Commenting on the results Mark Clubb, Executive Chairman of TEAM, said:
"We are a professional home for serious advisers who want to build, grow, and
eventually exit-on their own terms. There are many such advisers out there,
and that is where our growth will come from. I remain confident in TEAM Plc's
trajectory and our mid-term targets: annual revenue of £20 million, an EBITDA
margin exceeding 30%, and Assets Under Advice/Management of £4 billion.
Execution remains critical. The launch of our UCITS fund is central to driving
growth. With the right support and ongoing adviser recruitment, we believe we
can achieve escape velocity, reaching profitability powered by recurring,
high-quality revenues."

Executive Chairman's Interim Statement
I am pleased to report on the Company's performance for the 6 months to 31
December 2024 during which the business continued to expand and successfully
develop its services.
New Capital
Much of the first half of the financial year (HY24) was dedicated to raising
capital, which has supported our working capital and allowed the early
settlement of deferred consideration relating to the Omega Financial Services
Limited acquisition (July 2022).
We successfully raised a total of £2.96 million through a combination of
equity and convertible loan instruments:
Total Equity Raised: £1.96 million
Convertible Loan Notes: £1 million
Gross Total Raised: £2.96 million
Outstanding deferred considerations have now been largely addressed. We also
remind shareholders of the £1.185 million senior loan due 31 December 2025,
with a 12% coupon.
Cost Management
In parallel with fundraising, a group-wide cost reduction programme is
underway. To date, initiatives have cut annual operating expenses by £669k,
with a further £165k in savings identified and under review.
Efforts to reduce the Group's burn rate continue, focused on enhancing
operational and financial performance.
Notably, we started 2025 with the business in its healthiest cash position to
date, as further detailed in the CFO's report.
Leadership Update
At the end of the period, we said goodbye to Matthew Moore, our Chief
Financial Officer. I would like to thank Matthew for his meaningful
contribution to TEAM Plc, particularly during our formative years. On behalf
of the Board and the wider team, we wish him every success in the future.
I'm pleased to report that Iain Walker has now taken on the role of Group
Finance Director. Iain has settled in extremely well, bringing a measured and
strategic approach to our financial planning and reporting. His early impact
is already evident, as you will read in his report. I look forward to his
continued contribution as we navigate the next phase of our growth.
Trading Update and Financial Results
Total Group revenues for the period increased 41.3% to £5.8 million from
£4.1 million while the underlying loss before tax of the Group was £0.8
million, a decrease from a loss of £1.0 million HY23.
Notable was the improvement in yield (+12.7%) in the investment management
revenues. This is evidence of the scalability and earnings generation from
additional funds under management. The imminent launch of the TEAM Multi Asset
UCITS range of funds will propel this further.
Our funds are highly suitable and appropriate for investors and clients
looking for regulated qualifying offshore investment funds.
While the Group remains loss-making, the improvements and revenues are heading
in the right direction. The objective remains: month-on-month cash breakeven
by the end of FY 2025.
UCITS Fund Launch - A Strategic Priority
The TEAM UCITS fund launch is now within sight, following the signing of a new
Fund Services Agreement with EPIC Fund Services (Dublin) Ltd.
We now have final approvals from the CBI and JFSC. Launch delays have cost us
in terms of fund inflows, but we are positioned for catch-up and strong
momentum. We anticipate inflows from our Neba adviser network across
Singapore, the Emirates, South Africa, Jersey, and Guernsey-supported by
existing client alignment with model portfolio risk profiles.
Divisional Highlights
TEAM Asset Management
· Useful segregated mandate inflows.
· UCITS-ready portfolios delivering consistent, above-average
returns across all risk profiles
· Strong foundation for converting advised assets into managed ones
Concentric
· CISI Chartered Firm-one of only two in Jersey
· 3 new Wealth Consultants added
· Graphene project (custody platform) expected to deliver revenue
of £100K+ pa from late 2025
· £80K pa consulting contract secured from a global fiduciary
company.
JCap
· Revenue growth continued with 2 new client wins.
International (Neba Wealth and Neba Private Clients)
· Division now self-sustaining
· 13 new advisers joined Jan-Mar 2025 (total now 59), pipeline
growing.
· European licence remains a strategic objective.
Strategic Outlook
There are over 230,000 Certified Financial Planners (CFPs) excluding
jurisdictions TEAM Plc has no regulated presence in - an opportunity for
expansion.
There are also tens of thousands of regulated independent advisory firms
operating across Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and smaller
global jurisdictions. All where TEAM Plc has regulated presences.
A typical mid-tier advisor tends to have on average 135 clients, 90 of which
are active with each client on average having $1million. This is our market.
The pool of advisory talent is wide. We are attracting experienced individuals
from this pool to join us. They are doing so because they are confident their
clients will follow them, and our structure enables them to earn more whilst
providing a broader, better and more bespoke service to their clients.
Our Proposition for Clients and Advisors
We serve individuals and families. They are typically professionals,
entrepreneurs, trustees, and retirees-who want more than just investment
returns. They want strategic clarity, risk-managed portfolios, and advice that
aligns with real-life complexity.
Many of our clients face cross-border considerations:
· Multiple tax jurisdictions
· Succession across generations
· Asset protection
· Global mobility
That's why we go beyond investment management.
TEAM integrates tax structuring, wealth planning, and in-house residency and
citizenship services to give clients complete alignment between their money,
their life, and their long-term goals. From generating sustainable income in
retirement to securing second residency options for family stability, our
approach is joined up, disciplined, and built on trust.
For example, second citizenship isn't just a luxury anymore. We're seeing a
new kind of global citizen: looking for optionality across jurisdictions.
Our international businesses Neba Private Clients and Neba Wealth, provide
exactly the kind of clarity and commitment people need in today's world. NEBA,
as part of the London Stock Exchange-listed TEAM Plc, brings something rare:
stability you can verify, accountability you can trust, and strategy that
adapts.
Not just institutional-grade investment management. We pair that with
intelligent, pragmatic advice-designed to preserve capital, generate income,
and protect legacy.
The Neba 5-year buyout agreement offers advisers the full benefit of a
PLC-backed platform, global licensing, and high-integrity investment access
without giving up autonomy or future value. That means transparency,
accountability, and a governance structure built for long-term value.
Neba and TEAM are their partners.
We are a professional home for serious advisers who want to build, grow, and
one day exit. On their terms. And there is great many of them. That's where
our growth will come from and I remain confident in TEAM Plc's trajectory and
our targets across the mid-term:
· Annual revenue target: £20 million
· EBITDA margin: 30%+
· AUA/AUM target: £4 billion
Execution remains key. The UCITS fund launch is central to growth, and with
the right support, and continued adviser recruitment we can reach escape
velocity; profitability, with TEAM's engine running on recurring, high-quality
revenues.

