Here it is with a link and without spaces.
Valuation of Metir at this early stage of the Microtox® and CTM platform rollout is inherently challenging.
However, we note that the legacy Modern Water business historically generated annual revenues in the £3–4m range. Under a scenario in which the Company successfully scales its installed base and increases the contribution from higher-margin revenues, particularly consumables, QuickChek® SRB kits and CTM deployments, we believe that revenues could expand meaningfully over the medium term into the mid -teens of millions (GBP), with a corresponding expansion in the group gross margin. We have built a model using our own assumptions, not guided by Metir management. On this basis, and subject to the assumptions set out in our model (including a conservative 80% risk adjustment to the figure our DCF produces), we derive a DCF-derived near term fair value of 2.5p per share.

Off the scale potential......
The partnership between Metir plc (AIM: MET) and the $20 billion giant Veralto hits exactly at the weakest link of the PFAS crisis: time.
The Fatal Flaw of Traditional Testing
Until now, discovering PFAS required a slow, grueling bureaucratic loop:
Technicians collect a water sample in California or Delaware.
It is packed, chilled, and shipped to a specialized off-site laboratory.
Weeks pass while waiting for complex liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry testing.
Meanwhile, communities continue drinking the water, and contaminated industrial or agricultural runoff continues flowing into major rivers.
By the time regulators get the data, the environmental damage has already moved downstream.
Why the MET & Veralto Move Matters
Metir's on-site, mobile, and point-of-use testing unit flips the script entirely. Getting accurate readings in minutes instead of weeks changes everything for remediation:
Instant Quarantine: If a water treatment plant or a semiconductor factory detects a PFAS spike, they can shut valves or divert streams instantly, rather than finding out twenty days too late.
Veralto's Massive Engine: Veralto (which holds major water quality and treatment infrastructure brands) has the capital, the client base, and the scale to deploy Metir's mobile detection units across thousands of municipal and industrial sites in the US.
Real-Time Mapping: Paired with modern AI and machine learning software, this on-site tech allows scientists to build live, reactive heat maps of contamination as it happens.

Why Metir's Technology is a Game-Changer for Doha:
The Proof of Concept: Metir has deployed its Continuous Toxic Monitoring Device system in Qatar. This serves as a vital shield for a major capital city, monitoring the water supply for millions of people in real time.
Instantaneous Early Warning: Standard lab testing for water toxins can take days. If an adversary poisons a water supply or a PFAS plume enters a treatment facility, waiting days means a catastrophe. MET’s technology reacts instantly, allowing authorities to isolate contaminated water before it reaches the public.
The PFAS Edge: Metir has been heavily commercializing a unique, proprietary PFAS detection platform. Their breakthrough tech is so advanced that US water giant Veralto recently bought a unit, validating its ability to screen for these complex forever chemicals quickly.
1Billion dollars for PFAS 👇
The United States Environmental Protection Agency releases approximately one billion dollars to help rural communities get rid of "forever chemicals" or PFA's.

The good news MET METIR plc patented water technology is the best technology out there
There is a genuine, documented risk of PFAS and other severe chemical contamination to the Middle East's drinking water supply as a direct consequence of the war in Iran.
Military conflict inherently relies on materials that are heavily laden with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), often called "forever chemicals" because they do not naturally break down and can accumulate in the human body and the environment

3 million buy printed after hours £25k
Yes the fact SRB has been unable to be produced in volume isn't ideal as they keep asserting there is significant demand and its their current highest margin product..
Need to remember that these technologies were developed over many years by Microsaic (spectrometer) and ModernWater (toxicity detectors) after many millions had been spent; their problem was that the running expenses always exceeded by revenues; if not mistaken, MWater was bought by DVRG a few years back for a few million in shares; however I was a bit dissappointed by Bob mentioning that SRB kits are still out of production since December.
Feels like if SRB and CTM can ramp up n H2 of this year that we could get to that FCF inflexion point. If there was another significant order and procurement finance could be obtained then even better. Would be a great place to be with a FCF positive core business and PFAS + Toxic monitoring with huge upside. That is certainly not a £3m market cap group. IMHO

Sorry 25 March rns deals with Quatar...
Nick.
Bob said in the presentation that SRB issued should be sorted in Q3 and reiterated that they have significant demand for this product. He has previously said that it's their highest margin product. So that should help the FCF inflexion point.
He also said that Quatar would be coming on line in Q3 and I wasn't sure what that was about as I thought it was on line?
Management can avoid a raise if they use project finance (against machines) to scale. Whether they are able to do this is open.
However a rise need not be seen as negative given i) the huge upsides for the verticals Metir is in and targeting, each one $1bn in SAM, ii) if any raise is part of monetising these opportunities ie value accretive.
CEO Bob Moore has also expressed determination to avoid any further raise where possible. We also need to consider that Metir is in touching distance of FCF inflection if they can sell more machines etc
Hadn't come across this company before but I work in the chemicals industry so sounds fairly interesting.
Long term prospects maybe good but currently sub scale and high likelihood of needing to raise additional cash. Have the management team discussed funding plans to reach scale?
Where is P2R who was pumping this all day yesterday, he has since disappeared bet he’s sold out while sucking people in.
Hope newbies didn’t get spiked.

