AGM Statement
Newmark Security plc (AIM: NWT), a global leader in secure people-data solutions for human capital management (“HCM”) systems, is holding its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") today at 10am (UK).
At the AGM, Maurice Dwek, Newmark Chairman, will make the following statement:
HCM, our core business, traded in line with the Board’s expectations during the first half (“H1 2027”) with HCM’s unaudited revenue for H1 2027 up 5% to £8.3 million (H1 2026: £7.9 million). We are confident in the outlook for the rest of the year and, as in previous years, revenue is expected to be weighted to the second half.
After completing the sale of Safetell on 30 September 2026, we are now making good progress with the sale of Access Control, with management in conversations with a potential buyer. We believe there are significant cost savings to be made as we become a one business Group. The Board is therefore undertaking a thorough review of overheads, with a focus on central costs. An early decision from this review is that I will be reducing my total annual remuneration by circa 50%, with effect from 1 November 2026.
The Remuneration Committee is actively reviewing the Company’s long term incentive plans (“LTIPs”) to ensure performance targets are robust and payouts lead to a fair balance of performance, incentivisation and shareholder outcomes. Following the disposal of Safetell and the intended sale of Access Control, targets will be re-calibrated across our LTIPs.
The Board will update Newmark shareholders on the resolution of these matters at the time of the publication of the half year financial report in January 2027.
In addition to the thorough review of costs, the Board is also focused on reducing the Company’s net debt position. The sale of Access Control is expected to contribute to this objective. Thereafter, we will seek a fair balance between re-investment into the core business and returns to shareholders, including dividends when prudent.
