Chairman's Statement

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Interim Results of RentGuarantor Holdings Plc for the six months ended 30 June 2026.

I am delighted to report that the growth in revenues which we saw in 2025 has not only continued but accelerated in the first half of 2026. This period has seen the implementation of the Renters' Rights Act, which came into force in May, and the significant groundwork that we had put in place for some considerable time beforehand has meant that we have quickly seen the benefit from the increasing demand these changes have brought. During this period, we continued to strengthen and invest in our technology and team, as well as further developing our industry partnerships and raising our brand awareness in a growing marketplace.

As I write this report, we are approaching the first anniversary of the Company's admission to AIM. The strides we have made over the last 12 months reflect our focus on building on the strengths of our core team, our relationships across the industry, and the significant changes in the private rental sector. The support of both existing shareholders and new investors, including notable institutional investment, means we can continue to build on the progress we have made this year. In short, the Company has achieved a very strong financial performance in the first half of the year and is making strategic investments which will support continued growth in the second half of 2026 and into 2027.

The period saw us generate positive EBITDA and significantly improved cash flows. Together with the recent investment from shareholders, the strength of the balance sheet means we can progress our strategic growth plans with even greater confidence. FY 2026 is on course to be a transformative year for RentGuarantor; I am hugely appreciative of the support we receive, and I know that the team doesn't take that for granted. I am confident that the next few months will see the continued scaling of the RentGuarantor brand, combined with the further building out of our team and operations.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, we have been nominated for the following awards:

·       Newcomer of the Year - AIM Awards

·       Future of Real Estate - Estates Gazette Awards

·       Disruptive Innovator of the Year - Property Week Tech Innovation Awards

·       Best Community and Social Impact - Property Week Tech Innovation Awards

Later this year, RentGuarantor will be sponsoring two key events in the estate agency calendar, the ESTAS and the Negotiator Conference & Expo and Awards - along with headline sponsorship of the Property Week Rental Living Summit aimed at the Living Sector market.

Operational Summary

During H1 2026, our marketing strategy was primarily aimed at ensuring maximum visibility for the key customer target group of tenants. This was supported by a new brand and website and additional investment in search marketing to drive transaction levels through paid and organic search. Over 48% of website traffic now comes directly from brand awareness, illustrating the strength of the brand's recognition, with search accounting for over 33% of all website sessions.

Reflecting the growing power of social media as a communication tool, follower growth on our social channels has been a specific strategic aim, with Instagram followers increasing by 150% in June 2026 alone; a substantial increase in posting levels drove over 20% growth in interactions on TikTok and LinkedIn during the same period.

This has been supported by a number of positive announcements that have furthered the RentGuarantor story and supported brand visibility over the course of H1 2026. We secured an extension of our brand ambassador partnership with barrister, broadcaster and author Rob Rinder MBE, whose expanded role is helping the Company drive consumer and landlord education surrounding the important role of guarantors. We also announced a strategic partnership with the National Residential Landlords Association, or NRLA, affording RentGuarantor visibility to its 111,000-strong membership as we jointly create a co-supported education and training programme, aimed at helping landlords to manage risk and protect their rental income.

On the technology front, we've significantly advanced our AI strategy, announcing our intention to develop and implement bespoke tools that the Board believes could illustratively have the potential to increase capacity for processing tenant documents to approximately 100,000 contracts per year by 2029, while also delivering significant efficiency gains across the business.

During this first half of the year, we also unveiled our new B2B strategy at the Resi Awards and Propertymark One, with a dominant presence at both events, enhanced by the new creative approach to the RentGuarantor brand.

Financial Review

The Group delivered a significant improvement in its financial performance during the six months ended 30 June 2026, reflecting continued operational execution, strong revenue growth and increasing operational leverage. The first half of 2026 represents an important milestone for RentGuarantor, with the business achieving profitability while simultaneously strengthening its balance sheet and liquidity position. The results have given the Board confidence in the Company's ability to meet market expectations on the financial performance for the year.

Revenue and Profitability

Revenue for the six-month period increased to £3.39 million (H1 2025: £0.97 million), representing year-on-year growth of approximately 250%. This performance was driven by a substantial increase in customer activity, with completed contracts rising by 179% to 3,703 (H1 2025: 1,326), together with a 25% increase in the average contract value for the comparable periods from £731 to £915, with the average contract value for June 2026 increasing further to £1,001.

The strong revenue growth reflects increasing market adoption of the Group's professional guarantor solution and the positive impact of the implementation of the Renters' Rights Act, which has accelerated demand across the private rental sector.

