Management consultancy Mind Gym booked a rise in first-half profit, though its underlying performance was hurt by higher operating costs.
Pre-tax profit for the six months through September increased to £3.9m, up from £1.1m on-year.
Revenue climbed 24% to £23.9m, though adjusted profit fell 3.6% to £4.0m.
The company's gross profit margin slipped 2.8 percentage points to 78.8%, which it said reflected rising revenue leading to higher coaching costs.
Mind Gym declared an interim dividend of 0.90p per share, up 13% on-year.
'Company bosses are increasingly turning to corporate culture as a strategic tool to drive performance,' chief executive Octavius Black said.
'Our strong revenue growth in the first half shows that leading businesses are choosing our proven behavioural science-based solutions over traditional alternatives.'
'We continue to make significant investments in infrastructure, our digital proposition, talent and senior leadership in our pursuit of long term, sustainable growth.'
