recently revised market expectations 1  (#_ftn1) .

Revenue growth accelerated in the second half, leaving the full year
(excluding Chairish) up over 4% (H1 3.4%). Including Chairish, the Group's
revenue is expected to be up c.9%. We made good progress on our strategic
initiatives during the year including growing Value Added Services such as
atgAMP, atgPay, and in particular, atgShip.

The Group continues to expect to deliver an adjusted EBITDA margin of between
42% and 43%, excluding Chairish, in line with revised expectations. Initial
trading for Chairish has been in line with our expectations.

The Group expects to report a non-cash goodwill impairment for the year,
reflecting increases in the Company's discount rate, macroeconomic conditions
and the impact of the 4th August trading announcement.

The Group expects adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA 2  (#_ftn2) to be c2.2x
at year end supported by good cash generation. The Group would expect adjusted
net leverage2 to reduce to well below 2x by the end of FY26.

For FY26 the Group expects performance in line with current market
expectations 3  (#_ftn3) .

The Full Year results will be reported on Wednesday 26 November 2025.
