FY21 Unaudited Total Income - Strong end to FY21

Further to its announcement of 3 March 2021, finnCap Group PLC ("finnCap" or the "Company" or the "Group"), a leading provider of strategic advisory and capital raising services to growth companies, is delighted to confirm that unaudited total income for the year ended 31 March 2021 is expected to be approximately £47.3m, an increase of 83% over the prior year.

Performance in March has been stronger than expected across all parts of the Group with the successful completion of further equity fundraisings, private M&A transactions and the Group's fourth IPO of FY21.  

The unaudited divisional performance is set out below:

Sam Smith, CEO commented:

"The Group continued to perform strongly in March, surpassing our expectations.  We acted on secondary equity issues raising a total of £66m, completed the £83.8m IPO of Parsley Box PLC, advised on several private M&A transactions including the sale of David Rubin & Partners, and secured £52m of debt funding for Rockpool Investments' acquisition of Cambridge Maintenance Services.  

This performance is testament to the platform that we have built to service the strategic and financial needs of ambitious growing companies and their management teams.  Our pipeline for Q1 is healthy and I look forward to announcing our full year results in July."
