(the "Company" or "RentGuarantor")

 

Full Year Trading Update

 

 

RentGuarantor (AIM: RGG), a leading provider of rent guarantee services to
prospective tenants seeking to rent property in the UK(1) private rental
sector provides an unaudited quarterly and full year ("FY") trading update for
the three-month and twelve-month period ended 31 December 2025.

 

Highlights

 

·    Continued strong growth

Q4 2025 revenue increased by 83% year-on-year ("YoY"), delivering FY 2025
growth of 88%, demonstrating continued strong demand for our guarantee
services. Full year revenue is expected to be approximately £2.39 million, 9%
ahead of market expectations(2) for the period. This growth was driven
primarily by the number of tenant contracts signed, with the average revenue
per tenant contract increasing YoY by 1.2%.

 

A summary of revenue performance is presented in the table below. These
figures are unaudited and rounded:

 

                                       Q4 2025    Q4 2024    FY 2025      FY 2024
 Revenue                               £669,000   £365,000   £2,389,000   £1,274,000
 YoY growth (%)                        83.3%                 87.5%
 Avg. revenue per tenant contract      £799       £808       £764         £755
 YoY growth (%)                        -1.1%                 1.2%
 Number of tenant contracts completed  837        452        3,125        1,687
 YoY growth (%)                        85.2%                 85.2%

 

·    The Company currently expects for its operating loss for FY 2025,
adjusted for AIM admission costs and Q4 2025 fundraising fees, to be increased
by approximately £280k relative to market expectations(3) for the period,
predominantly due to accelerated marketing-related costs in Q4 2025 in order
to capture the opportunities from the Renters' Rights Act being passed into
law.  The majority of these marketing-related costs were originally
anticipated to be incurred in FY 2026.  The Company also currently expects
for its adjusted loss before tax for FY 2025 to be further increased relative
to market expectations(3) for the period, predominantly due to revaluation
adjustments associated with the convertible element of Convertible Loan Notes
held as at 31 December 2025.

 

·    Successful subscription raising £2.5m

In Q4, the Company raised gross proceeds of £2,543,254 by way of an issue of
20,346,034 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price
of 12.5p per new Ordinary Share by way of subscriptions, with each new
Ordinary Share being accompanied by one warrant to subscribe for a new
Ordinary Share. Following this fundraise, unaudited cash as at 31 December
2025 was approximately £2.1 million.

 

·    Expansion of partnership network

In Q4, the Company expanded its partnership network by adding a total of 103
new lettings agents, charities, councils and universities, taking the total
number of partners to 622. The total number of entities now accepting
RentGuarantor is 1,794. This includes partnership agreements with Winkworth
and Jones Lang LaSalle.

 

 

Paul Foy, CEO of RentGuarantor, said: "FY 2025 saw the delivery of another
strong year of growth, driven by solid execution of our strategy. In addition,
the passing of the Renters' Rights Act during Q4 enhances the importance of
our service to both renters and landlords. We are working with other industry
participants to ensure we maximise the opportunity afforded when the majority
of the Act's provisions come into effect in May 2026.

 

In Q4 we delivered a 4x increase in the number of partnership agreements,
including with Winkworth and Jones Lang LaSalle. The scale and calibre of
these agreements was made possible by our increasing profile in the industry
and our recruitment ahead of growth, that positions us to pursue the
significant opportunities in FY 2026.

 

We continue to actively engage with investors, which assisted in our raising
£2.5m gross in Q4 to capitalise on the opportunities presented by the
Renters' Rights Act. I'm grateful to shareholders for their continued support
and I look forward to keeping our stakeholders updated with our progress as
2026 progresses."
