ELIXIRR INTERNATIONAL PLC

("Elixirr", the "Company" or "Group")

Trading Update and Interim Dividend

Strong revenue and EBITDA growth, continued strategic execution and increased
dividend

Elixirr International plc (ELIX.L), an established, global award-winning
challenger consultancy, is pleased to provide an update on trading and details
of its interim dividend for the year ended 31 December 2025 ("FY 25").

Trading Update

Subject to audit, FY 25 revenue is expected to meet or exceed market
expectations of £149 million, reflecting continued momentum across the Group.
In particular, the Group delivered record cross-sell revenue, as Partners
leveraged an expanded capability set and broader combined networks to deepen
existing client relationships.

Subject to audit, FY 25 Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to meet or exceed
market expectations of 28.1% - 29.2%, underpinned by operating leverage,
disciplined cost control, the continued stretch of revenue per Partner and the
acquisition of TRC Advisory, LLC.

Client quality continued to strengthen, with the number of 'gold clients'
(generating £1m+ annual revenue) increasing to 34, up from 27 in FY 24. This
reflects the combined impact of hiring high-quality Partners, making
differentiated acquisitions, promoting talent from within, and expanding the
scope and depth of work delivered to long-standing clients.

The Group continued to generate strong cash flows during the period. Year-end
net debt of £24.1 million (excluding capitalised office leases) was
approximately £7 million more favourable to market expectations,
demonstrating the cash generative nature of the business and the Group's
strong cash discipline.

Progress across Elixirr's four-pillar growth strategy of stretching existing
Partners, promoting from within, hiring new Partners and acquiring businesses
continues to deliver against the Group's growth ambitions. The Group remains
active in its acquisition pipeline and continues to explore value-accretive
acquisitions, while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation.

The Board is pleased to note that the Group's unaudited FY 25 performance
continues Elixirr's consistent delivery against the Rule of 40, with the
combined total of revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA margin exceeding 40%, as
has been achieved in every year since the AIM IPO in FY 20. In both FY 24 and
FY 25, the Group also achieved the Rule of 50. The Board believes this
consistent performance supports its ambition for Elixirr to enter the FTSE 250
index within the next 12 months.

The Group has also entered FY 26 with a record amount of revenue contracted
for the year as measured on the first day of a new financial year.

The Group will announce its audited full year FY 25 results on 20 April 2026.

Interim Dividend

The Company is declaring an interim dividend for FY 25 (the "Dividend") of
7.6p per Ordinary Share, representing an increase of 21% on the FY 24 interim
dividend per share.

The Dividend will be payable to shareholders on the register as at 30 January
2026 and has an associated ex-dividend date of 29 January 2026. The Dividend
of approximately £3.8 million in total will be paid to shareholders on 24
February 2026 and funded from the Company's operating cash flow.

Stephen Newton, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"This performance reflects the deliberate way we are building Elixirr -
expanding what we can do for clients, deepening relationships and scaling the
business without compromising discipline. FY 25 was a great year for us, and
we are excited about what FY 26 will bring. Our aim is to be close to or in
the FTSE 250 by the end of the year. Interestingly, if we were valued at the
same EV/EBITDA multiple as our initial AIM IPO in 2020, we already would be.
We will therefore keep delivering until we are!"

About Elixirr International plc

Elixirr is an award-winning global consulting firm working with clients across
a diverse range of industries, markets and geographies. Founded in 2009, the
firm set out to be the 'challenger consultancy' and do things differently than
the large corporate consultancies dominating the industry: working openly and
collaboratively with clients from start to finish, delivering outcomes based
on innovative thinking, not methodology, and treating each client's business
like their own. Elixirr was quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock
Exchange in 2020 and listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in
July 2025. In addition to strong organic growth, Elixirr has acquired eight
boutique firms - Den Creative, Coast Digital, The Retearn Group, iOLAP,
Responsum, Insigniam, Hypothesis and TRC Advisory - to grow the Group's
capabilities, diversify the business, expand into new geographies and access
new clients.
