Trading Update and Notice of Half-Year Results

 

Ten Lifestyle Group plc (AIM: TENG), a leading technology-enabled, global
concierge platform for the world's wealthy and mass affluent provides a
Trading Update and notice of its half-year results for the six months ended 28
February 2022.

 

Trading update

 

Net Revenue(1) for FY22 remains in line with the Board's expectations, with
the negative effects of Omicron in the second half of H1 expected to be
mitigated by new wins launching in H2 and recovery on existing contracts as
the pandemic eases in each region.

 

During a period of strong recovery in the Autumn, additional staff were hired.
However, the impact of Omicron has resulted in reduced member requests since
December. We have retained this additional headcount to support new contract
launches and the expected recovery of existing contracts. The Board now
expects the Adjusted EBITDA(2) outturn for FY22 to be below expectations but
with growth still expected on the prior year (FY21: £4.4m).

 

We have started to see an increase in activity again in February 2022 in EMEA,
where Omicron first impacted in late November.

 

The Board expects the new contract wins secured during H1 to increase revenue
and profitability in line with its expectations for FY23, which remain
unchanged.  We continue to enjoy a healthy pipeline of new business and high
conversion rates.

 

Net Cash was c.£4.7m at end of February 2022 (FY21: £6.7m).

 

The effects of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the business is
currently expected to be limited as only c. 1-2% of the Group's annual Net
Revenue relates to Russia and the directly affected region.

 

 

(1) Net Revenue excludes the direct cost of sales relating to certain member
transactions managed by the Group.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is post-IFRS16 and is operating profit/(loss)/ before
interest, taxation, amortisation, share-based payments and exceptional costs.

 

 

Notice of Interim Results

The Group expects to announce its half year results on Wednesday 11 May 2022,
where further details will be provided. An online Analyst Presentation will be
held by video link at 9:00am the same day.

The Group will also be presenting an Investor Webinar on Thursday 12 May 2022
at 5:30pm GMT. The presentation is open to all existing and potential
shareholders.