The increased scale of the business translated into a significant improvement in profitability. Adjusted EBITDA improved to a profit of approximately £110,000, compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of £124,000 in the corresponding period last year (excluding AIM admission costs). This demonstrates the operational leverage within the Group's business model as revenue growth continues to outpace increases in the underlying operating cost base.

The Group's results show an adjusted net profit of approximately £250,000, compared with an adjusted net loss of £367,000 in the prior period. In addition to the improved trading performance, the result reflects the accounting impact arising from the settlement of the Group's remaining Convertible Loan Notes, including the release of the associated derivative financial liability upon repayment.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

The Group materially reduced net cash used in operating activities during the Period, supported by improved profitability and continued growth in customer receipts. Combined with the successful completion of the £1.0 million equity placing in June 2026, this resulted in cash and cash equivalents increasing to approximately £2.4 million at 30 June 2026, compared with £1.97 million at 31 December 2025.

Since the end of June, approximately 60% of warrant holders have voluntarily exercised their rights and invested circa £2.15 million into the Company leading to a bank balance of circa £6m to date. Again, we are grateful for their continued support for and confidence in the business.

The strengthened liquidity position provides the Group with substantial financial flexibility to fund its growth strategy, invest in product development and technology, and support the continued expansion of its commercial operations without reliance on external debt financing.

Balance Sheet

The Group's balance sheet strengthened materially during the Period following the full repayment of the Directors' Loan and all outstanding Convertible Loan Notes. The elimination of these historic financing obligations significantly reduces financial risk, simplifies the Group's capital structure and removes future financing costs associated with these instruments.

The cash position also increased following the successful £1 million equity placing completed in June 2026, providing additional resources to accelerate strategic investments in automation and Artificial Intelligence.

Post Period-end, warrant holders have exercised their rights and invested circa £2.15m into the Company.

Key Financial Metrics

The financial performance achieved during the first half of 2026 demonstrates the increasing scalability of the Group's operating model. Revenue growth of approximately 250% significantly exceeded growth in the operating cost base, enabling the Group to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net profitability for the first time.

Operational key performance indicators continued to strengthen, with applications increasing by 110%, completed contracts by 179%, and average contract value by 25%, illustrating that growth is being driven by both increased customer volumes and higher value transactions.

The wider community

As a business, we know that what we do impacts the lives of so many with whom we connect. Our staff, partners and shareholders see the results of this throughout the year. However, we cannot be successful if we don't support those in the wider community. In my report on the FY25 results, I highlighted that we were able to make a charitable donation to our dedicated charity, Furnishing Futures, a cause that is extremely important to everyone at RentGuarantor. This extraordinary organisation furnishes and decorates properties - often using high-quality, second-hand furniture that would end up in landfill - to give hope and dignity to women and children placed in empty social housing after escaping domestic abuse. In May, acting as headline sponsor of the 2026 Property Week Resi Awards, Furnishing Futures was the official event charity and we were able to raise a significant sum. Emma Foy, our Chief Operations Officer, is leading our latest initiative; on 11 September 2026, she is cycling an impressive 247 miles from London to Paris to raise money for Furnishing Futures.

Proposed Board appointments

At the end of July, the Company announced its intention to strengthen the Board with the appointment of three Non-Executive Directors; Ben Thompson, Maya Klein Wassink, and Simon Jackson. The proposed new Non-Executive Directors will bring expertise in financial services, corporate governance, capital markets and strategic growth that will support RentGuarantor's next phase of development.

Our current Business Compliance Manager, Amanda Bower is also proposed to join the Board as an Executive Director in the role of Chief People and Risk Officer. Current Non-Executive Director, David Cliff, is proposed to transition to an Executive Director role as Director of Research and Innovation.

The appointments are subject to normal regulatory due diligence and a formal appointment process, which is expected to be completed later in Q3 2026.

Dividend

The Board has not declared an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2026. As the Group continues to invest in its long-term growth strategy, the Board believes it is appropriate to retain financial flexibility at this stage. The Board also intends to keep its capital allocation policy under regular review and will consider the introduction of a dividend policy as part of its assessment of the Group's full-year results and future capital requirements.

Summary and Outlook

The first half of the year has been our busiest ever with growth across the business. The team behind the numbers has also grown and developed. The enthusiasm and energy of everyone connected with RentGuarantor has been vital to what we have achieved, and I would like to thank everyone for their dedication, hard work, and at times, long and unsociable hours.

The second half of the year has started extremely positively, and we expect to see continued strong financial performance throughout the remainder of 2026 and into 2027 - further supported by the strategic launch of the RGG Tech Lab in Bristol, and historical strong performance during the third quarter of each year.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders, employees and commercial partners for their continued support and confidence.

I look forward to reporting to you on our progress over the coming months.
