Mony Group, the owner of the price comparison website Moneysupermarket, reported record revenue for the first half of the year, buoyed by increased consumer demand for more affordable energy options amid rising household bills influenced by ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The company posted a 6 percent increase in like-for-like revenue during the period, largely driven by a 30 percent surge in its home services division. Additionally, its insurance segment returned to growth after a previous downturn. Overall statutory revenue rose by 1 percent to reach £227 million, while pre-tax profits increased 2 percent to £61 million. Reflecting this performance, Mony Group raised its interim dividend by 1 percent to 3.36 pence per share.

The uplift in revenue indicates that consumers are actively seeking cost savings, particularly in energy-related services, as economic pressures continue to mount. The company’s diversified portfolio, including home services and insurance products, contributed to its resilience in a challenging market environment.
