Interim Results

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Time To ACT plc reported interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025, with turnover decreasing to £732,370 from £1,665,199 in the prior year, primarily due to the absence of a ~£750k Large Parts contract. The company secured a £1.012m raw material sale, with £540,000 received and the remainder expected by year-end, which will significantly improve the cash position from £299k at period-end. Despite low capacity utilization, the gross profit margin remained strong at 48%, and the company raised £274,000 in May 2025 through a share issue. The operating loss widened to £650,484 from £137,560, contributing to a net loss for the period of £683,224.

Interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025

 

Time To ACT plc (AQSE: TTA), an engineering-led group focused on technology for the energy transition supply chain, announces its unaudited half-year results for the period ended 30 September 2025 ("H1 2026").

Comparative data is for the six months ended 30 September 2024 ("H1 2025") and year ended 31 March 2025.   

Financial highlights

·      Volatility in the timing of Large Parts work continues to affect Group financial results.  The H1 2025 period benefited from the execution of a Large Parts contract worth ~£750k in revenue.   No such Large Parts work was executed in H1 2026.  Diffusion Alloys has experienced delays in booking Large Parts contracts particularly, but not solely, in the Blue Hydrogen sector. The Group continues to close in on around £4-5m of Large Parts contracts, as announced on 18 November 2025.

·      Diffusion Alloys concluded over the end of the period an agreement for the sale of £1.012m of raw materials, primarily comprising surplus coating compound.  Proceeds of £540,000 were received in November 2025 with the final £472,000 expected to be received prior to the end of the financial year ended 31 March 2026.    

·      Gross profit margin remained very healthy at 48% despite low capacity utilisation and overhead recoveries in its Diffusion Alloys business.

·      Cash at bank of £299k (at 30 September 2025) will have materially improved at the end of the financial year (at 31 March 2026) as a result of the £1m+ raw material sale noted above.

·      In May 2025, the Group raised £274,000 through the issue of 685,000 new Ordinary Shares, at a price of 40p per share. This included £200,000 from Puma AIM VCT plc. In addition to the £274,000 funds raised, the Group converted £60,619 of existing convertible loans at 40p per share into 151,546 new Ordinary Shares.

 

Chris Heminway, Chief Executive and Chief Strategy Officer of Time To ACT plc said:

"The dominant feature of these results remains the challenging feast-to-famine nature of Diffusion Alloys' Large Parts work.  The primary challenge for the business is to iron out this volatility, which will mean more stable cash flows and eliminate the requirement for the extraordinary efforts that went into agreeing the compound sale agreement booked over the end of the period.  Profits on the sale will be booked in H2 2026 which will be equivalent to the profit on £2.5m of coating sales at a 40% gross margin and thus will more than compensate for the negative financial impact from the delays in Large Parts work.  As we close in on a significant volume of Large Parts work, I look forward to higher future sales.  In the meantime, the Group remains steadfastly focused on managing its cash reserves and so we continue to demonstrate that we can both raise external finance and release hidden reserves from our balance sheet when needed".

About Time To ACT plc

Time To ACT plc is an engineering-led group focused on technology for the energy transition supply chain. It currently has two principal operating businesses: Diffusion Alloys and GreenSpur. As the parent company of the Group, Time To ACT provides strategic and operational support to the operating companies and capital to enable their growth.

 

About Diffusion Alloys 

Diffusion Alloys supplies diffusion coatings. A diffusion coating is an intermetallic layer that protects metal components from degradation at high temperatures and in highly corrosive environments, such as those found in hydrogen and nuclear energy generation.

 

Diffusion Alloys has joined forces with Johnson Matthey plc, the market leaders in synthesis gas ("syngas") with a significant pipeline of Blue Hydrogen projects, to scale-up production and address the increasing demand for low carbon hydrogen used to reduce global carbon emissions.

 

In addition to working for numerous historic and existing customers, the Directors believe that Diffusion Alloys is the only credible diffusion coater in the world for blue hydrogen components, has already been coating in volume for a leading European vendor in the green hydrogen space and is also in pre-commercial discussions with new cleantech equipment manufacturers.

 

Diffusion Alloys has two distinct areas of focus:

·    Coating Technology: Selling technical excellence in coating capability supported by the concept of "flexible capacity" - the ability to provide customers with capacity wherever they need it, whether for the coating of Large Parts or Small Parts.

·    Coating Services: Plant-led coatings business centred on its Middlesbrough site.

 

About GreenSpur

GreenSpur is an intellectual property creator and generator designer that has developed a credible solution for renewable energy applications to the Rare Earth magnet problem.

 

Magnets constructed using Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are fundamental components in electrical generators and electric vehicle motors which are critical to delivering the clean energy transition. However, there are substantial supply chain constraints and risks in the sourcing of REEs that are needed for these magnets.

 

GreenSpur's generator design eliminates the need for Rare Earth magnets and copper coils without any loss in electrical performance.
