The score is weighed down primarily by the sharp deterioration in financial performance and cash generation in 2024 versus 2023, despite a relatively solid balance sheet. Technical indicators are broadly neutral with slightly weak short-term momentum, and valuation cannot be assessed due to missing P/E and dividend yield data.

How the Company Makes Money

Insight Business Support Plc Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financial results deteriorated sharply in 2024: revenue swung from +2.58M (2023) to -97K (2024), with an operating loss (-581K) and net loss (-388K). Cash flow also turned negative (operating/free cash flow about -44.7K) after strong positive cash generation in 2023 (+890.9K). A solid equity base and modest leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.11) help, but the recent losses and volatility dominate.
Income Statement
22
Negative
Profitability and revenue quality deteriorated sharply in 2024 versus 2023. Revenue swung from +2.58M (2023) to -97K (2024) with negative earnings (net loss of -388K and operating loss of -581K), showing a highly unstable operating profile. While 2023 showed strong profitability (net income +1.53M), the abrupt reversal and negative revenue in 2024 materially weakens confidence in earnings durability.
Balance Sheet
58
Neutral
The balance sheet shows solid equity backing (equity ~8.97M on assets ~10.54M in 2024) with modest leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.11). However, returns turned negative in 2024 (negative return on equity), and debt increased from zero in 2023 to ~0.99M in 2024. Overall leverage is still manageable, but profitability weakness raises the risk that the balance sheet quality could erode if losses persist.
Cash Flow
28
Negative
Cash generation weakened meaningfully in 2024, with operating cash flow and free cash flow both negative (-44.7K) after strong positive cash flow in 2023 (+890.9K). Cash flow no longer supports earnings quality, and the shift to cash burn increases reliance on the balance sheet for funding. The year-to-year volatility is a key concern for sustainability.

Kelso Builds New Stake in Saga as Turnaround Gains Traction
Positive
Jan 6, 2026

Kelso Group Holdings has disclosed a new strategic investment in Saga plc, acquiring 400,000 shares in the over-50s specialist travel and insurance group, as it seeks to capitalise on what it sees as a mispriced UK mid-cap opportunity. Kelso argues that Saga’s shift back to a predominantly travel-focused, asset-backed cruise business, its accelerating deleveraging, the sale of its capital-intensive underwriting arm, and strengthening management under Sir Roger De Haan have materially improved the group’s fundamentals, yet the shares still trade at a discount to cruise-sector peers and to the value of its cruise ship assets. The investor believes further debt reduction and profit growth could unlock a rerating, potentially aiding Saga’s return to the FTSE 250 and attracting index and US investor interest, and has already engaged Saga’s board with proposals aimed at accelerating deleveraging and broadening the shareholder base.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:KLSO) stock is a Hold with a £3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Insight Business Support Plc stock, see the GB:KLSO Stock Forecast page.
