Year End Trading Update
MindGym (AIM: MIND), the global provider of human capital and business improvement solutions, provides a trading update for the year ended 31 March 2026 ("FY26").
Overview
MindGym is two years through its three-year transformation strategy to evolve the business from an episodic training provider to a strategic behavioural-change partner by making MindGym products easier to buy, sell and renew.
Financial Update
For FY26 the Group expects to report:
· Revenues of c. £29.7m, 8% lower than last year or a 6% reduction at constant currency (excluding the multi-year framework agreement which contributed £6.3m to revenues in FY25)
· Performance weighted to H2 as anticipated, with H2 revenue c.20% higher than H1
· Increase in renewable membership revenue to 17% of total revenue in H2 and 10% for the whole year vs 3% in the prior year
· Gross margin of 88% (FY25: 86%)
· A return to profitability: adjusted EBITDA profit of not less than £0.6m (FY25: £1.9m), compared to a first half adjusted EBITDA loss of £1m, reflecting benefit of cost reductions
· A net debt position of £0.4m (FY25: net cash of £0.6m), reduced from net debt of £1m at 30 September 2025. The Group is in the process of renewing its overdraft facility
Strategic and Operational highlights
MindGym continues to prioritise executing its transformation strategy and, in FY26, has focused on rebuilding its sales organisation, increasing commercial effectiveness, enhancing its digital lead generation and improving its digital delivery of membership and licence products. It also starts the new financial year with a cost base c. £5m lower than FY25 and an improving gross margin.
FY26 saw challenging market conditions, but despite this the Group has made significant progress against its objectives In the second half of the year, revenue grew in each quarter and was around 20% higher than in the first half. As part of this, corporate memberships have grown from 13 at the half year point to more than 60 at year end, contributing around 17% of total revenue in the second half of the year. Overall membership revenue is anticipated to be around £2.9m or 10% of the expected total for the year. Increasing membership revenues, which are recurring in nature, will over time improve the quality of earnings of the Company and reduce the impact of discreet buying decisions
Outlook
The Board is encouraged by the stronger trading performance in the second half of FY26 and, along with a number of significant contract opportunities slipping into Q1 FY27, this should provide positive momentum for the new financial year, notwithstanding the challenging global macroeconomic conditions. The cash position is also expected to improve and allow for continued investments to deliver growth. A further update on current trading will be provided at the time of the full-year results.
Full Year Results
MindGym expects to announce its FY26 full-year results in mid-June 2026.
Christoffer Ellehuus, CEO of MindGym commented:
"I'm pleased to see the progress we have made in the last six months and the signs that the business is turning around from the first half of the year. The continued investment in our membership and licencing structure and its delivery platforms is starting to show through in the results, and we look forward to continuing this progress in the new financial year."
