Atrato Partners on Social Housing REIT (SOHO): strategy, debt and dividend outlook

Atrato Partners, the newly appointed Investment Manager of Social Housing REIT (SOHO) talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the current state of the specialised supported housing sector and how the company is tackling key challenges within its portfolio. Fund manager Adrian D'Enrico was joined by Michael Carey and Natalie Markham, offering a comprehensive update on SOHO’s operational and financial performance. D'Enrico addressed common misconceptions about the sector, clarifying that it is not temporary or homeless accommodation, but instead provides long-term homes for adults with care needs. “A misconception as well is that specialised supported housing is a passive investment based on the long lease,” he explained, underlining the importance of resident occupancy and the operational real estate nature of the assets. Carey detailed the steps taken to resolve issues with Parasol and My Space Housing Solutions, including lease transfers to stronger providers, which are expected to improve rent collection. “We’ve collected 72% of the contracted amount so far with Westmoreland, and we’re confident we’ll meet our target,” he said. Markham reviewed the FY24 results, noting that while net tangible assets declined to £0.99 per share, rent collection stood at 93% and the company maintains strong debt metrics with an average maturity of 8.6 years and a 2.74% all-in cost.

AI translation tech: Straker CEO talks IBM partnership

Straker Ltd CEO Grant Straker talked with Proactive at AIM"S Small and Midcap Conference about how the company is leveraging artificial intelligence to reshape the global language services industry. Straker explained how the business evolved from early content management systems into a leading AI-powered translation platform over the last 15 years. The company focuses on blending machine learning with human expertise to deliver high-quality, cost-effective language services. A key milestone has been the integration of its platform by IBM, which now uses Straker’s technology for all its internal translations. “They’ve gone from a multi-vendor traditional model to just us,” Straker said, highlighting how the move has streamlined IBM’s operations while reducing costs. He also discussed the company's proprietary "Terry" language model and its innovative quality estimation* system. This tool evaluates translated content for accuracy, determining whether it needs human review—improving efficiency and boosting gross margins. Straker outlined a clear investor case, emphasizing three pillars: financial strength, innovation, and global distribution. The company is targeting revenues of AUD 45 million for the year, with no debt, AUD 12 million in cash, and annual R&D investment of AUD 7 million. With operations in ten countries and strategic alignment with IBM’s AI stack, Straker positioned the company as well-placed to scale quickly through operating leverage in AI. #AI #StrakerLtd #GrantStraker #LanguageTech #TranslationAI #IBMPartnership #ArtificialIntelligence #InvestorUpdate #MachineTranslation #TechStocks #ASXStocks #TerryModel #QualityEstimation #ProactiveInvestors #SmallCapASX

Newmark Security CEO on growth drivers, expanding D2E model globally

Newmark Security PLC CEO Marie-Claire Dwek talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s latest trading update, which highlighted stronger revenue performance in the second half of the financial year. Dwek said the growth was primarily driven by the Human Capital Management (HCM) division, especially in North America, where both hardware and service-related sales have increased. She explained, “The more clocks we sell, the more recurring revenue we sell, the more services we sell.” This growth model is being further supported by a Direct to End user approach, with active integrations already in place with Oracle and Workday, and further development underway with SAP. Dwek also spoke about their efforts to diversify, including moves into lower-cost market segments, which are typically dominated by Chinese manufacturers. This allows Newmark to capture new customer groups while maintaining service-based revenue opportunities. Outside North America, Newmark continues to see growth in Europe, citing customers like Marks & Spencer and Protime. The company is also building pipeline opportunities in collaboration with Oracle and is working on exclusivity in North America with one partner. Dwek described this as “a whole new market for us that was previously untapped.” For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

Light Science Technologies CEO on Injecta Fire Barrier solution to UK's unsafe cladding dilemma

Light Science Technologies Holdings PLC (AIM:LST) CEO Simon Deacon talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the significant opportunity surrounding the company’s Injecta Fire Barrier solution, particularly in light of ongoing fire safety issues in the UK’s residential building sector. Deacon highlighted that the UK still has more than 33,000 buildings between 11m and 18m in height, and over 11,000 high-risk buildings above 18m, that require urgent fire protection measures. He referenced a government estimate suggesting a potential £22 billion cost to address the cladding crisis, which has persisted since the Grenfell tragedy. The Injecta Fire Barrier, acquired in late 2023, offers what Deacon described as a "unique solution"—one that avoids facade removal by injecting fire-resistant material directly into cavities, providing over two hours of fire resistance. He said, "We're three times less in cost and much quicker to install than traditional methods." He noted the division secured £2.7 million in orders during 2024, performing strongly and receiving positive feedback for its efficiency and clean delivery. With an average order value over £500,000 and significant market scope, Deacon framed the opportunity as a scalable revenue driver for the group. The company is targeting £50 million in revenue over the next five years, with Injecta Fire Barrier expected to be a key growth driver. 👉 For more updates, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.
