AIM - LOSERS

Mission Group PLC, down 16% at 15.50p, 12-month range 32.50p-15.50p. Full-year revenue and profit come in below market expectations of revenue of GBP73.0 million and operating profit of GBP8.5 million after project delays push some completions into 2026, though underlying trading remains resilient. The group expects financial 2025 revenue of GBP68.0 million and headline operating profit of GBP5.1 million, reflecting delays to certain large projects, particularly within its integrated consumer marketing agencies. Mission CEO John Carey says: "We have not been immune from the impact of uncertainty on Client decision-making, which impacted our financial 2025 result. But I am encouraged by the resilience of our underlying performance and the outcomes of our strategy review as we look into 2026 and beyond." Net bank debt improves to GBP9.0 million at December 31, down from GBP9.5 million a year earlier, with total debt reduced to GBP10.3 million following strong cash conversion. Following the appointment of a new chief executive in September, the board undertakes a strategic review and begins consolidating its B2C and B2B advertising agencies, alongside its sports marketing and events businesses. The group expects annualised cost savings of GBP1.5 million to GBP2.0 million from the reorganisation, supported by continued investment in artificial intelligence.

Shoe Zone PLC, down 15% at 57.50p, 12-month range 115.00p-57.50p. Reports sharply lower full-year earnings and withholds its dividend. The footwear retailer posts pretax profit of GBP3.3 million for the year, down from GBP10.1 million a year earlier, as revenue falls to GBP149.1 million from GBP161.3 million. Earnings per share decline to 4.08 pence from 16.04 pence. Shoe Zone pays no dividend for the year, compared with a 2.5 pence per share payout previously. The company says trading conditions remain challenging, citing macroeconomic pressures and higher wage costs.
