* Good progress is being made with the Volkswagen AG
("VW") emissions case ahead of the scheduled court

million of funding raised at the end of 2021 towards
the acquisition of Mercedes emissions cases. Total

to GBP4.7 million (2021: GBP2.2 million), with profit
of GBP2.4 million (2021 H1: GBP1.1 million).
Outlook
The Group has shown robust growth during the period and
plans to optimise cash generation in the second half year.
The Board has confidence in meeting market expectations

Commenting on the Interim Results, Alan Sellers, Executive Chairman of Anexo Group plc, said:
"I am delighted to report that the Group has continued its strong performance during the first half of the year. Business activity in both our credit hire and legal services divisions has grown strongly.
"We are proud of the social value of the services we offer. Anexo provides assistance to people who find themselves in an invidious position through no fault of their own, whether through being deprived of an essential vehicle or through living in substandard housing conditions, along with the other problems which may be exacerbated by such situations. We remain committed to providing help to those who might otherwise be unable to obtain redress.
"We continue to manage our vehicle fleet carefully and to maximise cash collections by identifying appropriate hire opportunities, particularly within the motorcycle sector; this allows for more efficient use of working capital whilst also increasing the overall number of case settlements.
"The strong progress being made in housing disrepair and emissions will underpin the continued growth in the core business, and the Board remains confident in meeting market expectations for the year."

Executive Chairman's Statement
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to introduce Anexo's results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022. The Group has continued to demonstrate the effectiveness of its business model. Vehicle numbers within the credit hire division have grown, while increased case settlements within the legal services division have ensured a good rise in cash collections.
Demand for hire vehicles shows no signs of abating. We continue to recruit staff in targeted areas within the legal services division, while case settlements and cash collections continue to grow. This points to plenty of opportunities for the Group, albeit at lower levels of growth to ensure that cash generation can be further improved.
H1 2022 Group Performance
Anexo has delivered a strong performance across all key Group financial metrics and KPIs over the first six months of the year. Group revenues in H1 2022 increased by 42% to GBP68.6 million (H1 2021: GBP48.3 million) and profit before tax rose by 52% to GBP13.6 million (H1 2020: GBP8.9 million).
Credit Hire Division
Demand for vehicles has remained strong throughout the period following the decisive return of traffic levels to pre-pandemic levels. The average number of vehicles on the road during H1 2022 reached 2,043 (H1 2021: 1,461), a 40% increase on the prior year. The Group is committed to careful management of vehicle numbers to maximise efficient use of working capital; as a consequence, the overall number of vehicles on the road has been declining toward the end of the first half of the year and at the period end the number stood at 1,947. This still represents an 11.9% increase on the H1 2021 number but shows a reduction of 17.7% on the 2,366 vehicles on the road at the end of FY 2021.
This performance led to growth in Credit Hire revenue of 62%, up from GBP26.3 million in H1 2021 to GBP42.5 million in H1 2022. Profit before tax in the Credit Hire division rose by 36% to GBP10.9 million in H1 2022 (H1 2021: GBP8.0 million). Completed vehicle hires rose by 35% to 5,501 in H1 2022 (H1 2021: 4,081). This increase has been supported by the agreement with MCE Insurance announced on 25 November 2021 as well as by a number of protocols with insurance counterparties.
Legal Services Division
Credit Hire
The Group remains committed to its strategy of increasing its claim settlement capacity, thereby maximising cash collections. The number of senior fee earners employed at the end of H1 2022 rose by 41% to 247 (H1 2021: 175) and the overall number of legal staff rose from 578 in H1 2021 to 633 in H1 2022, an increase of 10%.
This investment has underpinned continued growth in cash collections, which rose 20% in H1 2021 to a total of GBP67.9 million (H1 2021: GBP56.7 million). Revenues from the Legal Services division, which strongly converts to cash, increased by 8.1% to GBP21.4 million in H1 2022 (H1 2021: GBP19.8 million). Profit before taxation rose from GBP1.5 million in H1 2021 to GBP2.5 million in H1 2022, an increase of 67%. The Group expects this revenue trend to continue as more of our staff reach maturity from a cash collection and settlement position.
Housing Disrepair
The Group's Housing Disrepair ("HDR") division continues to show significant growth. The number of ongoing claims currently stands at approximately 2,300 cases. HDR continues to require additional cash funding; this amounted to GBP0.3 million in the first half year, with profit of GBP2.4 million (2021 H1: GBP1.1 million).
Emissions Litigation
The advocacy team continues to act on behalf of a number of individuals in the pursuit of a claim against VW and its subsidiaries (the "VW Emissions case"). The Group announced on 26 May 2022 that it is engaged in approximately 13,000 cases. The Group remains in discussions with VW and its representatives around a possible settlement of these claims.
The Group continues to pursue other emissions cases, particularly in relation to Mercedes Benz. Total expenditure that has been expensed in the H1 2022 is GBP1.3 million (H1 2021: GBP0.5 million). The Group currently has approximately 4,000 Mercedes cases.
The Board believes there is a significant short-term opportunity to accelerate growth in emissions claims against specific vehicle manufacturers, as well as HDR claims. Accordingly, the Group has negotiated an increase in its loan agreement with Blazehill Capital, first announced on 11 May 2022, from GBP7.5 million to GBP15 million. The funds will be drawn down immediately to take advantage of this opportunity. The costs in targeting further emissions claims will be expensed in the normal way and the Group will update the market with details of emissions expenditure on a regular basis.
Dividend
The Board believes that the emissions opportunity warrants significantly increased investment over the next few months and has therefore resolved that the interests of the Group and its shareholders would be best served by paying an annual dividend following the announcement of the Group's full year results.
Outlook
The Group has shown robust growth in the first half and plans to optimise cash generation in the second half year with a focus on improving the vehicle mix. The Board has confidence in meeting market expectations for the year with a focus on continuing the strong progress in Housing Disrepair and maximising the emissions opportunities.

