AIM - LOSERS

RA International Group PLC, down 16% at 41.24p, 12-month range 27.2p-72.5p. The remote site services provider notes a further escalation in hostile activity in the Cabo Delgado province, northern Mozambique, near to where the company's operations are based. Says security concerns, compounded by the pandemic and extreme weather, have led to delays to the overall energy related project in the region and to the suspension of its contract to build and operate an 1,800-person camp, where an extension of the initial two-year tenancy contract is under negotiation. "Given the escalation in hostilities in the area in recent days, the directors of the company now expect there will be further delays in the project that are likely to impact on the overall financial performance of the company in the current financial year. This impact is expected, at the current time, to be up to USD10 million of revenue, which the directors expect will now be recognised in a later financial period," says Chief Executive Soraya Narfeldt.
