React Group shares fall as interim loss widens; focused on pipeline

React Group PLC on Tuesday said it remains focused on strengthening pipeline momentum as it reported an increased interim loss amid sharply higher administrative expenses.

The Birmingham, England-based provider of cleaning and soft facilities management services said it swung to a loss of £280,000 in the six months to March 31 from a profit of £87,000 a year ago.

React shares were down 21% to 56.60 pence each on Tuesday morning in London.

Revenue grew by 14% to £12.1 million from £10.6 million, but cost of sales increased 6.8% to £8.2 million from £7.7 million, while administrative costs were up 55% to £4.0 million from £2.6 million.

React said it remains focused on mid-market opportunities, noting that deals that experienced delays in the first half of 2025 are now progressing which supported ‘re-emerging’ revenue growth.

Chief Executive Officer Shaun Doak said: ‘While economic pressures have materially affected some areas, the successful integration of 24hr Aquaflow Services has been a key growth driver, helping to offset some of the challenges in specialist cleaning. Looking ahead, we remain focused on strengthening pipeline momentum and capitalising on mid-market opportunities, where shorter decision cycles are supporting new business wins.’

React bought 24hr Aquaflow Services Ltd for up to £7.4 million late last year. It is a drainage and plumbing services firm operating in London and the south east of England for the past 20 years.
