Outlook underpinned by new product launches
The Group remains on track with the execution of its strategic priorities. Significant products launched towards the end of H1 2026 are expected to contribute materially to revenue in the second half of the year, while providing further opportunities for growth into FY27.
Demand for the Group's existing Power Probe branded products remains robust, alongside encouraging commercial progress in new territories and within the automotive manufacturer dealership channel. The Group also continues to benefit from the improved margin profile resulting from its product and customer mix strategy and pricing initiatives implemented during 2026.
Longer term, the Board continues to see significant opportunities to deliver multi-year, sustainable revenue growth and margin expansion through continued product innovation, international expansion and the development of manufacturing capability at the Group's Charlotte, N.C. facility.
Chema Garcia, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We continued to make good strategic progress during the first half and the significant improvement in gross margin demonstrates the benefits of our focus on Power Probe branded products, the transition towards higher-quality private brands business and the pricing initiatives implemented during the year.
"We enter the second half with a number of significant new products now launched, encouraging momentum in new territories and continued progress within the automotive manufacturer dealership channel. Alongside this, we are advancing our investment in US manufacturing capability in Charlotte and the systems and infrastructure needed to support the Group's longer-term growth.
"We remain confident in our strategy and believe the investments and initiatives underway provide a strong platform for growth through the second half of 2026, into FY27 and beyond."

INTERIM REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY 2026 TO 30 JUNE 2026
INTERIM REVIEW
Introduction
The Group continued to make strong progress against its strategic objectives during the first half of 2026. Revenue was $17.7 million (H1 2025: $21.2 million), reflecting the timing of new product launches, with FY26 revenue weighted towards the second half of the year, consistent with previous guidance.

Gross margin increased significantly to 50.4% (H1 2025: 40.8%), reflecting the Group's increased focus on Power Probe branded products, the transition towards higher-margin private brands business and the successful implementation of pricing initiatives during 2026, which have been well absorbed by the market.

Private brands revenue reduced to $1.5 million (H1 2025: $3.3 million), reflecting the deliberate execution of the Group's strategy to move away from lower-margin legacy private brands accounts. In parallel, the Group is developing new, more specialised products for the automotive aftermarket, offering stronger strategic alignment and greater long-term growth potential. While this transition is expected to reduce overall private brands revenue, it is also expected to improve the quality and profitability of this part of the business.
Together with pricing initiatives implemented during 2026, this shift in revenue mix contributed to the 9.6 percentage point increase in Group gross margin to 50.4%.

Balance sheet and cash flow
The Group maintained a strong balance sheet as at 30 June 2026, with cash and cash equivalents of $13.0 million (31 December 2025: $15.3 million) and minimal borrowings. Net cash generated from operating activities was $0.1 million, reflecting movements in working capital during the period, including a $2.3 million reduction in trade and other payables, partly offset by a reduction in inventory. The Group invested $0.4 million in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment during the period and paid dividends of $1.6 million. Total shareholders' equity increased to $20.7 million (31 December 2025: $20.2 million).
Operational and strategic progress
The Group has continued to make strong progress in its investment in manufacturing capability at its Charlotte, N.C. facility. Architectural and engineering partners have been engaged, facility design has progressed and infrastructure works are underway to support future manufacturing operations. A new US manufacturing entity has also been established and funded using IPO proceeds to support the development of the Charlotte operation.
Establishing manufacturing capability in Charlotte is expected to provide greater operational flexibility, strengthen the Group's product innovation pipeline and expand production capacity closer to its largest end market, providing opportunities for both revenue growth and margin expansion over time.
The Group also continues to make encouraging progress in new territories, in particular the UK and Europe. Rest of World revenue increased by 19.2% to $1.3 million during the period. Participation at key customer and industry trade shows has generated new business opportunities, with sales performance and customer engagement at these events showing encouraging year-on-year progress.
Momentum also continues within the automotive manufacturer dealership channel and the Group has made further progress in securing approved products within manufacturer dealership programmes. The Board continues to view this channel as an attractive longer-term opportunity as the Group broadens the routes through which its products reach professional technicians.
The Group remains committed to investing in its systems and operational infrastructure. The implementation of SAP is progressing, with go-live expected at the beginning of Q4 2026, providing an enhanced platform to support the Group as it grows in scale and complexity.
Outlook
The Group remains on track and continues to execute against its strategic priorities. Significant new product launches completed towards the end of H1 2026 are expected to make a meaningful contribution during the second half of the year and support further growth into FY27.
The Group continues to see robust demand for its existing Power Probe branded products. Encouraging progress in the UK and Europe and the automotive manufacturer dealership channel provides additional avenues for growth, while the Group's product and customer mix strategy and 2026 pricing initiatives are supporting an improved margin profile.
Looking beyond FY26, the Board continues to see significant, multi-year opportunities to deliver sustainable revenue growth and margin expansion through continued product innovation, international expansion and the development of the Group's US manufacturing capability. The Board remains confident in the Group's strategy and the long-term growth opportunity ahead.
Dividend
The Board is pleased to declare an interim dividend of 2.16 cents (1.60 pence3) per ordinary share.
The interim dividend will have an ex-dividend date of 24 September 2026, with payment to shareholders no later than 16 October 2026.
