Ingenta PLC on Monday said that it expects 2026 to be ‘a year of solid further progress’ as it posted a slightly higher pretax profit for 2025. The Oxford, England-based provider of software and services to the publishing industry said pretax profit rose 1.9% to £1.9 million in 2025 from £1.8 million in 2024. Revenue edged up 0.7% to £10.3 million from £10.2 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation however fell 9.9% to £1.6 million from £1.8 million, with Ingenta citing anticipated additional expenditure in sales and marketing. Ingenta proposed a final dividend of 2.75 pence per share, up 5.8% from 2.60p a year ago. This brings the total payout for 2025 to 4.5p, up 9.8% from 4.1p for 2024. Looking ahead, Chair Martyn Rose said the board expects revenue in 2026 to be broadly in line with 2025, with revenue from new customer wins offsetting anticipated attrition in legacy platform revenue. He added: ‘Overall, the board looks forward to 2026 as a year of solid further progress, with a year-on-year increase in next generation recurring revenues generating positive cash flows and backed by substantial cash balances and no debt.’ The company said it has a growing sales pipeline for all its products and expects deals to be awarded in early 2026. Ingenta shares fell 6.1% to 101.00 pence each on Monday afternoon in London. Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
