Trading Update and Tender Offer

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider for leisure, entertainment, and cultural markets, today provides a brief update on customer contracts and current trading expectations.

Trading Update

The Group is pleased to provide the following trading update for the 2025 financial year ahead of its full year results announcement planned for April 2026.

For the year 2025, the Group expects revenue to be slightly ahead of market expectations, at approximately $155 million, with cash EBITDA margins approaching 15% reflecting continued focus on operational efficiency and disciplined cost management.

Despite some softness in transaction volumes during the key summer months, this was offset by increased service revenues. With cash EBITDA expected to be in line with the prior year, the Group continues to demonstrate the resilience and efficiency of its business model.

Finally, the Group continues to maintain a strong balance sheet. Net cash at 31 December 2025 was $30 million, supported by continued cash generation.

Tender Offer

The Group has now completed its 2025 and early 2026 share repurchase programme, which represented approximately 7% of the Company's issued share capital. Through this period, the Board has continued to assess opportunities to enhance shareholder returns.

Given the strength of the Group's balance sheet, its ongoing cash generation, and the Board's assessment of the Company's current share price, the Board intends to undertake a tender offer to repurchase up to £14.5 million of the Company's shares, with a tender price expected to be £3.00 per share.

Further details of the proposed tender offer, including the timetable, terms and conditions, and the resolutions required to implement it, will be communicated to shareholders in due course.

Outlook

Further to the commercial update provided on 5 January 2026, the Group confirms that service of the solution to the major customer has continued into 2026, and the parties are in the final stages of concluding the updated commercial arrangements, with documentation expected to be completed shortly.

In addition, the other major customer referenced in that update has now confirmed that it will not renew its agreement for the same software solution beyond its contractual expiry on 31 January 2026, as previously anticipated. 

Despite recent changes to services provided to certain key customers and a more challenging revenue environment through 2025, the Group entered 2026 with strong commercial momentum. This was the result of increased strategic focus and improved execution during the prior year, without which, the revenue impact in 2026 would have been more pronounced.

In parallel, management has taken decisive and timely action to align its cost base with current market condition and long-term strategic priorities. Together, these actions have enhanced the resilience of the business and will materially support Cash EBITDA performance, ensuring the Group remains well positioned to support customers and pursue targeted investment for growth.

The Group currently expects its 2026 outturn to be in line with current market expectations.
