AGM statement and trading update in line

Trading during the first quarter (May to July 2021) was in line with expectations. BEG remains on track to achieve our revenue and adjusted profit forecasts, which are unchanged. As anticipated, the components of forecast double-digit percentage growth in revenue and profits this year are internally driven, rather than market related: specifically recent acquisitions and the bounce back from 2020’s lockdowns.

The two business and financial recovery acquisitions completed last year, CVR Global (January 2021) and David Rubin & Partners (March 2021) and another, MAF Finance Group (May 2021) post the year-end are all performing well. BEG reported successful integrations, identification of synergies and cross selling opportunities.

We have held our forecasts and 165p/share fair value estimate, equivalent to a 17.9x FY22e PER and a 1.9% prospective yield (2.9x covered by adjusted earnings).
