Chris Heminway, Executive Chairman of Time To ACT plc said:

"With these results, the Time To ACT group has continued to prove its resilience against a challenging world backdrop.  Large project activity has been delayed globally and yet we have grown sales as promised at the time of the IPO in May 2024.  At that time, we targeted revenue growth of 50% on an expected base-year sales of £1.6m - or sales of £4.0m in total over the two years.  With some sales pulled forward into the first of the two years, we nevertheless exceeded the aggregate target with total sales of £4.2m.  I am very pleased with this performance.  For the currently ongoing financial year, we have found replacement revenues to offset certain Large Parts project delays and therefore currently see no reason to revise our target of £3.5m of sales."

Business review

 

Turnover for the year ended 31 March 2025 was £2,281,394. This represents growth of 21% compared to underlying turnover for 2024 of £1,891,066. In the first half of the year Diffusion Alloys executed a Large Parts contract for the Hydrogen sector which significantly contributed to the growth and overall turnover within the group. Hydrogen sector revenues form a material and growing percentage of the turnover base. From 2022 to 2025 the Compound Annual Growth Rate ('CAGR') in underlying turnover was 39%.

 

Gross profit in 2025 was £1,073,590 with a margin of 47% compared to 2024 where gross profit was £820,039 with a margin of 43%. Margin increase can be contributed to improved coverage of the fixed element of direct labour and the increase in the overall percentage of turnover related to the Large Parts business of Diffusion Alloys.

 

The Group EBITDA, adjusted for IPO related exceptional costs, was a loss of £618,741 in 2025 and loss of £888,374 in 2024. The improvement is due to the increased gross margin. The Board of Directors are pleased with progress but are keen to move into a sustainable breakeven, and indeed positive, EBITDA position.

 

Closing cash in the Group was £964,555. A reduction of £923,349 from the opening balance of £1,887,904. In addition to cash used in operations, the Group continued to invest in capital equipment such as £132,359 in preparation for an expected material increase in Hydrogen sector revenues. This preparation and capital investment is largely complete. The Group also continued to invest with £55,993 (2024: £73,128) in the progress of patents related to the GreenSpur Axial Flux Generator Technology. The ongoing cost of patent expenditure is expected to decrease given the breadth and progress of the current patent position.

 

In May 2024, Time To ACT plc listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange. On Admission, 1,384,645 new Ordinary shares were issued at 40p per share due to the conversion of existing convertible loans and 80,000 new Ordinary shares were issued at 50p per share. The loan conversion benefitted the Group by removing £553,858, plus future interest, of loan repayments from the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

Time To ACT plc sees Aquis as its entry point to the public markets and an important milestone in creating a permanent capital vehicle and value for its new and existing shareholders.

 

Outlook

The Group continues to work on growing its cleantech customer base and moving towards breakeven. Strategic partnerships and deals continue to be a focus as a way to create value.

About Time To ACT plc

Time To ACT plc is an engineering-led group focused on technology for the energy transition supply chain. It currently has two principal operating businesses: Diffusion Alloys and GreenSpur. As the parent company of the Group, Time To ACT provides strategic and operational support to the operating companies and capital to enable their growth.

 

About Diffusion Alloys 

Diffusion Alloys supplies diffusion coatings. A diffusion coating is an intermetallic layer that protects metal components from degradation at high temperatures and in highly corrosive environments, such as those found in hydrogen and nuclear energy generation.

 

Diffusion Alloys has joined forces with Johnson Matthey plc, the market leaders in synthesis gas ("syngas") with a significant pipeline of Blue Hydrogen projects, to scale-up production and address the increasing demand for low carbon hydrogen used to reduce global carbon emissions.

 

In addition to working for numerous historic and existing customers, the Directors believe that Diffusion Alloys is the only credible diffusion coater in the world for blue hydrogen components, has already been coating in volume for a leading European vendor in the green hydrogen space and is also in pre-commercial discussions with new cleantech equipment manufacturers.

 

Diffusion Alloys has two distinct areas of focus:

·    Coating Technology: Selling technical excellence in coating capability supported by the concept of "flexible capacity" - the ability to provide customers with capacity wherever they need it, whether for the coating of Large Parts or Small Parts.

·    Coating Services: Plant-led coatings business centred on its Middlesbrough site.

 

About GreenSpur

GreenSpur is an intellectual property creator and generator designer that has developed a credible solution for renewable energy applications to the Rare Earth magnet problem.

 

Magnets constructed using Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are fundamental components in electrical generators and electric vehicle motors which are critical to delivering the clean energy transition. However, there are substantial supply chain constraints and risks in the sourcing of REEs that are needed for these magnets.

 

GreenSpur's generator design eliminates the need for Rare Earth magnets and copper coils without any loss in electrical performance.
