Pleased you approve 40 Fathoms.I agree with you, re-the Canadian contract and it was touched on when I spoke with them. I feel they're pretty confident about that following through, particularly given the long term relationship, so another to keep an eye on. The Ajax/GD next phase is intriguing, for PEN, will they-won't they, I guess a conclusion to that one isn't too far away.

Cheers for that. A lot of moving parts here now and particularly interesting growth potential in the US. Aside that, it is hard to see how the next phase of the Ajax programme won't include PEN, as it would be extremely difficult at this stage for another player to step in. Obviously after the last experience with GD PEN are extremely wary and have no doubt laid out their own terms. My take is that is that they certainly won't take it on unless it's lucrative enough and if it doesn't happen, it's neutral as nothing in for it on the forecasts.Obviously there is a it seems a very real desire for PEN to put to paper! Time will tell.

For what it is worth, the house broker has taken its target price up to 65p from 55p but seems to have kept its profit forecasts flat after the 14% upgrade last week.

Final Results for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Continued Positive Trading Momentum;

Full-Year EBITA Profit of GBP0.5m

Transformation of business mix produces significantly increased gross margin;

Further growth in recurring revenues; Robust order book

Pennant International announces its Final Results for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Commenting on the Group's performance, Phil Cotton, Chair, said: " I am pleased to report that the Group has delivered a much-improved performance in the year ended 31 December 2022, with profitability in-line with market expectations despite reduced revenues, achieving an EBITA profit of £0.5m for the year (2021: EBITA loss of £0.8m and an EBITDA profit of £1.0m (2021: EBITDA loss of £0.1m). The improved performance was primarily the result of the progress made towards our technology and software transformation, coupled with the completion of the legacy engineered solution contract. The Group's ongoing focus on increasing revenues from software and technical services is reflected in these results, and generated revenues totalling £10.2m in 2022 (2021: £9.1m)."

For the longer term this is worth keeping an eye on, the AUKUS agreements will see a signficant investment in to the military capabilities in the AUS. I am also sure that the work that can be given to local contractors will be given. Pennant is increadibly well positioned in Australia and I have no doubt in time PEN will pick up a good level of work.

I am a shareholder and am very happy in the jump in today's share price. Is there a new tip or newspaper article recently published

Sale of Pennant Court

Pennant International Group announces that it has exchanged contracts for the sale of its facility known as Pennant Court. With the Group's increasing software focus and reduced reliance on resource-intensive hardware engineering activities, earlier this year the Board commissioned a comprehensive review of the Group's UK facilities. Recognising a reduced requirement for space at its Cheltenham operating sites, the Board decided to market for sale the Group's former Cheltenham head office, Pennant Court. Completion is scheduled for 19 August 2022. Pennant has not entered into any leaseback arrangement in relation to any part of the property and will vacate the site entirely upon completion. The sale price is £2.1m (plus VAT), which will be payable in full, in cash on completion. After transaction expenses, the sale is expected to realise a profit of £0.2m. The Board considers that the sale price fairly reflects Pennant Court's market value.

The sale proceeds will be used to reduce the Group's overdraft, which currently stands at circa £4.2m overdrawn (against a temporary limit of £5m) such that immediately after the sale, the Group expects to be around £2.1m overdrawn against an updated limit of £3m (adjusted for the release of the asset from the bank's security package). The Group expects to realise savings of circa £0.2m pa in respect of running costs related to Pennant Court. The Group will also terminate its office lease in Stevenage this month and is in the early stages of negotiations to surrender another leased premises. The Group will continue to have sufficient facilities to service its order book and pipeline opportunities with 30,000 square feet of retained facilities in Cheltenham alone.

And there it is; Simon T ....

Last two paras....

The disposal of the Cheltenham property alone will wipe a further £0.25mn of annual overheads, adding further weight to WH Ireland’s forecast that pre-tax profit will rise to £1mn on revenue of £18mn in 2023. Reassuringly, Pennant already has £12.9mn of orders booked for delivery in 2023. It’s worth noting, too, that £6.7mn of unused tax losses will benefit future taxable profits and accelerate the earnings recovery.

Pennant’s share price has risen five per cent since my last buy call (‘Pennant̵7;s recovery on track’, 25 January 2022), highlighting strength relative to the FTSE Aim All-Share Total Return index which has lost 12 per cent of its value in the same four-month period. Expect the outperformance to continue. In fact, if contract momentum continues to build, as seems highly likely, then Pennant could even move into an earnings upgrade cycle, a possibility that is certainly not embedded in the group’s modest £13.5mn market capitalisation nor a 2023 price/earnings (PE) ratio of 14. Buy.
