Calnex and Viavi Partnership

Calnex Solutions Plc

**Summary**
Calnex Solutions plc (AIMCLX) and VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) have partnered to provide comprehensive <mark style="background-color:yellow">test</mark> solutions for Open RAN (O-RAN) products, addressing the growing need for pre-certification validation in the telecom infrastructure market. The collaboration offers three integrated testbeds that simplify and reduce the cost of in-house Open RAN testing, enabling manufacturers of O-RU, O-DU, and O-CU equipment to perform full O-RAN and 3GPP conformance testing while emulating real-world network impairments. This partnership aims to accelerate innovation in 5G and 6G systems by ensuring adherence to performance, security, interoperability, and reliability standards.
The shift to Open RAN and AI-RAN has opened the telecom market to new entrants, including startups and university spinouts, but has also introduced challenges in multivendor ecosystem compatibility. Calnex and VIAVI’s combined expertise eliminates the traditional complexities of setting up in-house test labs, which often require equipment from multiple vendors and extensive debugging. Early customer feedback has been positive, and both companies anticipate maximizing the partnership’s potential across key regions.
Calnex specializes in test and measurement solutions for telecoms and cloud computing, while VIAVI is a global leader in network test, monitoring, and assurance solutions. Together, they aim to streamline Open RAN development and reduce the risk of certification failures, ultimately fostering faster innovation in the telecom industry.

**Diageo Fiscal 26 Q1 Trading Statement Summary**
**Key Highlights**
**Flat Organic Net Sales Growth** Diageo reported flat organic net sales growth in Q1 FY26 (ended 30 September 2025), with a 2.9% increase in volume offset by a 2.8% decline in price/mix. Reported net sales declined by 2.2% to $4.9 billion, primarily due to disposals and negligible foreign exchange impact.
**Regional Performance**
**Strengths** Growth in Europe, Latin America, and Caribbean (LAC), and Africa offset by weakness in Asia Pacific (APAC) and North America (NAM).
**Weaknesses** Chinese white spirits (CWS) in China and softer US consumer environment negatively impacted results. CWS weakness alone reduced group net sales by ~2.5%.
**Strategic Focus** Diageo is advancing its **Accelerate programme**, aiming for $625 million in cost savings over three years. The program focuses on agility, cost efficiency, and leveraging AI for better analytics.
**Fiscal 26 Outlook**

**Management Commentary** Interim CEO Nik Jhangiani emphasized adapting to evolving consumer trends, strengthening commercial execution, and embedding a performance-driven culture.
**Regional Breakdown**
1. **North America (38% of net sales)** Organic net sales declined 2.7% due to softer spirits market, competitive pressure in tequila, and weak consumer confidence.
2. **Europe (25% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 3.5%, driven by Guinness and strong performance in Türkiye.
3. **Asia Pacific (18% of net sales)** Organic net sales declined 7.5%, primarily due to CWS weakness in China, partially offset by growth in India.
4. **LAC (11% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 10.9%, led by Brazil’s double-digit growth.
5. **Africa (8% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 8.9%, with strong performance in East and South Africa.
**Key Initiatives**
**Accelerate Programme** Progressing well, with focus on cost efficiency, AI-driven analytics, and process simplifications.
**Disposals** Completed sales of Seychelles Breweries, Guinness Ghana Breweries, and Diageo Operations Italy S.p.A. to streamline operations.
**Financial Guidance**
Tax rate expected at ~25%, effective interest rate at ~4.0%, and capital expenditure at the lower end of $1.2-$1.3 billion.
Leverage ratio target of 2.5-3.0x net debt to adjusted EBITDA to be achieved by FY28.

