenue movement.

 

Operating costs 

Cash overheads decreased in the period to $6.3m in H1FY26 (H1FY25: $8.5m[9]) primarily reflecting the impact of the restructuring undertaken by the business in FY25 and the ongoing focus on cost optimisation. 

 

Balance sheet and cash flow

Trade and other receivables at 30 June 2026 were $2.0m (31 December 2025: $4.7m). This includes $0.2m of short-term trade receivables (31 December 2025: $2.3m). 

 

Deferred revenue from sales booked during H1 FY26 and in previous years, and not yet recognised as revenue, is $0.1m at 30 June 2026 (H1 FY25: $2m[10]). Deferred revenue represents future revenue from new and renewed contracts.

Accrued income from sales booked during H1 FY26 and in previous years, and where income has been recognised as revenue, but payment instalments are due in future periods from customers, is $3.9m at 30 June 2026 (H1 FY25: $1.1m).

Net consumption of cash was $1.4m (H1 FY25: $3.6m), resulting in a closing cash balance of $2.6m as at 30 June 2026. The lower cash burn was driven by lower costs along with higher customer receipts.

The successful fundraise, which completed after the period end and which is not reflected in the period end closing cash balance, has further strengthened the balance sheet in addition to enabling Cirata to focus on pipeline conversion and investment in Cirata Symphony.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six months ended 30 June 2026

  1. Reporting entity

Cirata plc (the “Company”) is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Jersey. The Company’s ordinary shares are traded on AIM. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“Interim financial statements”) as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2026 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The Group is primarily involved in the development and provision of global collaboration software.

  1. Basis of preparation

a Basis of accounting

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 (“last annual financial statements”). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. The accounting policies set out in the Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 have been applied in the preparation of the interim financial statements.

These interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company’s board of directors on 15 September 2026.

b Going concern

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

To assess whether it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis the Directors have prepared a detailed budget and forecast of the Group’s expected performance over a period covering at least the next twelve months from the date of the approval of these unaudited interim financial statements. The Directors recognise that there is a material uncertainty related to conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it might be unable to realise assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. 

In the six months ended 30 June 2026, the Group incurred an operating loss of $4.9m (H1 FY25: $5.0m loss) and experienced net cash outflows of $1.4m (H1 FY25: $3.7m). Revenue for H1 FY26, including continuing and discontinuing operations, was $1.0m (H1 FY25: $4.8m).

As at 30 June 2026 the Group had net assets of $5.7m (31 December 2025: $10.2m), including cash of $2.6m (31 December 2025: $4.0m). As at 30 June 2026 the Group had no debt facilities (2025: none) 

In performing its going concern assessment, the Directors are required to consider a minimum period of twelve months from the date of approving the interim financial statements. Scenario modelling has been undertaken over the period to 30 September 2027. The assessment involved the preparation of a ‘Base’ case and a ‘Severe but Plausible Downside’ case.

The Base case scenario included assumptions for quarterly sales targets, anticipated changes to the Group’s current contracting model, timeframes for new sales personnel to convert sales pipelines, and cost assumptions reflecting an overhead annualised cost base of c.$12m-$13m in FY26 and c.$13-14m in FY27. The scenario modelling also incorporates the proceeds received through the fundraise completed in July 2026. Under the Base case the Group is forecasting the ability to meet all financial obligations as and when they fall due during the period forecast.

The Downside case sensitised the Base case and modelled lower sales bookings during the period without any further cost reduction, which would be taken in such a scenario. Under the Downside case the Group is forecasting a reduction in cash resources to effectively nil by the end of August 2027. The Downside scenario does not consider any readily available mitigating actions that Management could take. By their very nature forecasts and projections are inherently uncertain. The biggest driver of the uncertainty continues to be around the ability of the business to successfully close sales in a predictable and sustainable way. Consequently, the loss-making position of the Group and the low forecast cash balance sheet position heightens the uncertainty such that circumstances could arise under which the downside scenario may occur that would render the preparation of accounts based on the assumption of a going concern inappropriate.

Accepting the material uncertainty, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these Interim financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements that would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern.

 

  1. Basis of preparation (continued)

c Functional and presentational currency

The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars, as the revenue for the Group is predominately derived in this currency. Billings to the Group’s customers during the period by Cirata, Inc. were all in US dollars with certain costs being incurred by Cirata Ltd in sterling and Cirata, Pty Ltd in Australian dollars.  All financial information has been rounded to the nearest thousand US dollars unless otherwise stated.

d Alternative performance measures

The Group uses a number of alternative performance measures (“APMs”) which are non-IFRS measures to monitor the performance of its operations. The Group believes these APMs provide useful information to help investors and other stakeholders evaluate the performance of the business and are measures commonly used by certain investors for evaluating the performance of the Group. In particular, the Group uses APMs which reflect the underlying performance on the basis that this provides a more relevant focus on the core business performance of the Group and aligns with our KPIs. Adjusted results exclude certain items because if included, these items could distort the understanding of our performance for the period and the comparability between periods. The Group has been using the following APMs on a consistent basis and they are defined and reconciled as follows:

-           Cash overheads: Operating expenses adjusted for: depreciation, amortisation, equitysettled share-based payment and other one-off non-recurring items disclosed separately. See Note 4 for a reconciliation.

-           Adjusted EBITDA: Operating loss adjusted for: impairment loss, depreciation, amortisation, equitysettled share-based payment, other income and other one-off non-recurring items disclosed separately. See Note 4 for a reconciliation.

e Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing these Interim financial statements, Management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The significant judgements made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

 

  1. Revenue and segmental analysis

The net foreign exchange gain (2025: loss, H1 FY25: loss) arose on sterling-denominated intercompany balances in a US dollar denominated subsidiary. These balances were retranslated at the closing exchange rate at 30 June 2026, which was 1.32, a 2% depreciation of sterling compared to the rate of 1.35 at 31 December 2025.  The gain on intercompany balances in the Condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss is offset by an equivalent exchange loss (2025: gain, H1 2025: gain) on the retranslation of the intercompany balances, which is included in the retranslation of net assets of foreign operations, included in the other comprehensive income.
