Group Results for 2014

The Group's results for the year ended 31 December 2014 will be released on 26 February 2015.

Unaudited management accounts for the full year indicate that the Group's performance will be at the top end of market expectations. Despite the steep fall in the oil price since June 2014, our Energy business, which represents about 40% of Group fee income, grew its profits significantly in the second half compared with the first half of the year. This was without the benefit of acquisitions and reflects the resilience and long term nature of this business resulting from its broad range of clients and services, as well as its geographical diversity.

The acquisitions made in 2014 have integrated well and will make a significant contribution in 2015.

The terms for two further acquisitions have been agreed. These would further enhance the Group's performance in the current year. One, in the BNE: North America business, is likely to complete before the results are published.

The Board continues to believe that the Group will have another successful year in 2015 and will deliver further growth.
