Nice bounce for RIBT. Looks like 1.00 is coming soon :o) That also corresponds to the 50 MA (1.07 and falling), so it should be a good test of the strength of this rebound. Maybe some good news flow and press releases coming soon also? ---

S&U reports record year for Aspen Bridging as Advantage Motor Finance gets back on track

S&U PLC chairman Anthony Coombs takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's full-year results to the end of January 2025. Despite regulatory headwinds in its Advantage Motor Finance division, the company reported stable revenue, with record results from its Aspen Bridging arm. Coombs highlighted the impact of an FCA Section 166 investigation, which added approximately £1.5 million in costs and prompted an £11 million increase in provisions. While these factors significantly reduced profitability in the motor finance business, he expressed confidence that such challenges would not repeat in the coming year. "We've dealt with our customers in a responsible and... Christian-like manner," Coombs said, reflecting on the company's values-driven approach to business. He also noted that internal morale, temporarily shaken during the FCA review, was now recovering strongly. In contrast, the Aspen Bridging division achieved record revenue, profit, and transaction levels. Launched in 2017 to meet demand for bridging and small development finance, the division has proven to be a strategically sound addition to S&U's portfolio. Looking ahead, Coombs expressed cautious optimism for the UK economic landscape, suggesting that interest rates might stabilise. He emphasised the importance of robust underwriting as a defence against economic uncertainty, saying the company has weathered similar conditions in the past eight years.

The Vaccine Group teams up with animal health giant Syva on breakthrough pig vaccine

Jeremy Salt, CEO of The Vaccine Group (TVG), a Frontier IP Group PLC portfolio company, talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s collaboration with global animal health firm Syva. Salt explained that the partnership focuses on developing a vaccine for Streptococcus suis, a major disease in pigs that also contributes significantly to the use of antibiotics in livestock farming. “One of the key aspects of this collaboration with them is that they have a significant gap in their portfolio of products for pigs,” Salt noted. He emphasised that Streptococcus suis is prevalent in around 60% of European countries and impacts pig farming worldwide, with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) being a critical concern. The zoonotic nature of the disease, particularly in Southeast Asia, adds another layer of urgency to develop effective solutions. Salt highlighted that TVG’s vaccine platform provides broader protection across multiple strains, making it potentially globally applicable. The vaccine can be administered to young piglets, which is strategically important and is also expected to be more cost-effective than conventional options. He also discussed the role of UK government support, with Innovate UK and DEFRA grants contributing around £1 million in funding. The company is also progressing with 12 vaccine candidates, including developments in poultry and biotherapeutics delivery using monoclonal antibodies.

EnWave expands partnership with MicroDried through new equipment deal and license amendment

EnWave Corporation CEO Brent Charleton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant expansion of the company’s long-standing relationship with MicroDried, its original royalty partner and a leader in premium fruit and vegetable ingredient production. The announcement includes the signing of an Equipment Purchase Agreement and License Amendment, under which MicroDried will acquire an additional 60kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) machine to increase production capacity in response to rising demand for its clean-label, nutrient-rich ingredients. MicroDried currently operates three large-scale REV™ dehydration lines at its facility in Nampa, Idaho. Charleton emphasized MicroDried’s extensive portfolio and deep integration with leading global consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands. In addition to the new equipment purchase, the license amendment grants MicroDried exclusive rights to produce apple-based ingredients using REV™ technology within Washington, Oregon, and Idaho—further entrenching its leadership in vertically integrated, value-added fruit processing. As part of the agreement, MicroDried also holds an option to purchase a second additional 60kW REV™ machine before July 31, 2025. Should that option be exercised, a pre-negotiated bulk discount will apply—an incentive that supports long-term production scalability. With demand for shelf-stable, nutritious ingredients continuing to rise across the global food industry, this expanded partnership underscores the value of EnWave’s proprietary dehydration technology and its ability to power efficient, high-quality production at scale. #proactiveinvestors #enwavecorporation #tsxv #enw #DehydrationTech #VacuumMicrowave #RoyaltyBusinessModel #BluechipClients #FoodTech #BusinessNews #Investing #CEOInterview #Peru #Spain #Blueberry #Snacks #Royalties #TradeMission

Ecora Resources reports solid start to 2025, with stronger Q2 ahead

Ecora Resources PLC CEO Marc Bishop Lafleche takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s first quarter trading update and outlook for the rest of 2025. He described the start to the year as a “very solid” one, highlighting a portfolio contribution of $6 million, which notably excludes revenue from both Mimbula and Four Mile due to a reporting lag. Lafleche emphasised strong performance at Voisey’s Bay underground and the achievement of a second consecutive quarterly record at Mantos Blancos. A major development during the period was the $50 million acquisition of Mimbula, which Lafleche said marks a strategic milestone. He reiterated that Voisey’s Bay is on track for 60% to 90% volume growth following underground expansion, with full-year guidance between 335 to 390 tonnes, skewed towards the second half. Ecora is also seeing positive pricing momentum for cobalt, with April prices nearing $19 per pound**, up from $13 in Q1, following a DRC export ban. Looking ahead to Q2, the company expects the initial revenues from the dollar stream and normalisation of royalty income from Four Mile. Lafleche also noted the anticipated return of mining within the royalty area at Kestrel, leading to stronger volumes into Q3.