Anexo Group Plc
Notes to the Interim Statements
For the unaudited period ended 30 June 2022
1. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards and in accordance with International Accounting Standard ('IAS') 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
The information for the year ended 31 December 2021 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on these accounts was not qualified and did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain statements under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The condensed unaudited financial statements for the six months to 30 June 2022 have not been audited or reviewed by auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption.
The Directors have assessed the future funding requirement of the Group and have compared them to the levels of available cash and funding resources. The assessment included a review of current financial projections to December 2023. Having undertaken this work, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group has adequate resources to finance its operations for the foreseeable future and accordingly, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Interim Report.
2. Segmental Reporting
The Group's reportable segments are as follows:
-- the provision of credit hire vehicles to individuals who have had a non-fault accident, and
-- associated legal services in the support of the individual provided with a vehicle by the Group and other legal service activities, and
-- vehicle emissions litigation, and -- Group and central costs.
Management monitors the operating results of business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources to be allocated and of assessing performance.

In July 2020 Direct Accident Management Limited secured a GBP5.0m loan facility from Secure Trust Bank Plc, under the Government's CLBILS scheme. The loan was secured on a repayment basis over the three year period, with a three month capital repayment holiday.
Direct Accident Management Limited is also party to a number of leases which are secured over the respective assets funded.
The revolving credit facility is secured by way of a fixed charge dated 26 September 2019, over all present and future property, assets and rights (including uncalled capital) of Bond Turner Limited. The loan is structured as a revolving credit facility which is committed for a three-year period, until 13 October 2024, with no associated repayments due before that date. Interest is charged at 3.25% over the Respective Rate.
In July 2020 Anexo Group Plc secured a loan of GBP2.1m from a specialist litigation funder to support the investment in marketing costs associated with the VW Emissions Class Action.

In addition to the interest charges the loan attracts a share of the proceeds to be determined by reference to the level of fees generated for the Group.
In November 2021 a further GBP3.0m loan was sourced from certain of the principal shareholders and directors of the Group to support the investment in 2022 of the Mercedes Benz emissions claim. The terms of the loan are that interest accrues at the rate of 10% per annum, with maturity two years from the date of receipt of funding with an option to repay early without charge. In addition to the interest charges the loan attracts a share of the proceeds to be determined by reference to the level of fees generated for the Group.
