Light Science Technologies Holdings plc (AIM: LST), the innovative technology and manufacturing business providing real-world solutions targeting issues including global food security and fire safety, announces that its Contract Electronics Manufacturing division ("CEM"), UK Circuits and Electronics Solutions Limited ("UKC"), has won three contracts worth, in aggregate, approximately £0.5m (comprising a new contract worth approximately £0.3m and two re-tendered contracts with existing clients worth a further approximately £0.2m).

The first contract is for a new client based in Sweden, which specialises in electronic signage for the transport sector, providing upgraded lighting circuitry for use on a major UK transport network. Valued at approximately £0.3m, monthly deliveries are expected to start in October 2025 and continue over the course of the next financial year, and this opportunity has the potential to generate follow-on revenue.

The CEM division has also received a further two successfully re-tendered contacts from existing clients, worth in addition, approximately £0.2m. Deliveries of these two contracts will also commence in the Company's current financial year, with the two new orders expected to be fulfilled by the end of October 2026.

The total value of the CEM forward order book now stands in excess of £2.5m.

UKC continues to supply products to a growing number of customers across an increasingly broad range of market sectors, targeting larger contracts which provide better financial visibility. The focus is on targeting higher-margin sectors thereby reducing exposure to individual markets and clients, with increased investment, automation and accreditations positioning CEM for increasingly profitable growth. These contracts demonstrate an increasingly robust conversion of the Group's strong quoted pipeline, which, as announced in the Company's unaudited interim results for the 6 months ended 31 May 2025, released on 12 August 2025, currently stands at over £58m across its three divisions.

Simon Deacon, CEO of LSTH, commented: "We are delighted to share the positive progress in our CEM division with a new client win and two follow-on contract wins. We are highly focused on converting our quoted pipeline and are continuing to progressively re-position the CEM division into key growth markets which include transport, defence and the medical sectors.

"In particular, we are excited to be providing turnkey solutions for this prestigious new customer based in Sweden, also demonstrating the potential for further international growth and further de-risking the CEM division as we continue to diversify."
