Financial performance - revenue
Our core business continued to perform well, growing 5.6% excluding volatility in mortgage related commissions. Whilst mortgage related activities experienced a significant 21.2% revenue decline during 2023, this segment remained profitable, and is well positioned for a rapid return to previous performance levels as the UK housing market normalises.
As notified in our half year results, core organic revenue was impacted by the change to the accounting treatment of our largest software reseller agreement. Whilst the EBITDA contribution from this contract remains resilient at historical levels, the statutory accounting treatment applied since May 2023 now represents purely a net revenue and profitability position.
We completed four acquisitions throughout 2023 and the combined core revenue on those acquisitions recognised in the period was £1.5m. A further two acquisitions were completed in January 2024.
The non-core business performed in line with expectations against the UK housing market backdrop, with revenues of £8.4m in the year (FY22: £10.1m). Combined with the core business, statutory revenue was £64.9m (FY22: £66.5m).

운영 하이라이트

Outlook
The core business continues to deliver resilient earnings in line with Board expectations for FY23, with the ongoing pressures in the UK housing market largely offset by ongoing growth in fintech software revenue and software license sales.
Fintel's market leading position and diverse customer base provide resilience against these macroeconomic headwinds. With expectations that interest rates and market activity will adjust positively in 2024, we are well placed to benefit from a recovery in the mortgage market.
We continue to benefit from structural drivers including increasing regulatory requirements as a result of the FCA Consumer Duty regulation, being well positioned to support both financial intermediaries and product providers in evidencing suitability during the financial product development and sales lifecycle.
Our sustainable growth is complemented by strategic investments to improve and expand our offering, allowing us to better support our customers as they navigate an evolving UK financial services market. We maintain a strong M&A pipeline to continue to acquire complementary service offerings to our growing platform of services, underpinned by significant headroom in our £80m revolving Credit Facility.
Our strategy of creating a wider support platform for UK retail financial services will continue to enhance our future earnings, proposition and growth opportunities.
Fintel plc의 공동 CEO인 Matt Timmins는 다음과 같이 말했습니다.
"In 2023 we made significant strategic progress, increased our scale, and reach through the acquisition of four businesses to our platform, and delivered a resilient financial performance in line with expectations. We have demonstrated continued evidence of our capacity and ability to drive organic growth, source and execute complementary acquisitions, and invest in our technology and data propositions.
"In line with our strategy, we are completely focused on consolidating a fragmented market to enhance our scale, proposition, and IP, as we continue to inspire better outcomes for UK retail financial services. Today, we welcome yet another market leader in Owen James Events, a business with huge potential, and our sixth acquisition in twelve months.
"We are confident of delivering further progress in the year ahead as we continue to scale our proposition, realise our very active M&A pipeline and invest in our service and technology platform, with our growth underpinned by recuring incomes and positive structural market drivers."
