Aurrigo International plc
("Aurrigo" or the "Company")
AGM Statement and Intended Board Change
Aurrigo International plc (AIM: AURR), a leading international provider of transport technology solutions, provides the following update in advance of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to be held at 10:00 a.m. today.
AGM Statement
The Company has made a solid start to 2025 across both the Autonomous and Automotive divisions.
In May, Aurrigo entered into a three-year strategic partnership agreement with Swissport International AG ("Swissport"), opening up a significant opportunity with the world's largest provider of airport ground services and cargo handling.
The Company expects that its Auto-Cargo vehicle, developed in conjunction with UPS, will be delivered to East Midlands Airport early in H2, where it will undergo initial testing. The Company continues to make good progress with other commercial and strategic aviation partners. Projects at Schiphol, Singapore Changi and Cincinnati continue as planned and further updates will be provided when available.
Aurrigo remains well capitalised following the fundraise in December 2024 and January 2025, with proceeds supporting the ongoing refinement of its autonomous vehicle portfolio in conjunction with feedback from existing partners ahead of future scale up.
The market in which the Company operates remains supportive, as aviation industry players increasingly recognise the opportunity for autonomous solutions to improve efficiency as passenger volumes increase, while reducing carbon emissions. Aurrigo's solutions have been designed to improve both passenger and cargo airside operations and its products are already being trialled and used by some of the largest players in the aviation industry.
The Company's Automotive division is performing in line with Board expectations and traditional seasonality. Despite volatility in the wider automotive market, the Company has a strong forward orderbook, underpinning confidence for the full year performance of the division.
As previously announced, revenues will be weighted to the second half, as expected, particularly given timing of ongoing Autonomous tender processes. Whilst the outturn will be somewhat dependent on the timings and outcomes of these tender processes, results for the full year are currently expected to be in line with the Board's expectations.
Intended Board Change
Peter Whiting, Independent Non-Executive Director, has informed the Board of his intention not
to stand for re-election at the 2026 AGM. He will continue to serve as a director over the coming
year, including offering himself for re-election at today's 2025 AGM, to support effective succession planning and Board continuity.
Andrew Cornish, Chairman of Aurrigo, commented: "The Company has made good progress so far this year and we have continued to add to our blue-chip partner roster with the agreement signed with Swissport in May. As trials continue with partners around the world, understanding of what our technology is capable of and its benefits are being demonstrated to a large, engaged audience. With products capable of improving the airside operations for the world's largest passenger baggage and cargo handlers, we look ahead with confidence.
"Our continued progress is thanks to the strength of the Aurrigo team, and we were thrilled to see this recognised in the recent award of an MBE to our CEO, David Keene, in the King's Birthday Honours for his contribution to the decarbonisation of airports. It's a brilliant reflection of the dedication and innovation that underpins the work we are doing and its impact."
