Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2025
Eco Buildings Group PLC (AIM: ECOB), announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025.
Operational Highlights
· Over the six months to 30 June 2025 the Company's production line in Albania produced as planned over 42,000 sqm of walls operating on a single shift basis.
· In September 2025, the Company announced that it had signed a new contract to construct a luxury low-rise apartment block comprising 18 single dwellings, each averaging 100 square meters. Following the construction of this first apartment block, the Company has a letter of intent in place to build another two identical apartment blocks in Q1-Q2 next year. Each apartment block is anticipated to generate €2.2 million in revenue.
· In February 2025 the Company achieved CE marking (Conformite Europeenne) for its products for use throughout the European Community. The CE mark allows its products to be made commercially available within the EU and opens up these markets where there is considerable demand already generated.
· The Company completed two show homes in Chile in early 2025. The construction of these properties was part of the due diligence process being undertaken by the Chilean government ahead of confirmation of its commitment to enter into a long-term manufacturing and supply contract for modular housing, This initiative is aligned with the government's broader social housing programme and also provided an opportunity to further market Eco's products in the region.
· In April 2025 Eco Buildings Group Albania, was awarded the ISO 14001:2015 certification for its Environmental Management System (EMS). This internationally recognized standard underscores the Group's unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable business practices.
Financial Highlights
· Revenue for the six months to 30 June 2025 increased to €1.8 million (H1 2024: €0.2 million) including the first revenues recognised from the sale of GFRG panelling.
· The Company made a marginal loss of €0.062 million a material improvement compared to H1 2024 (€1.1 million loss)
Operational Update
Operating Update for the period to 30 June 2025
Operational Milestones
The Company focus in the six months to 30 June 2025 has been the operations of the factory in Durres. Eco has produced over 42,000 square metres of walling product over the last six months to 30 June 2025 for use in construction projects in Albania and overseas.
As production levels at the factory expand, the group has invested in careful planning to ensure that growth does not come at the expense of the quality of our products. Rapid increases in the rate of production can bring pressure to streamline processes, but maintaining high standards is central to our brand and ethos. By investing in robust quality control systems, and efficient workflows, the factory has increased capacity while safeguarding the consistency and reliability of its products.
Equally important is ensuring high standards are embedded in the Company's factory culture. Clear quality guidelines, rigorous checks at every stage of production, and ongoing monitoring allow the business to maintain high quality standards. Training new staff is central to this strategy. As Eco's workforce continues to grow and we anticipate the deployment of teams to the proposed new production lines, comprehensive training and continuous skills development help new employees operate to the Company's high standards.
To demonstrate our commitment to high standards the company has in the last six months achieved two significant certifications:
· In February 2025 the Company achieved CE marking (Conformite Europeenne) for its products for use throughout the European Community. CE marking allows a product to be legally sold throughout the European Economic Area (EEA). CE marking means you don't need separate national approvals, reducing barriers to entry, allowing wider opportunities throughout Europe whilst providing confidence in our products.
· In April 2025 Eco Buildings Group Albania, was awarded the ISO 14001:2015 certification for its Environmental Management System (EMS). This an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This achievement demonstrates the company's commitment to sustainability while enhancing trust with consumer partner and regulators.
Sales development
In the six month period to 30 June 2025 the Company recorded sales of €1.8 million, driven by significant sales efforts and the hard work of our operations team to increase rates of panel production
This month we announced the award of a new contract to construct a luxury low-rise apartment block comprising 18 residences, each averaging 100 square meters. Following completion of this first building, the Company has secured a letter of intent to deliver an additional two identical apartment blocks during Q1-Q2 of next year. Further negotiations are in progress for the construction of three more apartment blocks, which would bring the total to six once the initial phase is completed.
The Board of Eco Buildings views this project as a stepping stone towards a larger villa development in Albania, anticipated to begin following the delivery of the six apartment blocks. Each building is expected to generate €2.2 million in revenue, with gross margins aligned with the Company's previously reported figure of 40%.
The Directors attribute the success in securing this contract to Eco Buildings' innovative construction technology, which offers a significantly more cost-effective and time-efficient alternative to traditional construction methods. This enables developers to reduce costs and accelerate delivery timelines. Each apartment block is expected to be completed within 6-9 months from commencement, with work on the first luxury block already underway.
Litigation Update
The Company has secured full litigation funding from Atticus Litigation Financing ("Atticus"), a new fund scheduled to commence operations in October2025. Atticus is advised by Nick Rowles-Davies, a recognised pioneer and global authority in the litigation funding industry.
This financial support ensures that the Company is fully resourced to advance its €195 million claim before the International Court of Arbitration, where the arbitration panel nomination process is already in progress. The case concerns significant losses arising from adverse and improper actions taken by government agencies in Kosovo.
To lead its legal strategy, the Company has appointed BSA Law, a distinguished international law firm headquartered in Dubai. The firm is engaged under a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA), reflecting its strong confidence in the merits of the claim.
Financial Developments
In May 2025 the company raised gross proceeds of £670,000 through a firm placing of 16,750,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 4 pence per share. £250,000 was placed directly with one new subscriber, with the balance placed with existing shareholders.
On the 4 September 2025 the Company announced it had issued £300,000 of a zero coupon, 2-year convertible loan note, convertible at 4 pence per share. The Loan Note is convertible at any time, at the election of the Note holder, during its 24-month term into new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 4 pence per share. No interest is payable on the Note.
The Company has also agreed to issue Warrants as part of the Loan Note on a basis of 1 Warrant for every 2 Shares issued. The Warrants may be exercised at a price of 8p and are exercisable at any time up to the third anniversary of the date of this announcement at which time they will lapse.
On the 12 September 2025 the Company announced that it had raised gross proceeds of £600,000 through the placing of 15,000,000 new ordinary shares at the 4p.
On the 22 September 2025 the Company announced that it has issued 5,000,000 new ordinary shares following receipt of a conversion notice of £200,000 on the Loan at a conversion price of 4 pence per share.
