London Stock Exchange: Main Market and AIM
Croma Security Solutions Group 71.50p £9.43m (CSSG.L)
The security solutions Group updates on trading for the FY to 30 June 2026. Revenue is likely to be up 15% to around £11.0m which is slightly ahead of market expectations. EBITDA is also expected to be marginally ahead of expectations at around £1m although lower than previous period of £1.1m, reflecting the planned increased investment in the business. The performance reflects contributions from the two acquisitions completed in H2 together with growth driven by healthy demand from both retail and commercial customers. The Group's balance sheet remains robust, with no bank debt, and net cash (excluding lease liabilities) at 30 June 2026 ahead of market forecasts at £4.9m against £4.4m in the prior period. The CEO claims Croma is financially stronger than at any point in its history, with a debt-free balance sheet and growing cash resources. The platform seems set for further expansion of the strategy of acquiring high-quality independent locksmith businesses looking to benefit from being part of a larger organisation.

This milestone represents the Company's first physical helium sale and marks Helix's transition into a revenue-generating producer, achieved just over 24 months after the Company's IPO, a significant milestone for a Company that has progressed from exploration through development, commissioning, production and now commercial sales in little over two years. After a period of well optimisation, the tube trailer is now starting regular transit to the Company's industrial gases customer pursuant to the short-term spot sales arrangement announced in May with prices reflecting current spot market rates.

Receipt of the payment represents the first commercial milestone under the strategic partnership and demonstrates SAI's commitment to the long-term development of WHM's Heavy Mineral Sands assets. The Agreement establishes a fully funded long-term strategic partnership for the development of WHM's existing Walviskop operations, and, subject to the grant of the 2A Mining Right, the future industrial-scale development of the substantially larger 2A Project.
