Firstly, it’s getting a bit strange how much time you spend obsessing over me and a share you’re not even invested in. I presume you’ve noticed the stock price reflects broader sector sentiment—not just ITM’s performance—or do you skip tracking the sector and just fixate on our investment?
Now, let’s clear up why the results are strong:
Revenue: £15.2m, the strongest six-month performance ever. Does it even occur to you that revenue would be closer to £30m-£40m if we were paid as we build, as outlined in the last results? ITM only books revenue once systems are delivered and commissioned—it’s standard practice. So, while Neptune V and other projects grow the pipeline, their full revenue impact will be realised later, not upfront.
Improved margins and cash flow: EBITDA loss guidance tightened positively, and year-end cash now forecasted at £170m-£180m, up from £160m-£175m. That’s disciplined execution while scaling operations.
Pipeline growth: NEPTUNE V is driving significant interest, project delivery is on track, and customer expectations are being met. These results pave the way for future contracts and confidence in execution.
A growing pipeline, stronger guidance, and improving financials are exactly what drive institutional confidence. Maybe leave the analysis to those of us who understand the company—and the sector—rather than obsess over something you’re not even invested in.
