Trading update and notice of results

K3 Capital Group plc, a leading business and company sales specialist in the UK, today announces a trading update following its financial year end on 31 May 2018 (the "Period").

The Company expects to report trading comfortably in line with market expectations for the Period for both revenue and profit. The Group has achieved significant revenue and profit growth across all three of its operating divisions compared to the prior financial year. The growth in revenue was underpinned by the successful scaling of the Group's delivery platform, resulting in an improvement in the overall profit margin.

The Company continues to successfully deliver its core strategy of dealing with more sizeable and profitable clients and is delighted to report that average fee levels continue to increase across both non-contingent fees and transaction fees.

K3 enters its new financial year with a record number of opportunities in its pipeline and expects to see continued growth against its core KPIs, driven by ongoing investment in high quality people.

The Company is encouraged by the M&A activity in the private markets with the Group experiencing an increased number of sellers combined with record numbers of buyers registered.

The Company is also pleased to update that its wholly owned subsidiary KBS Capital Markets Limited has received regulatory approval from the Financial Conduct Authority. This approval enables the Group to broaden its services by providing deal execution for clients wishing to sell down minority stakes in addition to its current offering.

Notice of results

The Company looks forward to updating shareholders on publication of its audited results for the year ended 31 May 2018 on 11 September 2018.

John Rigby, CEO, commented:

"I am delighted with the progress that has been made in what was another record year for K3, and our first full year as a public company. The Group's three brands continue to gain recognition and market share within their respective markets and we are pleased to top the Thomson Reuters Small Cap M&A League Table having completed some 35% more qualifying transactions than any other adviser in the UK.

"We continue to deliver our stated strategy of growing the average deal size across the Company and are confident that we will continue to increase the average transaction fees in the year ahead across all three operating divisions.

"We believe the FCA authorisation of KBS Capital Markets is an exciting and innovative development for our business that enables the Group to unlock an additional revenue stream within its core market.

"I am encouraged by the Group's record pipeline and new revenue opportunity and we remain optimistic that we will continue to deliver healthy growth against our core KPIs over the coming financial year and beyond."