Wizard of Windsor
Jun 04, 2026
In my May 21st analysis I highlighted that Metir was potentially on the cusp of transformational change. You may wish to revisit the article for an explanation of what the company does and what its strategy is before we dive in to today’s news.
The company’s update today has not only validated that assessment but also provided us with developments that materially change the Wizard’s upside for the shares and risk assessment of the company. Metir has taken 5 impressive steps forward to establishing itself as a player in the fast-growing water detection market and, for shareholders, towards the critical moment of Free Cash Flow inflection.

Let’s run through what each key development really means and why each one represents a major step forward…
First commercial sale of the PFAS detector unit to Veralto Corp
Metir has sold its first mobile LC-MS PFAS detector (on a lease-to-purchase basis) to Nasdaq-listed Veralto (NYSE: VLTO), the US$20 billion global water-quality giant best known for its Hach brand.
This isn’t a tiny pilot order — the unit is going straight into Veralto’s real commercial water operations for evaluation, with the clear intention of potentially licensing or distributing the technology through its massive global network. But note: this is still a trial.
Veralto is a massive conglomerate with over 250 operations in 60+ countries. Hach, Veralto’s Water Quality subsidiary contracting directly with Metir, has turnover of approximately $3.1bn and over 125,000 customers.
Consider this for a moment. A $20bn global water and enovironmental giant has just come along and acquired a PFAS detector unit from a £3m MCAP UK tiddler for less than $100k. I mean, why bother?
This is not likely to end here. Any next step could open the door to those 125,000 customers, or result in a takeover.
At this stage we can be sure that real revenue is now on the table and Metir has just secured the ultimate third-party stamp of approval from one of the biggest players in the industry. This de-risks the entire PFAS platform overnight and opens a ready-made sales channel to thousands of customers worldwide. Verdict: win for shareholders.
Full proprietary ownership of the PFAS testing IP transferred in principle from Swansea University
Metir has now reached agreement in principle to receive 100% ownership of the intellectual property for its mobile LC-MS PFAS measurement method after a three-and-a-half-year collaboration.
Once finalised, this means Metir will own the technology outright. So no more sharing royalties or worrying about university control. This strengt

This strengthens Metir’s negotiating position with partners like Veralto and removes a major overhang that had been sitting over the whole project. Another win for shareholders.
UK field-testing agreement signed with ProDecon Services
A formal agreement has been reached with one of the UK’s leading PFAS decontamination specialists to start live field testing in Q3 2026.
ProDecon will put the Metir unit to work on real clean-up jobs — mainly decontaminating old firefighting foam systems (AFFF) at airports, military bases, fire stations and industrial sites.

· First commercial sale of a PFAS detector unit to Nasdaq-listed Veralto, a US$20 billion market cap global leader in essential water and product quality solutions in the US, demonstrating the capability of Metir's unique technology.
With 443.24m shares in issue, its going to take alot more good news to move us up; especially when we have very little buyers on a normal day. We could do with a big investment on market to give us the boost we need
Semiconductor industry
The PFAS DilemmaChip manufacturing cannot function without PFAS (used in specialized coatings and etching).Strict new UK, EU, and US limits mean fabs must strictly monitor their wastewater output.
The Cost of DowntimeLegacy lab testing for PFAS can take days or weeks to return results.Fabs lose roughly $100,000 to $1,000,000 per hour if they have to pause operations due to an environmental leak.
Semiconductor industry
Water IntensityA single modern mega-fab uses up to 5 million gallons of Ultra-Pure Water daily.Even a tiny trace of contamination ruins millions of dollars in silicon wafers.
The semiconductor industry is facing a quiet but severe crisis when it comes to water and chemicals, which makes rapid testing technologies incredibly valuable.
To put the scale of this opportunity into perspective, it helps to understand the massive pressure the microchip industry is under right now.

