Key milestones during the period:

•  On 10 June 2026, the Group sold its interest in Playstack to VantageCo Limited. The disposal represented an enterprise value for Playstack of £125m on a cash-free, debt-free, normalised working capital basis. The Group received net proceeds of approximately £112.4m (net of transactions fees,  but including a £1.5m holdback relating to potential tax liabilities payable by Playstack which have not yet been finally determined). The net proceeds included the repayment by the purchaser on behalf of Playstack of a £15.6m loan to the Group.

•  In January 2026, TruFin commenced its third share buyback programme in the past 12 months, with a maximum aggregate consideration of £6.0m. In total, the Company purchased 4,486,377 shares under this programme at an average price of 123.0p. The buyback was terminated in May 2026, prior to the announcement of a proposed return of £80m to shareholders following the disposal of Playstack.

•  More than 65% of Oxygen's Early Payment ("EP") clients purchased two or more products (H1 2025: 53%).

•  Oxygen has returned £1.35m to TruFin (H1 2025: £1.0m).

•  As at the end of H1 2026, Satago had grown the number of subscriptions by 260% to 4,621 (H1 2025: 1,777).

Key milestones post period end:

•  In July 2026, the Company completed a tender offer purchasing 40,579,562 shares at a price of 140p per share, returning approximately £56.8m to shareholders.

•  In August 2026, a special dividend of approximately £22.5m (43.03p per share) was paid to shareholders.

•  TruFin has traded well in the second half to date. Aggregate gross revenues for the two months to 31 August 2026 are expected to be more than £2.1m representing 28% growth year on year. Satago is expected to be EBITDA profitable in the second half whilst Oxygen is set to continue to deliver profitable growth. The Group is trading in line with expectations. It is expected to be loss-making for the full year 2026, with a target of achieving full-year profitability in 2027.

James van den Bergh, Chief Executive Officer commented:

"Much of the first half was devoted to the sale of Playstack. The excellent outcome achieved for shareholders is a testament to the culture we have built at TruFin. We were delighted to see Mortal Shell 2 reach the No. 1 spot globally on Steam shortly after its release, and I would once again like to wish Harvey and his team every success for the future.

Since our IPO, we have held majority stakes in five businesses, each of which was loss-making when we invested. Four have since become profitable and, today, we expect the fifth to reach profitability on a full-year basis. For Satago to achieve this milestone, given the challenges the business faced as recently as two years ago, is a significant achievement, and to do so ahead of schedule is testament to Sinead's leadership and the strength of Satago's partner relationships.

As a Group, we are in a strong position. We have a healthy cash balance, majority ownership of two profitable businesses and a supportive shareholder base. Our commitment remains unchanged: to allocate your capital as efficiently as possible within the Company's capital allocation framework. The Company continues to assess bolt-on acquisitions and new platform acquisitions. The Board is also mindful that, if appropriate acquisition targets cannot be sourced and secured within a reasonable timeframe, it will consider returning further capital to shareholders.

Having joined the Board of Playstack in April 2024 and the Board of TruFin in September 2025, Sean Brennan has been instrumental in supporting Harvey as he built Playstack into the business it is today. Following the successful completion of the sale of Playstack, Sean will step down from the TruFin Board today. On behalf of everyone at TruFin, I would like to thank Sean for his invaluable contribution. It has been a genuine pleasure to work alongside him, and we wish him every success for the future."

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT

For the six months ended 30 June 2026

Oxygen

Oxygen continues to occupy an enviable position in its chosen markets. The business is underpinned by long-term public sector client relationships, high levels of recurring revenue and products that are becoming increasingly embedded within client operations.

Although the after-effects of the Procurement Act were still being felt, the business delivered the anticipated growth over the comparable period in 2025, with revenue increasing by 12% and EBITDA by 30% in H1 2026, reflecting the business model's inherent operating leverage. This performance reflected further progress in Early Payment ("EP"), strong growth in partnership revenues and resilient SaaS revenue delivery, despite increasingly competitive market conditions.

EP remains the core of the business and continued to perform strongly during the period. UK EP revenue grew by 17% in H1 2026, while new signed supplier spend, a key lead indicator for future revenues, was ahead of target at £362m (an increase of c.50% over H1 2025). This increase resulted in a net signed annual supplier spend of more than £2.1bn at the period end, providing excellent visibility of future transacted volumes. Oxygen's established public sector client base continues to provide opportunities both to deepen supplier participation within existing programmes and to broaden the range of products and services delivered to clients.

Oxygen's FreePay initiative continues to deliver social value by enabling small and local suppliers to receive early payment at no cost. During H1 2026, £454m was paid early through FreePay across more than 150,000 invoices from over 22,000 suppliers.

Oxygen's SaaS businesses continued to demonstrate resilience in an increasingly competitive market. Insights grew its client base during the first half, with new customer acquisition exceeding attrition, although average contract values remain under pressure. BidStats continues to extend Oxygen's reach into the wider public sector procurement intelligence market. The increased availability of free procurement data and AI-enabled tools is creating a more competitive environment, reinforcing the importance of Oxygen's differentiated data, product capability, sector expertise and established client relationships.

During the first half, partnership revenues continued to grow strongly, more than doubling year on year. Recovery audit services performed ahead of expectations and Oxygen continues to develop selected partner solutions aligned to the needs of its public sector clients. Partnership revenue is becoming an increasingly meaningful contributor to Oxygen's growth, highlighting the depth and strength of the relationships that Oxygen has nurtured over the years.

