Trading Update
30 March 2021
Numis Corporation Plc ("Numis") is today issuing a trading
update in respect of the six month period ending 31 March 2021
.
Numis is expected to report revenue in the region of GBP110m for
the first half representing growth of more than 75% relative to the
comparative period and comfortably ahead of the record performance
in the second half of FY20.
Investment Banking revenues have benefited from favourable
market conditions and are materially ahead of the first half of
FY20 which was adversely impacted by the initial phase of the
pandemic. The Investment Banking performance in the second half of
FY20 was significantly stronger due to the volume of COVID-19
related fund raises, however revenues for the current six month
period will exceed that performance, highlighting the strength of
our Investment Banking platform. In particular, the positive equity
market backdrop has supported an increase in IPO and M&A
activity which has more than offset the tapering of fund raising
activity for corporate clients. Our strong track record in equity
capital markets and credibility in the digital economy has enabled
us to capture a significant share of IPO transactions over this
period which has contributed to strong growth in both average deal
fees and deal volumes.
Equities is also expected to deliver revenue ahead of both the
comparative period and the second half of FY20. Institutional
income has benefitted from growth in execution commissions
attributable to market share gains and an increase in activity
levels as indices recovered. Our trading book has also delivered
particularly strong and consistent gains throughout the period.
We have good momentum across the business, and we look forward
to the second half with confidence. The Investment Banking pipeline
is encouraging with further IPO and M&A activity anticipated.
In addition, Numis has strong traction within private markets where
our clients are some of the leading global technology disruptors.
Engagement levels with the institutional clients of our Equities
business are at record levels demonstrating the value they place on
our partnership approach and guidance during these unprecedented
times.
We remain focused on investing in the business to strengthen our
capabilities in areas where we see further opportunities aligned to
our growth strategy. We also recognise the importance of supporting
our staff who continue to deliver excellent client service in
circumstances which remain challenging.
Numis will announce half year results for the six month period
ending 31 March 2021 on 7 May 2021.
