Strong trading Revenue of £31.7m for Q3 was up 12% on the third quarter of last year, or 14% at constant currency. This was in line with our expectations. Q3 financial highlights: • Subscription revenues: continued strong growth, up 16% on Q3 2024 • Delivery revenues: up 26% versus Q3 2024, with our delivery teams busy across all three regions • Software Engineering revenues: as expected, revenues were down 30% versus a strong Q3 last year. This was due to moving our focus to investment having completed the required customer development to achieve delivery milestones • TCV ended the quarter at a record of £222m, up from £211m at 30 June 2025 and versus £205m at the end of Q3 last year Our focus on tight cost control resulted in lower costs in the period than expected owing to a carefully managed expansion in headcount along with some underspend on travel, conferences and IT costs.

Robust pipeline & TCV Our late-stage pipeline remains strong with a net increase in the number of prospects from seven to eight . We are the preferred supplier for seven of these and have commenced paid work under letters of engagement with five . Since announcing our half year results we have converted a n Equipment OEM in Australia & New Zealand into a win . We have also added two new prospects , an Auto OEM covering a multi- country South American project and a UK high street bank. Overall TCV showed a pleasing increas e in Q3. Delivery TCV benefited from expanded work with existing customers a nd the conversion from the late- stage pipeline of the Equipment OEM noted above. Subscription TCV increased due to a two-year extension to a contract alon g with continued underlying growth in Subscription revenues. Software TCV was lower in the period reflecting the shift in our focus to investment having completed the required customer development to achieve delivery milestones. We are pleased with the overall strength of the pipeline from early stage through to late stage and in all geographies. Focused operational execution In Q3 we completed 10 deliveries, including an A lfa Systems 6 go-live for an existing OEM customer in the Nordics, upgrading from v4. Immediately after the quarter end we also delivered a go- live in New Zealand , further demonstrating our success in working with customers across multiple territories. Conversions to Alfa Systems 6 have continued both effectively and at pace. We now have 14 customers on Alfa Systems 6.

We now have demonstrable software solutions for all three end -markets and we are further encouraged by feedback received during the industry conferences we have attended over the last two months.
