Bram Goorden, CEO of IXICO, said: "The first half of the 2026 financial year saw strong continued revenue growth driven by new contract wins and extensions, and increased biomarker analysis activity. This momentum, combined with improved operational leverage, has delivered an increase in gross margin while our order book has also grown significantly, providing good visibility of future revenues. While we continue to invest for growth, we have reduced our EBITDA loss year-on-year, demonstrating progress towards profitability. I am also very excited about the recently announced capital raise which aims at deriving increased value from our IXITM platform as a premium technology."
