UK rail market conditions are assumed to remain unchanged, with Remote Condition Monitoring hardware volumes continuing to run below historical levels. The Group continues to see a pipeline of rail technology opportunities, though procurement timelines are expected to remain protracted. David Frost, CEO of Tracsis, said: "The Group delivered a first half performance in line with our expectations, showing a significant improvement over H1 FY25. I am pleased with how we are delivering on commitments while making progress in executing our strategy to deliver scalable, long-term growth. The new contract win in North America is an important strategic milestone. Tracsis' Train Dispatch product has been operating successfully since its first deployment in September 2024 and this win, with a different type of operator, provides further validation of the product and addressable demand in the North American market. International diversification is a core component of our growth strategy and we continue to progress a Train Dispatch pipeline in North America, where there is demand for new technology providers although procurement processes can be protracted. Tracsis remains well placed to benefit from long-term structural trends in our end markets. The Railways Bill introduced in November 2025 reinforces the UK government's strategic plans for UK Rail and provides further confidence that our portfolio aligns with the future of the sector. Supported by a robust balance sheet and healthy cash generation, we remain focused on executing our growth transformation strategy, prioritising growth in higher-margin software licence and transactional revenues. As part of this, we continue to review the alignment of our portfolio and explore targeted acquisition opportunities that further strengthen our strategic position." 1 The Company is aware of four analysts publishing independent research.
