Quantum Base (AIM:QUBE) expects total revenues for the year ending 30 April to be in the range of £455,000 to £595,000, a "significant increase" on FY25, driven by continued integration with a global security printer, and the onboarding of a global art authentication registry.
Despite the top‑line gain, the group said a small number of customer engagements have slipped, moving some contracts into the new financial year (FY27).
A revenue accounting review will also defer approximately £42,000 of the art registry’s initial set‑up fees into FY27. Together, those factors mean the EBITDA loss for FY26 is expected to be greater than market expectations.
The company highlighted commercial momentum: four potential customers are now at an advanced stage across security printing, pharmaceuticals and brand protection. It has also rolled out Q‑ID® Scanner 2.0 on iOS, claiming up to 3x faster authentication and end‑to‑end scans in under three seconds, with Android to follow, and has beefed up its sales and marketing team to scale demand generation.
"The scale of our revenue growth from FY25 to FY26 reflects the maturing nature of Quantum Base and its offering over the past year," Tom Taylor, Chief Executive, said.
