📋 Highlights
  • Revenue Growth: 17.3% increase to GBP 172.6 million in H1 2025, driven by 11% net organic growth.
  • EBITDA Performance: EBITDA rose 15.1% to GBP 56.5 million, with a margin of 32.8%.
  • Strategic Acquisitions: Citi Trust acquisition completed in July 2025; pending KHT acquisition at 6x EBITDA expected to be earnings accretive by 2026.

Valuation Metrics

With a P/E Ratio of -296.82 and P/S Ratio of 7.28, the market has priced in significant growth expectations. The EV/EBITDA ratio stands at 60.41, indicating a relatively high valuation. The Dividend Yield is 0.95%, suggesting a modest return for income investors.

Strategic Acquisitions and Future Outlook

Strategic acquisitions, including Citi Trust (completed July 2025) and pending Kleinwort Hambros Trust (KHT) at 6x EBITDA, are expected to drive earnings accretion by 2026. The U.S. now contributes 31% of revenue, up from 4% at IPO, with plans to expand to 35% post-acquisition. JTC aims to double its size by 2027, supported by a strong new business pipeline and disciplined M&A approach.

Regulatory Environment and Challenges

Regulatory interactions remain a burden, though Moneyval visits to Jersey and Guernsey were positive. Increased regulatory interest from the Netherlands and Luxembourg has emerged in the past six months. Achieving a 38% margin target is still possible but is more challenging than when the 33%-38% target was set, due to factors like growth, tech investment, and market dynamics.
