(Sharecast News) - Pathos Communications said on Tuesday that it had secured the largest contract in its history, a $0.7m 12-month agreement with an existing client, further underpinning expectations for the 2026 financial year.
The AIM-traded PR technology company said the contract was with a longstanding client, a major non-profit consulting firm, and was expected to generate more than $0.5m of EBITDA across 2026 and 2027.
The engagement included a suite of Pathos's premium multi-channel services, including television placements on leading US national business networks, podcasts, written articles and book publishing services.
Pathos said the contract demonstrated its expanding product mix and the growing importance of higher-value channels in driving revenue diversification, deeper client engagement and margin progression.
The client had worked with Pathos since 2023, with the latest mandate increasing lifetime value to almost $1.0m.
The company said the contract highlighted its ability to build long-term, high-value customer relationships.
Pathos said repeat and expanding client engagements were becoming an increasingly important part of its business model, with repeat customers accounting for more than 30% of 2025 revenue and continuing to grow.
The company said the revenue visibility from the contract further supported management's confidence in meeting market expectations for 2026.
Founder and chief executive Omar Hamdi said the agreement reflected the strength of Pathos's relationships and clients' confidence in its ability to deliver outcomes across multiple media channels.
"What is particularly exciting is the journey behind this contract," he said. "This client first engaged with us in 2023, paused activity for approximately a year, and returned last year, before now returning once again with a significantly larger mandate."
Hamdi said management believed there could be multiple similar opportunities across the existing client base.
"While our mission remains to democratise PR for the 400 million SMEs globally, this contract demonstrates that, as our platform scales, some of those relationships can evolve into substantial, multi-channel partnerships," he said.
At 1348 BST, shares in Pathos Communications were up 3.13% at 33p.
