RM Plc (LSE:RM.), the ed-tech group, slipped 10% as it posted lower first-half revenues and higher losses.
In a statement, RM said that contract wins being accounted for in future periods, and uncertainty regarding the timing of a general election, had had an impact, although full-year adjusted operating profit is still expected to match market expectations.
“During FY24 we fully expect to operate within our banking covenants, allowing for working capital and capital expenditure required to fund our future growth plans, alongside continuing interest payments and committed pension contributions," said the group.
Half-year revenue was £79.2 million (£87.6 million in the previous year) with ongoing losses at £6.8 million (£3.1 million previously).
“Looking ahead, we see significant opportunities to expand our use of AI, both to create efficiencies within the business,” said Mark Cook, chief executive.
Shares fell 8.75p to 75p on Tuesday.
