Trading performance in the Fourth Quarter:

Revenues from insurance continued to grow as did revenues in Money from credit cards and loans.  Motor insurance rates are flattening and this is increasing demand from motorists looking to compare prices and features.  Banks and loan providers are competing hard to attract customers for credit cards.  As expected Home Services and MoneySavingExpert.com revenues were down compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 when very high demand for energy switching gave an uplift of £7 million following energy price rises.

 

 

Peter Plumb, CEO of MoneySuperMarket.com, said:

 "This has been a good final quarter to another strong year.  More people are seeing how easy it is to compare products and prices online, for free, and save money.  I'm particularly pleased to see our core Insurance and Money channels in healthy growth as a result of the savings we offer and the help we give customers to choose the best products for them.  MoneySavingExpert and TravelSuperMarket are thriving.  MoneySuperMarket group is set to save more people more money in 2015 thanks to our investment programme."
