IntegraFin Holdings PLC on Wednesday said interim profit growth was driven by strong net inflows and favourable market movements. The London-based investment platform operator said pretax profit rose 47% to £43.9 million in the half-year to March from £29.8 million the year prior. On an underlying basis, pretax profit increased 16% to £43.9 million from £37.9 million. Revenue climbed 11% to £85.8 million from £77.2 million on-year, driven by higher funds under direction. Closing FUD of £77.8 billion was up 18% on-year from £65.9 billion, with strong net inflows of £2.4 billion, up 14% from £2.1 billion. Diluted earnings per share jumped 59% to 10.0 pence from 6.3p, or by 14% to 10.0p from 8.8p on an underlying basis. The Transact client base increased 5.6% to 254,700 from 241,200 a year ago, and IntegraFin said the platform is well positioned to continue capturing a strong share of adviser platform market net inflow. The firm said it remains on track to deliver on guidance that full year cost growth for financial 2026 and 2027 is limited to around 3% per annum. ‘The combination of the group’s revenue growth fundamentals and realising savings from the group’s cost management initiatives puts [IntegraFin] in a strong position to continue to accelerate profit growth and enhance profit margin in the coming years, driven by recurring revenue and scale benefits,’ the firm added. A half-year dividend of 3.8 pence per share was declared, up 15% from 3.3p a year ago. Shares fell 3.4% to 326.00p each in London on Wednesday. Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
