(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of earnings for London-listed companies, issued on Thursday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Premier Miton Group PLC - Guildford, Surrey-based asset management firm - Assets under management at September 30 year-end decline 3.3% to GBP10.33 billion from GBP10.68 billion 12 months prior. Net outflows worsen to GBP618 million from GBP318 million. Pretax profit in the financial year declines 26% to GBP2.4 million from GBP3.2 million. Revenue falls 1.1% to GBP63.3 million from GBP64.0 million. "During the year, Fixed Income and Absolute Return funds saw continued inflows, with a strong new business pipeline emerging. However, US and European equity strategies faced combined outflows of GBP689 million. These outflows have continued into the new financial year negating much of the strong positive flows in other areas of the business. Whilst this presents a near-term challenge to the business, we remain confident in the long-term prospects of these funds," Chief Executive Officer Mike O'Shea commented. Premier Miton has named Christopher Williams as its next chair, replacing Robert Colthorpe. Colthorpe's nine-year term as a non-executive director, with four years as a senior independent director followed by five as chair, concludes on February 4. Premier Miton adds: "Christopher brings substantial leadership and corporate finance experience to Premier Miton. He is a financial services sector specialist and has held senior investment banking advisory positions at Goldman Sachs, Citi, Credit Suisse, Perella Weinberg Partners and Deutsche Bank. He also served as a council member of Imperial College London and chaired the board of the university's endowment fund."

Mind Gym PLC - London-based personal and business coaching service - Pretax loss in six months to September 30 widens to GBP2.5 million from GBP858,000 a year prior. Revenue falls by a third to GBP13.5 million from GBP20.2 million. "Full year revenues remain in line with expectations, with performance weighted towards H2, as we expect to benefit from an increase in licence revenues and the investments made in sales and marketing effectiveness," Mind Gym says.

In August, the firm's new investing policy was approved by shareholders, adding "fast moving and already huge markets of robotics and artificial intelligence" to its investing opportunities. "The global landscape for robotics and associated AI is expanding rapidly, and Seed intends to be a selective but active investor in companies capable of reshaping industries and delivering scalable returns," the firm says.

It reports an NAV total return of 5.9%, below the benchmark's 16% return. Its benchmark is the FTSE All-Share Index.

Chelverton UK Dividend Trust PLC - Chelmsford, England-based investor in UK small- to mid-cap companies - Net asset value per share at October 31 half-year end rises 9.0% to 145.07 pence from 133.04p at end of April. Total return improves to 13% from negative 24% a year prior. "The past six months have been a volatile period as markets tried to absorb the combined impacts of US trade tariffs, differing trajectories of interest rate cuts across western economies and the ever-evolving effect of the adoption of new technologies. From a UK perspective, a level of political uncertainty rarely seen under a government with such a large majority is adding to the general sense of unease, not helped by the long wait for this year's "Autumn" Budget. The result of this has been a collapse in both corporate and consumer confidence, delays in business investment and a historically high household savings ratio," Chelverton UK Dividend says. Dividends during the half-year are 23% lower at 5.00p per share from 6.50p.
