Mortgage Advice Bureau (Holdings) plc reported group earnings results for the year ended December 31, 2016. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 was in line with market consensus and increased by 23% to £92 million driven by a 23% increase in the average number of Advisers to 888 in the 12 months to December 31, 2016. The group's underlying profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2016 was ahead of market consensus despite the impact of this lull. Following absorption of £0.4 million of FSCS supplementary levies in the year ended December 31, 2016 which the FSCS recently announced for life and pensions advisers, general insurers and mortgage advisers, the group's profit before tax was marginally ahead of market consensus.
