Shares in K3 Capital Group PLC (AIM:K3C) leapt 14% after the advisor to small and medium enterprises said full-year results are "expected to be comfortably ahead of market expectations and significantly ahead of [the] prior year."
The group anticipates sales and adjusted EBITDA to increase by 43% to £67.5mln and 24% to £19.5mln respectively for the full year ended 31 May 2022.
All three business divisions - business revenues, restructuring and tax sales - are expected to report "very strong performances," according to the provider of specialist advisory services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
K3 expects the business sales division to have a record year - up 34% - boosted by continued organic growth momentum enabled by its data-driven marketing technology platform.
"We have seen strong growth across all of our business divisions underpinned by the group's proprietary data-driven marketing platform and cross-referral network, which continues to drive competitive differentiation and deliver a strong pipeline of opportunities across the group," John Rigby, chief executive, said.
The group flagged it will also have a "robust balance sheet" with £12mln net cash - which will provide headroom to fund organic investment and acquisition opportunities.
