Pennant International Group (AIM:PEN), the AIM-listed systems support software and training solutions provider, has won a new contract for its Auxilium software suite with a major global shipbuilding organisation.

The deal is expected to add approximately £0.2m to annual recurring revenue (ARR), income generated from software subscriptions and maintenance contracts.

Auxilium, Pennant's next-generation integrated product support platform, will be deployed across a shipbuilding programme in the Asia-Pacific region to manage engineering, maintenance and logistics data.

The contract builds toward the Group's target of exceeding £3m in ARR by the end of its 2026 financial year.

"Securing this contract with a major international shipbuilder is an important milestone for Pennant and a further endorsement of the capability and value of the Auxilium platform", said Phil Walker, chief executive of Pennant International Group.

He added that the agreement strengthens the company's position in the maritime and naval sectors while expanding its footprint in the Asia-Pacific region.

News Intelligence what this means for the company

Pennant International secured a new Auxilium software contract with a major global shipbuilder, adding £0.2m to annual recurring revenue (ARR). This represents material progress toward the company's stated target of exceeding £3m ARR by end of 2026 financial year—the new contract alone adds roughly 7% of that target, and Pennant has now announced multiple Auxilium wins in the maritime sector within weeks.

Investment case

The contract validates Auxilium's market fit in maritime and naval applications and demonstrates Pennant's ability to convert platform deployments into recurring subscription revenue. At £0.2m ARR, this single win is meaningful relative to the £3m target, though the company's path to that goal depends on converting announced contracts into sustained recurring revenue and securing additional wins.
