(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of earnings for London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Norman Broadbent PLC - London-based recruitment firm - Swings to pretax loss of GBP534,000 in the six months ended June 30 from GBP499,000 profit the year prior as revenue declines to GBP6.8 million from GBP7.4 million. Net fee income is GBP5.3 million, down from GBP6.0 million on-year, with [second quarter] NFI of GBP3.1 million "highlighting the success in rebuilding the pipeline following the strong finish to 2025". Chief Executive Kevin Davidson says: "We are making good progress in delivering on our strategy to scale the business and continue to invest in headcount expansion in line with our plans. We are not immune to the prevailing market environment, which remains tough, but our improving NFI momentum and current robust pipeline give us confidence in a strong NFI performance in the second half of the year."

Bow Street Group PLC - casual dining restaurant operator - Pretax loss narrows to GBP171,000 in the 26 weeks ended June 28 from GBP7.5 million the year prior, although revenue drops 4.6% to GBP14.4 million from GBP15.1 million. Sales decline reflects a reduction of the group's estate with 29 restaurants trading at the end of the period compared to 32 restaurants a year ago. Like-for-like revenue, which excludes the impact of restaurant closures and refurbishment days, increases by 5.6%, "reflecting management actions to improve the performance of the estate", it says. Trading has continued to improve since the start of the second half of the financial year, firm says, with like-for-like sales increasing by over 8.5% during the first 8 weeks of the summer months of July and August. "While macroeconomic pressures remain, the group's improving trading performance, cash resources and ongoing investment in the existing estate, position it well to deliver further progress as it heads towards the Christmas trading period," firm adds.

Fintel PLC - Huddersfield, England-based software provider to UK retail financial services sector - Pretax profit rises to GBP5.0 million in the six months ended June 30 from GBP3.2 million the year prior with revenue up to GBP38.6 million from GBP36.7 million. Organic revenue increases 2.0% driven by continued growth in Software and Data of 2.9% and organic growth in Services of 1.1%. Looking ahead, Fintel says it is "well positioned to deliver sustainable growth through increasing participation across the retail financial services ecosystem." Current trading remains in line with expectations, it adds. Hikes interim dividend to 1.35p per share from 1.30p.

Alumasc Group PLC - Northamptonshire-based supplier of building products for water and energy management - Pretax profit falls to GBP9.7 million in the financial year ended June 30 from GBP12.3 million the year prior, as revenue declines to GBP107.1 million from GBP113.4 million. Says commercial market demand remains subdued, and project delays persist. Housebuilding Products was the standout performer, growing revenue by 16% in the "weakest UK housebuilding market in almost 20 years", firm says, reflecting continued market share gains. Building Envelope held revenue at the record level set in FY25 (which had grown by 11% over FY24), despite ongoing commercial project delays driven by economic and political uncertainty. Water Management's revenue – excluding deliveries to the CLK Airport project, which boosted FY25 – declined by 4%; including CLK, overall divisional revenue declined by 16%. Leaves the dividend unchanged at 11.1p per share, including a final payout of 7.6p. Revenue in the first two months of FY27 is up 5% on-year, while order book at August 31 is up 56% on-year. Alumasc is confident of an improved FY27 margin but does not anticipate any meaningful near-term increase in UK construction activity

Sancus Lending Group Ltd - alternative financial services provider - Swings to pretax loss of GBP17.4 million in the six months ended June 30 from GBP134,000 profit on-year. Revenue increases 36% to GBP13.1 million from GBP9.7 million, new loan facilities written drop to GBP81.2 million from GBP84.4 million, including a 21% increase in UK & Irish new facilities.

No dividend is declared, plans to revisit dividend policy when the company achieves sustainable profitability and generates sustainable cash flows.
