----------
MHA PLC - Milton Keynes-based provider of audit, tax, accountancy and advisory services - MHA says it expects to report annual profit that beats expectations and revenue that lands in line. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation advance 12% to GBP46 million in the financial year that ended March 31 from GBP41.1 million in financial 22025. Revenue rises at the same pace to GBP251 million from GBP224.2 million. Adjusted Ebitda is "ahead of market expectations" and revenue "in line". "The group continued to trade strongly through the second half of the year. Demand remained robust across all four service lines, supported by rising regulatory complexity and growing client demand for integrated, multi-service advisers. The group's sector-led approach continued to differentiate it in the market, with double-digit fee growth in financial services, manufacturing and engineering, and professional services," MHA says. "The structural drivers of demand for MHA's services remain firmly in place. The board sees a clear runway for growth, supported by organic expansion across the group's four service lines, a healthy pipeline of acquisition opportunities both in the UK and overseas, and continued investment in technology, AI, talent and sector specialisation." MHA is "confident" in its prospects for the new financial year and in its medium-term aim of annual revenue in excess of GBP500 million.
