Sam Smith, CEO commented:

"We closed 4 further M&A deals between our AGM update on 23rd September and the end of the first half of the year and group revenue is up 55%. In H1, we raised GBP243m of equity for clients, advised on 5 public company M&A transactions with an aggregate value of nearly GBP500m and on 13 private M&A transactions with an aggregate value of GBP1 billion.

Our finnCap Capital Markets team performed well - in a comparatively quieter period - and revenue is in line

with our expectations.    finnCap Cavendish has clearly capitalised on a robust M&A market.

Our overall revenue growth shows the clear benefit of our strategy to diversify our products beyond ECM - undertaken over the past 3 years - to service the broader strategic and financial needs of ambitious growing companies. Our pipeline is healthy and we now feel confident in delivering a revenue outcome for the year within an upgraded range of GBP45-50m.

I look forward to announcing our interim results and updating investors on our current trading and dividend expectations for FY22 later in November."
