Time4Advice:

-- Total chargeable users of CURO software of 2.7k as at 30 June 2023, an increase of over 8% during the quarter.

Alex Scott, IHP Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"I am pleased to report a quarter of solid net inflows for the Transact platform, with gross inflows of GBP1.5bn and net inflows of over GBP0.6bn. This is pleasing considering the tough macro-economic environment and reflects the strength of our market position and the attractions of our platform. Outflows remained broadly in line with previous quarters, highlighting the resilience of our business model. Additionally, our guidance for FY23 and FY24, issued in May 2023, remains unchanged.

As announced on 7 July, we have appointed Euan Marshall as Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Euan will also join the Board of IHP as an Executive Director by January 2024. I look forward to working with Euan and he will be a strong addition to the senior management team.

The digitalisation programme for the Transact platform is going well and is being positively received by financial advisers. Client and adviser numbers continue to grow at a pleasing rate, and we have added 1.4k net new clients to the platform in Q3 FY23. The client retention rate remains strong at over 96% on an annualised basis, emphasising the trust that both advisers and clients have in the Transact platform. Furthermore, the Transact platform share of net flows to the adviser platform market continues to grow (reaching over 19% for the first half of the financial year 2023).

At Time4Advice the number of chargeable users of the current CURO software is growing, with 200 new users signed up in the quarter. We are also continuing to further refine the next version of the CURO software.

The outlook for the UK economy is uncertain as we wait to see the full effects of the Bank of England's interest rate increases. However, we expect net inflows to the Transact platform to continue to be resilient, and we remain focused on our aim to be the number one provider of software and services for clients and UK financial advisers."