Metir shares rise as it advances PFAS detection platform
Thu, 04th Jun 2026 10:47
Sharecast News
(Sharecast News) - Metir said on Thursday that it had made several strategic advances in the commercial development of its proprietary PFAS detection platform, including its first commercial sale in the US, UK field-testing plans, artificial intelligence integration work and full ownership of related testing intellectual property.
The AIM-traded water and environmental monitoring technology company said it had completed the first commercial sale of a PFAS detector unit to Nasdaq-listed Veralto, a US water and product quality solutions group with a market capitalisation of about $20bn.
The transaction was structured on a lease-to-purchase basis.
Metir said the system was expected to be deployed within Veralto's water quality operations to evaluate its performance in commercial applications and its potential for broader market deployment to Veralto's global client base.
The company also said it was assessing commercial development opportunities with ProDecon Services, a UK PFAS decontamination specialist, for field testing of its PFAS detection platform.
The joint programme was expected to start in the third quarter of 2026 and would generate operational data to support further optimisation of the platform and potential commercial development in the UK remediation and decontamination market.
Metir has also signed a memorandum of understanding with Spain-based FIDCHEM, a developer of water treatment technologies targeting PFAS and other environmental contaminants.
Under the agreement, the companies will evaluate each other's PFAS technologies, primarily for the European market, and explore the integration of FIDCHEM's machine learning software with Metir's testing platform.
The company said the AI and machine learning functionality was intended to simplify data output and interpretation, reducing the level of specialist expertise required to operate the platform and enabling wider field deployment.
Metir also said it had agreed with Swansea University to transfer full

Bob had mentioned "several Water cos" so maybe Severn is paying to test the first prototype but others will follow suit; he did mention that they have built several prototypes in anticipation, MET just needs Phase II to be completed; Q2 end was the target for compeltion, so we will see soon if this will be extended into the summer.
Thanks. Very helpful. It was just Bob talked at length in the March presentation about the outbreak in 2024 in South Devon and its in the news today and I wondered if they would have been a natural potential partner who might have been evaluating the tech.
Our challenge is with Severn Trent Water. "Ofwat Breakthrough Challenge for Cryptosporidium" as well; deadline is Aug. 2028 so MET could have a head start in early Jan for commercial deployment (see 2nd half of page 3).

South West Water to partner on seven new innovation projects to tackle pollution and improve river health
1 June, 2026
South West Water is partnering on seven new projects designed to help tackle some of the biggest environmental and operational challenges facing the water sector.
The projects have been awarded funding through the Ofwat Innovation Fund’s sixth Water Breakthrough Challenge.
Together, they will explore how new technologies, data and nature-based solutions can improve river health, reduce pollution, strengthen resilience and support a lower-carbon future.
Working with partners across the UK, South West Water will help develop and trial innovative approaches to improving water quality and resilience, from advanced data and monitoring tools to nature-based treatment solutions.
Carolyn Cadman, Chief Sustainability and Natural Resources Officer at South West Water, said:
“It is brilliant to be involved in such a wide range of innovation projects, especially those which are looking to nature and natural processes to solve our carbon and water management challenges.”
The projects include:
Open Catchment Intelligence, Insights and Integration (OCI³) – developing AI-powered tools to identify pollution risks and improve understanding of river catchments
Mycofiltration – trialling fungi-based filtration systems to remove pollutants from water
Smart Watch – using satellite technology to detect emerging risks to water quality
I’m a P-Leaver – exploring new ways to remove phosphorus and PFAS from wastewater and agricultural run-off
Smart Alarm Management – using AI to improve how operational alarms are managed during incidents
SI12 Challenge – investigating lower-carbon and less disruptive approaches to renewing water infrastructure
Splitting Biogas, Multiplying Value – exploring how wastewater biogas can be converted into hydrogen and graphene
Lauren Isbister, Mainstreaming Nature Based Solutions Project Manager at South West Water, is leading on three of the projects and said she’s excited to get started.
“We’re delighted that seven projects we are partnering on have been awarded funding. Innovation is essential to helping the water sector respond to some of the biggest environmental and operational challenges we face,” Lauren said.
“These projects bring together expertise from across industry, academia and environmental organisations to develop and test new approaches that could improve river health, strengthen resilience and support a more sustainable future for our region and the wider sector.”
The Ofwat Innovation Fund’s Water Breakthrough Challenge supports projects across England and Wales aimed at improving water quality, reducing pollution and accelerating innovation across the sector.

I have a feeling that SRB kits' sales will be the pleasant surprise; Bob did mention in March's presentation that someone in Saudi Arabia had asked for as many kits as there were available; so, if they have sorted the production issues out, using a more cost-efficient process, then there is great potential.
Yup, good to see. Expecting good things over the next 12 months.
Small but steady volumes, it seems like we will get the AFS next week.
Hopefully more to follow if good update tomorrow or Friday morning.
