Trading Update

Everyman Media Group plc (AIM: EMAN) provides the following trading update for the 26 weeks ending 30 June 2022.

   --             Group revenue of GBP40.7m, an increase of GBP11.8m vs. the same period in 2019. 
   --             Group EBITDA(1) of GBP7.5m, an increase of GBP0.9m vs. the same period in 2019.

The Group's performance was particularly reassuring given that 2019 was a record year. Growth was driven by a combination of an increased number of venues, strong admissions and higher average spends as well as benefitting from reduced VAT in the first quarter. The Board is confident the financial performance of the Company for the full year ending 31 December 2022 will be in line with market expectations.

The Group ended the period operating 37 cinemas (H1 2019: 28 cinemas), having opened a five-screen venue in Edinburgh.

The Board is also pleased to announce the pipeline for H2 2022 and 2023 is well progressed with a minimum of six further venues contracted to open.

The Group intends to publish its interim results for the 26 weeks ended 30 June 2022 on 28 September 2022.

Alex Scrimgeour, Chief Executive Officer of Everyman Media Group PLC, said:

"It has been a busy six months for the Group, as our exceptional venue teams entertained guests across the country. Despite well publicised headwinds we have managed to deliver record half year sales and EBITDA. We remain confident that people's enjoyment of cinema and specifically Everyman remains undiminished".
