Roche said Friday that its Alecensa drug demonstrated the ability to reduce recurrence of lung cancer for patients in the early stage of the disease. The Swiss pharmaceutical company said the results, from a Phase 3 study of 257 people which compared the treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, met its primary goal of disease-free survival in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. About half of people with this type of lung cancer experience a recurrence of the disease after surgery, Roche said. Roche said that it found no unexpected safety issues and will submit the data to global health authorities.

Verditek has raised 500,000 pounds ($633,650) through a discounted share subscription, with proceeds going toward general working capital. The U.K.-based solar-panel technology company said Friday that it has issued 111.1 million shares at a price of 0.45 pence a share, representing a discount of 40% to Thursday’s closing price of 0.75 pence. “The directors believe that this raise will provide funding for the medium term,” Chief Executive Rob Richards said.

Superdry reported a swing to pretax loss for fiscal 2023 after booking higher costs and impairments and said that it will focus on cost savings given the challenging market conditions. The British clothing brand said Friday that for the year ended April 29, it swung to a pretax loss of 78.5 million pounds ($99.5 million) compared with a profit of GBP17.6 million in fiscal 2022. Revenue rose 2.1% to GBP622.5 million. The swing was mainly driven by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to GBP419.1 million from GBP360.3 million. Looking ahead, the group said that it will focus on cost savings and margin improvement, and that it doesn’t expect to see significant revenue growth. “The consumer retail market continues to remain challenging and unpredictable. The extreme weather events across the UK and Europe have had a negative impact on our Spring Summer collection,” it said. “Conversely, our new Autumn Winter collection is selling better this early in the season, than usual. Building on the success of our jacket collection last year, we continue to anticipate another strong year for our outerwear.” Shares were suspended on Aug. 30 due to a delay on its fiscal 2023 results report.

Direct Line Insurance Group expects to pay 30 million pounds ($38 million) of redress to some overcharged customers after failing to implement new pricing rules on home and motor renewals. The U.K. non-life insurer said Friday that it plans to undertake a review of all customers that were affected by these failures, meaning that they paid more to renew their policies than they should have. The new pricing regulation came into effect on Jan. 1, 2022. “An error in our implementation of these rules has meant that our calculation of the equivalent new business price for some customers failed to comply with the regulation. As a result, those customers have paid a renewal price higher than they should have,” Direct Line said. The company said that the expected redress payment has been provided for in its 2022 accounts.

Salzgitter said Friday that it has suspended its earning guidance for 2023 on the back of an outlook downgrade from Aurubis, in which it holds a 29.99% stake. The German steel producer said its financial results are significantly affected by the performance of Aurubis, a Hamburg-based metal supplier that said it will not meet its earnings guidance for the year. Aurubis said late Thursday that thieves have stolen copper with a value in the three-digit-million-euro range, prompting the cut to its forecast. Salzgitter will revise its guidance following any revision from Aurubis, it said.

Accsys Technologies expects its performance for fiscal 2024 to be below market expectations due to softening market conditions across the U.K., Europe and North America. The sustainable-wood building-products company said Friday that it expects sales volumes and revenue for fiscal 2024 to be below current market expectations, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization likely to be significantly below expectations. The company said trading conditions have continued to soften on the back of rising interest rates, a higher inflation environment and slowing residential activity. “In addition, distributors of building products in the U.S. and Europe have seen significant volume declines year to date, with high levels of destocking being experienced. As a result, Accsys has observed a weakening in demand for its products,” it said. The group expects the challenging conditions to persist at least until the second half of the 2024 calendar year, it added.

Colefax Group is planning to launch a tender offer to buy up to 14% of its issued share capital from shareholders. The U.K. furnishings company said Friday that it is proposing to buy up to 1.0 million of its ordinary shares via the tender offer at the lower of 700 pence a share, or 105% of its average closing mid-market price a share over a set five days. Based on 700 pence a share, the tender offer is worth 7.1 million pounds ($9 million). The price is a 7.6% discount to the company’s closing price of 757.50 pence on Thursday.

Sports-fashion retailer Frasers Group has increased its shareholding in Boohoo Group to 10.425% of its issued share capital. In a regulatory filing released Friday, Boohoo, a London-listed online fashion retailer, said Frasers now owns 132.2 million of its shares. The shares are worth 47.1 million pounds ($59.7 million) based on Boohoo’s closing share price of 35.65 pence on Thursday. On Thursday, Boohoo disclosed that Frasers had increased its shareholding to 9.1% from 7.8%.

Totally PLC backed its fiscal 2024 performance outlook despite a higher-than-expected increase in staff costs. The provider of healthcare services in the U.K. and Ireland said Friday that many decisions related to the awarding of new contracts are currently on hold. The company said the backdrop remains challenging and that it is implementing strategies to streamline its operations and to align them with a smaller overhead base. “The board remains confident in the medium to long term prospects of the business and will ensure that future contract opportunities continue to be pursued,” it added. The company previously said it expects fiscal 2024 revenue to fall from the 135.7 million pounds ($172 million) reported in the fiscal year that ended on March 31. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization are forecast to marginally slip from fiscal 2023 levels of GBP6.9 million. Shares at 0701 GMT were down 0.87 pence, or 8.2%, at 9.75 pence.
