Unaudited Operating Performance and Key Highlights 1 :
- Organic revenue growth of 1%, underpinned by strong performance in UK & Ireland advisory, and continued growth across key European Advisory markets – notably Spain, Germany and Poland.
- Total Group EBITDAE declined year-on-year as revenue growth across most divisions was offset by higher staffing and IT costs. Execution of the target operating model initiative has resumed after being delayed in H1 2025 and is expected to drive margin improvement in 2026.
- New market entry in Portugal in 2025 and an additional 6 acquisitions since June 2025.
