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

 

Trading Update and Notice of Results

 

New £50m ACV milestone underpinned by strong Cloud demand and increasing AI
adoption across key sectors

 

Netcall plc (AIM: NET), an enterprise software company that unites automation
and customer engagement in one AI-powered platform, provides the following
update on trading for the six months ended 31 December 2025 ("H1 FY26").

 

The Board expects to report another period of strong double-digit growth, with
results for H1 FY26 in line with management expectations.

 

Revenue is expected to increase by 15% to £26.5m (H1 FY25: £23.0m), driven
by continued organic growth of 11% and initial contributions from Jadu,
acquired in December 2025. Adjusted EBITDA((1)) is anticipated to grow by 12%
to £6.4m (H1 FY25: £5.7m), reflecting the ongoing shift in revenue mix to
Cloud and the benefits of completing the Group's Cloud investment programme in
the prior period. Group cash at 31 December 2025 was £14.8m (30 June 2025:
£27.2m) after acquisition-related payments of £12.7m in H1 FY26 (net of cash
acquired). The Group remains debt-free.

 

Cloud services continue to drive significant organic growth, reflecting
broad-based demand for end-to-end automation and AI. Commercial momentum
includes strong uptake of Liberty modules from new and existing customers
across all key markets, with an increase in both new customer bookings and
average deal size. Customers are also increasingly adding Liberty AI products
as part of new subscriptions and expansions.  As a result, revenue visibility
strengthened further during the period with Cloud Annual Contract Value((2))
(ACV) increasing 42% to £42.6m (underlying organic growth of 25%). This takes
total ACV to a new milestone of £50.5m.

 

The integration of Jadu is progressing well. The acquisition broadens
Netcall's presence in local government, adds an established US partner network
and strengthens the Liberty platform with digital experience and AI
capabilities. It is aligned with the Group's strategy of acquiring businesses
that fast-track Liberty's roadmap, expand its customer base and create
cross-sell opportunities that can increase ACV per account and support
recurring revenue quality.

 

Notice of Results

 

Netcall expects to announce interim results for the six-month period ended 31
December 2025 on 4 March 2026.

 

James Ormondroyd, CEO of Netcall plc, commented:

 

"We have made a good start to FY26. Cloud growth remains strong across our
customer sectors as organisations prioritise productivity gains from
automation and AI. Adoption of Liberty's Cloud and AI capabilities continues
to build, reflecting returns on prior investment and more customers expanding
their use of the platform.

 

"With continued innovation across the Liberty platform, including embedding
agentic AI into workflows, and the integration of selective acquisitions that
enhance the platform, we enter the second half with positive momentum, a
scalable platform with a growing recurring revenue base and an expanding
opportunity ahead. The Board remains confident of continued progress in FY26."

 

 

((1)) Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation adjusted to
exclude the effects of share-based payments, acquisition, impairment, profit
or loss on disposals, contingent consideration and non-recurring transaction
costs.

 

((2)) ACV, as of a given date, is the total of the value of each cloud and
support contract divided by the total number of years of the contract plus the
annualised value of recurring Intelligent Document Processing ("IDP") revenue.
