Trading Update, New Contract awards and Renewals

Intercede, the leading cybersecurity software company specialising in digital
identities, today announces the following trading update for the six months
ending 30 September 2025 (H1 FY26).

The Group expects revenues for H1 FY26 to be approximately £8.21 million (H1
FY25: £8.54 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.9% or a
decrease of 4.2% on a constant currency basis.

Elements of the Group's revenue showed encouraging growth, underlying the
quality of the business being won and the positive momentum that the Group has
generated in broadening its client base. Reported revenues includes licence
revenue which increased by 65.5% to £1.44 million (H1 FY: £0.87 million)
and   comprises perpetual licence income of £1.08 million (up 63.6% from H1
FY25: £0.66 million) and subscription licence income of £0.36 million (up
71.4% from H1 FY25: £0.21 million). The growth in subscription licence income
is a key Group strategic focus of the Board, as the Group looks to transition
towards a more subscription-based revenue model.

The period saw the Group experience temporary delays in some contract awards,
primarily attributable to the US federal market. These delays, combined with
adverse exchange rate movements and changes in revenue mix, have particularly
affected reported US dollar revenues in Q2 of the period.

Notwithstanding these delays, the Group still saw good progress in contract
and renewal orders in Q2 FY26, totalling c$3.2m.  These include, but are not
limited to,  the following :

·    a new large order for a US publicly traded energy company, for MyID
CMS, totalling c$0.4m in subscription licence sales for 5 years, enhancing the
Group's strategic emphasis on transitioning towards a subscription-based
revenue model;

·    a new US Scientific Agency/National Laboratory order for MyID CMS,
totalling c$0.1m in subscription licence sales and professional services,
enhancing the Group's strategic emphasis on transitioning towards a
subscription-based revenue model;

·    a subscription licence order for MyID SecureVault Biometrics of
c$0.12m over a 2 year period from a systems integrator for a government end
client based in Asia.  This same government end client based in Asia also
provided a major development and professional services MyID CMS order for
c$0.2m;

·    a UK defence follow on order for MyID CMS, totalling c£0.1m in
perpetual licence sales, associated professional services of c£0.05m and 5
years support and maintenance of c£0.1m, enhancing further MyID licence
purchases in the European market;

·    a support and maintenance renewal from a large existing US Defence
and Aerospace manufacturer in excess of c$0.5m;

·    a support and maintenance renewal from a large existing US Defence
and Aerospace manufacturer in excess of c$0.3m;

·    a support and maintenance renewal from a large existing North
American telco business in excess of c$0.25m;

·    a professional services order for MyID CMS upgrade of c$0.14m from a
large existing US Defence and Aerospace manufacturer;

 

·    a professional services order of c$0.2m, for an existing POC client
in the US federal space to prepare the groundwork for a future device
deployment of MyID CMS; and

 

·    a support and maintenance renewal from a key Middle Eastern
educational establishment for MyID MFA in excess of c$0.16m.

 

Over 95% of these orders were received via our partners highlighting the
strength of the Group's partner network.

As at 30 September 2025, gross cash balances stood at £17.8 million (30
September 2024: £16.2 million), which includes the payment of £1.8 million
on the vesting of a share award as announced on 22 July 2025. Cash balances
were £18.7 million as at 31 March 2025. The Group continues to operate with
no debt.

Further details will be provided in the Group's interim results for H1 FY26,
scheduled for release on 25 November 2025.

Klaas van der Leest, CEO, commented:

"The Group continues to build momentum through a geo-diversified pipeline, and
the breadth of our new contract orders is a clear reflection of that progress.
The Group enters H2 FY26 with momentum and a growing revenue backlog for FY27
and beyond.

As we move into the second half of the year, the Group remains focused on
converting pipeline opportunities.   Given the underlying momentum being
seen by the Group, the Board remains confident in the Group's short, medium
and long-term growth trajectory and maintains that full-year financial
performance will be in line with current market expectations¹ ".

(1) For the purpose of this announcement, the Board believes market
expectations for FY26 to be revenues of £18.7m and adjusted EBITDA of £4.6m.
