CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Capital Management

 

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors monitors (loss)/earnings per share as a measure of performance, which the Group defines as (loss)/profit after tax divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue.

 

Fair Values

 

The table below sets out the Group’s classification of each class of financial assets/liabilities, their fair values and under which valuation method they are valued:

For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

 

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: valuation techniques for which the lowest level of inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

 

Level 3: valuation techniques for which the lowest level of inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are not based on observable market data.

The valuation techniques used for instruments categorised as level 2 are described below:

 

The fair values of the options associated with the exchangeable notes are calculated in consultation with third-party valuation specialists due to the complexity of their nature. There are a number of inputs utilised in the valuation of the options, including share price, historical share price volatility, risk-free rate and the expected borrowing cost spread over the risk-free rate.

 

Financial Risk Management

 

The Group uses a range of financial instruments (including cash, finance leases, receivables, payables and derivatives) to fund its operations. These instruments are used to manage the liquidity of the Group. Working capital management is a key additional element in the effective management of overall liquidity. The Group does not trade in financial instruments or derivatives. The main risks arising from the utilization of these financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

 

 Interest rate risk

 

As of December 31, 2025, all of the Group’s financial instruments referencing interest rates are based on SOFR, a post-reform benchmark rate. The Group no longer has exposure to interest rate benchmarks subject to IBOR reform; therefore, the disclosure requirements related to benchmark interest rate reform are not applicable.

1 The maturity of the exchangeable notes is based on the contractual maturity date of April 1, 2045.

2 The senior secured term loan is a variable instrument. In January 2024, the amended term loan agreement reduced the annual rate of interest on the loan by 2.5% to 8.75% plus the greater of (a) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate or (b) 4.0% per annum, and allows for a further 2.5% reduction in the base rate to 6.25% once the outstanding principal under the term loan falls below US$35 million. On 22 December 2025, the Group entered a further amendment of its senior secured term loan facility with Perceptive. The terms of the amendment were assessed under IFRS 9 and determined to result in a substantial modification of the existing financial liability. The loan has a contractual maturity in January 2027 under the new modified loan terms.

3 The 7-year convertible note was issued in May 2022 and is a fixed rate instrument which bears a fixed rate of interest of 1.5% per annum.

 

In broad terms, a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would increase interest income by US$Nil (2024: US$Nil) as at December 31, 2025 the Company holds no funds in interest-bearing accounts; while the annual impact on the interest expense would be an increase of US$1,080,000 (2024: US$724,000) on the costs of servicing the senior secured term loan.

 Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

 

The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024 would not affect profit or loss. There was no significant difference between the fair value and carrying value of the Group’s trade receivables and trade and other payables at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 as all fell due within 6 months.

Foreign exchange risk

 

The majority of the Group’s activities are conducted in US Dollars. Foreign exchange risk arises from the fluctuating value of the Group’s Euro denominated expenses as a result of the movement in the exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Euro. There were no forward contracts in place as at December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis is based on the Group’s foreign currency exposures at the reporting date and assumes a 10% movement in the US Dollar against the Euro. The analysis includes monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Euro at the reporting date and assumes that exchange rate changes occur at the period-end and are applied to the net exposure. Non-monetary items and future forecast transactions are excluded. The analysis assumes that all other variables, including interest rates, remain constant. The analysis does not incorporate interdependencies between variables, such as interest rate effects on exchange rates, and is not based on a value-at-risk model.

 

The objective of this analysis is to assess the potential impact of reasonably possible changes in exchange rates on the Group’s profit or loss and equity, based on exposures at the reporting date. The analysis reflects only monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and does not include future transactions or embedded derivatives. The analysis has inherent limitations, as it is based on a hypothetical movement in a single variable (foreign exchange rate) and assumes all other variables remain constant. It does not consider the potential interdependence between risk factors (such as changes in interest rates or inflation), nor does it reflect management’s dynamic hedging activities or the potential impact on fair value from market volatility occurring after the reporting date.

 

Credit Risk

 

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses and recognizes a lifetime expected credit loss allowance. A receivable is considered credit-impaired when it is more than 120 days past due or when there is evidence of significant financial difficulty. The Group maintains specific provisions for potential credit losses. To date such losses have been within management’s expectations. Due to the large number of customers and the geographical dispersion of these customers, the Group has no significant concentrations of accounts receivable.

 

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group’s management considers that all of the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the 31 December reporting dates under review are of good credit quality.

 

The Group maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. The Group performs regular and detailed evaluations of these financial institutions to assess their relative credit standing. The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

The Group considers that the credit risk of a financial asset may have increased since initial recognition when it is more than 30 days past due, unless there is evidence to the contrary. As at December 31, 2025, all trade receivables past due more than 30 days were assessed for changes in credit risk since initial recognition. Based on this assessment:

 

          Receivables past due between 31 and 120 days are not automatically considered to have an increased credit risk unless other qualitative indicators are present (e.g., known financial difficulty, adverse changes in circumstances, etc.).

          Receivables past due more than 120 days are generally considered to have a higher credit risk and are assessed for lifetime expected credit losses.

 

The Group applies a simplified approach in measuring expected credit losses which uses a provision matrix based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

 

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:

The allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the account owing is possible. At this point the amount is considered irrecoverable and is written off against the financial asset directly.

 

The Group does not provide financing to customers as a main business activity and therefore is not required to present credit risk exposure disclosures by credit risk grade.
