FRP Advisory Group (LSE:FRP) reported its seventh straight year of revenue and profit growth, with revenue increasing 16% to £177 million in FY2026 and adjusted underlying EBITDA rising 12%. The business delivered growth across each of its five established service lines, led by restructuring and corporate finance, despite a challenging environment for many UK companies. Performance was supported by a combination of organic expansion, targeted acquisitions and continued investment in employees and technology.
Strategic acquisitions broaden advisory capabilities
During the year, FRP strengthened its service offering through a series of strategic investments. The acquisition of One Advisory expanded the group’s governance, IPO and listed company advisory capabilities, while the purchase of Arc & Co. established a new sixth business pillar focused on real estate advisory.
The company also acquired a 25% stake in AI-powered Queens Tower Advisory, further enhancing its ability to deliver technology-enabled solutions alongside its existing advisory services.
Strong balance sheet supports continued expansion
FRP ended the financial year with net cash of £26.2 million and no external borrowings, providing significant financial flexibility to support future growth. The company also delivered its sixth consecutive annual dividend increase while improving revenue per partner through greater operational efficiency.
Headcount increased 12% to 894 employees as the firm expanded its specialist teams and geographic footprint, allowing it to service a broader range of assignments across the UK and international markets.
Market position continues to strengthen
The group reinforced its leadership in the UK administration market during the year while improving its ranking in mergers and acquisitions advisory. Higher transaction volumes and increased deal values reflected growing demand from both corporate clients and private equity firms, further strengthening FRP’s competitive position.
Management believes its diversified advisory platform leaves the business well placed to benefit from both growth opportunities and restructuring activity across varying economic conditions.
Investment outlook
FRP’s investment case is supported by consistent financial growth, a strong balance sheet and continued strategic expansion through acquisitions. Technical indicators also suggest a positive longer-term trend, while the company’s valuation appears balanced relative to its growth prospects and dividend profile.
Although recent earnings call data is limited, the group’s operational performance and strategic progress continue to support a constructive outlook.
