Trading update and Investor Meet Company seminar

In brief · summary, not quotable

Transense Technologies plc anticipates reporting revenue of at least £4.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of at least £0.5 million for the year ending June 30, 2026, with adjusted profit before tax near break-even, representing a slight reduction from prior expectations due to lower tyre manufacturer sales and slower customer commitment to SAWsense development costs, though Bridgestone iTrack royalty income remains as expected. The company's cash position was £1.12 million as of May 31, 2026. Despite these short-term adjustments, Transense highlights solid operational progress, including growth in SAWsense revenue to at least £1.3 million and a strengthening commercial pipeline, and remains confident in medium-term growth opportunities, with FY27 expectations being moderated due to the timing of contract conversions.

Trading update and Investor Meet Company seminar

Transense Technologies plc (AIM: TRT), the provider of specialist sensing solutions and measurement systems, provides an update on trading for the year ending 30 June 2026 ("FY26") and outlook for FY27.

The Company expects to report:

  • Revenue of not less than £4.6m,
  • Adjusted EBITDA of not less than £0.5m,
  • Adjusted profit before tax of approximately break-even.

This represents a modest reduction versus expectations set in January 2026, primarily reflecting:

  • Lower than anticipated sales from global tyre manufacturers within Translogik, offset by good conversion of new business. Demand from tyre majors expected to recover in FY27,
  • SAWsense development projects progressing well, although customer commitment to short term non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs slightly slower than anticipated,
  • Bridgestone iTrack royalty income as expected.

Cash at 31 May 2026 was £1.12m (31 Dec '25: £1.33m) and net cash of £0.71m (31 Dec '25: £0.92m). Planned working capital movements in June will temporarily reduce this position at the year end, reversing with strong cash collections due in July.

Progress update

  • SAWsense: Continued revenue growth led by T901 and motorsports programmes, with a pipeline of development contracts across other key target markets, especially robotics, moving towards production. Revenue is expected to be not less than £1.3m (FY25: £1.12m, FY26H1: £0.66m),
  • Translogik: Strengthening pipeline and increasing direct and distribution activity, offsetting reduced demand from global tyre majors. Revenue is expected to be not less than £1.25m (FY25: £1.32m, FY26H1: 0.59m). Revenue from new product launches expected to come on stream in FY27,
  • Bridgestone iTrack royalty: FY26 royalty income is expected to be not less than £2.0m and outlook for FY27 anticipated to show further modest growth,
  • Commercial pipeline: Several customer and partnership agreements are at an advanced stage at Translogik, with terms substantially agreed and expected to conclude in the near term. SAWsense continuing to build development pipeline with earliest production dates in 2027/28 continuing to be a realistic goal,
  • Operations: Pilot production line procurement complete, and initial production validation and process control results as expected.

Outlook for FY27

The Board remains confident in the Company's medium-term growth opportunities across both business segments. However, consistent with a prudent approach, FY27 expectations are being moderated to reflect:

  • The timing of conversion of advanced commercial opportunities carrying a degree of uncertainty,
  • Both business segments are working towards firm contractual commitments on several significant programmes, but these are not yet formalised.

These opportunities are actively progressing and have the potential to materially enhance performance in FY27 and beyond. Further announcements are expected as these are completed.

The Board also intends to continue to adopt the current financing strategy, whereby gross cash headroom is targeted to remain at around £1m. Trading at a profit at Adjusted EBITDA level is planned to provide internal cash generation sufficient to fund movements in working capital and further investment in new products and componentry.

Summary

While FY26 performance is slightly below earlier expectations, the underlying business continues to make solid operational progress, with:

  • Growth in core SAWsense activity
  • A strengthening commercial pipeline across both SAWsense and Translogik
  • Multiple near-term contract opportunities

The Board believes the Company remains well positioned for future growth, with further updates to be provided as commercial agreements are secured.

Comment

Nigel Rogers, Executive Chairman, said:

"We have continued to build strong momentum both commercially and operationally, particularly in SAWsense, while also advancing a number of significant new opportunities in both business units.

Whilst the timing of contract conversion has impacted short-term expectations, we remain confident in the underlying growth potential of the business and look forward to updating shareholders as these opportunities progress."