Diageo issues fiscal 26 Q1 trading statement

Diageo PLC

**Diageo Fiscal 26 Q1 Trading Statement Summary**
**Key Highlights**
**Flat Organic Net Sales Growth** Diageo reported flat organic net sales growth in Q1 FY26 (ended 30 September 2025), with a 2.9% increase in volume offset by a 2.8% decline in price/mix. Reported net sales declined by 2.2% to $4.9 billion, primarily due to disposals and negligible foreign exchange impact.
**Regional Performance**
**Strengths** Growth in Europe, Latin America, and Caribbean (LAC), and Africa offset by weakness in Asia Pacific (APAC) and North America (NAM).
**Weaknesses** Chinese white spirits (CWS) in China and softer US consumer environment negatively impacted results. CWS weakness alone reduced group net sales by ~2.5%.
**Strategic Focus** Diageo is advancing its **Accelerate programme**, aiming for $625 million in cost savings over three years. The program focuses on agility, cost efficiency, and leveraging AI for better analytics.
**Fiscal 26 Outlook**
Organic net sales growth expected to be **flat to slightly down**, including impacts from CWS and US consumer softness.
Organic operating profit growth projected at **low to mid-single digit**, supported by cost savings.
Free cash flow target maintained at **~$3 billion**, with expectations of growth in future years.
**Management Commentary** Interim CEO Nik Jhangiani emphasized adapting to evolving consumer trends, strengthening commercial execution, and embedding a performance-driven culture.
**Regional Breakdown**
1. **North America (38% of net sales)** Organic net sales declined 2.7% due to softer spirits market, competitive pressure in tequila, and weak consumer confidence.
2. **Europe (25% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 3.5%, driven by Guinness and strong performance in Türkiye.
3. **Asia Pacific (18% of net sales)** Organic net sales declined 7.5%, primarily due to CWS weakness in China, partially offset by growth in India.
4. **LAC (11% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 10.9%, led by Brazil’s double-digit growth.
5. **Africa (8% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 8.9%, with strong performance in East and South Africa.
**Key Initiatives**
**Accelerate Programme** Progressing well, with focus on cost efficiency, AI-driven analytics, and process simplifications.
**Disposals** Completed sales of Seychelles Breweries, Guinness Ghana Breweries, and Diageo Operations Italy S.p.A. to streamline operations.
**Financial Guidance**
Tax rate expected at ~25%, effective interest rate at ~4.0%, and capital expenditure at the lower end of $1.2-$1.3 billion.
Leverage ratio target of 2.5-3.0x net debt to adjusted EBITDA to be achieved by FY28.
**Conclusion**
Diageo’s Q1 FY26 results reflect challenges in China and the US but highlight resilience in other regions. The company remains focused on strategic initiatives to drive growth, improve efficiency, and deliver on financial commitments.

Reported net sales declined by 2.2% to $4.9 billion, primarily due to disposals and negligible foreign exchange impact. - **Regional Performance:** - **Strengths:** Growth in Europe, Latin America, and Caribbean (LAC), and Africa offset by weakness in Asia Pacific (APAC) and North America (NAM). - **Weaknesses:** Chinese white spirits (CWS) in China and softer US consumer environment negatively impacted results.

ITV remains on track to achieve £750 million in digital revenues by 2026. - **Outlook:** Full-year guidance remains unchanged, with ITV Studios expected to meet revenue and margin targets. M&E digital advertising revenue is expected to grow, but TAR will decline due to economic softness. - **Liquidity:** ITV maintains strong liquidity with £1.377 billion in total liquidity and net debt of £508 million as of September 2025. CEO Carolyn McCall emphasized ITVs resilience, strategic cost management, and confidence in delivering growth in ITV Studios and digital revenues, despite macroeconomic challenges.

**Summary:** Premier Miton Global Renewables Trust Plc has announced recommended proposals for its reconstruction and voluntary winding-up via a scheme of arrangement under the Insolvency Act 1986. Shareholders are offered two options: 1. **Rollover Option**: Transfer their investment into the Premier Miton Global Infrastructure Income Fund (Sub-Fund), an open-ended fund managed by the same investment manager, offering exposure to infrastructure securities, a dividend yield, and stronger historical performance. 2. **Cash Option**: Receive a cash exit at net asset value, less associated costs. The Sub-Fund, with net assets of £77.2 million, provides long-term income and capital growth, focusing on infrastructure investments. The proposals aim to minimize dealing costs compared to a simple winding-up, and the Company’s alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) will contribute to the scheme’s costs. Key benefits include maintaining exposure to infrastructure investments, avoiding full portfolio realization costs, and the AIFM’s financial support. The scheme is conditional on shareholder approval at General Meetings on 25 November and 5 December 2025, FCA approval, and the Directors’ decision to proceed. The process involves dividing the Company’s assets into three pools: a **Liquidation Pool** for liabilities, a **Rollover Pool** for shareholders choosing the Sub-Fund, and a **Cash Pool** for those opting for cash. The scheme is expected to be effective by 5 December 2025, with Sub-Fund shares issued and cash payments made shortly thereafter. The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favor of the proposals, emphasizing they are in the best interests of all shareholders.

