Numis Corporation Plc provided earnings guidance for the full year ending September 30, 2018. The company delivered a trading performance in the year, although revenue in the second half did not reach the level achieved in a particularly first half. Consequently, the company is expected to report that full year core revenue increased by approximately 3%. Following an unprecedented period of senior-level hiring, targeted at broadening capabilities and the enhancement of client service across the business, headcount has grown 16% over the year and staff related costs will be materially higher than the prior year. Accordingly, profits are expected to be lower than last year.
