Pennant International (LSE:PEN) has strengthened its position in the U.S. defence market after securing another sale of its Auxilium systems support software through its strategic partnership with Siemens Digital Industries Software. The agreement represents the second customer win delivered through the Siemens sales channel this year.
The latest contract involves a major U.S. defence customer and provides further evidence of growing commercial demand for Pennant’s Auxilium platform. It also supports the company’s strategy of using indirect sales partnerships to broaden the software’s reach within complex and highly regulated defence environments.
Alongside the new contract, Pennant reported that annual recurring revenue generated by Auxilium has increased to approximately £2.9 million. This compares with £2.4 million at the end of FY2025 and represents a new record for the group.
The increase in recurring revenue supports Pennant’s ongoing transition towards a business model with a greater contribution from software and services. Expanding this portion of the revenue base has the potential to improve visibility over future income while reducing reliance on individual project-based contracts.
The latest Auxilium sale also strengthens Pennant’s presence in mission-critical defence and aerospace support markets, where customers require sophisticated tools to manage increasingly complex equipment, logistics and maintenance requirements.
Pennant’s broader financial performance nevertheless remains challenging, with declining revenue and widening losses weighing on its outlook. Cash generation has remained modest and inconsistent. In contrast, technical indicators have recently been stronger, with the shares trading above major moving averages, although a high relative strength index points to the possibility of overbought conditions. Valuation measures also remain difficult to assess conventionally while the company is loss-making and does not provide a dividend yield.