**Summary**
Calnex Solutions plc (AIMCLX) and VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) have partnered to provide comprehensive <mark style="background-color:yellow">test</mark> solutions for Open RAN (O-RAN) products, addressing the growing need for pre-certification validation in the telecom infrastructure market. The collaboration offers three integrated testbeds that simplify and reduce the cost of in-house Open RAN testing, enabling manufacturers of O-RU, O-DU, and O-CU equipment to perform full O-RAN and 3GPP conformance testing while emulating real-world network impairments. This partnership aims to accelerate innovation in 5G and 6G systems by ensuring adherence to performance, security, interoperability, and reliability standards.
The shift to Open RAN and AI-RAN has opened the telecom market to new entrants, including startups and university spinouts, but has also introduced challenges in multivendor ecosystem compatibility. Calnex and VIAVI’s combined expertise eliminates the traditional complexities of setting up in-house test labs, which often require equipment from multiple vendors and extensive debugging. Early customer feedback has been positive, and both companies anticipate maximizing the partnership’s potential across key regions.
Calnex specializes in test and measurement solutions for telecoms and cloud computing, while VIAVI is a global leader in network test, monitoring, and assurance solutions. Together, they aim to streamline Open RAN development and reduce the risk of certification failures, ultimately fostering faster innovation in the telecom industry.

**Summary**
On November 6, 2025, the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) announced a strategic partnership with Nasdaq to enhance private markets data distribution. Under the agreement, LSEG will license Nasdaq eVestment’s private markets datasets, including Market Lens insights, hedge fund data, and Limited Partner (LP) intelligence. The partnership also includes exclusive distribution of Nasdaq’s private market datasets, benchmarks, and deal-level insights, which will be integrated into LSEG’s Workspace and Datafeeds platforms. This collaboration aims to increase transparency and improve decision-making capabilities in the private investment landscape.
The partnership builds on LSEG’s recent launch of the UK’s first Private Securities Market in September 2025 and aligns with Nasdaq’s strategy to enhance transparency and liquidity in private markets. Key executives from both companies emphasized the combined offering’s ability to provide comprehensive, actionable intelligence for General Partners (GPs), Limited Partners (LPs), and advisors, streamlining workflows across investment targeting, deal execution, fundraising, and portfolio optimization.
LSEG, a global financial markets infrastructure and data provider, and Nasdaq, a leader in market technology and data, aim to create a best-in-class solution for the private markets ecosystem. The announcement was distributed via Reach, the non-regulatory press release service of RNS, part of the London Stock Exchange.

**Summary**
Abingdon Health plc, a leading developer and manufacturer of rapid diagnostic <mark style="background-color:yellow">test</mark>s, has launched seaweed-based lateral flow test (LFT) housings as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic housings. This innovation aims to reduce the significant plastic waste generated by the over 2 billion LFTs used annually worldwide. The company has partnered exclusively with Symbio Technologies Ltd (SymbioTex) to supply compostable, bio-based material derived from red seaweed, which can be molded using standard injection techniques. Prototypes have been developed for both standard and mid-stream urine sample formats, including pregnancy tests. The seaweed-based housings maintain the functionality of traditional tests while offering an eco-friendly solution. This initiative aligns with Abingdon Health’s commitment to sustainability and leverages renewable resources without requiring new manufacturing infrastructure. The launch underscores the company’s role in addressing environmental concerns in the med-tech industry.

