NAHL Group Plc provided earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Group revenues for the Period are expected to be slightly ahead of last year at £21.0 million (H1 2022: £20.7 million). The Group's strategy to invest in new claims in its wholly-owned law firm, National Accident Law ("NAL") - which have a long life cycle but produce higher returns - and the planned reduction in claims still to settle in the joint venture partnerships is expected to result in operating profit of approximately £1.8m versus £2.3m in H1 2022.

This will also result in the charge to profit attributable to members' non-controlling interests in LLPs being lower than last year by 30% at £1.4m (H1 2022: £1.9m). This is in keeping with stated strategy of growing NAL, and in the short term these factors, along with increased borrowing costs due to the rise in UK interest rates, mean that the Group is expected to report a broadly breakeven result (before tax) for the Period (H1 2022: £0.1m profit before tax).
