Shares in Eneraqua Technologies PLC (AIM:ETP) dropped 34% on Monday after the company flagged cashflow pressures caused by delayed client payments and postponed energy projects, despite confirming that full-year results will be in line with expectations.
The group expects to report revenue of £63 million and adjusted profit before tax in line with market forecasts.
It pointed to a key £7 million contract in its water division, involving the installation of its Control Flow HL2024 technology to generate nutrient credits, with payments linked to upcoming housing developments.
However, management said that recent delays in client payments and the deferral of some energy projects have put a strain on the company’s balance sheet and supply chain.
Eneraqua is monitoring its working capital closely and said its invoice finance provider remains supportive.
It is also exploring options for short-term funding and expects to raise £1 million from a non-core asset sale.
The stock fell 9.9p to 19.1p.
