('Tan Delta', or the 'Company')
Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026
Tan Delta (AIM:TAND), a leading provider of intelligent monitoring and maintenance systems for commercial and industrial equipment, announces its financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (“H1 2026” or the “Period”).
Financial highlights:
Outlook:
Chris Greenwood, CEO of Tan Delta, comments:
“Whilst I had hoped for customer trials to have transitioned more quickly into rollout, revenues increased by 45% during the first half of the year with gross profit margin maintained at 60%. Tan Delta is in a strategic market position with a compelling offer that has gained significant interest with multiple trials progressing steadily. Our immediate focus and challenge is to use our limited resources intelligently to support and accelerate these trials through to successful conclusion and rollout, and then use that success as a spring board to future sustained growth.
Our primary market focus is currently large commercial and industrial applications where equipment reliability is critical. Despite pausing all marketing in order to focus our full attention on closing existing opportunities, today we have approximately 30 active customer trials evaluating the rollout of Tan Delta systems to improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs. I estimate the revenue potential of these specific opportunities to be approximately £34m plus the future opportunities that these rollouts will likely open due to being important references for others in the same market segments with the same problems to solve.
These trials range from the one of the world’s largest online retailer through to large engine and gearbox manufacturers, global shipping companies and oil and gas companies. The common denominator being that they have mission critical equipment whose reliability relies on the lubrication provided by oil. And its because of this fact that Tan Delta’s real time oil condition monitoring sensors and systems have generated substantial interest.
Given the critical importance of equipment reliability and monitoring systems to asset operators, the pre-rollout evaluation is typically lengthy and follows a step by step process of technical, operational and finally rollout logistical planning before commencing long term rollout programmes across fleets of assets. A good example of this process in action during the first half is an ongoing trial with a major global online retailer which started with a first phase trial of 10 sensors ongearboxes at one site in 2025, progressing into a wider 100 sensor paid for trial across multiple sites during H1, along with closer engagement with the customer to understand the benefits that Tan Delta delivers and how this might be rolled out across their business and integrated into existing equipment monitoring and maintenance systems. As with a number of others, this trial is progressing well, and could lead to significant and sustained revenues in the future upon commencement of rollout.
We see very substantial opportunities worldwide for our technology and products and believe that the completion and conversion of these ongoing trials will not only generate increased revenues, but open up many more new opportunities within the same market segments. However, the conversion of these opportunities into rollout and sustained recurring revenues is taking longer than we had anticipated and with limited cash and human resources available to us, we are carefully focusing on priority opportunities, whilst also keeping the scale of our resources under constant review to ensure they are sufficient to support the execution of our business plan.
As of the date of this report we are confident that revenues will start to show growth in the current financial year and that FY26 revenues will be higher than FY25, however, the scale of that growth will be the product of the conversion timing from trial to rollout and the scale and pace of the rollouts. Whilst we see this improving in the months ahead, as of now this remains difficult to forecast.
I look forward optimistically to the future with a plethora of opportunities available to us with significant revenue prospects, but equally recognising the immediate challenge of sustaining these trials through to rollout.”

Chairman’s Statement
Revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2026 increased by 45% to £0.76 million (H1 2025: £0.53 million), generating gross profit of £0.46 million (H1 2025: £0.32 million). Gross margin remained consistent at 60% (H1 2025: 61%). Loss before tax reduced to £0.75 million (H1 2025: £0.78 million), despite the continued investment required to support customer evaluation activity. Net cash used in operating activities reduced to £0.64 million (H1 2025: £1.08 million). At 30 June 2026, the Company had cash of £0.85 million and is debt free.
The improvement in revenue reflects additional sales arising primarily from the expansion of ongoing validation trials and customers’ willingness to pay for those trials. The process by which customers evaluate our real time oil condition monitoring (RT-OCM) technology and progress towards larger-scale adoption is typically lengthy and multi-phase, involving technical validation, operational evaluation and planning for integration across existing equipment and maintenance programmes. We are therefore focusing our resources on existing customers and opportunities to support them through these stages and towards wider deployment. As these programmes convert and revenues grow, we expect to be able to deploy additional resources into the wider market, supported by stronger industry references.
Operational resources during the Period continued to be focused principally on supporting ongoing customer evaluations. We have maintained a disciplined approach to expenditure while ensuring that customers receive the technical and operational support required as they assess the application of RT-OCM within their equipment estates.
In the context of limited resources and the significant number of existing customer evaluations underway, we have paused new marketing and business development activity to maintain focus on progressing these opportunities towards conversion. One example is the second-phase evaluation of RT-OCM by a major global online retailer, which resulted in an order for 100 OQSx-G2 sensor systems.
This focused approach is intended to maximise the prospect of existing evaluations progressing to wider deployment before we increase investment in new business development activity.
Alongside these evaluation activities, we continue to engage with major global OEMs and industrial operators. Our priority is to convert this engagement and the customer programmes already underway into repeatable and sustained revenues, while continuing to demonstrate the operational benefits of real time oil condition monitoring.
Outlook
The scale of the business opportunity for Tan Delta is global and significant. Our challenge remains the extended time and resources required to provide effective support of these trials prior to large scale rollouts. We are therefore focusing resources on existing priority opportunities where we are well progressed with active trials towards sustained revenue generation.
The Company has entered the second half of the year with a portfolio of customer evaluation programmes in progress. The timing of conversion from evaluation programmes into larger-scale sustained rollouts remains difficult to predict, although we expect visibility to improve as programmes progress. Based on our current visibility, the Board expects FY26 revenue to show growth over FY25. The extent of that growth will depend on the timing of conversion and the scale and pace of customer rollouts, and the Company will provide further guidance as opportunities develop. In parallel, we are considering how best to support the wider opportunity and scale Tan Delta over time, including through strategic partnerships and the expansion of our engineering resources.At 30 June 2026, the Company had cash of £0.85 million, with net cash used in operating activities of £0.64 million during the Period. The Board continues to maintain a close focus on the Company’s cash resources and working capital requirements. The timing of conversion of customer evaluations and the scale and pace of subsequent rollouts remain difficult to predict and will be important factors in determining the Company’s future resource and funding requirements. The Board continues to keep these requirements under regular review.

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the results attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of ordinary shares in issue. The number of shares in issue at the end of the period is used as the denominator in calculating basic earnings per share. As the Company is loss making the effect of instruments that convert into ordinary shares is considered anti-dilutive, hence there is no difference between the diluted and non-diluted loss per share.
