Acuity RM Group Plc (AIM:ACRM) shares moved sharply higher in Tuesday's deals after an upbeat year-end trading statement for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The software group said revenue is expected to come in at around £2.1 million, unchanged from 2024, based on unaudited management accounts.
Acuity meanwhile said administrative costs were about £2.2 million, down 27% from £3 million in 2024, and noted that overheads fell throughout the year. By the fourth quarter, annualised overheads were £1.8 million and the group traded profitably in October, November and December.
“We are pleased to report that 2025 was a year in which the new management succeeded in their mission to change and improve the business through focus, leadership and measurement of performance," executive chair Angus Forrest said in the statement.
It was not all positive, however, as Acuity RM added that forward contracted revenue totalled £1.9 million at 31 December 2025, compared with £2.5 million a year earlier, and, it said the release of NextGen STREAM was delayed and is now expected in Q1 2026.
In London, Acuity shares soared some 36% higher to trade at 0.96p.
