Update: DARA - acquiring US presence in oncology

Midatech closed its all-share acquisition of DARA BioSciences on 7 December (first announced in June), thereby acquiring a presence in the US oncology market via DARAâ€™s 20-strong sales force and portfolio of marketed cancer support products. On 18 December, Midatech announced the acquisition of anti-emetic drug, Zuplenz (from Galena, for $3.75m), a strong fit with DARAâ€™s existing anti-cancer support products. The new Midatech shares are listed as ADRs on NASDAQ on the back of its recent IPO in the US. Our valuation for Midatech, with our calculations now including DARA and Zuplenz, moves to Â£148.3m from Â£134.7m (or 446p/share from 485p/share due to greater share count).

Accsys Technologies - Upgrading guidance for the full year

Accsys Technologies had a strong H125 with a return to revenue growth and gross margin exceeding its target of 30%. Adjusted EBITDA improved on the back of better than expected volume growth from the plant in Arnhem. The company has simplified and de-risked the group through the successful start-up of the plant in the United States and the decision to discontinue the project in Hull. After the good start of the year, Accsys increased guidance for the full year, with underlying profitability expected to improve in H2 as Accoya USA continues to ramp up.

Topps Tiles - Market outperformance again in FY24

Topps Tiles (TPT) has reported a good profit outturn for FY24, ahead of our prior expectations, which is encouraging in the context of the challenging external environment. Management believes the overall revenue decline of 5% means TPT has once again outperformed the market that it estimates to have declined by 10–15%. TPT has made good early progress on the key growth areas under its recently announced Mission 365 strategy, which are expected to drive the bulk of the growth in the medium term. With respect to the outlook for FY25, TPT has returned to positive revenue growth in the first eigh...

Nabaltec - Resilience and margin expansion

Nabaltec recorded revenue growth across the group of 1.5% y-o-y to €158.2m at 9M24, with sales volumes increasing 7.9% y-o-y despite selling prices falling. Functional Fillers revenue grew by 3.8% y-o-y to €114.1m due to strong demand for its viscosity optimised and fine precipitated aluminium hydroxides. Speciality Alumina revenue, however, decreased 4.1% y-o-y, partially offsetting group revenue growth due to a lack of impetus for reactive alumina in the wider market. Group EBIT grew 28.2% y-o-y to €16.8m (10.3% margin), due to higher capacity utilisation and lower costs of materials, energy...
