Overview
MindGym is mid-way through its three-year transformation strategy to evolve the business from episodic training provider to a strategic behavioural-change partner by making MindGym products easier to buy, easier to sell and easier to renew. As expected, H1 FY26 has been challenging, following the conclusion of the multi-year energy framework agreement, and due to rebuilding the sales organisation whilst dealing with market headwinds, particularly in the US. Despite this, we remain committed to our transformation strategy with H1 actions focused on increasing commercial effectiveness and product alignment under our High-Performance Behaviour Model.
Financial Highlights
· Reported revenue was down 33% at £13.5m (H1 FY25: £20.2m):
o Like for like revenue, excluding the multi-year energy framework which concluded in H2 FY25, was 16% down at £13.5m versus £16.2m in H1 FY25
o Revenue in EMEA was broadly flat with weaker performance in the challenging US market
· Gross margin was improved at 87% vs 85% the previous year
· Reported EBITDA was a loss of £1.7m (H1 FY25: Profit of £0.8m)
· Adjusted EBITDA loss of £1.0m (HY25: Profit of £0.8m) excludes the impact of the redundancy and restructuring costs incurred in the year
· Significant reduction in overheads reflects the savings from the ongoing cost reduction exercise and operational efficiencies:
o Overheads decreased by 25% or £4.6m year on year, or 21% when including the adjusting items in the period
o Since the period end, a further £3.5m in annualised cost savings have been implemented
· During the period, MindGym started utilising the £4m overdraft facility, renewed in March 2025. As at 30 September 2025, cash at bank was £0.4m and net debt was £1m
Strategic and Operational Highlights - Focus on commercial effectiveness
· New commercial leadership and rebuilt sales team, driving increase in sales effectiveness and capacity
· Strategic third-party marketing partnership initiated from October 2025, in order to increase digital lead generation, with a flexible cost model aligned with performance
· Launch of High-Performance Behaviour Model, which unifies MindGym's IP and data, representing the core differentiated IP at the heart of all our products and solutions, enabling new product launches currently in progress
· Launch of our content membership packages in Q1 FY26, enabling greater flexibility, repeatable revenue and stickier client relationships
o This new membership model delivered its first sales in the period, securing 24 corporate memberships to date with a strong pipeline of new opportunities
· New sales orders in Q2 FY26 exceeded revenue, showing progress in our commercial effectiveness
· Launch of working capital improvement initiative to bring forward cash payments in contract cycle
Current Trading & Outlook - Expectations Unchanged
· Full year revenues remain in line with expectations, with performance weighted towards H2, as we expect to benefit from an increase in licence revenues and the investments made in sales and marketing effectiveness
· The Board's expectations for adjusted EBITDA remain unchanged as H2 revenue growth and the lower cost base will drive a return to profitability and cash generation
Board Changes
· As announced on 26 September 2025, Nick Stone was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer to cover Emily Fyffe's maternity leave
Analyst and Investor Webcast
There will be an analyst and investor presentation available to view from 9am GMT today. The presentation will be made available on MindGym's investor website: https://themindgym.com/investors/reports.
Christoffer Ellehuus, Chief Executive Officer of MindGym, said:
"I am pleased with the progress we are making on our 3-year transformation strategy, despite the uncertainties related to AI implications to HR investments causing customer caution. Importantly, we've made significant progress on our commercial effectiveness, having successfully created and launched our new unified High-Performance Behaviour Model, whilst delivering the rapid adoption of our new membership model.
This new go-to-market strategy is embedding MindGym's content in clients' core training curricula, delivering stickier client relationships and sustainable recurring revenues. Overall, this is expected to deliver a return to adjusted EBITDA profitability for the year as a whole, whilst laying the foundations for longer-term sustainable growth."

