The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Thursday and not separately reported by Alliance News:

--------

Alfa Financial Software Holdings PLC - London-based software developer for the finance industry - Reports strong third quarter trading, leading the finance-focused software developer to upgrade its full-year expectations. Notes that, at the end of the quarter, revenue totals £25 million, up 25% against the £20 million recorded the year prior. Cites strong levels of chargeability in its Implementation and Product Engineering teams for the rise. As a result of its performance, Alfa raises its full-year expectations for revenue by £1.5 million.

--------

Pantheon Resources PLC - Alaska-focused oil and gas company - Completes acquisition of about 40,000 acres in State of Alaska’s North Slope Areawide lease sale. Says it was successful on all bids submitted. ‘The new leases are strategically positioned in two areas contiguous or adjacent to the company’s current acreage on its north western boundary, covering the extension of the Theta West project, and east, capturing the area adjacent to the junction of the Alkaid Unit and the Talitha Unit’ it notes. Pantheon’s winning bids averaged $28.00 per acre.

--------

Biome Technologies PLC - Southampton-based plastic material & resin manufacturing company - Says revenue in the third quarter of 2022 is in-line with expectations at £1.9 million, and 73% higher than the £1.1 million achieved the previous year. Explains that the rise reflected demand across its customer portfolio, as well as some catch-up from the second quarter as raw materials for production finally cleared supply chain hurdles. Confirms that its outlook for 2023 remains unchanged.

--------

Ocean Wilsons Holdings Ltd - Bermuda-based investment company - Sees its investment portfolio, including cash under management, fall to $283.3 million at September 30. At December 30, its portfolio amounted to $351.8 million, representing a 20% decline for the nine-month period. This compares to a fall of 25% for the MSCI World Index over the same time, however. The investor’s revenue rises to $118.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, up from $104.0 million previously, thanks to favourable conditions in volume and pricing for its logistics business. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortization rise 13% year-on-year to $50.7 million from $44.9 million.

--------

Majedie Investments PLC - London-based investment trust - Becomes a member of Marylebone Partners LLP, entitling the firm to 7.5% of its residual profits and capital interest at no consideration cost. This comes as the firm appoints Marylebone Partners as its investment manager. Marylebone Partners currently manages around $400 million for its clients, the investment trust adds. Majedie says it is also proposing a change to its investment objective to pursue ‘high-conviction, long-term approach that is unconstrained by geographic limitations or any formal benchmark.’ Proposal subject to shareholder approval.
