[H4] Final Results Presentation

[H5] For the year ended 31 July 2025

2025 was a critical year for Nanoco.
In what has been a rapidly changing
operating environment, the Board acted
decisively to stabilise and refocus the
business following a challenging start
to the year. This was in spite of a major
European customer transitioning away
from QD sensor technology.
Against this backdrop, the Nanoco Board
remained focused on ensuring strategic
delivery to preserve and enhance
shareholder value.
