Dr Jelena Arsic van Os, CEO Accsys Technologies PLC said:

"Accsys has delivered an excellent first half, with strong global Accoya sales volume growth and a significant improvement in profitability against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Our Accoya USA joint venture is showing rapid growth and positive momentum, demonstrating the strength of our technology, brand, and customer relationships in the sizeable North American market.

Our results reflect disciplined execution with a clear commercial focus. We remain firmly on track with Phase 1 of our FOCUS growth strategy, driving higher utilisation of our existing assets, delivering sustainable margin progression and deleveraging the balance sheet. The Group enters the second half from a position of strength and confidence in delivering on our targets."

Operational and Financial Overview

· 22% growth in total Accoya sales volumes as we continue to gain market share, despite continued challenging macroeconomic conditions

o Significant Accoya growth across all regions: 61% growth in North America, 14% growth UK&I, 22% in Rest of Europe and 28% for Rest of World

o 6% growth in Accoya for Tricoya.

· Group revenues increased by 5% driven by a strong trading performance across all regions

o Group revenues increased by 23% on a like-for-like basis¹ when excluding prior period North American sales volumes, which have now transferred to the JV

· Significant improvement in profitability with 160% increase in adjusted EBITDA to €10.4m driven in particular by:

o Robust Accoya product demand with increase in average selling price;

o Continued cost control discipline with €2.3m benefit from FY24 business transformation programme retained

o €4.0m improvement in JV EBITDA to a €0.3m loss;

o €2.1m in licence fees and royalties from the JV (H1 FY25: €0.5m)

· Substantial increase in adjusted EBITDA margin at 11.6% (H1 FY25: 5.4%) close to our phase 1 FOCUS target of 12%

· Excellent performance from Accoya USA JV:

o 61% growth in North America sales volumes driven by strong Accoya demand with sales accelerating throughout the period;

o The JV is close to break-even for H1 with a small EBITDA loss of €0.3m as operations continue to scale up;

o Distribution coverage strengthened by the addition of three new North American distributors;

o With effect from 14 October 2025 a 10% tariff has been introduced on imported lumber into the USA. Management have proactively taken actions to manage the impact and continue to monitor developments

· Solid progress on deleveraging the balance sheet with reduction in net debt to

€39.8m (as at 31 March 2025: €42.6m) and an improvement in our leverage ratio from 2.5x to 2.1x as at 30 September 2025

o Operating cash flow of €8.0m (H1 FY25: €8.7m) reflecting increased inventory levels to support growth with operating cash flow conversion of 75% in line with our FOCUS Phase I target

o In October 2025 Accsys agreed new debt financing facilities of €55m, provided on an equal basis by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and HSBC UK Bank PLC. The refinancing replaces the previous ABN AMRO facility, providing additional liquidity for the Group and strengthening the Group's financial position on improved financial terms.

¹ The comparative period, H1 FY25, included 3,802m³ of Accoya Group sales to North America. Since the start-up of Accoya USA all North America sales are served by the JV.

Current Trading & Outlook

Accsys has delivered a strong performance in H1 FY26 despite the ongoing challenging macroeconomic conditions. We are growing global market share and trading remains robust, supported by sustained global demand for our premium, differentiated products.  Sales are accelerating in North America and, notwithstanding the impact of the recently announced tariffs, we expect the JV to be EBITDA positive for the financial year.

Our recent successful debt refinancing with ABN AMRO and HSBC strengthens our capital structure, enhances financial flexibility and further de-risks our profile.

The Board remains confident that the continued implementation of our FOCUS strategy will deliver further growth and profitability improvement for the year ending 31 March 2026. The Board expects full year adjusted EBITDA to be in line with its expectations and to show further progress towards its strategic targets.

CEO Review

Accsys delivered an excellent first half, executing with focus and discipline and gaining market share with our world-leading products. We are advancing key strategic priorities and building clear momentum towards our FOCUS targets.

It has been a period of continued positive progress for Accsys. The commitment and resilience of our team has been instrumental in achieving these results, and I am deeply appreciative of their dedication. With this momentum we are entering H2 from a position of strength.

We are proud to have achieved a significant improvement in profitability with a 160% year-on-year increase in adjusted EBITDA to €10.4m. This was driven by robust Accoya product demand, resilient premium pricing, improved JV profitability and increased license fees & royalties. Adjusted EBITDA margin has increased to 11.6%, from 5.4% in the prior period, bringing us close to our Phase I FOCUS target of 12%.

Group revenues increased by 23% on a like-for-like basis¹ with the prior period, driven by strong trading across all regions. We have quickly been able to fill the gap created by the transition of North America sales from the Group to the JV.

