The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Thursday and not separately reported by Alliance News: ---------- TruFin PLC - London-based holding company of three growth-focused technology businesses operating in early payment provision, invoice finance and mobile games publishing - Expects to report full-year profit before tax ahead of previous guidance of £7.0 million. Now sees pretax profit greater than £7.4 million, multiplying from £900,000 in 2024. Guides revenue of approximately £63.0 million, up from £55.0 million a year earlier, and anticipates adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in excess of £11.8 million, ahead of £7.6 million. Says performance during the year was driven by UK games publisher Playstack Ltd. ‘2024 was hard to beat - but we did so convincingly. With the foundations firmly in place, we will maintain our disciplined approach to capital allocation and work hard to deliver for shareholders in 2026 and beyond,’ says Chief Executive James van den Bergh. ---------- Likewise Group PLC - Birmingham, England-based floor coverings distributor - Reports total revenue for 2025 of £163.8 million, up 8.6% from 2024. Notes sales revenue in Likewise Floors advanced 13%, and says it is ‘well on target’ to achieve its £200 million objective for sales revenue. Adds it is considering ‘various investment options’ to materially exceed that figure. Notes it is on track to achieve current market expectations of pretax profit for 2025, and expects further meaningful growth in 2026.
