The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News: ---------- Capital Ltd - mining services company - Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 improves 9.2% on-year to $92.7 million from $84.9 million, but is down on-quarter from $93.9 million. For the whole of the year, revenue is down 0.6% to $345.8 million, achieving the upper end of its revised $335 million to $350 million outlook. Executive Chair Jamie Boyton says: ‘MSALABS delivered a record revenue performance in FY 2025 as numerous new laboratories were commissioned and utilisation improved at existing laboratories. Our Reko Diq mining contract is ramping up well with full run rate earnings contribution expected from H2 2026 whilst our drilling division also delivered its best annual performance to date in 2025. Alongside record commodity prices and increasing exploration and capex expenditure by our customers, we expect this solid momentum to continue in 2026 across all our divisions, supported by multi-year contracts and strong growth pipelines. This positions Capital to deliver another year of strong results and peer-leading shareholder returns.’ ---------- Yu Group PLC - Nottingham, England-based gas and electricity supplier and smart meter installer - Yu Group expects revenue of around £700 million for 2025, up from £646 million, ‘reflecting normalisation of wholesale energy prices’. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation are expected to be in line with expectations. Yu Group puts consensus at £50.3 million. Its Ebitda in 2024 amounted to £48.8 million. Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kalar says: ‘The group continues to demonstrate market leading growth in normalised market conditions, underpinning the firm belief that we are well placed to deliver our medium term ambition of 6% market share. I’m pleased we have positioned the business for its next stage of growth and I’m particularly grateful to my wonderful team who have continued to play a pivotal role in the business’s success. We have delivered significant YoY growth and I look forward to updating shareholders in due course.’ ---------- Bango PLC - Cambridge-based digital payments firm - Bango hails 2025 as an ‘important year’. Annual recurring revenue climbs 30% to $18.2 million, with cash earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation swinging to $2.3 million, from a loss of some $200,000 in 2024. ‘We expect the growth of cash Ebitda to accelerate in FY26,’ Bango says. Adjusted Ebitda of $16.3 million is expected, growing 7% from $15.3 million. Total revenue of $52.2 million is expected for 2025, down from $53.4 million. ---------- McBride PLC - Manchester, England-based private-label products manufacturer - McBride expects full year adjusted operating profit in line with analysts expectations and the prior two financial years. It puts consensus at £64.0 million. Adjusted operating profit in the year ended June 30, 2025 fell 1.0% to £66.1 million from £67.1 million. For the six months just ended December 31, it says it continued to ‘maintain and build on the significant improvement in financial performance’. ‘Whilst first half adjusted operating profit will be slightly behind the particularly strong performance of the prior year period, the group anticipates the second half to be favourable compared to prior year, driven by a pipeline of confirmed business wins to be launched in the second half, which in turn will continue to provide a solid foundation for profit growth in the financial years 2027 and 2028,’ McBride says. ‘Group revenue was 0.8% higher at reported rates with volumes growing by 0.4%. Overall demand for private label products remains strong with private label household share of the top 5 markets remaining at recent highs.’ ---------- CRISM Therapeutics Corp - British Virgin Islands-based pharmaceutical company - CRISM has been granted a patent by the Japanese Patent Office. It relates to the ChemoSeed product ‘for chemotherapeutic drug implants and more’. ‘The patent covers the manufacturing processes for the preparation of these chemotherapeutic drug implants and to their use in therapy, in particular in treating brain tumours such as glioblastoma,’ CRISM adds. ---------- Active Energy Group PLC - renewable energy and digital infrastructure company based in London - Active Energy has been granted an entrepreneur licence by the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia. Active Energy says this is a ‘strategic milestone’ for the company. ‘The entrepreneur licence offers a more accessible and cost-efficient entry framework than traditional foreign investment licences, while still providing a full legal foundation to build and grow operations in Saudi Arabia. Importantly, the licence allows for 100% foreign ownership in eligible sectors and provides access to a broad range of entrepreneurial support mechanisms,’ it adds. ---------- First Development Resources PLC - explorer for critical minerals and rare-earth elements in Western Australia and Northern Territory - First Development Resources applies for three new exploration licences in the Paterson province of Western Australia. They are located immediately east of its existing Wallal licences. The applications cover ground ‘previously held by Rio Tinto Exploration’. ---------- Helium One Global Ltd - helium explorer in Tanzania, also has a 50% working interest in the Galactica Project which is operated by Blue Star Helium Ltd - First gas has been achieved at the Galactica project in Colorado, US. ‘Technical teams are now onsite at the Pinon Canyon plant, where the focus is on optimising processing equipment and stabilising throughput to meet the delivery requirements of Blue Star’s initial shortterm offtake agreements,’ Helium One adds. ‘The achievement of first gas at Galactica represents a major operational and commercial milestone for the joint venture, demonstrating clear progress toward establishing a reliable, scalable supply source in the US helium market.’ Helium One notes Blue Star is pursuing short-term deals to ‘secure immediate cash flow and long-term partnerships for stable revenue’. More revenue growth is expected in the first half of 2026. ---------- Galileo Resources PLC - copper, gold and lithium mine developer in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana - Galileo Resources receives laboratory from recent reverse circulation drilling at the Kalahari copper belt in Botswana. They confirm ‘the presence of copper mineralisation in vertical hole (QTRC014)’. ‘The fact that we have encountered copper mineralisation over an extensive interval in our first reconnaissance drilling programme testing a soil target is very encouraging. The combination of position and prospectivity provides us with strong motivation to continue exploration on this licence,’ Chair and Chief Executive Officer Colin Bird says. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