The JV has had a standout performance in the period. Sales growth accelerated throughout H1 and we are close to break-even, with a small EBITDA loss of €0.3m (€4.3m H1 FY25) as operations continue to scale up.

We are pleased to have made solid progress on deleveraging the balance sheet, a key strategic priority for the company. Net debt has decreased by €2.8m since 31 March 2025, driven by improved operating cash flow, and we have improved our leverage ratio from 2.5x to 2.1x as at 30 September 2025. During the period, we achieved operating cash flow of €8.0m and cash flow conversion of 75% in line with our FOCUS strategy target. Furthermore, in October 2025, we successfully negotiated new improved terms for financing our debt with ABN AMRO and HSBC. This refinancing strengthens our capital structure and further de-risks our profile, positioning us to execute our strategy with greater confidence.

¹ The comparative period, H1 FY25, included 3,802m³ of Accoya Group sales to North America. Since the start-up of Accoya USA all North America sales are served by the JV.

Product and sales review

Global demand for Accoya remains strong, with a 22% year-on-year increase in total Accoya sales volumes at 38,618m³. With continued challenging conditions in the global construction industry, H1 sales volumes grew well ahead of the broader building materials market. 

We are excited to see Accoya volumes grow significantly in all of our geographic regions.

Sales volumes

Sales volume by end market	H1 FY26 (m³)	H1 FY25 (m³)	Change %
UK & Ireland	8,676	7,622	13.8%
Rest of Europe	8,892	7,274	22.2%
Rest of World	3,453	2,692	28.3%
Total	21,021	17,588
Accoya for Tricoya	9,554	8,982	6.4%
Group Total	30,575	26,570
North America	8,043	4,983	61.4%
Total	38,618	31,553	22.4%

North American sales accelerated throughout the period, with volumes up a fantastic 61% year-on-year, predominantly driven by strong growth with existing distributors and enhanced product availability. We have added three additional distributors in the period, including our first Mexican direct distributor and expect to see these new channels contribute strongly in H2. Furthermore, increased CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) regulation on the import of hardwoods ipê and cumaru from Brazil has had a positive benefit for Accoya in the USA as it has limited the supply of these woods.

In Europe, Accoya continues to gain share in our largest and most established market, the UK&I. This can be attributed to customers feeling more confident in supply availability. In mainland Europe, after some challenging periods, we saw good growth in Germany, driven primarily by strong demand in the outdoor living market, despite continued market headwinds. European growth was also supported by a good performance in Benelux, where we had positive momentum in Belgium after onboarding a recent distributor. The French market was slower, and we are looking to counter prevailing market headwinds through bolstering our presence in the country.

We maintained a high average selling price, with price increases implemented during the reporting period in the US and UK, demonstrating our continued premium pricing power. We continue to monitor US tariff developments and have taken proactive steps to manage the impact of the 10% tariff on lumber imports from 14th October.

We had a positive impact from product mix with a higher proportion of sales of Accoya and Accoya Color. Accoya for Tricoya, grew at a more moderate pace, with customer demand front ended in the reporting period.

Operations

Our group sites, Arnhem (Netherlands) and Barry (UK), are performing well. In response to strong global demand for Accoya Color, we have more than doubled capacity at our Barry production facility, adding an additional shift, expanding our storage capacity on site and outsourcing additional drying. At Arnhem, ahead of our annual maintenance break in October this year, we have been more proactive in building the optimal stock levels to support Q3 sales.

As our business scales, we remain committed to responsible and sustainable growth. Today, we are proud to launch our sustainability plan, 'Accsys Cares'. This plan sets out how we will deliver long term value for all our stakeholders. We are pleased to include our first decarbonisation targets, further enhancing the already strong sustainability credentials of our product and our business.

Outlook

Our recent successful debt refinancing with ABN AMRO and HSBC strengthens our capital structure, enhances financial flexibility and further de-risks our profile.

CFO Review

Statement of comprehensive income

Total Accoya sales volumes, including sales volumes of the JV, increased by 22% to 38,618m³ (H1 FY25: 31,553m³). Group sales volumes increased by 1% to 30,575m³ (H1 FY25: 30,372m³). North American sales previously sold by the Group in H1 FY25 wood revenue, are now being sold by the JV, which is equity accounted for in the financial statements.  Excluding the 3,802m³ of Group sales to North America in H1 FY25, prior to the commercial start-up of the JV, Group sales volumes have increased by 15%.

