PIB Group interim results for the period ended 30 June 2025

September 30 2025

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.

 In June 2025, a new £400m ACF5 facility was agreed with existing lenders to fund future M&A activity and support continued growth and expansion across Europe. This finance will provide the Group with significant capacity to fuel planned growth as an insurance broker focused on European Markets. 

PIB Group Chief Financial Officer; David Winkett commented:
 
“The outlook for the second half of 2025 and beyond remains positive, as PIB Group continues to build on its impressive growth trajectory. This momentum is being driven by a combination of strategic acquisitions and sustained organic growth across our core markets”.
 
“PIB Group remains committed to making significant investments in new and established operational hubs. These investments are designed to support our ongoing expansion and to ensure we are well positioned to capitalise on emerging opportunities, all while maintaining a strong focus on delivering robust and improving margins”.
 
"Our M&A pipeline is currently the strongest it has been in several years, reflecting both the quality of opportunities available and our reputation as a trusted partner in the market. We anticipate that the volume and scale of deals completed in 2025 will exceed those achieved in 2024, further accelerating our growth and market presence”.
