On track for 10% annual revenue & profit growth
H1’24 revenue (to 30 Nov 23) totalled £59.1m, 8% up y-o-y (H1’23: £54.9m), with 4% organic revenue growth. H2 revenue is typically higher than H1 due to end of tax-year advice and H2 weighting of client year-ends, and we maintain our FY24 revenue forecast of £123.6m (+11% y-o-y).MTW remains in a strong net cash position (£32.7m v £45.0m on 31 May 23), giving scope to pursue opportunities. Cash is as expected with c. £9.3m paid in dividends and some tranche-payments of previous acquisitions made. We expect cash to exceed £40m by year-end.
As in FY23, MTW has reported growth within the core pension consultancy and employee benefits business segments, with the proposed changes to pension and tax rules announced in the Chancellor’s recent Autumn Statement driving strong demand for advice.
