Marechale Capital plc

("Marechale Capital", “Marechale” or the "Company")

Half-yearly Results

Marechale Capital plc, an established City of London based corporate finance house with a long-term track record and a strong reputation for advising and financing high growth consumer brands, leisure, clean energy, mineral extraction and technology companies, announces its unaudited half-yearly results for the six months ended 31 October 2023 (the “Period”).

Chairman’s Statement

Following the announcement with Marechale’s full year results released in August 2023, the market continues to remain challenging, particularly in the hospitality sector. However, the Board remains positive about the outlook for its investments.

Marechale Capital continues to see interesting corporate finance and advisory projects where it can take founders shares and warrants as part of its advisory fees. On a positive note, Marechale has completed transactions during the period for the European telecommunications technology company, Fast2fibre, Chestnut Group, the leading East Anglian Inn Group, and for Brewhouse & Kitchen, the expanding gastro pub business. However, the market remains a difficult environment in which to raise capital. This has resulted in some advisory projects that launched in the summer not being completed by the end of the Period. Marechale continues to look for new funding partners alongside its traditional investor relationships.

During the six months ended 31 October 2023, the Company generated gross profits of £93,813 (2022: £72,020) and delivered an operating loss of £155,421 (2022: loss of £178,995), resulting in an overall loss before tax of £155,803 (2022: loss of £179,502).

The Company’s balance sheet shows a net asset value of £3,340,486 (2022: £3,456,430), representing 3.15p (2022: 3.62p) of value per share in issue. The Company remains positive about the investments that it holds in its client companies. As at 31 October 2023 the Company had £400,000 of cash reserves.

The Board is working on a number of initiatives to create further value for shareholders over and above its core investment portfolio and corporate finance projects, including working with Chris Kenning, following his strategic investment of 9.9% of the Company announced in June 2023. The plan is to digitise Marechale’s activities and continue to develop strategic partnerships with the objective of enhancing shareholder value.

Marechale also uses its balance sheet to co-invest in its client companies, along with warrants and founder equity. Furthermore, the Board is hopeful to be able to announce realisations on some of the Company’s investments in the next six months

Whist the current economic climate is difficult, Marechale Capital remains diligent and is convinced that there will be good advisory and investment opportunities in its core hospitality, renewable, clean energy and technology sectors over the short to medium term.
