AGM Statement and Q1 Dividend Declaration

 

 

FRP Advisory Group plc, a leading UK specialist business advisory firm is
today holding its Annual General Meeting. Nigel Guy, Non-Executive Chairman,
will make the following statement:

 

"Continuing the trend reported in our Full Year Results announcement on 22
July 2022, we have seen an increase in the level of enquiries for
restructuring services. Businesses have seen the last of the COVID support
measures fall away, and the economy is experiencing significant inflationary
pressure and other disruptive forces. Against that backdrop, there remains
uncertainty as to how proactive key creditors like HMRC and institutional
lenders will be on addressing overdue debts.

 

FRP Corporate Finance's position within the mid-market, typically advising on
transactions up to c.£100m, remains strong. The deal pipeline and general
level of enquiries continue to demonstrate the strength of the Corporate
Finance and Debt Advisory pillars.

 

Overall trading in our current financial year, from 1 May 2022 to date,
remains in line with the Board's expectations. FRP is a resilient business,
with a track record of growth regardless of economic conditions. We have a
strong balance sheet and a structure that provides a good level of flexibility
in our internal capacity nationally, allowing us to be well positioned to
service an increase in demand for our advice from diversified sources.

 

In line with the Company's quarterly dividend policy, the Board is pleased to
declare an interim dividend of 0.85p per eligible ordinary share for the first
quarter ended 31 July 2022 (Q1 FY 2023). The dividend will be paid on 23
December 2022 to shareholders on the register on 25 November 2022, with the
ex-dividend date being 24 November 2022.

 

The Company expects to announce a trading update covering the first half to 31
October 2022 in mid-November 2022."
