H1 2026 earnings summary9 Dec, 2025

Executive summary

  • Revenue increased 9.3% year-over-year to £94.3m in H1, with 8.6% organic growth, the strongest in three years, driven by management initiatives and investment returns.

  • Interim dividend maintained at 3.3p per share, reflecting consistent shareholder returns.

  • Investments in people, systems, and platforms supported growth and operational improvements.

  • Margin progression was held back by ongoing investments, cost increases, and a Q2 slowdown in transactional services.

  • Management remains confident in meeting full-year consensus expectations.

Financial highlights

  • H1 revenue reached £94.3m, up from £86.3m last year, with utilization rising to 89% from 88%.

  • Underlying operating profit margin declined to 9.2% from 10.5% due to increased staff and overhead costs.

  • Underlying profit before tax fell 10.8% to £9.5m; underlying diluted EPS was 5.65p.

  • Net debt increased to £19.6m, mainly due to M&A, investments, CapEx, and share recirculation.

  • Lock-up days increased to 170, with debtor days at 97, reflecting slower client payments and more contentious work.

Outlook and guidance

  • H2 expected to benefit from lifted client inertia and return of transactional activity, with full-year results anticipated to be in line with market consensus.

  • Returns from recent investments and cost savings in H1 expected to enhance H2 performance.

  • Targeting at least a 13.5% underlying operating profit margin in the medium term.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