**Diageo Fiscal 26 Q1 Trading Statement Summary**
**Key Highlights**
**Flat Organic Net Sales Growth** Diageo reported flat organic net sales growth in Q1 FY26 (ended 30 September 2025), with a 2.9% increase in volume offset by a 2.8% decline in price/mix. Reported net sales declined by 2.2% to $4.9 billion, primarily due to disposals and negligible foreign exchange impact.
**Regional Performance**
**Strengths** Growth in Europe, Latin America, and Caribbean (LAC), and Africa offset by weakness in Asia Pacific (APAC) and North America (NAM).
**Weaknesses** Chinese white spirits (CWS) in China and softer US consumer environment negatively impacted results. CWS weakness alone reduced group net sales by ~2.5%.
**Strategic Focus** Diageo is advancing its **Accelerate programme**, aiming for $625 million in cost savings over three years. The program focuses on agility, cost efficiency, and leveraging AI for better analytics.
**Fiscal 26 Outlook**
Organic net sales growth expected to be **flat to slightly down**, including impacts from CWS and US consumer softness.
Organic operating profit growth projected at **low to mid-single digit**, supported by cost savings.
Free cash flow target maintained at **~$3 billion**, with expectations of growth in future years.
**Management Commentary** Interim CEO Nik Jhangiani emphasized adapting to evolving consumer trends, strengthening commercial execution, and embedding a performance-driven culture.
**Regional Breakdown**
1. **North America (38% of net sales)** Organic net sales declined 2.7% due to softer spirits market, competitive pressure in tequila, and weak consumer confidence.
2. **Europe (25% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 3.5%, driven by Guinness and strong performance in Türkiye.
3. **Asia Pacific (18% of net sales)** Organic net sales declined 7.5%, primarily due to CWS weakness in China, partially offset by growth in India.
4. **LAC (11% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 10.9%, led by Brazil’s double-digit growth.
5. **Africa (8% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 8.9%, with strong performance in East and South Africa.
**Key Initiatives**
**Accelerate Programme** Progressing well, with focus on cost efficiency, AI-driven analytics, and process simplifications.
**Disposals** Completed sales of Seychelles Breweries, Guinness Ghana Breweries, and Diageo Operations Italy S.p.A. to streamline operations.
**Financial Guidance**
Tax rate expected at ~25%, effective interest rate at ~4.0%, and capital expenditure at the lower end of $1.2-$1.3 billion.
Leverage ratio target of 2.5-3.0x net debt to adjusted EBITDA to be achieved by FY28.
**Conclusion**
Diageo’s Q1 FY26 results reflect challenges in China and the US but highlight resilience in other regions. The company remains focused on strategic initiatives to drive growth, improve efficiency, and deliver on financial commitments.

**ITV PLC Q3 Trading Update Summary (November 2025):**
ITV PLC reported a strong Q3 performance for the nine months ending September 2025, exceeding market expectations despite a challenging advertising environment. Key highlights include
**Revenue Growth** Total Group revenue grew 2% year-to-date (YTD), driven by an 11% increase in ITV Studios and a 15% rise in digital advertising, fueled by the success of ITVX.
**Advertising Performance** Total advertising revenue (TAR) was flat in Q3, ahead of guidance, but down 5% YTD due to a strong 2024 comparator (Mens Euros). TAR is expected to decline by 9% in Q4 2025 due to economic uncertainty.
**Cost Management** ITV identified £35 million in temporary savings for Q4 in Media & Entertainment (M&E), primarily from content and discretionary spend, to offset reduced advertising demand.
**ITV Studios** On track to deliver full-year revenue growth with a 13-15% margin, supported by strong demand from global streaming platforms.
**Digital Growth** Digital revenues grew 13%, with ITVX streaming hours up 14%. ITV remains on track to achieve £750 million in digital revenues by 2026.
**Outlook** Full-year guidance remains unchanged, with ITV Studios expected to meet revenue and margin targets. M&E digital advertising revenue is expected to grow, but TAR will decline due to economic softness.
**Liquidity** ITV maintains strong liquidity with £1.377 billion in total liquidity and net debt of £508 million as of September 2025.
CEO Carolyn McCall emphasized ITVs resilience, strategic cost management, and confidence in delivering growth in ITV Studios and digital revenues, despite macroeconomic challenges. The company remains focused on its "More Than TV" strategy and expects to outperform the broadcast advertising market in Q4.

