The following is a round-up of earnings for London-listed companies, issued since last week and not separately reported by Alliance News: ---------- Cordel Group PLC - London-based transport corridor analytics platform - Total revenue in 12 months to June 30 rises 7.9% to £4.8 million from £4.4 million, while Cordel’s pretax loss narrows to £358,000 from £1.2 million. ‘We are delighted by the momentum we have in winning new customer contracts and extending and renewing our agreements with existing clients,’ Chief Executive Officer John Davis says. ‘We are delighted with the staff we have at Cordel and based on the quality of our team, the maturity and scalability of our products and services and the consistently positive response we get from existing and potential new customers, we feel genuinely excited about our commercial prospects in FY26 and beyond.’ ---------- Focusrite PLC - High Wycombe, England-based music and audio products firm - Revenue in year ended August 31 rises 6.6% to £168.9 million from £158.5 million, with pretax profit jumping to £6.8 million from £2.5 million. Though for a 12-month period, these are not Focusrite’s final results as it announced last year a plan to change its year end date to February 28 from August 31. Total dividend for the year to August is down to 4.2p per share from 6.6p. ‘The lower level of declared dividends compared with the previous 12 months is due to the group moving the financial reporting date to February from August. This will enable the recommendation of a final dividend for the 18 month period to February 2026,’ Focusrite adds. ---------- AdvancedAdvT Ltd - London-based owner of software for business solutions, healthcare compliance, and human capital management businesses - Pretax profit in six months to August 31 falls 43% to £4.7 million from £8.3 million. Revenue, however, rises 28% to £25.4 million from £19.9 million. ‘We are pleased with the group’s performance in the first half of the year against a backdrop of tariff uncertainty and local government devolution. The completion of two strategic acquisitions, GOSS and HFX, marks a further step forward, and it is great to welcome both teams into the group,’ Chair Vin Murria says. ---------- EnSilica PLC - Oxford, England-based computer chip maker - Pretax loss in year to May 31 widens to £3.5 million from £100,000. Revenue declines 28% to £18.2 million from £25.3 million. ‘FY 2025 has been a positive year for the group with six new ASIC development and supply agreements won by the group in competitive tendering processes, as well as a 97% increase in supply revenues taking those revenues up to £5.7 million,’ EnSilica says. ‘The group’s revenues for FY 2025 were £18.2 million, lower than the previous year as a result of the non-recurrence of a large space communication tape-out which occurred in FY 25 as well as lower ASIC development revenues.’ ---------- dotDigital Group PLC - London-based customer experience and data platform - Pretax profit in the year to June 30 rises 14% to £15.1 million from £13.2 million. Revenue improves 6.3% to £83.9 million from £79.0 million. ‘We are pleased to report another year of profitable growth alongside meaningful progress on our platform strategy. New customer wins were complemented by consistently high retention and expansion within our existing base, underscoring the strategic value clients place on our platform as the foundation of their digital marketing strategy,’ Chief Executive Officer Milan Patel says. ‘With market conditions improving, our pipeline is healthy, our balance sheet is strong and our partner network continues to expand. We enter the new financial year focused on disciplined execution: expanding usage, growing internationally and delivering innovation that drives measurable outcomes for our customers.’ ---------- Smiths News PLC - Swindon, England-based newspaper and magazine distributor - Profit in the full-year to August 30 increases, but revenue shrinks.
