Profitability Pressure: Gross profit fell 10% to GBP 4 million, and EBIT dropped from GBP 0.7 million to GBP 0.1 million, mainly due to one-off impacts from cartel settlements.

Cash Generation: Net cash generated from completed cases increased 3% to GBP 7.8 million, and the cash balance rose 67% to GBP 1.1 million.
Market Activity: Record-high new case referrals (505 in H1), with increasing high-value claim opportunities from rising UK insolvencies.
Strategic Focus: The company will continue concentrating on UK insolvency claims, prioritizing investment in new cases over share buybacks.
