Trading update and interim dividend declaration

27 June 2022

The Board of Tavistock is pleased to confirm that, as signalled in the Company's interim results (announced on 6 December 2021), revenues achieved by the Group's advisory business in the financial year to 31 March 2022 have exceeded £32.0 million, which was 14% more than the entire Group's revenues in the prior year (Group revenues year ended 31 March 2021: £28.7 million).  The Group's investment management business was sold to Titan Wealth Holdings Limited in August 2021 and therefore made a negligible revenue contribution during the year ended 31 March 2022.

This was the most successful trading year in the Company's history and has positioned it well to achieve its strategic objectives.

The Board anticipates releasing the Company's full audited results for the year to 31 March 2022, in mid-September 2022.

In January 2022, the Company announced the acquisition of a 21% interest in LEBC Holdings Limited ("LEBC"), an independent national business providing financial advice to retail clients and employee benefits advice to corporate clients. LEBC is estimated to have c.78,000 clients with c.£4.2 billion of assets under advice. The Board is working closely with the management of LEBC to maximise the value of this investment for the benefit of both Tavistock's and LEBC's shareholders.

In May 2022, Tavistock announced the acquisition of LEBC Hummingbird Limited ("Hummingbird") from LEBC. Hummingbird is an unregulated business that provides research on the asset class allocations to be used within funds and model portfolios. As such it occupies a position of significant influence within LEBC.

Interim dividend

In keeping with its stated objective of developing a growing dividend stream for the benefit of the Company's shareholders, the Board is pleased to declare an interim dividend of 0.07 pence gross per ordinary share.  The interim dividend is 40% higher than the dividend paid to shareholders in October 2021.  The record date for the interim dividend will be Friday, 8 July 2022 and the payment date will be Friday, 22 July 2022.

Brian Raven, Tavistock's Chief Executive, commented: "The Company has made tremendous progress during the last year, and our current focus is on strengthening our partnerships with both Titan Wealth and LEBC, as well as maximising the benefits from our ownership of Hummingbird. We continue to be acquisitive and look forward to updating shareholders on progress in due course."
