An update from Pebble Beach Systems ( (GB:PEB) ) is now available.

Pebble Beach Systems reported a sharp turnaround in 2025, with revenue rising 7% to £12.2 million and adjusted profit before tax jumping to £3.0 million, as it benefited from earlier strategic cost-cutting and a refocus of research and development. Recurring revenue from support and maintenance contracts grew 8% to £6.6 million, now comprising about 64% of software and services revenue, underpinning margins and providing stronger visibility.

Adjusted EBITDA climbed 27% to £4.2 million and the group swung to a statutory pre-tax profit of £2.2 million, helped by tighter costs and lower finance charges, while 94% of adjusted EBITDA converted into cash. Net debt excluding leases was cut by 49% to £1.9 million after £1.0 million of repayments, and the company expects to move into a net cash position in 2026, further strengthening its balance sheet.

Operationally, Pebble delivered £13.9 million of new orders, driven by a 25% rise in project work and solid demand from streaming clients, even as support and maintenance order intake eased modestly. New wins included major streaming platforms and a U.S. sports rights holder signing short- and medium-term service agreements, reinforcing Pebble’s positioning in live events and sports broadcasting.

The board said early 2026 trading has been encouraging and believes the group is well placed to pursue further growth in margins and recurring income despite macroeconomic uncertainty. Management sees the highly cash-generative model and reduced leverage as opening scope for additional strategic options and underpinning medium-term expansion in the broadcast and streaming automation niche.

Spark’s Take on PEB Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PEB is a Neutral.

Pebble Beach Systems’ overall stock score is driven by positive technical indicators and recent corporate events that suggest potential for growth. However, financial performance and valuation concerns, including negative net income and a negative P/E ratio, weigh heavily on the score. The company’s ability to leverage its cash flow strengths and recent strategic changes will be crucial for future performance.
