Trading Update and Notice of Results

Tribal (AIM: TRB), a leading provider of software services to the international education market, is pleased to provide an update on trading for the six months ended 30 June 2026 ("H126").

Trading performance and Outlook

Trading in the first half of the year has been robust, in line with management expectations. Closing Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)³ of the Core business increased by 10.7% to £64.6m (30 June 2025: £58.3m at constant currency³), reflecting growth in the Group's strategic products and cloud offering, more than offsetting the anticipated ongoing decline in non-core business ARR. Overall ARR increased by 9.7% to £66.5m (30 June 2025: £60.6m at constant currency).

Net cash improved to £0.6m (30 June 2025: net debt of £3.9m), after payment of £6m in dividends in the period, with the improved position reflecting the Group's continuing focus on cost control and operational efficiency.

Tribal expects to deliver a solid trading performance in FY26 with revenue and adjusted EBITDA¹ comfortably in line with current market expectations².
