The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News: ---------- Hercules PLC - Cirencester, England-based labour supply company for the UK infrastructure and construction sectors - Hercules says its Civil Projects unit wins new contracts worth a total £6.1 million. Hercules wins a £4.5 million deal in the Thames Water region and also gets a £1.6 million award in the Anglian Water region. The projects form part of the 2025-2030 regulatory investment programme in the UK water sector, AMP8. ‘These latest contract wins further strengthen Hercules’ position within the UK water sector and demonstrate the continued expansion of the company’s Civil Projects division as it begins an increasing volume of self-delivered infrastructure projects,’ Hercules says. ---------- Shearwater Group PLC - London-based cybersecurity advisory and managed security services group - Shearwater wins a $1.2 million deal with ‘one of Japan’s largest financial groups’. The Brookcourt Solutions unit will provide email protection technology ‘providing advanced protection against increasingly sophisticated email-borne cyber threats’. The contract is for three years. ‘The solution will help protect the customer from phishing, business email compromise, account takeover attempts and data loss, whilst reducing security operations centre workloads through enhanced automated threat detection and response,’ Shearwater says. ‘For a leading global financial institution, these capabilities strengthen cyber resilience, support regulatory compliance and reduce the potential financial impact of security incidents.’ ---------- Getech Group PLC - Leeds, England-based geo-energy and green hydrogen location company - Trading ‘strengthened’ in the first six months of 2026, and it expects adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of £200,000, swinging from a loss of £100,000 a year prior. Revenue during the period climbs 15% on-year to £2.4 million from £2.1 million, ‘driven by a positive mix of new and retained business’. ---------- RC365 Holding PLC - payment solutions and fintech company, which operates primarily in east and southeast Asia - RC365 unit RCPAY strikes a deal with PyWave Network Technology Ltd, a Canadian payment services provider. PyWave is to provide payment collection and payout services to merchants introduced by RCPAY. ‘The board believes this agreement significantly broadens the payment and financial infrastructure capabilities available to the group’s operating businesses,’ RC365 says. ‘By expanding the range of local and cross-border payment collection, payout, and multi-tier banking virtual account solutions, the group is well-positioned to support its existing merchant base and accelerate client acquisition. Furthermore, the phased focus on high-growth areas, such as African countries, aligns with the group’s ongoing geographic expansion strategies to establish a stronger foothold in financial markets with high growth potential.’ The contract has an initial term of 24 months, and it will automatically renew for successive periods of 12 months unless terminated. ---------- DP Poland PLC - operates Domino’s Pizza restaurants across Poland and Croatia - System sales in the first half of 2026 rise 21% annually to £34.8 million. On a constant currency basis, they are up 18%. System orders are 12% higher on-year at 2.7 million. ‘Whilst group system sales and orders continued to deliver double-digit growth during H1 2026, like-for-like trading moderated in the second quarter against a strong comparative period, following a significant marketing and promotional campaign in Q2 2025,’ DP Poland says. Like-for-like system sales in Poland rise 3.7% in the second quarter, slowing from an 8.9% rise in the first. In Croatia, growth slows to 6.1% from 9.5%. DP Poland adds: ‘The group recognises the softer like-for-like order performance in Q2 and remains focused on initiatives to improve order growth while continuing to drive profitable system sales growth.’ ---------- Victoria PLC - Worcester, England-based designer, manufacturer and distributor of flooring products - Victoria seals the €34.4 million sale and lease back of its Belgian distribution centre to Avantage Property Holding BV. The asset had a net book value of €5.6 million as at the end of January. ‘Existing tax losses will be utilised to mitigate capital gains tax,’ Victoria says. The relocation of the majority of Balta Rug’s production in Turkey is ‘well-advanced’. ‘The distribution centre will remain the key European distribution hub for Balta Rugs. Alongside two additional surplus property disposals that are in process, the proceeds are expected to fully fund the exceptional costs and capital expenditure associated with the transfer of manufacturing to Turkey,’ Victoria adds. ---------- Feedback PLC - London-based provider of clinical communication platform Bleepa - Revenue in the financial year that ended May 31 amounts to roughly £800,000, down slightly from £900,000, and Feedback expects its loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to narrow and be ‘lower than expectations’ amid cost controls and cash management. ‘Cash balances at the end of financial 2026 are £2.7 million, ahead of expectations due to faster collections and cost control. The company continues to have sufficient cash runway through to mid-2027,’ Feedback says. The company is continuing to pursue a contract opportunity with NHS England for Bleepa, it says. ‘Based on recent conversations, whilst it is outside of the company’s control, the company is hopeful of a decision around the calendar year-end once NHSE and HM Treasury have concluded their evaluation. In the meantime, the company has been encouraged to continue to build the evidence base by increasing the scale of its deployment in Sussex,’ Feedback adds. ---------- CelLBxHealth PLC - Guildford, England-based liquid biopsy company - CelLBxHealth says it is on track for 2026 revenue of £2.1 million, which would represent a 50% rise from 2025. ‘We continue to be focused on disciplined execution and converting our commercial pipeline into sustainable revenue growth,’ Executive Chair Jan Groen tells the company’s annual general meeting on Tuesday. Groen will continued as executive chair. ‘As a company we are confident that we have sufficient capacity within the senior leadership team to ensure no impact on trading as we seek to appoint a new chief executive officer. The board has already begun the process of recruiting a new CEO and we look forward to updating shareholders in due course,’ CelLBxHealth says. ---------- Rockfire Resources PLC - base metal, critical mineral and precious metal exploration company with assets in Australia as well as Greece - Hole HMO-018 at the Molaoi deposit in Greece intersects ‘good zinc grades’. ‘The company has commenced fast-tracking several technical aspects of the feasibility study for Molaoi.

Rockfire expects these studies to kick off before the end of 2026 and take around four months to complete. ---------- Alien Metals Ltd - minerals exploration and development firm focused on Australia - A reconnaissance programme across its Vivash and Brockman iron ore projects confirm mineralisation.

Vincent Fayad is to join the Alien Metals board as executive director once the deal is sealed. Executive Chair Bruce Garlick is to move to a non-executive role for around three months until his resignation ‘to ensure an orderly handover of his responsibilities’. ---------- Helium One Global Ltd - helium explorer in Tanzania, which also has a 50% working interest in the Galactica-Pegasus development operated by Blue Star Helium Ltd - Helium One notes Blue Star Helium reports a first production tube trailer has been sold and now has left the Pinon Canyon plant.
