Price Target:
20.00p
▲(8.11% Upside)
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (persistent losses and cash burn) and bearish technicals (below key moving averages with negative momentum). The earnings call provides a partial offset via improved cost discipline, first revenue, a growing pipeline, and strengthened funding, but valuation remains constrained by losses and no dividend.
Positive Factors
Conservative balance sheet / low leverage
Extremely low leverage materially reduces near-term solvency risk and gives management flexibility to fund R&D and commercialization without high interest burdens. That structural balance-sheet strength supports multi‑quarter execution in capital‑intensive battery development.
Strengthened liquidity from capital raise
A successful, oversubscribed GBP 10.5m raise materially extends runway and lowers immediate refinancing risk, enabling continued cell/system development, pilot deployments and sales efforts over the coming quarters while management works toward scale and revenue maturation.
Commercial partnerships and initial commercial traction
Partnerships with established industry players and first reported revenue signal market validation and provide channel access. A £17.5m pipeline implies multiple potential project conversions, supporting a durable path to scale if conversion and margins hold over the next 2–6 months.
Negative Factors
Persistent negative cash generation
Sustained negative operating and free cash flow requires ongoing external funding and constrains reinvestment. Even with recent improvement, ongoing cash burn increases execution risk, making commercialization and scaling dependent on successful capital raises or faster revenue conversion.
Deep and multi-year losses, weak profitability
Very large negative margins and severely negative ROE indicate current business economics are not covering operating costs. Prolonged losses erode equity, limit reinvestment capacity and require sustained structural improvement in gross margins or scale to reach viable, durable profitability.
Long sales and integration cycles
Extended 9–20 month sales cycles delay revenue recognition and customer adoption, increasing working-capital needs and stretching the time to scale. This structural timing mismatch raises execution risk and makes short‑term funding durability and conversion of the pipeline critical.

Gelion PLC Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financials remain weak: revenue is small and volatile with deeply negative profitability and multi-year losses, and cash flow is consistently negative with ongoing cash burn. The main positive is very low leverage (minimal debt), which reduces near-term solvency risk, but declining equity and materially negative returns reflect continued value erosion.
Income Statement
18
Very Negative
Revenue is small and volatile, with FY2025 revenue down ~61% versus FY2024 (which had no revenue). Profitability remains very weak: FY2025 gross margin is ~26%, but operating and net results are deeply negative (net margin around -656%), reflecting a cost base far above current sales. Losses have persisted for multiple years with no clear inflection to sustained profitability yet.
Balance Sheet
62
Positive
The balance sheet is conservatively levered, with very low debt relative to equity (FY2025 debt-to-equity ~0.003), which reduces financial risk and provides flexibility. However, equity has trended down from prior years and returns on equity are materially negative (FY2025 roughly -60%), indicating ongoing value erosion driven by recurring losses.
Cash Flow
24
Negative
Cash generation is weak: operating cash flow and free cash flow are consistently negative across the period, including FY2025 operating cash flow of about -£4.5m and free cash flow of about -£4.9m. While the cash burn improved versus FY2023 (less negative free cash flow), FY2025 free cash flow deteriorated versus FY2024 and the business remains dependent on funding until it can scale revenue and narrow losses.
