Chairman's Statement

 

I am pleased to report on the Group's half year results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016. Revenue for the half year ended 30 June 2016 was up 49% on the comparative six-month period to £12,128,000 (30 June 2015: £8,159,000, full year to 31 December 2015: £20,316,000).

 

The first six months to 30 June 2016 saw us open a new venue in Bristol together with significant maturing revenue growth coming from the six venue openings and two refurbishments in 2015. A temporary one-screen venue opened in July 2016 in Kings Cross, which will remain in place until the permanent venue is completed in late 2017. A five-screen venue opened in Harrogate in September 2016.

 

The Group now operates 19 venues, up from 16 at the beginning of the year.

 

Since the period-end, trading has been in line with expectations following a good overall summer release slate in the cinema market set against a weak comparable period in 2015.

 

Review of the business

 

For the half year ended 30 June 2016, the Group's box office was up 50% on the previous year, reflecting favourably versus a market movement of +0.5%. This resulted in the Group's market share increasing to 1.46% for the period (30 June 2015: 0.94%) (Source: Rentrak EDI).

 

This above market growth reflects revenue contribution from new sites that opened during the period and through 2015. The growth and performance of these new venues supports the Board's continued confidence in the full Everyman concept and our continued investment in our future pipeline.

 

We feel that Everyman is enhancing its position as a well-respected brand in the UK leisure market and is attracting increased interest from developers looking for a cinema/leisure operator that appeals to a more discerning customer within a more intimate environment.

 

Openings

 

During this period, the Group opened a new three-screen venue on Whiteladies Road in Bristol on 17th May 2016 and has subsequently opened a temporary venue in Kings Cross in July 2016 and a permanent venue in Harrogate in September 2016. Kings Cross is a small one-screen venue close to the site where a new three-screen venue will open in late 2017.

 

Pipeline

 

The Group has continued to find attractive new site opportunities for future investment. Contracts have now been conditionally exchanged on sites at Horsham (expected to open in 2018), Durham (2019) and Wokingham (2019). These are in addition to those previously announced: Chelmsford (December 2016), Stratford-upon-Avon (2017) and Kings Cross (2017). It was previously expected that a new venue in Cirencester would open in 2017, however, the longstop date in the contract was reached without necessary conditions being satisfied, so we have exercised our option to exit the lease.

 

Financial Overview

 

As previously stated, revenue for the half-year ended 30 June 2016 was up 49% on the comparative six-month period to £12,128,000 (30 June 2015: £8,159,000, full year to 31 December 2015: £20,316,000).

 

The Group's underlying operating profit before acquisition costs, pre-opening costs, share-based payment expenses, depreciation and amortisation was £1,348,000 (30 June 2015: £704,000, full year to 31 December 2015: £1,705,000). The Group incurred pre- opening expenses of £281,000 in the period (30 June 2015: £347,000, full year to 31 December 2015: £775,000) which reflects the reduced opening of new venues during the period. Overall, the financial performance of the Group after all expenses and taxation is in line with the Board's expectations.

 

The effective tax rate is higher than the standard rate of corporation tax for the six-month period due to the effect of significant and continuing capital expenditure incurred by the Group.

 

The share-based payment expense for the period was £104,000 (30 June 2015: £62,000, full year to 31 December 2015: £15,000) reflecting share option incentives provided to the Group's senior management and employees.

 

The Group incurred a loss after tax for the period of £670,000 (30 June 2015: a loss of £430,000, full year to 31 December 2015: a loss of £556,000).

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash outflows from operating activities were £1,939,000 (30 June 2015: outflows of £773,000, full year to 31 December 2015: inflows of £2,959,000).  Net cash outflows for the period, before financing, were £7,443,000 (30 June 2015: outflows of £8,283,000, full year to 31 December 2015: outflows of £16,169,000).

 

Cash held at the end of the period was £1,692,000 (30 June 2015: £17,078,000,   31 December 2015: £9,173,000).  The cash held will be invested in the continuing development  and expansion of the Group's business.

 

During the period the Group entered into a new debt facility with Barclays plc. The facility is an £8 million three-year revolving loan facility. The facility provides an additional finance stream, in addition to the Company's existing cash resources, to allow continued expansion of the Company's cinema estate. No drawdown had taken place at 30 June 2016.

 

The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend at this stage of the Group's development.

 

Current Trading

 

Since the period-end, trading has been in line with expectations continuing a reasonable overall summer in the cinema market.

 

We believe that it is a good period for film-making, with increasing confidence in the quality and quantity of film content over the coming years.

Basic (loss)/earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net (loss)/profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

 

Where the Group has incurred a loss in a period the diluted earnings per share is the same as the basic earnings per share as the loss has an anti-dilutive effect. The diluted loss per share for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 is therefore the same as the basic loss per share for the period and the diluted weighted average number of shares is the same as the basic weighted average number of shares.

 

The Company has 4,845,829 potentially issuable shares all of which relate to the potential dilution from both the Group's 'A' shares and share options issued to the Directors and certain employees, under the Group's incentive arrangements.
