Interim Results and Trading Update

Huddled Group plc (AIM: HUD), the live commerce business, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months to 30 June 2026 (the “Period”) and an update on developments since the Period end.

Following a series of successful trials, the Board has decided to pivot the Group to being a live commerce business, where the Board believes there is significant growth potential. Post-Period trading has been encouraging, with live commerce revenue now running at circa £100,000 per week at a product margin of circa 40%.

Post Period highlights

●         £1.16m funds raised on 22 July 2026 at 0.4p per share.

●         Launch of Live Commerce joint ventures across Whatnot and TikTok platforms.

●         Agreement in place to launch eBay Live Commerce in the coming weeks.

●         ‘Powered by Peeko’ Proprietary software developed allowing full integration with all Live Commerce platforms - allowing for next day delivery.

●         Continued growth in Live Commerce revenue - current run rate at circa £100k per week.

●         Live Commerce product margin circa 40%.

●         Returning purchasing customers - Circa 30% (Whatnot - 1st-22nd September 2026).

●         Live Commerce followers - circa 100,000.

H1 highlights

●         £0.35m funds raised on 30 June 2026 at 0.4p per share. £0.28m of proceeds included in other receivables at Period end balance sheet.

●         Revenue for the Period was £7.14m, down from £9.48m in the same period in 2025. However, gross profit increased 118% to £0.42m vs the same period in 2025 (H1 2025: £0.19m) due to focus on fewer, more profitable orders.

●         Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to £1.24m (H1 2025: £1.47m).

●         Discount Dragon and Boop Beauty merged and rebranded Peeko in April 2026.

●         Profitable trial of Live Auction Commerce on TikTok.

In many ways the H1 2026 results are somewhat un-representative of the current business model. In H1 2026 our focus was very much on the margin per order, with a strong focus on working capital constraints. We recognised that trying to offer customers the ability to undertake their weekly shop with Discount Dragon meant we had to supplement the surplus stock we predominantly sold with items that were non-surplus which, when offered at competitive prices, resulted in significantly reduced margins.

In April 2026 we reorganised our business merging Discount Dragon and Boop Beauty into our new brand Peeko. This resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of £1.63m, being mainly the ascribed brand value of the Discount Dragon business when it was acquired. That said, the main value of these businesses is, we believe, the database of customers which currently stands at over 600,000.

With an acute focus on the need to demonstrate a pathway to profitability we set about analysing both stock and channels to market. In May 2026 we reported that the business had achieved several days of breakeven. This significant breakthrough had been aided by a trial on TikTok live commerce, which generated over £30,000 in profitable sales. Whilst this in itself wasn’t that meaningful, it did uncover both a major opportunity, as well as some challenges. The TikTok orders in question were all fulfilled outside of our THG fulfilment partnership, which, due to the volume of orders generated in a short period of time resulted in delayed fulfilment and deliveries, meaning we had to pause sales on the TikTok platform. This was in many ways a breakthrough moment for the Company. We had uncovered the power of live commerce, but also realised that if we could solve the problem of scalable delivery with these platforms then we could create something that would give us a distinctive advantage in this growing market.

It became very clear to us that ‘live’ selling was a much better way to engage with customers than a traditional static website. In many ways this new way of selling turns traditional e-commerce on its head. Traditionally a customer selects what they want to buy, putting it in their digital basket, they then go to the check-out, enter their address and credit card information and complete the sale. This process is clunky and has drop off points at every stage of the process. Live commerce, and more particularly Live Auction Commerce is different, the consumer has already registered their details ahead of time, thus allowing them to place bids on items in real time and ultimately buy those items with one simple click. This combined with the ability to interact with the live presenter makes for a fun way of shopping.

In many ways this is a natural evolution, effectively taking the best bits from several well established platforms. The live element of teleshopping from the likes of QVC, the thrill of the final ten seconds in an eBay auction, and the community focus on social media channels.

Data on this evolving market underpins our thesis that this is an exciting way for consumers to shop. Whatnot, established in the USA in 2019 has quickly grown to become the largest Live Auction Commerce platform in the world, although it is still in its infancy in the UK and Europe. 2025 sales topped $8bn with the company now valued at $20bn following a $545m fund raise earlier this year. Sites such as TikTok and eBay have quickly followed suit introducing live auctions to their platforms. One of the most interesting statistics for us was the dwell time. Normal static e-commerce sites are around 3-5 minutes, Whatnot reported a dwell time of 95 minutes in the USA and 65 minutes in Europe, figures unheard of in e-commerce.

In June and July 2026 the Company raised £1.5m of new money, allowing us to take the strategic decision to invest in Live Commerce. The biggest challenge we saw was that of sellers offering timely delivery. UK customers, as we know, have an expectation of next day delivery. We had solved this problem via our partnership with THG Fulfil for our static website, but it remained impossible for this to work with the various live commerce platforms. In Q3 2026 the Company solved this problem with the development of two significant proprietary software solutions, the first being, ‘Powered by Peeko’, a technology solution that connects the leading live commerce platforms directly to the company’s automated fulfilment operation. This integration is designed to support real‑time order processing at scale and provide next‑day delivery for qualifying orders placed by 10pm.

Early trials on our Peeko Live Whatnot account have resulted in almost 3,000 reviews and a 4.9 star rating with many customers struggling to believe they can interact with our live presenter at 10pm and get the goods delivered to their home the next day.

The second development is the Company’s own Live Commerce auction platform. This will allow the Company to offer a sophisticated live auction platform on its own websites. This solution includes the ability for existing Peeko and Nutricircle customers to chat, bid on items, as well as giving the presenters the opportunity to use the proprietary platform to educate customers on the products being sold, particularly relevant for the Nutricircle brand.

