Trading through to the end of 2021 continued to be strong. The Group has continued to support its clients to address their key challenges, with Elixirr's services in relation to digital transformation and innovation in high demand.

Subject to the completion of the audit for the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group expects to record revenue of approximately £50.5m, above the market expectation of £47-50m. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately £15.5m, above the market expectation of £15.0m and within the range of 30-32% of revenue previously announced.

The Group has continued to make good progress on all four of its strategic growth pillars, including:

· Buying complementary businesses - we completed the acquisition of The Retearn Group Limited in April 2021 and are seeing good traction with selling their procurement and self-funded transformation services into our client base. We remain focused on inorganic growth and are continuing to explore a number of other attractive acquisition opportunities with companies specialising in solving Board room issues, including in the US market which is the fastest growing part of our business.

The Directors expect further organic revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2022. A more detailed update on expectations for 2022 will be provided by the Directors in conjunction with the release of the full year results for the year ended 31 December 2021 on 4 April 2022.
