(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Thursday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
TruFin PLC - London-based holding company of three growth-focused technology businesses operating in early payment provision, invoice finance and mobile games publishing - Expects to report full-year profit before tax ahead of previous guidance of GBP7.0 million. Now sees pretax profit greater than GBP7.4 million, multiplying from GBP900,000 in 2024. Guides revenue of approximately GBP63.0 million, up from GBP55.0 million a year earlier, and anticipates adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in excess of GBP11.8 million, ahead of GBP7.6 million. Says performance during the year was driven by UK games publisher Playstack Ltd. "2024 was hard to beat - but we did so convincingly. With the foundations firmly in place, we will maintain our disciplined approach to capital allocation and work hard to deliver for shareholders in 2026 and beyond," says Chief Executive James van den Bergh.

Likewise Group PLC - Birmingham, England-based floor coverings distributor - Reports total revenue for 2025 of GBP163.8 million, up 8.6% from 2024. Notes sales revenue in Likewise Floors advanced 13%, and says it is "well on target" to achieve its GBP200 million objective for sales revenue. Adds it is considering "various investment options" to materially exceed that figure. Notes it is on track to achieve current market expectations of pretax profit for 2025, and expects further meaningful growth in 2026.

Mpac Group PLC - Tadcaster, North Yorkshire-based high-speed packaging and automation solutions firm - Expects to report underlying pretax profit for 2025 in line with market expectations of GBP13.5 million. This is up 29% from GBP10.5 million in 2024. Revenue is anticipated at around GBP170 million, up approximately 39% from GBP122.4 million. Notes pretax profit improved "substantially" in the second half of the year following actions undertaken in the first half. Closes the year with an order book of around GBP92.0 million, up slightly from GBP91.7 million at June 30. Says deferrals of expected orders in the fourth quarter led to lower customer deposits and higher net debt, excluding leases of GBP47.7 million. But expects net debt to fall in 2026 "given the make-up of the order book and opportunity pipeline, combined with an ongoing focus on cost management and cash collection." Says it is well positioned to deliver on market expectations for the current year and beyond. "The group has delivered full year performance in line with market expectations, against the backdrop of macro-economic uncertainty, which led to customers deferring expenditure. We took decisive actions to reduce operating costs in the light of these near-term challenges," says CEO Adam Holland.

Guides full-year revenue of around GBP3.9 million, against a market consensus GBP4.1 million. "The second half of 2025 was both an exciting and demanding period for the publishing industry. We executed our plan to explore highly focused new market sectors-specifically reality TV, soaps, and the UK royal family-as part of what we call our 'verticals strategy', while also strengthening our on‑platform revenue generation," says CEO James Carter.

"I am pleased to report substantial revenue growth in the first six months of the financial year, and the outlook for the rest of FY26 and beyond remains positive," says Executive Chair Chris Hand.
