Time Out Group plc
("Time Out," the "Company" or the "Group")
Audited Full Year Results for the twelve months ended 30 June 2022
Positioned for further profitable growth and back on pre-pandemic trajectory
Time Out Group plc (AIM: TMO), the global media and hospitality business,
today announces its audited full year results for the twelve months ended 30
June 2022. Comparative information relates to the 18 months ended 30 June
2021.
Commenting on the results, Chris Ohlund, CEO of Time Out Group plc, said:
"We are pleased to have reached a turning point for the Group in delivering
positive Group Adjusted EBITDA, despite the impact of the pandemic during the
financial year. This marks a return to our pre-pandemic trajectory and
demonstrates that we are now in an even stronger position for future growth. I
want to thank everyone at Time Out Group for their hard work and dedication to
achieve this milestone - even more so as we have achieved it despite
significant disruption.
"We have invested in our strategy with ambitious measures in place to drive
profitable growth and have made significant progress across both of our
business divisions. Time Out Media's content that focuses on the best of the
city has helped millions go out once again, attracting a growing digital
audience and key brand partners advertising with us. Our seven existing Time
Out Markets have seen footfall and sales return, with record days exceeding
pre-pandemic levels. In addition, we have a strong pipeline of seven locations
set to open between 2023 and 2027, six of which are Management Agreements
which have associated contracted minimum levels of revenues secured for
several years. Interest from landlords in our Markets proposition has never
been stronger as they seek to drive footfall to increase the value of their
property. We are in advanced negotiations with real estate developers around
the globe who wish to make Time Out Market the anchor of their properties as
they consider our concept to be the world's leading food and cultural market."
Financial highlights
· Gross revenue increased by 62% to £72.9m (2021((1)) 18m: £44.9m)
and net revenue((2)) by 47% to £55.4m (2021 18m: £37.8m)
· Gross profit increased 48% to £44.6m (2021 18m: £30.2m)

territory of £1.2m (2021 18m: £17.6m loss)
· Group operating loss reduced significantly to £14.1m (2021 18m:
£60.5m loss)
· Cash of £4.8m at 30 June 2022 (2021: £19.1m) and borrowings of
£21.9m (2021: £23.5m), resulted in Adjusted net debt((4)) of £17.1m.
Reported net debt was £44.5m (2021: £26.9m) including £27.4m (2021:
£22.5m) of IFRS 16 lease liabilities
· Refinancing completed post year-end with new four-year term loan
facility of €35.0m signed on 24 November 2022. €5.8m of the facility
remains undrawn and the agreement allows an extension to €47.5m by mutual
consent
Operational highlights
· Time Out Market: significant revenue growth and progress with new
Management Agreements
o All seven Markets are open with a restored curation of the best of the city,
return of footfall and strong trading with net revenue increasing to £28.9m
(2021 18m: £12.2m)
o Osaka and post year-end, Cape Town, Vancouver and Riyadh Management
Agreements signed, taking the number of open and contracted sites to 14
o A significant pipeline of further Management Agreements in advanced
negotiations as a result of increased engagement with real estate developers
· Time Out Media: digital-first strategy driving improved economics
o Completion of transition from a traditional print to a digital-first
multi-platform strategy, enabling the Media division to increasingly tap into
the higher-margin, growing digital advertising space
o 20% growth in digital revenue with particular success from Creative
Solutions campaigns for major global brands
o Combined digi-physical Media and Market campaigns attracting new clients and
increased, high-revenue advertiser spend
Outlook
The post pandemic recovery has continued in the new financial year, with
revenue growth in both Time Out Group divisions meeting management
expectations in Q1. Given the near-term weaker economic outlook, rising
inflation and geo-political uncertainty, the Board recognises the head winds
the Group may face in FY2023. However, it is cautiously optimistic given the
increasing engagement of global brands seeking our multi-channel advertising
solutions and the recent record trading days within the Time Out Market
portfolio.
In contrast to most media and hospitality operators, Time Out Group is
building a valuable long term recurring earnings stream. Already in place are
eight Time Out Market management agreements, either open (two) or signed (six)
with a term of at least 10 years, which will generate a contracted minimum
aggregate contribution to EBITDA of c.£13m per annum when all are
operational. Driven by the appeal of the concept and the increased resource
committed to new site development, the signing of new Market management
agreements in cities around the world is expected to accelerate in 2023 and
beyond. With a strengthened balance sheet, the Company is in a position to
continue to execute its ambitious plans and deliver further profitable growth.

About Time Out Group
Time Out Group is a global media and hospitality business that curates and
creates the best of the world's greatest cities through its two divisions -
Time Out Media and Time Out Market. Time Out launched in London in 1968 with a
magazine to help people discover the exciting new urban cultures that had
started up all over the city. Today, across the Group's digital and physical
platforms, Time Out's professional journalists curate the best things to do,
see and eat in 333 cities in 59 countries.
Time Out Market is the world's first editorially curated food and cultural
market, bringing a city's best chefs, restaurateurs and unique cultural
experiences together under one roof. The first Time Out Market opened in
Lisbon in 2014, followed in 2019 by Miami, New York, Boston, Chicago and
Montreal, and Dubai in 2021. A further pipeline of seven future openings
includes Porto, Osaka, Cape Town, Vancouver and more. Time Out Group PLC,
listed on AIM, is headquartered in the United Kingdom.

