CEO's Review
Despite macroeconomic and political uncertainty, Mercia continues to demonstrate resilience through the breadth of our platform, regional focus, disciplined investment approach and growing operational efficiency.
As others pause or retrench, we continue to invest – in talent, in innovation and in the UK regions that will power the next generation of growth, as we look to benefit from the tail winds within private markets.
CFO's Review
The Group’s first-half performance continues to demonstrate Mercia’s robust fundamentals with growth in EBITDA and EBITDA margin. This continued growth, alongside the cash generative nature of Mercia’s fund management activities, supports a c.5% increase in the interim dividend to 0.39 pence per share.
We remain confident that current momentum will continue during the second half of this financial year.
