DWF Group PLC - Manchester, England-based legal business with operations in North America - Expects to report net revenue of about GBP380 million for the financial year ended April 30, reflecting growth of more than 8%. In financial 2022, net revenue was GBP350.2 million. Looking ahead, it says it is highly confident in medium term guidance, underpinned by its cost programme. The cost programme is now expected to remove over GBP15 million of cost by the end of financial 2024, versus the GBP10 million to GBP12 million reported in December 2022. Additionally, says it is pleased with its progress on revenue and costs "in the context of prevailing economic conditions and interest rate rises".

We have delivered consistently strong revenue growth and underlying organic growth, with the initial benefits of our cost control programme also coming through."