Strategic and Operational Update
MindGym is on a three-year transformation journey to evolve the business from episodic training provider to strategic behaviour-change partner, which is setting the Group up to earn more sustainable and repeatable revenues. Trading conditions continued to be challenging in H1 FY26 with cautious buying behaviours leading to delayed contracts. This is particularly true in the US where AI-enabled HR technology is currently the focus of corporate buyers.
· The Group has increasingly focused on commercial effectiveness in the period through a globally aligned sales team under the new sales leadership appointed at the end of FY25. The sales team has been rebuilt under consistent performance standards with the number of sales team members increasing from 30 to 39 by November 2025. This has driven a significant improvement in pipeline generation, 15% up on the prior year and pleasingly also saw higher sales orders than revenue in Q2 FY26 as a result.
· Following the launch of its new website, the Group has increased focus on digital lead generation. To accelerate returns on digital marketing and enhance market reach and leads, the Group has effectively outsourced this activity and appointed a specialist marketing agency, Oliver, under a strategic partnership. This collaboration offers a flexible cost model aligned with performance, enabling us to leverage fractional expertise and scale marketing-driven sales leads.
· Q4 FY25 saw the launch of the content subscription package, enabling clients to leverage MindGym's proprietary IP over a licence period, enabling greater flexibility, repeatable revenue and stickier client relationships. In H1 FY26 the offering has further evolved with the introduction of our membership model providing access to the full suite of MindGym training programmes and e-workouts. This model reduces the length of the sales cycle, accelerates revenue recognition and increases predictability. Since launch we've secured 24 corporate memberships. Of these, 13 started in H1 FY26, with the remainder commencing in Q3 FY26. Total membership sales to date, inclusive of associated delivery fees, are worth £2.4m with revenue recognised of £1.7m. During the period £2.0m worth of membership sales were completed and revenue recognised of £1.0m.
· In Q1 FY26, the Group launched its High-Performance Behaviour Model, which unifies MindGym's IP and data into a new-to-the-world universal model for behaviour change. At the heart of this model is MindGym's 10X psychometric data asset (acquired in 2022), which links key behaviours to core business outcomes. The High-Performance Behaviour Model will be the core differentiated IP at the heart of all products and solutions, most notably a new set of data-based psychometric assessment products. These new assessment products are currently being 'soft' launched in the market with a handful of early-adopter clients and a full launch including new digital dashboarding capabilities expected in Q4 FY26.
· A working capital improvement initiative is also underway in order to enhance cash conversion within the business and is already starting to show positive benefits. Along with the new and broader go to market strategy, tighter cash terms have been introduced into the MindGym standard contracts with a higher proportion of payment required up front, especially in the subscription and licencing contracts where access to IP and data is immediate. As a result, deferred income has increased from £1.3m at H1 FY25 to £2.5m at H1 FY26 and, whilst revenue has declined by 33% in the period, cash receipts have only declined by 22%.
Financial Review:
Revenue
Revenue in H1 FY26 was £13.5m, down 33% on the equivalent period in the prior year (H1 FY25: £20.2m):
· In EMEA, revenue decreased by 34% to £8.0m (H1 FY25: £12.1m). This was predominantly driven by the multi-year energy framework agreement which concluded in FY25. Excluding the impact of this contract, EMEA revenue remained broadly flat at -2%.
· In the US, revenue decreased by 31% (30% in constant currency) to £5.5m (H1 FY25: £8.1m). This was a result of the continuing challenging market conditions and the reorganisation of the US sales team.
· Total Licence revenue was £1.0m in the period with membership subscription revenue making up £0.7m of the total (H1 FY25: £nil). This new revenue stream launched in Q4 FY25.
Gross margin
Gross margin has increased to 86.8% (H1 FY25: 84.9%), reflecting a reduction in higher cost face to face delivery revenue in H1 FY26.
Administrative Expenses
Overheads decreased by 25% to £13.4m (H1 FY25: £18.0m) or 21% when including the adjusting items in the current period. The reduction reflects savings from the prior year cost reduction exercise and operational efficiencies gained. Average headcount reduced from 247 to 189 in the six months to 30 September 2025, a 23% reduction. Further cost reduction initiatives have been implemented since the end of the H1 period and are expected to deliver further annualised savings of £3.5m.
The share-based payment charge in the period was £0.1m compared to a credit of £0.1m in H2 FY26 due to awards made to management that were granted in August 2025.
Depreciation and amortisation has reduced to £0.7m (H1 FY25: £1.5m), predominantly driven by £4.4m impairment of intangibles in Q3 FY25.
Profit/(loss)
Reported EBITDA loss for the period was £1.7m (H1 FY25: £0.8m profit). Excluding the impact of exceptional items in H1 FY26, the adjusted EBITDA loss was £1.0m (H1 FY25: £0.8m profit). There were no adjusting items in the six months to 30 September 2024. The loss before tax was £2.5m (H1 FY25: £0.9m loss).
Basic loss per share in the period was 2.48p (H1 FY25: 0.79p loss). Adjusted loss per share was 1.97p (H1 FY25: 0.79p loss).
Cash
As at 30 September 2025, cash at bank was £0.4m and net debt was £1.0m, a reduction of £1.6m from the year-end net cash balance at 31 March 2025 of £0.6m. The Group's £4m overdraft facility has been partially utilised during the period, with £1.4m drawn down at the period end.
Whilst the Group continues to manage working capital carefully, overdue debt increased to 8% of trade debtors compared to 5% at the 31 March 2025 year-end. The increase in aged debt is due to a couple of large payments that were outstanding at the end of H1 FY26 that have since been received. Trade and other debtors have decreased by £0.7m since 31 March 2025 and trade and other payables showed an increase of £0.2m over the same period showing an improving working capital position in total of £0.9m.
Dividend
The Board continues to prioritise investment for growth over the coming years, and therefore no interim dividend will be paid for the period ended 30 September 2025.
Outlook:
The new go-to-market strategy focused on introducing packaged subscriptions together with the impact of the investments made in the sales team and in marketing is laying the foundation for a resumption of sustainable growth into H2 FY26 and into FY27. Revenues in the second half of the year are expected to be stronger than the first half and this revenue growth and strong working capital management will drive a return to profitability and cash generation. The Board's expectations for adjusted EBITDA and positive year end cash balances therefore remain unchanged.

Restructuring costs in the six months ended 30 September 2025 and the year ended 31 March 2025 included redundancy costs related to the reduction of the cost base.
Impairment of intangible assets were excluded from the adjusted results of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2025 since the costs were one-off charges.

The statutory tax credit of £19,000 (six months ended 30 September 2024: credit of £71,000; year ended 31 March 2025: charge of £2,000,000) represents an effective tax rate on loss before tax of 1% (six months ended 30 September 2024: 9%; year ended 31 March 2025: -32%).
