Brooks Macdonald Group (LON:BRK) Announces Earnings Results

Brooks Macdonald Group (LON:BRK) issued its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported GBX 140.80 earnings per share for the quarter, Digital Look Earnings reports. Brooks Macdonald Group had a net margin of 5.71% and a return on equity of 4.43%.

Here are the key takeaways from Brooks Macdonald Group’s conference call:

• Brooks Macdonald reported record FUMA of £21.7 billion, up 14%, with revenue increasing 6% and underlying profit before tax rising 6% to £29 million. The board recommended a full-year dividend of £0.83 per share, up 2.5%.
• The group returned to positive net flows of £226 million, a £600 million improvement year-on-year, supported by three consecutive quarters of improving flows. Platform MPS FUM grew 35% with more than £900 million of net inflows, while BPS outflows improved by around 50%.
• Management said the Brooks Financial acquisitions are progressing well, contributing £17 million of annualized revenue, £3 million of profit before tax and £1.3 million of integration synergies. Financial planning revenue grew 10% organically and now represents roughly 25% of group revenue.
• The company expects FY2027 organic investment to fall materially to the high single-digit millions after the peak transformation spending in FY2026, while maintaining its target of BAU cost growth below 5%. Management expects FY2027 performance to be marginally ahead of current consensus and is targeting medium-term annualized net inflows of 5%.
• Revenue margins are expected to decline slightly in FY2027 because Brooks Macdonald will no longer charge investment-management fees on client cash, with an anticipated revenue impact of a couple of million pounds. MPS yields also moderated due to growth in lower-margin passive and business-to-business offerings, although management said this reflected mix rather than price cuts.