The financial year has seen the Group return to its pre-pandemic trajectory,
starting with the gradual reopening of hospitality in most parts of the world
and a transition back to near normality in our trading environments. All our
Markets reopened with increasing footfall and revenue, and our Media business
experienced a marked recovery in digital advertising. The shadow of Covid-19
in H1 stalled this momentum with further disruption as the rapid spread of the
Omicron variant in the winter months resulted in new restrictions and another
dent in consumer activity; however, the key spring and summer months saw a
period of encouraging progress and recovery.
The Group's net revenue increased by 47% to £55.4m (2021 18m: £37.8m),
albeit from a comparative period that was severely impacted by Covid-19. Gross
margin was maintained at 80% as we temporarily resumed an element of our UK
print products, which ceased in June 2022. Operating expenses continue to be
monitored to ensure optimal Market profitability. These combined to produce an
improvement in the Divisional Adjusted EBITDA of £3.9m (2021 18m: £15.9m
Adjusted EBITDA loss). Corporate costs increased to £2.7m against a
comparative (2021 18m: £1.6m) that benefitted from temporary Covid-19 related
cost savings. This resulted - for the first time since becoming a listed
company in 2016 - in a positive Group Adjusted EBITDA of £1.2m (2021 18m:
£17.6m Group Adjusted EBITDA loss).
At the beginning of September 2022 Patrick Foley commenced his role as Chief
Financial Officer, replacing Neil Wood who had been acting as Interim CFO.
Patrick brings over 20 years' financial and commercial experience and broad
sector background in Media, Technology and Software Development. He joins from
Sahara Presentation Systems Ltd / Boxlight Corporation where he was CFO;
previously, he has held various senior roles including that of CFO, COO and
Interim CEO at Arts Alliance Media Ltd; prior to that he was VP Finance for
Universal Pictures International. Patrick qualified as a Chartered Management
Accountant and holds an MSc degree in Strategic Business Management from
Manchester Metropolitan University.

(1) Trading EBITDA represents the Adjusted EBITDA from owned and

Time Out Market net revenue increased materially to £28.9m (2021 18m:
£12.2m) and generated Adjusted EBITDA of £2.2m (2021 18m: £8.4m Adjusted
EBITDA loss) as the hospitality sector emerged from the severe restrictions
experienced for the majority of the comparative period, despite some
restrictions still in place in the first few months of the financial year. The
easing of international travel restrictions has seen tourists return to the
cities in which we operate, and people going out once again, as well as
returning to offices, have all helped drive this revenue growth and a return
to steady trading. Operating expenses continue to be monitored to ensure
optimal Market profitability. Market central costs have increased as we
further strengthened the Time Out Market team facilitating both growth in our
existing Markets and to drive our global expansion.
Sandy Hayek - previously Time Out Market Dubai General Manager - was promoted
in May to Time Out Market Co-CEO Operations with a focus on day-to-day
management across our existing locations. Working alongside Sandy is Time Out
Market Co-CEO Development Jay Coldren, who focuses on continued global
expansion. He brings a strong background in development and expansion as well
as more than 30 years of hospitality experience spanning restaurants, boutique
hotels and gourmet retail. Until 30 September 2022, this role was held by
Didier Souillat who left the business to explore new opportunities.
Time Out Market is a food and cultural market that brings the best of the city
under one roof - it offers a curated mix of a city's best chefs and as we have
reopened our Markets, we have restored exceptional chef line-ups. In the
second half of the period alone, around 30 new concessions signed across all
Markets including James Beard award-winning Chef Michelle Bernstein who
brought Little Liberty to Time Out Market Miami; Luella's Southern Kitchen by
Chef Darnell Reed (a James Beard semi-finalist) at Time Out Market Chicago;
and Time Out Market Lisbon welcomed Chef Vincent Farges - one of the city's
top chefs with a Michelin star in his own local restaurant.
Time Out Market not only offers culinary but also cultural experiences, which
is a key differentiator and helps drive high-value footfall as well as media
attention. In the period, numerous activations took place from local live
bands and DJs to comedy nights. Other cultural highlights included a giant
mural, paying tribute to late designer Virgil Abloh, at Time Out Market
Chicago; an NFT digital art exhibit at Time Out Market Miami to coincide with
Miami Art Week; and Time Out Market Dubai's first Wine Market.
Alongside seven existing Markets, as part of the global expansion plans there
is a significant pipeline of new locations signed as well as several in
advanced negotiations. This is a result of ongoing interest from landlords and
real estate developers who value Time Out Market as a concept that can
transform spaces and drive consumer footfall. Our engagement with landlords
has continued, albeit with the conclusion of new Management Agreements being
delayed due to pandemic-related restrictions earlier in the financial year.
The opening of the Markets in Montreal in 2019 and of Dubai in 2021 commenced
the Group's first Management Agreements which offers further expansion
opportunities. Under a Management Agreement, the real estate partner funds all
capital and operational expenditure with the Group receiving a pre-development
fee and share of revenue and profit. This has grown as an important part of
the portfolio mix as Time Out Market continues to its global expansion.
Furthermore, we have evolved our systematic approach to sourcing new
opportunities, designed to accelerate the rate of new signings. As a result,
we expect to sign more Management Agreements in the year ahead and beyond as
they represent a key focus area and growth engine, increasing the Group's
recurring earnings stream, without the need for further capital expenditure.
Between May and November 2022, four Management Agreements were signed: In May
2022, we announced that we have entered into an agreement with real estate
developer Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corporation to open Time Out Market Osaka
in 2025. An agreement with V&A Waterfront Holdings Ltd was signed in
October 2022 to bring Time Out Market to Cape Town towards the end of 2023. In
November 2022 agreements were signed with QuadReal Property Group and Westbank
to open Time Out Market Vancouver at the end of 2024 and with Diriyah Gate
Development Authority (DGDA) to open the new Time Out Market Riyadh at Diriyah
Gate which is forecast to open in 2027. Furthermore, we have agreed Head of
Terms for three locations with the initial feasibility costs being met by the
prospective Management Agreement partner.
The current opening pipeline for new Markets, in addition to seven existing
locations, includes:
· Porto (Owned & Operated) - calendar 2023
· Cape Town (Management Agreement) - calendar 2023
· Vancouver (Management Agreement) - calendar 2024
· Abu Dhabi (Management Agreement) - calendar 2025
· Prague (Management Agreement) - calendar 2025
· Osaka (Management Agreement) - calendar 2025
· Riyadh (Management Agreement) - calendar 2027

