Accepts a £206 million bid from Fort Worth, Texas-based Firstcash Holdings Inc. The offer, to be facilitated through the acquisition vehicle Chess Bidco Ltd, comprises 600 pence per share cash and 9p in dividends that were announced earlier this month. The bid values the Stockton-on-Tees, England-based financial services provider and pawnbroker at up to £206 million on a fully diluted basis and implies an enterprise value on a pre-IFRS 16 basis of up to £203 million. FirstCash is an international pawnbroking operator with over 3,300 locations in the US, Latin America and the UK, having entered the UK market through the £297 million acquisition of H&T Group PLC in 2025. Non-Executive Chair Simon Herrick says: ‘Unfortunately, the share price has not fully kept pace with the group’s positive profit and earnings per share growth, and FirstCash has made a cash offer for the group which represents a 35% premium to the current share price.’ ---------- Iomart Group PLC, down 19% at 14.53 pence, 12-month range 11.33p-30.3p. Reports final results for the year ended March 31. Total revenue rises 7.9% to £154.9 million from £143.5 million the year before. Pretax loss narrows to £13.6 million from £53.2 million. The cloud services company swings to an adjusted pretax loss of £4.0 million from a £6.5 million profit. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation fall to £25.6 million from £34.3 million, ‘reflecting lower recurring revenues and the shift in revenue mix including lower-margin Microsoft-related services’. Iomart says results are in line with revised market expectations. For the current financial year, it expects a ‘modest decline in full year revenue’. Adds that it expects the benefits of cost base actions and an increased focus on higher-value, strategically aligned services to support an improved profit profile during the second half. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
