Good morning and welcome to the Q&A session for MONY Group interim results. (Operator Instructions) I would now like to hand the call over to Peter Duffy, MONY Group, CEO. Please go ahead, sir.
Thank you and good morning everybody, and thank you for taking the time to join us this morning. Hopefully you've had the chance to watch the results video that we released at 07:00 AM, but before we open up the questions, perhaps I can just give a quick recap of the main messages there. We've had a good start to the year achieving both financial and strategic milestones, and we've helped UK households save an estimated GBP1.4 billion.
We've grown revenue by 1% to GBP225 million, and our adjusted EBITDA is up by 2% to GBP75 million. Now that's a resilient financial performance given the exceptional growth in car insurance last year, and that's given us confidence to reiterate our guidance for the full year. We continue to deliver on our strategy to grow both sides of our marketplace.
