HSS Hire Group PLC, up 39% at 10.03 pence, 12-month range 5p-10.035p. The Manchester, England-based tool and equipment rental supplier announces an agreement that will see Speedy Hire provide services to, and invest in, HSS Hire, which will rename itself ProService Building Services Marketplace PLC as a result. Says ProService, its digital marketplace for customer and supplier acquisition, has entered a five-year supply agreement with Speedy Hire under which Speedy will replace HSS Service Group Ltd as the principal equipment supplier to ProService. Speedy will pay GBP35 million and HSS Hire will issue 79.4 million shares to Speedy, giving it just under a 10% stake in the renamed ProService PLC company. HSS says it will use the investment to fund the disposal of HSS Service to Project Mansell Newco Ltd, a newly formed company indirectly owned by investment funds managed by Endless LLP. As part of that agreement, HSS Hire will pay the buyer a total of GBP26.0 million to take on the liabilities of the loss-making operation. Also, for the 15 months that ended March 31, HSS Hire swings to a GBP130.3 million pretax loss from a GBP6.9 million profit in the 12 months ended December 30, 2023. Revenue was GBP379.0 million, up compared to GBP312.4 million. While an interim dividend of 0.187 pence per share was paid back in November last year, HSS has decided to pay no final dividend to prioritise allocation of capital to the ongoing business.

Active Energy Group PLC, down 9.1% at 0.10p, 12-month range 0.055p-0.55p. The London-based, biomass-focused renewable energy developer confirms the pre-sale of around 35% of the initial 8 megawatt capacity of its first UAE project site, ahead of the facility becoming operational. Reports "strong client interest across AI data hosting and blockchain computing applications" and expects to fully contract the site before the end of this year. "Based on current agreements, the 8 MW site is projected to deliver approximately USD3.5 million in annual revenues, at an estimated 50% gross margin," Active Energy says. "This represents around USD1.75 million of annual gross profit to the project, which the partners intend to reinvest directly into the development of subsequent phases. This reinvestment strategy provides a self-funding growth model, enabling the company to accelerate its rollout programme while maintaining financial discipline." Says phase 1 of construction is scheduled to start "shortly". In the long term, Active Energy "has a defined roadmap to deliver over 300 MW in the UAE, supported by a strategic vision to reach 1 GW of global capacity".
