AGM and Trading Update

Trading Update and AGM Statement

FADEL (AIM: FADL), a global leader in AI-driven brand compliance and licensing software, today provides the following update ahead of its Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), which will be held later today.

Trading Update

The Company remains on track to achieve its full-year revenue guidance of $12.0M - $12.9M and its adjusted EBITDA loss target, which is expected to fall between -$1.0 million and -$0.8 million, consistent with market expectations. Cash at year-end is expected to be in the range of $0.8 million to $1.0 million, ahead of our previous guidance, reflecting continued discipline in collections and cost management. The Company believes that it will have sufficient cash through the end of 2026 without having to access its available $1.0 million line of credit, which remains undrawn.

For the 9 months ended 30 September 2025, the Company had secured eight new customers, including Ferrero, Handcraft Manufacturing, Synaptics, Viz Media, and Zak! Designs. New customer contracts and upsells to existing clients contributed approximately $0.8 million in incremental recurring license annual contract value and $1.0 million in non-recurring service revenue. These wins broaden the Group's customer base and enhance the visibility of future recurring license revenues.

Innovation & AI Development

On the innovation front, we are making strong progress with the much-anticipated general availability release of the Product Approval module (currently in Beta release) in early January 2026, offering brand governance solutions for merchandise, trademark and logo licensors. In addition, FADEL has now productized several integrated Generative AI capabilities into our existing IPM Suite and Brand Vision product lines, from leading vendors - Amazon, Meta and OpenAI. These AI features include AI Predictive Analytics, AI Vision for Media Identification and Matching and an in-application AI Chatbot, designed to deliver greater automation, intelligence, and efficiency for our clients. In 2026, we will be releasing several AI Agents through the Amazon Marketplace and based on the Amazon AWS Bedrock Agentic AI platform. AI Contract Ingest and AI Product Approval Reviewer agents are planned for release in H1 2026, while additional AI Agents are planned for release in H2 2026.

We believe these AI Agents will strengthen our product offering, increase our recurring revenue and further differentiate FADEL in the licensing and brand compliance and governance marketplace. Further details on these developments were set out in press releases issued on 2 October 2025 (click here), 9 October 2025 (click here) and 13 October 2025  (click here).

Strategic Review

As previously announced earlier in the year, the Board initiated a process to explore strategic options for the business, aiming to unlock additional value for shareholders. Several expressions of interest were received; however, none presented a combination of value, structure and certainty which the Board could recommend to shareholders. Following a full assessment, the Board has concluded the process.

FADEL will continue to focus on executing its organic growth strategy - expanding the customer base, maintaining investment in product development, with a keen focus on Agentic AI solutions, growing licensing recurring revenue streams, and maintaining strict cost management.

AGM

The resolutions set out in the Notice of AGM will be put to shareholders today. The results of the AGM will be announced in due course.
