23 December 2025   Christie Group plc ("Christie Group" or the "Company")                                                                                          Trading Update   The Board of Christie Group plc (CTG.L) is pleased to advise that following stronger than anticipated trading, particularly during the last three months of 2025, it now expects to report a stronger full year performance from its continuing operations than previously envisaged.   The Group has seen encouraging activity levels across its Professional & Financial Services division maintained throughout the second half, with particularly strong invoicing now expected to be achieved in Q4. Christie & Co will once again have advised on the sale or purchase of over 1,000 businesses in the UK, but at markedly improved levels of average fee compared to 2024, and its international brokerage operations will also deliver strong year-on-year growth in revenues.   Valuation activity has been strong in both Christie & Co and Pinders, and the Group's finance brokerage brand, Christie Finance, expects to deliver continued growth in both revenues and profit. Renewals performance in its insurance intermediary business, Christie Insurance, is also expected to be stronger than original expectations.   Having entered into an agreement to dispose of its loss-making software business, Vennersys, which it announced on 22nd December 2025, the Group's remaining stocktaking brand, Venners, is expected to contribute growth in revenues and a sustained level of operating profit.   The Group expects to see this strong H2 trading reflected in a positive and improved year end cash position.   The Group expects to issue final audited results for 2025 in April 2026.
