1. Total underlying revenues and operating profit are detailed in note 4.
Commenting on the results and prospects, Richard Mace, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Our performance in H1 2024 reflects the investment made across the business over the past three years. This investment is ongoing, and we are currently in a transition phase where top-line revenue growth is fueling further investment in our sales and marketing, teaching, and back-office functions, setting the stage for accelerated growth in 2025. Whilst Pathways and Juniors are thriving due to strong demand, our adult ELT centres are not experiencing equal growth. We are taking measures to address this, including launching low-season and academic group programmes to improve staff and centre utilisation throughout the year at our permanent schools.
Looking ahead, our forward bookings and revenue visibility for H2 2024 and early 2025 provide confidence in Malvern's short- and long-term prospects, with growth anticipated across all divisions in 2025."

Chief Executive's review
Malvern has seen a significant improvement in revenues, student numbers and mix, and business pipeline in H1 2024, and we are pleased to have posted a small profit for the Period.
Financial review
Underlying revenues, excluding agent commission, increased to £5.10m (H1 2023: £4.18m). Revenue growth was driven by higher student numbers in University Pathways and, to a lesser extent, by Junior summer centres, where revenue is predominately recognised in July and August (H2 2024).
Underlying operating profit was £0.39m (H1 2023: £0.50m) due to increased strategic investment in people, travel and marketing activities.
Staff costs increased by £0.56m in H1 2024 compared to H1 2023. This rise included £0.09m for additional summer centres staffing to accommodate the higher numbers of Junior students, £0.14m for new sales staff, £0.07m in additional bonus accruals, £0.03m in staff settlement costs, £0.07m in additional recruitment costs and the remainder in salary increases and new operational staff. Travel expenses also increased by £0.12m in H1 2024 as a result of intensified business development and sales and marketing efforts to accelerate revenue and profit growth across all divisions.
Statutory operating profit was £0.35m (H1 2023: £0.40m).
We remain profitable before tax, achieving an underlying profit of £0.18m (H1 2023: £0.34m). The statutory profit per share from operating activities was 0.57p (H1 2023: 0.91p).
We continue to maintain tight cost controls whilst making strategic investments to increase the depth of our teams, systems and processes to support our growth plans.
Cash balances at 30 June 2024 were £1.31m (31 December 2023: £2.20m and 30 June 2023: £2.12m). This reduction was due to the delay in Junior summer centre receivables, which fell into H2 2024. As at the date of this interim announcement, the majority of the Junior's receivables has now been collected.
We continue to pay down the BOOST&CO debt, which stood at £2.02m at the period end, down from £2.24m as of 31 December 2023. No payments were made to reduce the BOOST&CO debt in H1 2023.
Operating review
University Pathways
The number of students studying in our University Pathways programmes in H1 2024 (794 students) was significantly higher than H1 2023 (500 students). Of these, 783 students were enrolled at the University of East London (UEL) International Study Centre.
The performance in student recruitment is driven by our expanded international sales team and our expertise in managing and converting the student pipeline from across the world. We continue to invest in staffing and operational arrangements, focusing on learning, teaching and pastoral excellence to maximise student attainment and progression. This investment will increase once we have successfully concluded negotiations with UEL for a contract longer than the current one year.
Junior ELT
Junior Summer Centres continued to produce significant revenue growth combined with high-quality delivery. Approximately 5% of revenues from our Junior ELT centres is recognised in H1 2024, with the remainder falling in the six months to 31 December 2024.
We successfully delivered eight centres (2023: five centres) over the summer season to 3,405 students (2023: 2,478 students), with feedback noting the high-quality delivery. This result produced significant revenue growth with a more diversified nationality mix, with growth from China, Taiwan, and MENA.
Adult ELT
Revenues from ELT teaching delivered to adults at our year round centres in Manchester and London King's Cross were flat compared to the same period in 2023. This is a mature market compared to Junior ELT with greater overseas competition, and the sector has yet to recover fully to pre-pandemic levels and is now at approximately 80% of the 2019 peak. Our school's fixed-cost base means that the division is currently running at an operating loss . Without a sudden and unexpected increase in adult student numbers short-term change is unlikely.