This software is currently being beta tested with a select number of existing customers. Early signs are very encouraging with the system performing well, including solid dwell times, and better than anticipated bids. Uptake from a small sample of our database, especially those that have not purchased with us for several months, to our live auction beta test is very encouraging, and with over 600,000 customers to target we are excited as to what this could mean for our own live auction platform. Over the coming weeks we will continue to scale testing with a view to launching ‘Peeko Live’ platform fully on the peeko.co.uk website during October.              

We are pleased to report the current live commerce solutions across both Whatnot and TikTok are starting to gather momentum, with revenue and customer numbers continuing to grow at a very encouraging rate. Live commerce revenues have grown rapidly and are running at circa £100,000 per week; gross product margin at around 40%; returning purchasing customers on the Whatnot platform for 1st-22nd September were circa 30%, which is particularly encouraging given the focus on gadgets; and circa 100,000 followers. These metrics are very encouraging for something at this stage in its evolution.

The ‘Powered by Peeko’ software solution links cutting edge sales techniques, being live auction commerce, with a state of the art fulfilment centre, being THG Fulfil, this powerful combination allows the Group to not only offer swift next day delivery on orders placed up to 10pm, making it unique in the space it also allows the Group to turn stock far faster, with products being sold simultaneously across Peeko’s website, Whatnot, TikTok, and eBay Live, thereby improving the Group’s working capital cycle.

We intend to launch on eBay Live in the coming weeks, and we will be adding more channels on both TikTok and Whatnot throughout October. The Peeko.co.uk website will also launch its ‘Peeko Live’ platform in the month of October too. Nutricircle will add Live Commerce, albeit with a more educational, informative angle before the end of Q4.

The transition to live commerce is a transformational and bold move, but one the Board believes is not only the correct one, but one that opens up a wealth of opportunities. The UK live commerce market is growing rapidly, Whatnot reported over 300% growth in new buyers in 2025, and global sales over $8bn in the first half of 2026. TikTok reported a 55% year-on-year growth in the UK for Live shopping from 2025 to 2026, with over 6,000 shopping sessions a day. eBay have now moved into Live Commerce, and with the UK market forecast to  exceed £7bn in revenues by 2028, this is, we believe, a market we not only want to be in, but a market we can potentially dominate with our ‘Powered by Peeko’ next day delivery solution.

We have invested in a broader stock offering, plus software technology, which, whilst still in its infancy, we can see has the ability to transform the business. Revenue growth, margin, retention, and user numbers are all very encouraging. We already have a leading, and profitable position on Whatnot in Gadgets, we now want to extend this to Beauty, Home & Living, and Jewellery across this channel, but also Tiktok, eBay and our own website. If we can continue on the current trajectory this will, we believe, transform the business and its potential.

Martin Higginson, Founder and Executive Chairman said: “Placing live commerce at the heart of our business model is a strategic decision that I’m confident will reap big rewards. It enables us to grow profitably at pace while putting us firmly in the driving seat to create what I believe will be the next big thing in UK retail.

“We’ve seen the success of live commerce in overseas markets and although still in its infancy here in the UK, we know it’s going to take off – and take off big. It will quickly become part of the fabric of online shopping, just as it has in the United States and across Asia. Our early tests show strong indicators that UK customers are ready to embrace this new shopping format.

“We’ve learned a great deal operating in the traditional e-commerce space and we’re building on those foundations. Now, we’re focusing on creating online communities where people can connect, chat, bid and buy, in a fun, engaging way. By combining the excitement of live, entertaining shopping with the reliability of automated fulfilment and next-day delivery, we’re confident we’ll offer cost-conscious customers a unique retail experience – one that builds strong connections and loyalty. Even just a few weeks in, we’re already seeing customers join us, return to us, and buy again – with dwell times far exceeding anything we’ve seen in traditional e-commerce.

“Recent investments in expanding inventory and developing our own proprietary software will give us a significant edge as a live commerce operator. I fully expect us to not only lead this market but to dominate it. As we expand our channel presence, increase our breadth of platforms, and build our broadcast hours, we believe we will see the benefits flow straight to the bottom line.”

Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Under IAS 33, diluted loss per share is presented when a company has potential share obligations. However, IAS 33 prohibits diluted EPS from appearing better than basic loss per share. Since including potential ordinary shares would decrease the loss per share, these effects are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation.

7      INCOME TAX

The Group recognised deferred tax liabilities in respect of fair value adjustments arising on the acquisitions of Discount Dragon and Nutricircle. A deferred tax asset was also recognised in respect of accumulated tax losses acquired with Discount Dragon.

Following the rebrand of Discount Dragon to Peeko, and the resulting impairment of the Discount Dragon brand, the related deferred tax liabilities have been fully unwound. The directors have also derecognised the deferred tax asset relating to the acquired losses, on the basis that the Group is not currently recognising deferred tax assets in respect of other trading losses.

The tax charge in the period is comprised as follows:

	Unaudited	Unaudited	Audited

Development costs are comprised of software.  Development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over 3 years.

Other intangible assets comprise assets recognised on business combinations, domain names and trademark costs. Other intangible assets are amortised over two or three years.

During the period, the decision was taken to merge the group’s Discount Dragon and Boop Beauty into one website which was rebranded as Peeko. As a result of these decisions, the Discount Dragon brand was impaired in full, resulting in an impairment charge of £1,577,000 in the period. Development costs incurred by Boop Beauty were also impaired in full, resulting in a further impairment charge of £49,000 in the period.

Amortisation is charged to administrative costs in the income statement.
