Pre-close trading update and notice of results

K3 Capital Group plc, a leading business and company sales specialist in the UK, today announces its pre-close trading update ahead of final results for the year ended 31 May 2017 (the "Period").

K3's strong performance has continued across the Group resulting in significant revenue growth and strengthening underlying Normalised* EBITDA when compared to the prior year. As a result, the Board anticipates reporting revenue and Normalised* EBITDA for the Period comfortably in line with market expectations.

The strong performance has been driven by continued growth across each of the subsidiaries, KBS Corporate, KBS Corporate Finance and Knightsbridge. The Group has maintained its growing momentum and reputation as a leading business and company sales specialist in the UK, winning an increasing number of client mandates at higher average transaction fee values across the Group, compared with prior periods.

John Rigby, CEO of K3 commented:

"We are delighted to update our shareholders on a record year for K3, which included our successful IPO completed on 11th April 2017.

"The Group's strong operational momentum has continued since the IPO and the Board expects to report revenue and Normalised* EBITDA comfortably in line with expectations, further demonstrating the strength of K3's disruptive business model. We have a significant pipeline of opportunities and we remain optimistic that we will continue to deliver growth against our core KPIs over the coming year and beyond."

* Normalised (unaudited) reflects the illustrative historical cost savings of having Triskell and KBS CF personnel as employees of the Group and is stated before non-recurring exceptional expenses incurred during the Period.
