Trading Update - Strong end to FY25 and start of FY26

Investor Presentation via Investor Meet Company

 

Pathos Communications, the multiple award-winning technology-enabled,
human-led PR company, is pleased to announce its trading update for the
financial year ended 31 December 2025 ("FY25").

The Company had a positive finish to the year and expects to report FY25 ahead
of market expectations* with revenue of US$13.2 million (FY24: US$11.4
million) and adjusted EBITDA** of US$2.9 million (FY24: $1.9 million).

This financial performance was underpinned by strong volumes and the
continuing evolution of the Company's product mix that includes an increased
focus on securing articles in higher quality publications.

Net cash at 31 December 2025 was US$6.2 million following completion of the
successful fundraise and admission to AIM in December 2025. Strong cash
collections have continued since the implementation of enhanced processes and
controls in the first half of FY25, with the amount of revenue invoiced in the
second half of the year that has now been received or is not yet due totaling
94%. The very close relationship between revenue and cash collections is now
embedded into the business model.

The Company is also pleased to report that trading in the new financial year
has started well, driven by the Client Success team and proprietary AI-driven
improvements to business development and service delivery. Progress on
PathosMind and Pressella, the Company's proprietary AI tools, has continued,
and as planned the Company will utilise some of the funds raised at the IPO to
move these towards general availability.

Pathos is also currently in the process of onboarding multiple strategic
partners, who are expected to significantly add to the already substantial
internal business development capabilities through 2026 and beyond.

The Company expects to announce its inaugural audited results for the year
ended 31 December 2025 in May 2026.  The figures in this announcement remain
subject to audit.

Omar Hamdi, CEO of Pathos Communications, commented: "We are pleased to report
an excellent start to our life as a publicly listed company, with our strong
financial performance in 2025 speaking for itself. Our listing has already
provided us with access to a number of potential new partnerships and growth
opportunities which we plan to embed during the coming months. I am excited
and optimistic about the prospects of the Company in 2026 and beyond as we
expand our reach and develop our technology on the journey to democratising PR
for the world's 400 million SMEs. Our team is extremely driven and know
exactly what they have to do to see this come to fruition."
