London, 29 September 2023 The Directors of MBH Corporation PLC (“MBH”), a diversified investment holding company, are pleased to release the results for the half year ending 30 June 2023, highlighting the continued focus on the Group’s growth and diversification strategy and development of its vertical business lines.
For the half-year period, the Group achieved revenue of £66.2 million – a 9% decrease on the same period last year as well as an EBIT of £0.7 million. Gross profit for the period was £12.1m. The financial figures include the results of the two companies acquired in 1H 2023, White Arches Caravans and White Arches Motorhomes, as well as showing a resilient revenue growth for the Group’s expanding Engineering vertical business line, owing to a steady revenue stream from new-projects awarded.
Solid financial position
The balance sheet of the Group remains strong with a net asset position of £72.3 million as of 30 June 2023, a 1% increase versus the same period last year. Operating costs were lower by £2.3m [or 18%] mainly due to reductions in payroll costs, advertising and marketing and the absence of a bad debt provision. Cash generated from operating activities for 1H 2023 was £2.7million. The total number of shares outstanding as of 30 June 2023 was 122,709,146.

Information and Explanation of the Issuer to this announcement:
Victoria Sylvester, CEO, MBH Corporation PLC: "The first half of the year has been challenging for the Group, specifically within our biggest contributor - the construction vertical – with many pre-pandemic projects coming to an end. High inflation on cost of goods, supply chain issues with distribution and delays in project completion have also contributed to the challenges. However, I am pleased to see us moving into new business and the construction vertical, for example, has a healthy pipeline of new projects. In addition, we continue to focus on vertical depth, and our recent acquisitions in the leisure vertical, with two new businesses joining the Group in the first half of the year, demonstrates our progress with regards to our inorganic growth plans”.