The Group is taking measures to address this situation, and we hope to see significant improvements in 2025. Following our investment in our ELT sales and marketing team, we are improving the quality of our engagement with our agent network. We are also focusing on increasing year-round staff and premises utilisation with the development of low-season group programmes.
Investment in sales and marketing
During the Period, we were pleased to appoint Maya Frost as our new Marketing Director and Matthew Hird as Global Sales Director for ELT programmes. Both Maya and Matt have considerable experience in international student recruitment. In addition, we have appointed several new senior sales staff in key recruitment and under-represented markets.
These investments are crucial to growing the business and maintaining our market position since both Pathways and the ELT market face increased competition from UK and non-UK destinations. We welcome the Labour Government's decision to maintain the Graduate Visa Route in its current form, ensuring the UK continues to be an attractive destination for international students. With universities increasingly reliant on international students to cover their costs and enable them to sustain publicly funded teaching and research activities, we are pleased that the uncertainty has been lifted.
Summary and outlook
We are pleased with our performance in H1 2024, having taken advantage of improved market conditions following our investment in the business over the last three years. Pathways and Junior ELT continue to be the strongest performing divisions in terms of revenue and profit growth, and we are addressing the issues we face in our adult ELT division.
Approximately 490 students will start courses in September 2024 at the Group's University of East London ("UEL") International Student Centre, compared to 450 students in 2023. This solidifies the Group's partnership with UEL as one of the UK's largest and most successful University Pathway centres.
The investment in business development has resulted in discussions with several potential university partnerships in the UK and the US, some of which are at an advanced stage. The opportunities offer different models, including providing a comprehensive Pathway programme and exclusive direct recruitment contracts. Additionally, discussions regarding a renewed contract remain ongoing with UEL, and the Board anticipates an update on this before the end of the year.
Junior revenues for the full year are expected to increase by 62% to £6.05m (2023: £3.72m), with £5.73m to be recognised in H2 2024, underpinning the Group's full-year revenues. The Junior ELT market is expected to grow, and our investment in our ELT sales and marketing teams will enable us to harness the available opportunities. For 2025 we are developing new academic and low-season programmes to target a broad range of international markets and their respective national holiday seasons to improve our income profile during the year.
Whilst the adult ELT industry has yet to fully recover from the pandemic, there is an opportunity for us to take a greater share of this market. We have recruited new sales staff to cover Europe, Spanish Latin America, and the Far East. Given the long ELT recruitment cycle, we don't expect to see a material upturn until 2025.
Student numbers and revenues are growing steadily, and we have the skills in house to drive our growth strategy and expand the business significantly. With this solid foundation, we are increasingly confident in growing all areas of the business.

The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023 has not been audited and does not constitute full financial statements within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The Group's 2023 financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 were prepared under UK-adopted International Accounting Standards. The auditor's report on these financial statements was unqualified and did not contain statements under Sections 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 and they have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. However, the auditor's report did draw attention to a material uncertainty in relation to going concern.
3. Profit/(Loss) per share

The weighted average number of shares in issue during the period was 24,442,400 (H1 2023: 24,442,400).

a. Malvern House Brighton
During 2023 the Directors of the Company announced its decision to close Malvern House Brighton. The decision was made following a review of the viability of the school, informed by current operations, overhead costs, projected student numbers, financial performance and the further investment required for the school to achieve profitability which it had yet to do.
b. Staff restructuring costs
The management of the Group are completing a staff review to ensure that we are using our resources as efficiently as possible.
c. Malaysia liquidation & loan write-back
Minor liquidator costs to close out the remaining issues from the Group's former Malaysian entity.

The Company has an Enterprise Management Incentive share option scheme for certain directors and employees. Under the scheme, participants have been awarded options to acquire up to a prescribed level of shares.
