----------
hVIVO PLC - London-based contract research organisation testing vaccines for infectious and respiratory diseases - Pretax loss widens to GBP7.6 million in the six months to June 30 from GBP318,000 the year prior, as revenue from contracts with customers drops to GBP16.3 million from GBP24.2 million reflecting the second-half weighting guided at the start of the year. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation loss is GBP4.5 million, stretched from GBP3.0 million a year ago. But the firm expects positive Ebitda in H2, with a low single-digit adjusted loss for the full year. Weighted contracted order book more than doubles to GBP65 million as at June 30 from GBP30 million at the end of 2025. Around 75% of revenue is generated from repeat customers, reflecting "the visibility and quality of hVIVO's revenue base", the firm says. Expects H2 2026 revenue to be around double that reported in H1, showing strong momentum, and sees FY26 revenue of around GBP47m due to project deferrals into 2027 and 2028. No dividend is declared. "The first half of 2026 saw a clear improvement in commercial momentum. With proposal volumes ramping up and our contracted orderbook more than doubling since the start of the year, the growing demand across our integrated early clinical development platform is very evident," says Chief Executive Yamin Khan. In addition, hVIVO announces that Stephen Pinkerton, its chief financial officer, is to retire following ten years with the firm. He will stay with the company until the end of September with Richard Cotton, currently a non-executive director, to serve as interim CFO while a successor is appointed. hVIVO says it is in the "final stages" of its process to select a new CFO.

Springfield Properties PLC - Morayshire-based housebuilder in Scotland - Posts pretax profit of GBP11.9 million in the financial year ended May 31, down 39% from GBP19.0 million the year prior, on revenue of GBP243.7 million, down 13% from GBP280.6 million.

Despite the lower profit, Springfield hikes the total dividend by 50% to 3.0p per share from 2.0p. It also recently said it intends to start a share buyback programme. "The group delivered a strong performance in 2026, notwithstanding the exceptional comparative period in 2025 that benefited from significant land sales undertaken as part of the group's debt reduction strategy," the firm explains. Looking to the current year, Springfield says its private housing reservation rate has been steady, and it has continued to secure new contracts on favourable terms in affordable housing. "We are disappointed that the market continues to undervalue housebuilders, with Springfield's share price remaining materially disconnected from our view of the underlying value of the business, reflecting neither the strength of our balance sheet, the quality of our land holdings or the opportunities available to us in the North of Scotland. We therefore see the buyback as a compelling opportunity to create value for shareholders," it adds.