Operational and Financial Review
This report is my first since joining the Group in April. Since then, I have
taken the opportunity to visit a number of the offices in various
jurisdictions, and meet the members of the team, both senior and junior.
During this time, it became clear that the organisation is extremely well
placed for growth. Our talented and dedicated team are committed and driven.
Our culture is open, supportive, and collaborative. Strong client
relationships lie at the core of our business and are central to everything we
do. Together, these factors form a solid foundation for continued development
and success.
A key operational focus from the outset of 2025, has been the ongoing drive to
improve efficiencies and cost benefits across the business. These actions are
already starting to show in the Company's trading results and will continue to
come through during the course of this financial year. The focus has been on
effective outsourcing rather than staff reductions. It is also important to
highlight that the business continues to successfully recruit top talent but
with limited impact on costs as the majority are self-employed advisors
joining our advisory network.
I am also pleased to report that our financial position is approaching the key
target of being self-sustaining, and our revenues continue to grow. The path
to sustained month on month profitability is close.
Review of the results for the period
The table below shows the Group's financial performance for the six months to
March 2025 along with prior comparative periods and provides a reconciliation
to the underlying results, which the Company considers to be an appropriate
reflection of the Group's underlying trading, and the statutory result.
Revenues increased 41.3% to £5.8 million from £4.1 million while the
underlying loss before tax of the group was £0.8 million, a decrease from
£1.0 million. Underlying adjustments of £956,000, reflecting non-cash
expenses, were up from £21,000. The loss per share for the period was 3.6
pence (H1 24 3.5 pence) and no dividend is recommended at this point in the
Company's development (H1 24 nil).

