The following is a round-up of earnings reports by London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News: ---------- Zoyo Ltd - Cayman Islands-registered holding company of the Zoyo Group, an assemblage of British fintech companies - Reports no revenue for the six months ended March 31, unchanged from the previous year. Pretax loss widens to £444,343 from £174,313. Administrative expenses increase, and operating loss widens, to £292,818 from £5,292. Cash and equivalents total £2.4 million as of March 31, down from £2.7 million. ---------- Helix Exploration PLC - London-based helium exploration and development company advancing the Rudyard helium project in northern Montana - Reports results for the six months ended March 31, noting that it started helium production at its Rudyard Project in February and agreed a spot supply deal with ‘an industrial gases group’ in May. Generates no revenue for the period, unchanged from the prior year. Pretax loss widens to £774,000 from £517,000. Cash and equivalents total £1.8 million at the half year’s end, down from £3.3 million one year prior. Chief Executive Ben Sears comments: ‘Helix today stands in its strongest position to date: in production, on the cusp of generating sales at attractive prices, better capitalised, and now in direct control of its own development drilling. We are positioned at a truly unique juncture in the helium landscape. Global supply remains structurally constrained and concentrated in a small number of ageing and geopolitically exposed sources, while demand from semiconductors, medical imaging, aerospace and other high-value applications continues to prove resilient. New, reliable, domestic supply is scarce...the company is exceptionally well placed to capitalise on these conditions and to convert its position into sustainable cash flow and lasting value for shareholders.’ ---------- Smarter Web Co PLC - Bristol, England-based web design and development and online marketing services provider with bitcoin treasury policy - Reports a £2.7 million operating loss for the six months ended April 30, widened from £207,221 the year before. ‘A significant portion of this reflects significant one-off costs associated with the company’s successful uplisting to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in February 2026, including listing and exchange fees and associated legal and professional costs,’ it explains. Reports revenue of £397,473, up from none. Pretax loss is £71.4 million, widened from £719,566. Smarter Web reports a net other gains and losses charge of £68.7 million, comprising a £70.8 million fair value loss on bitcoin as the cryptocurrency’s price fell to $76,300 as of April 30 from approximately $109,500 at October 31. Also notes the ‘important step’ of its Squarebird Agency Ltd acquisition in February. ‘The board enters the second half of the 2026 financial year with confidence,’ CEO Andrew Webley comments. ‘Both operating divisions are performing in line with expectations, the pipeline of acquisition opportunities continues to develop, and the platform established during the period provides a strong foundation from which to execute the group’s strategy.’ Company says trading since the period’s end ‘has continued to perform in line with management expectations, supported by recurring revenues from the existing client base, ongoing project delivery and new client acquisition,’ and that it has continued accumulating bitcoin, currently holding 2,878 in total for a 15.29% second-quarter yield. ---------- Zephyr Energy PLC - Rocky Mountain region-focused oil and gas company - Reports results for 2025, which Non-Executive Chair Rick Grant calls ‘a period of significant progress as the company prepares to unlock what we believe to be the next prolific onshore oil and gas play in the [US].’ He particularly notes ‘the drilling and excellent production test results from the State 36-2 LNW-CC-R well...which achieved a peak flow rate of 2,848 barrels of oil equivalent per day...with no material drop in bottom hole pressure, and without the use of any fracture stimulation, suggesting that the well ranks in the top 6% of gas wells across the Lower 48 US states.’ Company reports revenue of $13.9 million, down from $24.3 million in 2024, and a gross profit of $2.5 million, down from $7.2 million. ‘These results were in line with our forecasts and reflect the lower oil price environment over the period combined with the standard decline in the non-operated asset portfolio,’ Zephyr says, also noting that six wells operated by Slawson Exploration were shut-in ‘for a significant part of the year’. Pretax loss narrows to $10.8 million from $20.0 million, and administrative expenses decrease to $5.8 million from $6.0 million. Looking ahead, it expects ‘an increase in revenue and profitability in the 2026 financial year due to the recent spike in commodity prices, the Slawson wells being online and a full year of revenues from the acquisition [of working interests in production assets across core Rocky Mountain basins].’ ---------- Chariot Ltd - London-based energy company - Reports loss from operations of $12.0 million for 2025, narrowed from $21.7 million for 2024. Reports pretax profit of $475,000, swung from $22.4 million loss. Notes a one-off $15.4 million gain on deemed disposal of Chariot Generation and Trading (Pty) Ltd. Says that so far in 2026, it has secured ‘substantial economic exposure’ to Angolan offshore oil assets, which produce around 40,000 barrels of oil per day. Also notes that it regained operatorship and a 75% working interest in the offshore Lixus and Rissana licences in May, 2025. ‘Our renewables business has built further critical mass over the past months and we are now looking to realise this value and utilise the capital to further accelerate our upstream objectives,’ adds CEO Adonis Pouroulis. ‘Fundamentally, we are focused on growth, and alongside our existing assets which represent independently valuable opportunities, we have the partners, the team, and financial foundation to continue to execute and scale.’ ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
