The Mission Group plc provided earnings guidance for the second half and full year 2023. As in previous years, the Group expects the majority of its profit to be generated in the second half of the year. Mission has a significant second-half weighting with respect to profitability.

Whilst the Group remains on track to meet full-year guidance, as highlighted in trading update on 27 July 2023, profitability is likely to be at the lower end of the Board's expectations albeit with profit before tax still expected to exceed that of 2022 (£7.8m).
