Aferian PLC, down 32% at 8.50p, 12-month range 8.50p-42.00p. In December, Aferian said it expected to report revenue for the full year ended November 30 of around USD47 million to USD48 million the year before. In financial 2022, revenue was USD91.1 million. It also forecasts adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of around USD1.6 million to USD2.6 million. A year ago, it reported adjusted Ebitda of USD14.6 million. It now expects to report revenue and adjusted Ebitda at the lower end of these ranges. Looking ahead, Aferian said: "The 24i video streaming business is making good progress with key new customer deployments and multiple contract extensions being delivered in the first quarter. However, there has been a further deterioration in the trading of the Amino business due to lower than expected orders for video streaming devices as customers have delayed purchasing decisions longer than anticipated."