Oxygen continues to invest selectively in technology, automation and AI to improve operational efficiency, strengthen product capability and support future growth. The business has now brought core EP technology in-house and is increasingly using its proprietary data, public sector expertise and product development capability to enhance client outcomes, improve internal productivity and create a more scalable operating platform.

During the period, Oxygen continued to generate strong cash returns for the Group, enabling the return of £1.35m to TruFin, an increase of 35% over the same period in 2025.

 

Satago

The restructuring undertaken over the past two years has delivered its intended outcome. Satago is now operating a capital-efficient, partner-led model built around its proprietary technology rather than its own balance sheet.

The next goal is to ensure the full adoption of the Lending-as-a-Service ("LaaS") model, resulting in Satago transitioning away from core servicing provision. Removing the operational demands of servicing will allow Satago to focus on making its invoice finance and embedded technology available to a larger number of lending partners. The LaaS pipeline remains strong, and Satago looks forward to updating the market as new partnerships are launched.

Satago had previously targeted EBITDA break-even in June 2026. This milestone was achieved and, due to strong growth and financial discipline, Satago now expects to be EBITDA profitable on a full-year basis.

The principal driver of revenue growth has been Satago's core software product, its cash flow management solution, where subscriptions have grown 260% year-on-year to 4,621 (H1 2025: 1,777). Subscriptions provide a high-margin, recurring revenue stream, and Satago will continue to focus on growing this part of the business. In H2, Satago will extend the offering to non-UK markets through agreements with existing partners, taking a proven solution into new territories at limited incremental cost.

Satago has also continued to expand its embedded capabilities and will widen its cash flow management offering in H2 to include accounting for micro-businesses and SMEs. Bringing MTD-compliant accounting, credit control, risk insights and invoice finance together in a single solution gives Satago a truly differentiated proposition in the UK, addressing a potential market of 5.6 million small businesses.

Post period end developments and outlook

Oxygen

Post-period-end trading has remained positive. July 2026 revenue increased by 14% compared with July 2025, with UK EP revenue growing by 25% and delivering its second-highest monthly revenue on record. This performance was supported by record transacted supplier spend during the month.

The strength of Oxygen's client proposition continues to be reflected in 100% renewal performance, with eight EP client renewals completed during H1, and confidence in successfully renewing the remaining long-term contracts expiring in H2. This provides further evidence of the value Oxygen delivers to clients and the durability of its long-term contracted revenue base.

The new business pipeline for EP remains substantial. Whilst Local Government Reorganisation ("LGR") is expected to reduce some short-term pipeline opportunities for impacted authorities, it increases the number of medium-term target organisations as larger unitary authorities are created. LGR also increases the spend available for EP inclusion across a number of existing clients. Oxygen continues to focus on its core local authority market while developing opportunities across adjacent areas of the public sector.

Oxygen continues to take a disciplined approach to investment in SaaS, recognising the increasing maturity and competitiveness of the procurement intelligence market. The strategy remains focused on strengthening product capability, improving client retention and acquisition, protecting the value of the subscription base and exploiting Oxygen's differentiated data assets.

Overall, Oxygen remains well positioned for the remainder of 2026 and beyond. Its strong client retention, contracted revenue base and established public sector relationships provide a solid foundation, while the substantial EP pipeline, growing partnership revenues and continued investment in technology and data provide attractive opportunities for further growth.

The Board remains confident that Oxygen has the quality of customer relationships, market position and operating capabilities required to deliver sustainable growth and continue to generate strong cash returns for TruFin.

Satago

Satago is now EBITDA profitable and, in contrast to prior periods, no further capital is expected to be required to support the business.

TruFin continues to hold 97.70% of Satago. The management incentive plan ("MIP"), previously expected to be implemented during 2025, is now expected to be implemented in H2 2026 and will have similar characteristics to other MIPs within the Group.

The second half will be focused on converting the LaaS pipeline, completing the move away from core servicing and bringing the expanded accounting proposition to market.

With a strong partner pipeline and proprietary technology, Satago is well positioned to deliver sustainable recurring revenue and long-term shareholder value.

As at 31 August 2026, the TruFin Group had at least £24.9m of cash and cash equivalents and no more than £0.5m of net near-term liabilities.

Board changes

Sean Brennan, who joined the Board of Playstack in April 2024 and the Board of TruFin in September 2025, stepped down from the TruFin Board on the date of this announcement, following the successful completion of the sale of Playstack. The Board would like to thank Sean for his invaluable contribution and wishes him every success for the future.

Client contracts comprise the directly attributable costs incurred at the beginning of an Early Payment Scheme Service contract to revise a client's existing payment systems and provide access to the Group's software and other intellectual property. These implementation costs are comprised primarily of employee costs.

The useful economic life for each individual asset is deemed to be the term of the underlying Client contract (generally 5 years) which has been deemed appropriate and for impairment review purposes, projected cash flows have been discounted over this period.

The amortisation charge is recognised in fee expenses within the statement of comprehensive income, as these costs are incurred directly through activities which generate fee income.

Software, licenses and similar assets comprises separately acquired software, as well as costs directly attributable to internally developed platforms across the Group. These directly attributable costs are associated with the production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group and are probable of producing future economic benefits. They primarily include employee costs and directly attributable overheads.

A useful economic life of 3 to 5 years has been deemed appropriate and for impairment review purposes projected cash flows have been discounted over this period.

The amortisation charge is recognised in depreciation and amortisation on non-financial assets within the statement of comprehensive income.

Goodwill and "Separately identifiable intangible assets" arise from acquisitions made by the Group.
