Outlook:

David Whelan, CEO of ENGAGE XR, said: The first half of 2025 has been a challenging transition period as we shift our focus toward education-related revenues. This has been influenced by a broader market slowdown in enterprise spending on immersive technology and a significant decline in demand from the tech sector, where we previously supported large-scale onboarding initiatives. 

That said, I am confident that our renewed focus on the education sector, the very foundation on which this company was built positions us far more strongly for long term growth and stability.

First Half Challenges 

The first half of 2025 has been a challenging period for the wider technology sector, with widespread layoffs across major corporations impacting demand for training and onboarding solutions as hiring activity slowed.

This has been particularly evident in the enterprise projects we previously completed with major consultancy firms such as Accenture, KPMG, and PwC. Like many in the industry, they have experienced significant workforce reductions due to the rise of AI. While this shift contributed to a revenue decline in the first half of the year predominantly from reduced numbers of one off consultancy projects and lower enterprise license revenue, we have been actively working to replace this revenue stream with stronger, repeatable revenue within the education sector. This transition, if completed successfully, should position us on a more sustainable and growth oriented path as this market has proven more resilient, with clients showing stronger growth and renewal rates compared to the enterprise sector. 

Educational leaders such as Optima ED and Inspired Education have achieved strong growth utilising ENGAGE software, each delivering truly engaging learning experiences both in the classroom and remotely. 

AI Teacher 

We are now helping to shape the future of education with our partners through the AI Teacher Program a groundbreaking initiative that gives students 24/7 access to domain-level experts. Powered by ENGAGE's advanced AI training tools, these AI Teachers can design lesson plans, assess student performance, and provide real-time progress reports to educators. 

AI Teachers are not designed to replace educators but to empower them. By automating repetitive, lecture style teaching, educators gain more time to focus on high value one on one interactions with students, guiding those who need extra support while allowing advanced learners to progress at their own pace. 

The video you see here is an early beta prototype, created in under an hour using our proprietary ENGAGE AI integration tools, seamlessly connected with OpenAI and Meta AI. This is just the beginning of how ENGAGE is redefining what's possible in education and expect to see a wider roll out of this tool for all our education clients later this year as we exit our private client testing phase.

Middle East 

We currently have two major educational projects underway in the Middle East, both of which are now moving forward after experiencing long delays over the past 12 months. 

The first project, in partnership with PwC Middle East, announced in 2024, is about to welcome its first enterprise students, who will begin experiencing remote education in the hospitality sector within weeks. Following the initial evaluation phase, we anticipate a broader rollout most likely in FY26. 

The second large-scale initiative has just launched with a university pilot program, where the first cohort of students is now testing immersive technology for media studies. This project is being developed in collaboration with the state education board, ENGAGE, and professors from Stanford University, ensuring world-class expertise and rigorous user acceptance testing. A wider rollout is scheduled for early next year. 

Outlook

The first half of 2025 has been a challenging transition period as we continue to shift our focus toward education-related revenues. This has been influenced by a broader market slowdown in enterprise spending on immersive technology and a significant decline in demand from the tech sector, where we previously supported large-scale onboarding initiatives. 

The ENGAGE board is cognisant of the Company's current cash runway. Having already taken steps to reduce the Company's cash burn, the ENGAGE board is very focused on the importance of cash conservation so as to ensure the Company is able to capture its future growth opportunity. In addition, the board is continually evaluating all options available to it to enable the Company to deliver value to shareholders.

Despite the challenges the business has faced in H1, the Board remains confident in meeting expectations for the current financial year. Looking further ahead, the Board is confident that our continued focus on the education sector, the very foundation on which this company was built, positions us strongly for long term growth and stability.

Financial Review

Revenue for H1 2025 is down 46% on the prior half year to €1.2m (H1 2024: €2.2m), due to delayed contract closures (expected in late 2025) and reduced one-off enterprise activity.

ENGAGE revenue from Education customers fell in the period to €0.7 million (H1 2024: €1.0m) while ENGAGE revenue from Enterprise fell in the period to €0.3 million (H1 2024: €0.7m)

ENGAGE revenue from Content and Events fell to €0.1m (H1 2024: €0.4m) in line with management expectations as the Group's focus was centred on renewing license revenue from Enterprise and Education customers.

EBITDA loss was €1.6m (H1 2024: loss of €1.8m). The primary cost driver for the EBITDA loss is salary and associated costs, currently approximately €0.2m per month, following cost savings put in place in late Q2 2025.

Gross margin in H1 2025 up 2% to 91% (H1 2024: 89%), due to one-off hardware purchases for a key customer in 2024 not recurring in 2025.

Loss before tax was €1.6m, in line with management expectations, compared to a loss in the prior year of €1.8m.

The combination of operating cashflows and capital expenditure in H1 2024 were €1.4m compared to €2.3m in H1 2024. The cash balance at 30 June 2024 was €2.1m (30 June 2024: €5.5m). The management team are focused on actively managing the cash position of the Group, through cost control, as the Group aims to deliver cash flow profitability in the future.

Notes to the Interim Report

1. Basis of Preparation

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union ("IFRS") and expected to be effective at the year-end of 31 December 2025.

The accounting policies are unchanged from the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The interim financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024, prepared in accordance with IFRS, have been filed with the Companies Registration Office. The Auditors' Report on these accounts was unqualified.

The consolidated interim financial statements are for the 6 months to 30 June 2025.

The interim consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS's as adopted by the European Union.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company

No new standards or amendments have been adopted for the first time in these financial statements.

3. Share Based Payments

Share-based payment schemes with employees

Following the successful completion of the equity placing in H1 2023, the Remuneration Committee evaluated appropriate solutions to put in place suitable longer-term incentives aimed at aligning the interests of employees and shareholders. The option grant also assists with the retention and motivation of key employees of the Company as the Company looks to deliver against the strategic opportunity outlined at the time of the placing. The Options will provide the potential for rewards only if shareholders benefit from sustained growth in shareholder value over the coming years.

New Scheme

Under this new option grant there were no (2024: 2,700,000) employee options granted during 2025 at an exercise price of €0.046 per share. The Options were granted at a price of GBP£0.04 each (€0.046) and cannot be exercised for at least three years from the date of grant (other than on a change of control).

The Options have performance criteria linked to the future share price performance of the Company with:

- One third of the Options being capable of exercise if the five day volume-weighted average price preceding the date of such exercise was 12 pence or higher; and

- One third of the Options being capable of exercise if the five day volume-weighted average price preceding the date of such exercise was 16 pence or higher; and

- One third of the Options being capable of exercise if the five day volume-weighted average price preceding the date of such exercise was 20 pence or higher.

The Options will vest in full on a change of control provided a minimum price threshold of 10 pence per share is met. Options expire at the end of a period of 7 years from the Grant Date or on the date on which the option holder ceases to be an employee.

The movement in employee share options under the new option grant and weighted average exercise prices are as follows for the reporting periods presented:

Old Scheme

There were no employee options granted under the old scheme during H1 2025 (H1 2024: Nil). Options expire at the end of a period of 7 years from the Grant Date or on the date on which the option holder ceases to be an employee.

Share-based payment expense with Directors

There were no share options granted during H1 2025 (H1 2024: Nil) to Directors.

The movement in employee share options and weighted average exercise prices are as follows for the reporting periods presented:
