Key financial data

Our diversified business model continues to support clients in reaching good outcomes and has delivered robust financial performance, with year-on-year revenue growth of 26% and increasing both underlying and statutory profit by around 50%.

Whilst a challenging market backdrop and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis has constrained platform flows and dealing volumes, clients have benefitted from our diversified platform, with Active Savings flows at a record £3.2bn.

We welcomed a further 67,000 net new clients to our service over the period taking our total client numbers to over 1.8 million, with client retention increasing during the period to 92.2%. Our focus remains on engaging with clients and helping them to navigate the challenging backdrop.

The progress we have made over this period is thanks to the work of our colleagues and their focus on supporting our clients."
