Tue, 19th Jul 2022 20:01

(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News:

----------

Destiny Pharma PLC - Brighton-based clinical-stage biotechnology company - Receives positive feedback from US Food & Drug Administration on the proposed phase 3 study design and development programme for XF-73 Nasal gel. XF-72 is being studied for the treatment post-surgical staphylococcal infections, including MRSA. The positive feedback from the FDA means Destiny can simplify the phase 3 study deisgn, which will shorten the overall clinical development program in the US.

----------

Northcoders Group PLC - Manchester-based training programmes for software coding - Says revenue is in line with management expectations in the six months to June 30, with underlying profitability ahead of expectations. Revenue rises to GBP2.3 million from GBP1.0 million year-on-year, with revenue visibility for the whole of the year at GBP5.4 million, or 83% of market expectations. "The strong performance of the group in the year to date gives the board confidence to invest additional funds in the second half of the year to support the anticipated growth in 2023, which is expected to result in the overall profitability for 2022 being in line with market expectations," the firm explains.

----------

Capital Ltd - mining services company - In the first half of 2022, revenue is up 40% at USD138.1 million compared to USD98.1 million a year before, as average utilised rigs rise 27% to 93 compared to 73 a year ago. Notes strong demand with outlook remaining supportive. Maintains revenue guidance for the full year of USD270 million to USD280 million, compared to USD226.8 million in 2021. Will release full financial results for the first half on August 18.

----------

Haydale Graphene Industries PLC - Ammanford, Wales-based graphene technology company - Expects revenue ahead of expectations at GBP2.9 million for year ended June 30, with gross profit of GBP1.7 million and loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of GBP3.4 million behind prior guidance. "As previously indicated, the commercial momentum from the second half of the Year is expected to accelerate into the new financial year with both an increased customer and product portfolio contributing to this. Against this increase, the annualised impact of the investment in sales, marketing, quality and production resource during FY2022 alongside the inflationary cost pressures we are seeing at our operating units will partly offset the expected uplift in revenue at the LBITDA level," the firm says.

----------

Dev Clever Holdings PLC - software developer for immersive learning and career guidance - Terminates agreement with Aldebaron DMCC after mutual agreement. The agreement was strategic partnership to accelerate rollout plan in Asia, agreed last June, which later the parties mulled turning into a joint venture, before deciding to terminate it. "This releases Aldebaron from the balance of its revenue obligations and returns the distribution rights for the Asian territories to Dev Clever," the firm explains. Says the decision will retain its global rights, which can be used to enter into individual agreements with international partners. Discussions have already begun, Dev Clever says. Expects to release delayed results for financial 2021 in August. Separately, in the six months to April 30, it expects to report revenue of around GBP3.3 million, up 38% year-on-year from GBP2.4 million. "The group continues to benefit from a strong pipeline and is confident of delivering substantial growth in the second half of the current financial year," the firm says.
