TPXimpact Holdings PLC (LSE:TPX) has upgraded its full-year financial guidance following an increase in first-half revenue and adjusted EBITDA, alongside a move from net debt to a net cash position.

The digital transformation services group expects revenue of at least £57.0 million for the six months ended 30 September 2026, representing year-on-year growth of at least 57%.

Adjusted EBITDA for the period is expected to reach at least £7.5 million, more than double the amount recorded in the corresponding period last year. The company anticipates an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 13%.

TPXimpact also reported a change in its balance sheet position during the first half, moving from net debt of £4.2 million at the beginning of the 2027 financial year to net cash of £1.0 million at 30 September 2026.

Following the first-half trading performance, the board increased its guidance for the full financial year ending in 2027.

The company now expects annual revenue of at least £105 million and adjusted EBITDA of at least £14 million, reflecting management’s updated assessment of trading conditions and its pipeline of contracted and prospective work.

TPXimpact attributed its performance to demand for digital transformation services, the development of existing client relationships and greater visibility over future project activity.

The company primarily serves organisations in the UK public services sector, providing services covering digital design, data, technology and artificial intelligence.

Management also confirmed the completion of a three-year transformation programme aimed at improving the group’s operational structure and financial performance.

According to the company, the programme has contributed to operational efficiencies and increased operating leverage, allowing revenue growth to be accompanied by higher adjusted profitability.

The move to a net cash position represents a change in the group’s financial position compared with the beginning of the financial year.

TPXimpact said its current trading performance, client relationships and financial position provide a basis for its medium-term growth plans.

The company will continue to focus on delivering digital transformation projects for public sector customers while pursuing opportunities within its existing service areas.

The revised FY27 guidance reflects management’s expectations for continued revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA generation over the remainder of the financial year.

Atalaya Mining Copper, S.A. (LSE:ATYM) has reported copper production of 13,967 tonnes at its Proyecto Riotinto operation in Spain during the third quarter of 2026, supported by higher ore grades and improved metallurgical recoveries.

The company also reported sales of copper contained in concentrates totalling 15,243 tonnes during the quarter, while its realised copper price reached US$6.44 per pound.

Atalaya’s consolidated cash balance increased to €354.1 million, with net cash reaching €342.1 million, reflecting cash generation during the reporting period.

The company attributed its quarterly operating performance to improvements in copper grades and recoveries at Proyecto Riotinto, its principal producing asset.

Despite the third-quarter production figures, Atalaya expects full-year copper and silver production to finish towards the lower end of its previously announced guidance ranges.

The company maintained its existing forecasts for cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (AISC), although it identified geopolitical developments as a factor affecting energy and consumables markets.

Atalaya said it continues to monitor these cost pressures while maintaining its previously communicated operating cost expectations for 2026.

Alongside production activities at Proyecto Riotinto, the company reported progress across several development and exploration projects in Spain.

At San Dionisio, stripping operations advanced as part of the planned development of the deposit. Atalaya also completed drilling activities at the San Antonio polymetallic deposit, providing further information for its ongoing evaluation of the resource.

Work continued on the company’s E-LIX processing plant, which forms part of its programme to develop additional mineral processing capabilities.

Atalaya also reported progress at Proyecto Masa Valverde, one of its principal development assets outside the existing Riotinto mining operation.

Separately, the company confirmed that Proyecto Touro has been designated a Strategic Project under the European Union’s Critical Raw Materials Act.

The designation recognises the project’s relevance to the EU’s objectives for developing domestic supplies of critical raw materials, including copper.

Proyecto Touro forms part of Atalaya’s development portfolio and is intended to contribute to future copper production, subject to the necessary development and regulatory processes.

The company continues to advance its existing operations and development projects while maintaining its full-year production and cost guidance.

Greencoat UK Wind PLC (LSE:UKW) has acquired the remaining 20% interest in a portfolio of five UK wind farms from EDF Invest for approximately £10.5 million, taking full ownership of the assets as it outlines plans to expand its investment strategy.

The portfolio has a combined generating capacity of 96.4 megawatts (MW). The transaction has been financed through the company’s net cash generation, rather than additional external funding.

Alongside the acquisition, Greencoat UK Wind has entered into a joint development arrangement to assess potential repowering opportunities across the five wind farms.

Repowering involves replacing or upgrading existing wind generation equipment to extend the operational life of assets or improve their electricity generation capacity.

The company announced the transaction in connection with a capital markets event in London, where management outlined plans to broaden its investment activities beyond the acquisition and ownership of operational wind farms.