Group revenue for the period increased by €3.9m to €76.1m (H1 FY25: €72.2m). Accoya revenue increased by 3.8% (€2.5m) to €68.1m, primarily due to the increased demand for Accoya Color. Royalties and licence fee revenue increased by €1.6m following the successful completion of the final Kingsport plant performance test, and increased royalties revenue as the plant is now in commercial operation. Tricoya panel revenue decreased by €0.3m to €1.9m (H1 FY25: €2.2m), representing Accsys purchasing and selling of Tricoya panels produced by our Accoya for Tricoya customers.   Other revenue, which predominantly relates to the sale of acetic acid by-product into the acetyls market, was in line with the previous period at €3.9m (H1 FY25: €4.0m).

Cost of sales increased by €2.7m to €52.8m (H1 FY25: €50.1m). Higher costs driven by higher sales volumes, which were offset by lower acetic anhydride costs, with raw wood costs remaining in line with the previous period. Acetyls costs remain in line with the prior period, as increased usage efficiencies offset against greater production volumes.

Gross profit of €23.2m was €1.0m higher than the prior period (H1 FY25: €22.2m) with the gross profit margin 20bps lower at 30.5%. This reduction in gross margin was due to the transfer of sales volumes to the JV in H1 FY25, as North American sales command a higher average sales price than other regions. The gross margin remains above our strategy target of 30%. 

Underlying other operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortisation) decreased from €13.8m to €12.5m. This is primarily due to year-on-year savings resulting from the closure of the Hull plant.  The depreciation and amortisation expense for the period was €4.3m compared to €4.6m in the prior period.  

Underlying net finance expenses increased by €0.4m to €3.4m as a result of a reduced net debt position, currency rate fluctuations and the revaluation of the embedded derivative within the convertible loan notes.

There are no exceptional items in the period, compared to the €20.8m recognised within H1 FY25 resulting from the decision to discontinue the Tricoya plant in Hull.

The Group's share of the Accoya USA JV's (Accoya USA LLC) net loss, which is accounted for using the equity method, decreased by €1.7m to €4.4m (H1 FY25: net loss €6.1m) as the JV continues to ramp up after it commenced commercial operations in September 2024. The Group's share of the JV's EBITDA was a loss of €0.3m, an improvement of €4.0m, compared to a loss of €4.3m for the prior period.  

Underlying EBITDA, excluding the share of the loss from the JV and exceptional costs, increased by 28.9% from €8.3m to €10.7m, a margin of 14.1% showing the continuing strengthening of the underlying profitability of the Group. Excluding the profit associated with the 3,802m³ of sales made by the Group into the North American market in H1 FY25, and costs associated with Hull, underlying EBITDA increased by €3.6m from €7.1m to €10.7m, an increase of 50.7%. Adjusted EBITDA increased significantly to €10.4m compared to €4.0m in the prior period. Accordingly, the adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 620bps from 5.4% to 11.6%.

The underlying loss before tax decreased significantly to €1.4m (H1 FY25: loss of €5.4m). After considering exceptional items (including the impairment loss and restructuring cost), the loss before tax amounted to €1.4m (H1 FY25: €26.2m) there being no exceptional items in H1 FY26.  

There is no tax charge in the period, as a result of receiving a tax refund of €0.7m in relation to previous periods, that offsets the expected charge for the year to date. There was a tax charge of €1.3m in the prior period.   

The underlying loss per share decreased to €0.01 per share (H1 FY25: loss of €0.03 per share). A statutory loss per share was recognised of €0.01 per share (H1 FY25: loss of €0.12 per share). 

Cash flow 

Net cash flows from operating activities decreased slightly to €8.0m (H1 FY25: €8.7m). The higher underlying EBITDA during the period was offset by increased inventory levels to support higher levels of demand, ensuring improved customer availability and to build up finished goods ahead of the planned annual maintenance stop in the Arnhem plant in October 2025. Operating cash flow conversion rate was 75% (H1 FY25: 105%) in line with our FOCUS Phase 1 target. The net working capital cash outflow amounted to €4.2m compared to a cash inflow of €0.1m in H1 FY25.  

Plant and machinery additions of €2.7m (H1 FY25: €0.6m) consisted primarily of expansionary growth capital expenditure in the Arnhem plant to provide further acetyls storage, thereby increasing future production efficiency, and improvements in the stacker hall.  

Free cash flow (net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditure) decreased to €5.1m compared to €8.1m in H1 FY25 mainly due to the increase in working capital and higher capital expenditure.

Financial position 

At 30 September 2025, the Group held cash of €17.2m, the same as at the year-ended 31 March 2025; an €8.8m decrease since the previous half year results. Major cash outflow items this reporting period were €3.4m of loan repayments made, capital expenditure spend of €2.9m and interest payments of €1.2m.  

