For the six months to 30 June, losses before tax widened to £30.8m from £27.1m a year earlier, while revenues increased 29% to £81.4m.

Loans under management were up 37% to £3.54 for the half year-on-year; originations were up 14% to £1.19 vn year-on-year.

The company left its guidance unchanged from its Q2 update, in which it said it expected to grow revenues by about 20% this year blaming an uncertain economic environment and proactive actions the company took.
