The directors take responsibility for this announcement.

Sabien Technology Group plc

("Sabien" or the "Company")

 

Trading Update

 

Sabien Technology Group plc (AIM:SNT), the company focused on a green
aggregation strategy, announces its pre-close trading update for the six-month
period ended 31 December 2023 ("H1 24").

 

M2G

 

During H1 24, M2G, Sabien's Cloud-enabled gas boiler energy saving solution,
has generated further improvements in its key performance indicators.
Demonstrable savings for customers have outperformed initial estimates. In
this respect, clients who have installed M2G Cloud Connect have saved over
1.41 million KgCo2e collectively. The most recent installation of M2G Cloud
Connect by clients operating in the oil and gas sector has alone contributed
to a reduction of 3,667 KgCo2e since its implementation in December 2023.

 

In line with the above performance, in H1 24 the Company has won orders, in
aggregate, of £0.39m (31 December 2022 ("H1 23"): £0.21m) and Sabien expects
to recognise revenues of £0.37m for H1 24 (H1 23: £0.24m). While M2G is
substantially UK-based, the M2G roll-out in selected US markets during October
2023 has produced positive results and further uptake is expected throughout
calendar 2024.

 

Overall, M2G's revenue generation has accelerated materially when compared to
the first half of the 2022/23 financial year. Its sales pipeline is equally
advanced, giving the Company confidence in further material growth in the
2023/24 year.

 

The Company has continued to invest in its core operations and products. M2G's
Cloud Connect solution was launched in early 2023, winning orders and
generating recurring revenue in the period under review. The success of this
launch has enabled the Company to financially support growth and maintain a
positive cash balance.

 

b.grn Group Limited ("b.grn")

 

b.grn, the Special Purpose Vehicle ("SPV") formed by the Company and Parris
Group Limited, has continued to develop its relationship with City Oil Field
("COF") of South Korea and to understand more fully the scope of the market
for plastic-to-fuel products in key geographies. This work is nearing
completion, and COF expects to launch its first commercial site in calendar
2024.

 

Commenting on the trading update, Richard Parris, Executive Chairman of
Sabien, commented:

"The reality of the transition to a green economy is that it is not on/off.
Economies will use mitigation solutions until such time as technology and
infrastructure are capable of supporting an entirely non-fossil fuel world.
Sabien sits at the nexus of this reality, providing continuity while
accelerating the adoption of new strategies.

 

M2G provides customers with the ability to moderate CO2 generation while
effecting cost savings.  It is important to recognise that reducing
emissions, in the millions of kilograms equivalent, is cost as well as energy
efficient. b.grn will allow the conversion of waste plastics into useable fuel
oil, generating economics for all parties in addition to reducing the need for
new oil exploration and production.

 

Sabien's trading in the first half of its current financial year will
demonstrate the success of this strategy.  Our product and service offering
is increasingly diverse, allowing the Company to generate revenue from lower
cost operations. This has improved the market's response and reinforced the
path to profitability.

 

The board of directors looks forward to reporting, in March 2024, the
financial outcome of its first half trading."
