Trading has been challenging for Pennant as it repositions to offer its customers more software and technical services, primarily in the product lifecycle management vertical. Over time these activities should generate more recurring, repeatable and predictable revenues, combined with higher margins.

Part of the reason for increased H1 losses was the up-front costs to support new activities and contracts....
Pennant has provided a brief trading update for H1. Revenue will be £4.5m against £7.4m in H124 (-39.2%), partly reflecting the pivot from legacy product areas to more software and services, which now account for 88% of sales.
