Mitie Group PLC on Tuesday said it expects revenue for the year ended on March 31 to exceed the figure in financial 2022, and announced a share buyback programme.

Mitie said the encouraging performance reported during financial 2023 has continued, with revenue growing by 10% compared with the same period the year before.
Looking ahead, Mitie said it is entering the new financial year with a strong order book and a healthy pipeline. It added that momentum form margin improvement initiatives will continue into financial 2024.
Additionally, the company announced a new share buyback programme worth £50 million, with the first £25 million tranche being launched today.