Net debt has reduced by €0.4m to €39.8m (H1 FY25: €40.2m) as the cash generated from operating activities was offset by a €4.2m increase in working capital, €2.9m spent on capital expenditure and interest of €1.2m.  The leverage ratio (net debt to underlying EBITDA) improved to 2.1x compared to 2.8x at the prior period and 2.5x at 31 March 2025.  Excluding the convertible loan notes, the leverage ratio was 0.8x. The deleveraging of the balance sheet is in line with our FOCUS strategy target.

On 27 October 2025, the Group successfully completed new debt financing facilities of €55m, provided on an equal basis by ABN AMRO Bank N.V and HSBC UK Bank PLC. The facilities comprise of €20m term loan and a €35m revolving credit facility and are committed for a three-year term, maturing in October 2028. The facilities include an option, at the Banks' discretion, to extend for a further year to October 2029.

Going concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and at least for the 12 months from the date these financial statements are approved (the 'going concern period'). As part of the Group's going concern review, the Directors have assessed the Group's trading forecasts, working capital and liquidity requirements, and bank facility covenant compliance for the going concern period under a base case scenario and a reverse stress test scenario.  For more information on this matter, please see note 1 to the financial statements below.

Notes to the financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2025

1. Accounting policies

General Information

The principal activity of the Group is the production and sale of Accoya solid wood and exploitation of technology for the production and sale of Accoya wood. Manufactured through the Group's proprietary acetylation processes, Accoya wood exhibits superior dimensional stability and durability compared with alternative natural, treated and modified woods as well as more resource intensive man-made materials.

The Company is a public limited company, which is listed on AIM in the United Kingdom and Euronext in the Netherlands, and is domiciled in the United Kingdom. The registered office is 4^th Floor, 3 Moorgate Place, London EC2R 6EA.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were approved on 24 November 2025.

Basis of accounting

The Group's condensed consolidated financial statements in these interim results have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union and UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the AIM Rules for Companies and the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act.

The financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2025 and the six months ended 30 September 2024 is unaudited. The comparative financial information for the full year ended 31 March 2025 does not constitute the Group's statutory financial statements for that period although it has been derived from the statutory financial statements for the year then ended. A copy of those statutory financial statements has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and which were approved by the Board of Directors on 23 June 2025. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. This financial information is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2025, which has been prepared in accordance with both International Accounting Standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and International Financial Reporting Standards adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 as it applies in the European Union.

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Accounting policies

No new accounting standards, amendments or interpretations have been adopted in the period which have any impact on these condensed financial statements or are expected to affect the Group's annual report for the year ended 31 March 2026. The accounting policies applied for preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, as described in those financial statements.

Going concern

The cash flow forecasts used for the going concern assessment represent the Directors' best estimate of trading performance and cost implications in the market based on current agreements, market experience and consumer demand expectations. These forecasts indicate that, in order to continue as a going concern, the Group is dependent on achieving a certain level of performance relating to the production and sale of Accoya, and the management of its working capital.

The Directors' have also considered the possible quantum and timing of funding required to fund Accoya USA's operations. Accsys has a contractual obligation to fund its 60% share of Accoya USA LLC on a pro rata basis with its joint venture partner (Eastman Chemical Company). This funding has been considered in both scenarios.

The Group is also dependent on the Group's financial resources including its existing cash position, banking and finance facilities (see note 12 for details).

Going concern (continued)

The Directors considered a reverse stress test to determine the decrease in Accoya sales volume from both the Arnhem plant and Kingsport required to breach Group banking covenants or reduce liquidity levels below a sustainable amount. The Directors do not expect the reverse stress test scenario to materialise, but should it unfold, the Group has several mitigating actions it can implement to manage its going concern risk, such as deferring discretionary capital expenditure and implementing further cost reductions to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity and covenant headroom during the going concern period. The impact of the reverse stress test required a doubling of the planned funding commitment to Accoya USA LLC as a result of a 12% reduction in its sales volumes, and a decrease of approximately 4% on Group sales volume compared to an equivalent prior year period, or a decrease of approximately 16% compared to the equivalent base scenario period was required to reach the first covenant breach point.

The Directors believe that while some uncertainty always inherently remains in achieving the forecasts, in particular in relation to market conditions outside of the Group's control, after carefully considering all the factors explained in this statement, there is sufficient liquidity and covenant headroom such that there is no material uncertainty with respect to going concern and have prepared the financial statements on this basis.

