Sam Smith, CEO commented:

"Our strategy to diversify our service offering to meet the broader strategic and financial needs of ambitious growing companies has enabled us to generate record revenue of GBP52.4m up 12% on FY21.

In FY22, we raised c.GBP700m of equity for clients, advised on 7 public company M&A transactions with an aggregate value of over GBP800m, on 22 private M&A transactions with an aggregate value of c.GBP1.3 billion and arranged c.GBP400m of debt financings.

The finnCap Cavendish team had an exceptional year, helping clients capitalise in good M&A market conditions and delivered its best-ever revenue performance.

Operating in a more complex equity market in H2, in particular following the tragic events in Ukraine, the finnCap Capital Markets team performed well delivering its second best-ever annual revenue performance and a result in line with our expectations.

I look forward to announcing our full year results in July."