**Summary**
Premier Miton Global Renewables Trust Plc has announced recommended proposals for its reconstruction and voluntary winding-up via a scheme of arrangement under the Insolvency Act 1986. Shareholders are offered two options
1. **Rollover Option**Transfer their investment into the Premier Miton Global Infrastructure Income Fund (Sub-Fund), an open-ended fund managed by the same investment manager, offering exposure to infrastructure securities, a dividend yield, and stronger historical performance.
2. **Cash Option**Receive a cash exit at net asset value, less associated costs.
The Sub-Fund, with net assets of £77.2 million, provides long-term income and capital growth, focusing on infrastructure investments. The proposals aim to minimize dealing costs compared to a simple winding-up, and the Company’s alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) will contribute to the scheme’s costs.
Key benefits include maintaining exposure to infrastructure investments, avoiding full portfolio realization costs, and the AIFM’s financial support. The scheme is conditional on shareholder approval at General Meetings on 25 November and 5 December 2025, FCA approval, and the Directors’ decision to proceed.
The process involves dividing the Company’s assets into three pools: a **Liquidation Pool** for liabilities, a **Rollover Pool** for shareholders choosing the Sub-Fund, and a **Cash Pool** for those opting for cash. The scheme is expected to be effective by 5 December 2025, with Sub-Fund shares issued and cash payments made shortly thereafter.
The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favor of the proposals, emphasizing they are in the best interests of all shareholders.

Calnex and Viavi Partnership

Calnex Solutions Plc

**Summary**
Calnex Solutions plc (AIMCLX) and VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) have partnered to provide comprehensive <mark style="background-color:yellow">test</mark> solutions for Open RAN (O-RAN) products, addressing the growing need for pre-certification validation in the telecom infrastructure market. The collaboration offers three integrated testbeds that simplify and reduce the cost of in-house Open RAN testing, enabling manufacturers of O-RU, O-DU, and O-CU equipment to perform full O-RAN and 3GPP conformance testing while emulating real-world network impairments. This partnership aims to accelerate innovation in 5G and 6G systems by ensuring adherence to performance, security, interoperability, and reliability standards.
The shift to Open RAN and AI-RAN has opened the telecom market to new entrants, including startups and university spinouts, but has also introduced challenges in multivendor ecosystem compatibility. Calnex and VIAVI’s combined expertise eliminates the traditional complexities of setting up in-house test labs, which often require equipment from multiple vendors and extensive debugging. Early customer feedback has been positive, and both companies anticipate maximizing the partnership’s potential across key regions.
Calnex specializes in test and measurement solutions for telecoms and cloud computing, while VIAVI is a global leader in network test, monitoring, and assurance solutions. Together, they aim to streamline Open RAN development and reduce the risk of certification failures, ultimately fostering faster innovation in the telecom industry.

**Management Commentary** Interim CEO Nik Jhangiani emphasized adapting to evolving consumer trends, strengthening commercial execution, and embedding a performance-driven culture.

2. **Europe (25% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 3.5%, driven by Guinness and strong performance in Türkiye.
3. **Asia Pacific (18% of net sales)** Organic net sales declined 7.5%, primarily due to CWS weakness in China, partially offset by growth in India.

5. **Africa (8% of net sales)** Organic net sales grew 8.9%, with strong performance in East and South Africa.

Circ re- Recommended proposals for the reconstruction and voluntary winding-up of the Company

Portmeirion Group

**Summary**
Premier Miton Global Renewables Trust Plc has announced recommended proposals for its reconstruction and voluntary winding-up via a scheme of arrangement under the Insolvency Act 1986. Shareholders are offered two options
1. **Rollover Option**Transfer their investment into the Premier Miton Global Infrastructure Income Fund (Sub-Fund), an open-ended fund managed by the same investment manager, offering exposure to infrastructure securities, a dividend yield, and stronger historical performance.
2. **Cash Option**Receive a cash exit at net asset value, less associated costs.
The Sub-Fund, with net assets of £77.2 million, provides long-term income and capital growth, focusing on infrastructure investments. The proposals aim to minimize dealing costs compared to a simple winding-up, and the Company’s alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) will contribute to the scheme’s costs.
Key benefits include maintaining exposure to infrastructure investments, avoiding full portfolio realization costs, and the AIFM’s financial support. The scheme is conditional on shareholder approval at General Meetings on 25 November and 5 December 2025, FCA approval, and the Directors’ decision to proceed.
The process involves dividing the Company’s assets into three pools: a **Liquidation Pool** for liabilities, a **Rollover Pool** for shareholders choosing the Sub-Fund, and a **Cash Pool** for those opting for cash. The scheme is expected to be effective by 5 December 2025, with Sub-Fund shares issued and cash payments made shortly thereafter.
The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favor of the proposals, emphasizing they are in the best interests of all shareholders.