Under the revised strategy, Greencoat UK Wind intends to consider selected construction projects, operational life extensions and repowering investments, while retaining operating wind assets as the principal component of its portfolio.

The approach would allow the company to evaluate investment opportunities at different stages of a wind farm’s operational life, including projects involving the replacement or upgrading of existing infrastructure.

Management said the broader investment framework is intended to make use of the group’s existing portfolio, operational experience and internally generated capital.

The acquisition of EDF Invest’s remaining interest gives Greencoat UK Wind full ownership of the five wind farms, providing direct control over ownership decisions relating to their future operation and potential development.

The joint development arrangement will enable the parties to examine options for extending the assets’ operating lives through repowering. No specific development timetable, additional investment commitment or expected generating capacity following repowering was disclosed in the supplied announcement.

Greencoat UK Wind’s investment approach continues to focus on generating income from renewable electricity production, alongside managing the long-term operational performance of its assets.

The company also maintains an inflation-linked dividend policy, supported by cash generated from its portfolio of UK wind farms.

The capital markets event will provide further details of management’s approach to construction investment, asset life extensions and repowering opportunities as part of its wider portfolio strategy.

Quadrise Plc (LSE:QED) has reported progress on its fuel development project with Valkor Technologies in Utah, following the successful formulation of MSAR® and bioMSAR™ emulsions using a heavy sweet oil sample obtained from Valkor’s pilot plant.

The company confirmed that it had received a representative oil sample from the Asphalt Ridge project and completed initial formulation work using its proprietary fuel technologies. Further optimisation activities are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

Quadrise and Valkor are also preparing joint marketing activities for MSAR® and bioMSAR™ fuels in Utah as the project moves towards its planned production phase.

Valkor is continuing drilling and site installation activities at its Asphalt Ridge oil sands pilot plant, with first oil production currently targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

Under the existing site licence arrangements, Valkor has an outstanding payment balance of US$950,000 payable to Quadrise.

Valkor expects to make a payment of US$300,000 by the end of October 2026, with the remaining US$650,000 scheduled to become payable following completion of project financing, which is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2026.

The timing of the final payment therefore remains dependent on Valkor securing the necessary financing.

Quadrise is continuing preparations for the deployment of its Multifuel Manufacturing Unit (MMU), which has a processing capacity of 600 barrels per day, together with associated equipment required for operations at the Utah site.

The company plans to arrange shipment and mobilisation of the manufacturing equipment once the outstanding site licence fees have been received in full.

The planned installation would provide on-site manufacturing capacity for Quadrise’s emulsion fuel products using oil produced from Valkor’s Asphalt Ridge operations.

The project remains subject to completion of the outstanding licence payments, equipment deployment and Valkor’s ongoing site development programme.

Quadrise’s immediate activities include further fuel formulation optimisation, preparations for equipment mobilisation and coordination with Valkor on the proposed commercial marketing of MSAR® and bioMSAR™ in Utah.

Thruvision Group plc (LSE:THRU) has announced three new orders for its 81 Series security screening systems, covering deployments in the United Kingdom and Asia across the logistics, prison and security screening sectors.

The orders include a WalkTHRU screening lane for a UK distribution centre operated by a logistics company headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, a SpotCHECK system for a privately operated UK prison and a further SpotCHECK unit purchased by Thruvision’s distribution partner in Asia.

The UK logistics order follows a proof-of-concept trial of Thruvision’s technology and will see a WalkTHRU screening lane installed at a distribution facility handling high volumes of goods and personnel.

The company said the installation represents an additional deployment of its screening technology within the retail distribution sector, where systems are used to screen individuals moving through operational facilities.

Separately, Thruvision has received an order for its SpotCHECK product from a privately operated prison in the United Kingdom.

The order represents a further application of the company’s security screening technology within the prisons and corrections market, one of the sectors targeted by Thruvision for commercial development.

In Asia, the company’s regional partner has purchased a SpotCHECK system for installation in a country where Thruvision has not previously deployed the product.

The order extends the geographical coverage of the company’s screening systems and reflects its use of regional distribution partnerships alongside direct customer relationships.

All three orders relate to Thruvision’s 81 Series product range, which is designed to identify concealed metallic and non-metallic objects during security screening.

The company supplies screening systems for use in commercial and government facilities, including locations requiring the processing of large numbers of people.

The latest orders cover different operating environments and geographical markets, with Thruvision continuing to supply its technology through direct sales and international distribution arrangements.

