By providing a ready-made, compliant software foundation, Launchpad offers these customers a faster and lower-risk route into land-based deployment. Launchpad has been pre-tested by GLI (Gaming Laboratories International), one of the world's leading independent testing and certification bodies for regulated gaming. GLI testing is an important step in the approval process for gaming products, and this pre-testing helps customers to speed up formal certification and deployment in regulated jurisdictions. The benefits include faster time-to-market, lower total cost of ownership, seamless integration, flexibility and optimised performance, with ongoing support through the Quixant Hub, their dedicated resource and support portal. Launchpad was extremely well received at ICE Barcelona 2026, with strong interest from both existing Quixant customers and new prospects, with discussions now advancing as adoption builds.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 67% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (dividend per share is over 7x earnings per share). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.4% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (UK£38.9m market cap, or US$50.5m).

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 2.4% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 6.5% per year for the foreseeable future.
