Transense Technologies (LSE:TRT), the AIM-listed developer of advanced sensing and measurement technologies, has indicated that trading for the year ended 30 June 2026 will come in slightly below previous expectations as delays in contract progression and softer demand within its Translogik division affected short-term performance.
The company expects to report revenue of at least £4.6 million, adjusted EBITDA of no less than £0.5 million and an adjusted pre-tax result close to break-even. The revised outlook reflects lower-than-anticipated sales of Translogik products to major global tyre manufacturers, as well as slower customer commitments relating to engineering and development costs.
SAWsense Growth Offsets Areas of Weakness
Despite the near-term headwinds, management highlighted continued progress across its SAWsense business, which has delivered increasing revenues and a strengthening commercial pipeline. The company also reported stable royalty income from Bridgestone’s iTrack tyre monitoring system, which continues to provide a recurring revenue stream.
While several larger commercial opportunities have taken longer to convert than originally expected, Transense said it remains encouraged by ongoing customer engagement and the quality of its pipeline. As a result, expectations for FY27 have been moderated, although management believes the business retains positive operational momentum.
Medium-Term Confidence Remains Intact
The board stated that it remains confident in the company’s medium-term growth prospects as it works towards securing a number of significant contracts currently under discussion. Management believes the combination of expanding SAWsense adoption, recurring royalty income and future contract wins positions the business well for longer-term development.
From an investment perspective, Transense continues to benefit from solid financial fundamentals, including revenue growth, strong gross margins, improving free cash flow generation and minimal leverage. However, these strengths are currently offset by weak technical indicators, with the share price trading well below key moving averages and momentum measures such as RSI and Stochastic indicators remaining at depressed levels. Valuation remains moderately supportive, with the shares trading on a price-to-earnings ratio of approximately 12.16.
