eEnergy Group plc (LSE:EAAS) has issued a trading update ahead of its annual general meeting, outlining revised expectations for FY26 following the appointment of interim chief executive John Gahan and a comprehensive review of the company’s sales pipeline.
Following the assessment, the board now believes that investment-grade opportunities valued at £66 million provide a more realistic indication of the revenue potential available from active projects over the near and medium term.
Cost-Cutting Measures Underway
The company has launched a restructuring programme designed to simplify operations and reduce costs, with annual operating expenses expected to fall by almost one-third.
Management expects the initiative to generate approximately £2 million in annualised savings during FY26. Despite a one-off restructuring charge, the programme is also forecast to improve second-half adjusted EBITDA by around £1 million, reflecting the anticipated benefits of a leaner operating structure.
The measures form part of a broader effort to strengthen profitability and improve operational efficiency as the company adapts to current market conditions.
Revenue and Earnings Guidance Revised
For the first half of 2026, eEnergy expects to report revenue of approximately £22 million and adjusted EBITDA of £1.2 million.
However, the company has reduced its full-year guidance and now anticipates FY26 revenue of around £32 million and adjusted EBITDA of £1.7 million. While these figures still represent growth compared with FY25, they are below previous expectations and indicate a lower profitability profile than originally forecast.
Management said the revised outlook reflects a more conservative assessment of project conversion timelines and near-term revenue opportunities.
Outlook
eEnergy’s outlook reflects a business in transition. Improvements in operational performance and the return to positive operating and free cash flow provide encouraging signs, particularly as the restructuring programme takes effect.
However, these positives are offset by a significant decline in revenue relative to prior expectations and increased balance-sheet risk resulting from a reduced equity base and higher leverage levels.
Technical indicators currently suggest a neutral-to-cautious market view, while valuation measures remain difficult to assess given the company’s negative earnings position. Management believes the restructuring programme and a more focused commercial strategy should provide a platform for improved performance over the longer term.
