(Sharecast News) - Shipping services group Clarkson said on Wednesday that it now expects to report unaudited underlying pre-tax profits of no less than £42.0m for the six months ended 30 June.

Clarkson added that its first-half performance had been "strong" across all divisions, with its broking unit performing "particularly well".

Looking forward, the FTSE 250-listed firm stated that while it was "mindful of macroeconomic conditions", the board remains confident in its outlook and expects full-year results to be "materially ahead" of previous expectations.

Clarkson will publish its interim results on 8 August.
