Update shows FY23 well ahead of forecasts

The FY23 trading update notes a strong performance for the 12 months to end April 2023, well ahead of our forecasts. BEG has progressively built scale and profile in key target competencies and markets and benefited from its enhanced reputation as a provider of mid-market insolvency services.

The announcement anticipates double digit growth y-o-y; revenues 11% ahead at £122m (FY22: £110m), adjusted PBT 16% up at £20.7m (FY22: £17.8m). Predicted end FY23 net cash should be in line with our prediction at £3m (2022: £5m), despite c £11m of acquisition/earn out payments during the period.

The group’s two divisions performed well. Revenues from Business Recovery and Financial Advisory were c 10% ahead of the prior year and include c 6% organic growth in business recovery activities. Property Advisory and Transactional Services recorded 12% segmental revenue growth (3% organic).

We shall publish FY24e forecasts shortly after further analysis, but the Group outlook for further growth is certainly confident which underpins our current 175p / share fair value estimate.