Financial terms, delivery schedules and the combined value of the three orders were not disclosed in the supplied announcement.

Gana Media Group plc (LSE:GANA) has reported a 1,284% quarter-on-quarter increase in gross gaming revenue (GGR) at its Mexican online sportsbook and casino business, Estadio Gana, reaching MXN 34.6 million in the third quarter of 2026.

The company also reported a 377% increase in betting turnover to MXN 170.6 million during the quarter, reflecting higher activity across its online gambling platform.

Gross gaming revenue as a percentage of betting turnover increased to 20.3%, approximately three times the level recorded in the preceding quarter.

Gana Media Group acquired Estadio Gana in January 2026 and has since introduced changes to its payment systems, customer registration processes and customer relationship management operations.

According to the company, these measures have contributed to increases in first-time depositors and active users, alongside growth in overall betting activity.

By mid-October 2026, the platform had registered 87,523 users. The company compared this figure with the seating capacity of Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium.

September accounted for more than half of Estadio Gana’s total third-quarter gross gaming revenue, making it the platform’s highest-revenue month to date.

The company noted that September’s performance was achieved without the additional betting activity associated with the FIFA World Cup.

Based on its September trading performance, Gana Media Group said Estadio Gana had reached a monthly gross gaming revenue run rate exceeding US$1 million.

The group enters the fourth quarter with a schedule of sporting events expected to provide further betting opportunities for customers. However, the company has not provided a specific fourth-quarter revenue forecast in the supplied update.

The third-quarter figures reflect increased betting turnover, a higher gross gaming revenue margin and growth in registered users following the acquisition and operational changes implemented earlier in the year.

Norcros plc (LSE:NXR) expects to report a 19% increase in revenue to approximately £220 million for the 26 weeks ended 4 October 2026, with underlying continuing operating profit forecast to reach at least £24.6 million.

The bathroom products group said like-for-like revenue growth at constant currency was approximately 1.5%, reflecting differing trading conditions across its geographical markets.

Operations in Europe, including the Fibo business, and South Africa recorded revenue growth during the period, while demand in the UK remained subdued. The performance across its European and South African businesses partially offset the impact of softer conditions in the domestic market.

Norcros reported that pricing adjustments and ongoing operational efficiency programmes contributed to its first-half performance. The group has continued implementing cost management measures alongside initiatives intended to improve operational efficiency across its businesses.

The company also reported progress on the planned disposal of its South African operations, although the transaction has not yet been completed.

Net debt at the end of the reporting period is expected to be approximately £55 million, reflecting cash generation during the first half. The group estimates its leverage ratio at around 1.1 times EBITDA.

Looking ahead, Norcros expects market conditions to remain subdued during the second half of its financial year. Nevertheless, the board has maintained its guidance for full-year underlying operating profit to be in line with market expectations.

The company cited its pricing measures, supply chain arrangements, operational efficiency initiatives and cost management activities as factors supporting its current financial outlook.

The anticipated first-half results reflect revenue growth across the group, alongside continued efforts to manage operating costs and reduce net debt while progressing the proposed sale of its South African business.

International Public Partnerships (LSE:INPP) has reported progress towards its planned £68 million investment in the Moray West Offshore Transmission Owner (OFTO) project following the publication of proposed licence terms and associated documentation by UK energy regulator Ofgem.

The regulatory development represents a further stage in the approval process for the offshore transmission project, with financial close currently expected in December 2026.

The Moray West OFTO will provide electricity transmission infrastructure connecting the Moray West offshore wind farm, located in the Moray Firth off the Scottish coast, to the wider electricity network.

INPP expects the investment to generate double-digit, inflation-protected returns through an availability-based revenue arrangement extending over 23.5 years. Revenues under the proposed structure will be linked to the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), providing contractual inflation adjustments over the investment period.

Subject to completion, Moray West would become INPP’s twelfth OFTO investment, expanding its portfolio of regulated electricity transmission assets in the United Kingdom.

The Moray West wind farm is expected to provide renewable electricity generation capacity equivalent to the needs of approximately 1.3 million homes. Following the addition of Moray West, INPP’s OFTO portfolio would cover renewable generation capacity equivalent to supplying approximately 5 million homes.

The proposed transaction also forms part of INPP’s capital recycling strategy, under which the company reallocates capital from existing investments into new infrastructure opportunities. According to INPP, this approach has increased returns by more than 2% for each pound reinvested.

The investment remains subject to the completion of the relevant regulatory and transaction processes, with the company targeting financial close before the end of 2026.
