RNS Number : 5475M  Christie Group PLC  23 December 2025

23 December 2025

 

Christie Group plc

("Christie Group" or the "Company")

 

 
                                   Trading Update

 

The Board of Christie Group plc (CTG.L) is pleased to advise that following
stronger than anticipated trading, particularly during the last three months
of 2025, it now expects to report a stronger full year performance from its
continuing operations than previously envisaged.

 

The Group has seen encouraging activity levels across its Professional &
Financial Services division maintained throughout the second half, with
particularly strong invoicing now expected to be achieved in Q4. Christie
& Co will once again have advised on the sale or purchase of over 1,000
businesses in the UK, but at markedly improved levels of average fee compared
to 2024, and its international brokerage operations will also deliver strong
year-on-year growth in revenues.

 

Valuation activity has been strong in both Christie & Co and Pinders, and
the Group's finance brokerage brand, Christie Finance, expects to deliver
continued growth in both revenues and profit. Renewals performance in its
insurance intermediary business, Christie Insurance, is also expected to be
stronger than original expectations.

 

Having entered into an agreement to dispose of its loss-making software
business, Vennersys, which it announced on 22nd December 2025, the Group's
remaining stocktaking brand, Venners, is expected to contribute growth in
revenues and a sustained level of operating profit.

 

The Group expects to see this strong H2 trading reflected in a positive and
improved year end cash position.

 

The Group expects to issue final audited results for 2025 in April 2026.
