StepChange Holdings reported half-year revenues of $24.4 million and an underlying EBITDA of $2.0 million, delivering a profit of $524,000 in its first interim results since acquiring StepChange Consultants and listing on the ASX. The group, which reported negative net tangible assets per share and did not declare a dividend, consolidated full ownership of StepChange Consultants and launched a U.S. subsidiary, moves that signal an ambition to scale its consulting platform despite a balance sheet still weighted toward intangibles.