2. Segmental reporting

The Group's business is the manufacturing of and development, commercialisation and licensing of the associated proprietary technology for the manufacture of Accoya wood, Tricoya wood elements and related acetylation technologies. Segmental reporting is divided between corporate activities and activities directly attributable to Accoya (30 September 2024, Accoya, Tricoya, Corporate and R&D). In the prior year, following the voluntary liquidation of Tricoya UK Limited in December 2024, the Group changed its basis of segmental reporting.

Following the change in way the business is viewed, the prior year 6 month comparatives have been restated to reflect this change. The segmental reporting change was already implemented within the year ended 31 March 2025 results.

The standard rate of corporation tax applied to the UK reported profit is 25%. Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.

On 1 July 2025, the UK and Netherlands tax authorities agreed in principle for the Group to split Accoya segment profits equally between the two countries. The agreement covers FY17 to FY25. The agreement of the UK tax authorities is contingent upon the filing of all relevant tax returns, and other ancillary reporting, in line with the agreement. If such filings are not approved by the deadline of 31 January 2026, then the agreement will be revoked. As a result of this uncertainty, no adjustments to reflect the outcome of the conclusion of the agreement have been made.

ABN AMRO Debt Facilities (''ABN'')

The facilities agreement with ABN Amro compromise a

- €29.6m remaining Term Loan facility and,

- €22.5m Revolving Credit Facility ('RCF').

- The facilities' maturity date is 30 September 2027.

- The Term Loan has quarterly capital repayments of €1.125m.

- Term loan interest varies between 4.34% and 5.34%.

- RCF interest rate varies between 3.0% and 4.0% above EURIBOR.

Approximately €17.2m of the RCF has been utilised to provide a letter of credit to FHB in support of the Accoya USA JV funding arrangements, and the remaining €5.3m was undrawn at 30 September 2025.

The facilities are secured against the assets of the Group which are 100% owned by the Company and include covenants for net leverage and interest cover which are based upon the results and assets which are 100% owned by the Company and minimum liquidity covenants.

After the period ended 30 September 2025, the Group successfully refinanced their ABN AMRO Debt Facilities, see note 14 for further details.

First Horizon Bank facility:

In March 2022 the Company's joint venture, Accoya USA agreed an eight-year $70 million loan from First Horizon Bank ('FHB') of Tennessee, USA in respect of the construction and operation of the Accoya USA plant. FHB are also providing a further $15 million revolving line of credit to be utilised to fund plant commissioning costs and working capital. The FHB term loan is secured on the assets of Accoya USA and is supported by Accoya USA's shareholders, including $50 million through a limited guarantee provided on a pro-rata basis, with Accsys' 60% share representing $30 million. The interest rate varies between 1.3% to 2.1% over USD LIBOR. Principal repayments commence in January 2026 and are calculated on a ten-year amortisation period. Accoya USA is equity accounted for in these financial statements; therefore, this Borrowing is not included in the Group's borrowings.

To support Accsys' limited guarantee, Accsys provided a $20 million (€17.1m) Letter of Credit ('LC') to FHB. The LC is issued by ABN Amro, utilising part of the revolving credit facility.

Convertible loan notes with embedded derivative (''CLN with ED''):

In the November 2023 capital raise, new unsecured, non-transferable convertible loan notes were issued totalling €21 million (including the refinancing and discharge of the existing €10 million 2022 Convertible Loan).

The convertible loans have a six year term and carry a fixed rate coupon of 9.5%. For the first 2.5 years the coupon is rolled up and deferred and following the 2.5 year period, the deferred interest can either be converted into Ordinary shares of the Company or paid in cash over the remaining 3.5 years at the option of the holders of the convertible loan notes. Following that 2.5 year period, all further interest shall be payable in cash.

The convertible loan note holders have the right to convert the convertible loan notes they hold into Ordinary Shares of the Company at a price of 83.22 Euro cents per share, giving rise to an embedded derivative in the current year. A Monte-Carlo valuation method has been used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivative. The following assumption were used when calculating the fair value of the embedded derivative:

Metric	Value used 2025	Input level
Share price	€0.52	Level 1
Volatility rate	30.25%	Level 2
Interest rate	9.5% per annum	Level 2
Risk free rate	2.4% per annum	Level 2
Discount rate	16.5%	Level 3

Level 1 inputs:

Share price - the share price on each reporting date has been taken and used in the valuation model.

Level 2 inputs:

Volatility - the rate of volatility is based upon the historical movement in the share price.

Interest rate - the convertible loan notes have a 9.5% interest rate attached to them and this rate has been applied in the valuation.

Risk free rate - the Euribor forward rate at the valuation date has been applied within the model.

Level 3 inputs:

Discount rate - the Group uses its WACC of 16.5% as the discount rate.