*£72 million of client assets where an investment reporting service is
provided have been excluded from the A&C total.
Within the Investment Management division the model portfolios, now available
on five investment platforms, increased from £97 million (H1 24) to £99
million. Material flows into the models from the Guernsey Advice operation
have yet to materialise, although this is expected to change in the upcoming
months. Additionally, further flows are expected as the portfolios become more
widely available following the imminent launch of the now Central Bank of
Ireland approved and authorised UCITS structure, which will be suitable for
many of our international clients. Additional platforms are also being added:
Utmost, RL360, Ardan International, IFGL, and Moventum.
Revenues
Total revenues rose 41.3% to £5.8 million (H1 24: £4.1 million). Investment
and fund management ("IFM") revenues rose 12.7% to £0.71 million (H1 24:
£0.63 million), reflecting the higher yield on the incremental asset managed
in the models and the increase in AUM. Advisory and Consultancy ("A&C")
revenues rose marginally to £1 million (H1 24: £0.99 million), although net
profit fell significantly to report a loss of £190k (H1 24: £33k), the sole
reason due to the write off of an inter-company loan balance of £330k between
Concentric Jersey and Concentric Guernsey. International continues to
demonstrate sound financial progress as revenues rose 65% to £4.1 million (H1
24: £2.5 million).
Costs
Direct costs, being the cost of commissions paid to international advisers,
and the custody and trading costs incurred for certain clients in IFM, rose
from £1.5 million to £2.74 million an increase of 83%. This is a feature of
the international business model, where the self-employed adviser receives no
or small salaries, and high commission shares on business written. Indirect
cost, being primarily the costs of staff, office, and technology, rose to
£3.85 million, up 6.79% on H1 24. Of this increase of £1.6 million, £1.5
million was from International.
Loss before tax
The resulting loss before tax for the half year was £1.7 million (H1 24:
£1.0 million loss), with the underlying position a loss of £0.8 million (H1
24: £1.0 million loss).
The underlying adjustments are shown in the below table:
6 months ended 31 Mar 2025 (unaudited) 6 months ended 31 Mar 2024 (unaudited) 12 months ended 30 Sept 2023 (audited)

Total underlying adjustments (961) (21) (1,269)
(Loss) before tax (1,757) (1,013) (2,921)
Adjustments to the statutory loss have been selected to give a more
informative indication of the trading of the Group. Amortisation of client
relationships was unchanged at £0.5 million. Acquisition related expenses
incurred in the period were £nil (H1 24 £52k). Changes in deferred
consideration were £nil (H1 24 £0.6 million). Impairment of goodwill in the
period of £188k (H1 24 £nil) was assessed when reviewing the carrying values
of acquired goodwill at the reporting date.

Taxation
Regulated financial services businesses in Jersey pay a flat corporation tax
rate of 10%. The treasury services business is not regulated and has a nil tax
rate. The International entities operate predominantly in nil corporation tax
environments.
Financial position, going concern
The Group's cash position has increased from £1.5 million to £2.16 million.
As at 31 March 2025 the regulated entities within the Group all held more than
the required level of regulatory assets. The Board retains confidence to
consider the going concern basis to be appropriate for the accounts.
Expense Reduction
A group wide push to reduce operating expenses has been implemented. To date,
initiatives have resulted in a total cost reduction of £668k per annum.
Additional reductions of £165k have been identified and are under review. The
drive to reduce burn rate across the group is ongoing with the aim of
improving operational and financial performance.
Dividend
The Group is continuing to build the business, improve efficiencies and
achieve financial autonomy. No dividends are expected to be paid until
underlying profits reach a sufficient level to allow for this.
