Year End Trading Update

Peel Hunt, a leading UK investment bank, today announces a trading update for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 ("FY25").

Group revenues for the full year are expected to be approximately £90m (FY24: £85.8m), an increase of approximately 5% year-on-year. This followed a challenging second half with a number of macro-economic events that weighed on market volumes and corporate activity. During the year we took action to reduce costs, and we expect to deliver a smaller loss before tax than market expectations.

We also made good progress in delivering on our strategic priorities in FY25. Notably, we continued to attract high quality mid-cap and growth companies to the franchise and we now act for 52 FTSE 350 clients (including 5 FTSE 100 companies).

Against a backdrop of continuing slow market conditions, we have an encouraging pipeline of investment banking transactions across both M&A and IPOs. A number of announced M&A transactions are expected to complete in the first quarter of our new financial year.

The Company intends to publish its FY25 preliminary results on 16 June 2025.