Time Out Media trading was encouraging in the year with net revenue up 4% to
£26.5m (2021 18m: £25.6m) generating Adjusted EBITDA of £1.7m (2021 18m:
£7.5m Group Adjusted EBITDA loss). Digital revenue continued to grow and
recovered to pre-pandemic levels, supplemented by selective print products in
the UK, Spain, and Portugal, which slightly diluted gross margin for the year
due to the higher cost of delivering print solutions.
June 2022 saw the last regular Time Out London print magazine as part of a
shift towards a digital-first multi-platform strategy. As a result, the
majority of the 333 cities in which we cover content are now fully digital,
with only monthly print issues in Barcelona and quarterly in Madrid and Lisbon
(and in a few cities within our franchise network). While this approach has
incurred additional costs this year, we are already seeing the benefit of a
focused digital offering, with a sales team driving and attracting higher
margin digital advertising as well as more bespoke creative campaigns.
On the back of strong relationships with direct and agency partners, the
Creative Solutions team delivered big-ticket campaigns in the period, across
multiple territories and multiple platforms. This included working with the
likes of Diageo, Samsung, Google, Transport for London, Visit California and
Mastercard to name a few. Many of these campaigns had a 360-degree approach
spanning all of Time Out's digital channels plus Live Events, which rebounded
in the period. To leverage the synergies between Time Out Media and Time Out
Market, we increasingly host Live Events for clients in our Markets which is a
unique proposition, attracting new clients and increased advertiser spend. One
example is the Oscars Watch Party at Time Out Market New York as part of a
campaign for Visit California and LA Tourism.
Our "best of the city" content is now being distributed across an increasing
range of digital channels spanning websites, mobile, email, social media and
video. A key element of our strategy is a focus on short-form video for
mobile consumption, and therefore filmed in portrait mode; this is an area we
have invested in as it is increasingly the preferred medium in which our
audience engages with the world around them. As such, we have made a leap
forward in developing Time Out's video storytelling with the launch of several
short-form video series; these include series called Behind the Scenes, 48
Hours In…, Secrets of Your City and Hype Dish. The videos are published
onsite, via Instagram Reels and TikTok. The latter is the fastest growing
channel for Time Out London and within one year has seen follower numbers go
from zero to almost 100,000 in June 2022 when we delivered the first
commercial TikTok video for FreeNow.
We are doing much to grow our global brand audience((1)), which went up 19% to
72m (2021 18m: 60m). In a period of disruption of the leisure industry this is
testament to the continued relevance and authority of our brand and content,
attracting a valuable, active audience. In a world with too much information,
this audience values that we curate the best of the city for them and that we
deliver our content to them across the digital channels where they are now.
Partnerships with leading media and content brands such as Apple News drive
additional traffic to our content and we have also continued to see
significant viewing numbers for editorial campaigns such as World's Coolest
Neighbourhoods and Best Cities rankings - these are annual stories which have
built authority and interest, driving traffic as well as hundreds of pieces of
press coverage and thereby global earned media.
(1) Global brand audience is the estimated monthly average in the period
including all Owned & Operated cities and franchises. It includes print
circulation and unique website visitors (Owned and operated), unique social
users (as reported by Facebook and Instagram with social followers on other
platforms used as a proxy for unique users), social followers (for other
social media platforms), opted-in members and Market visitors. The metric for
the 18-month period ended 30 June 2021 of 60.3m (previously 64.5m) has been
restated to exclude data in respect of franchisee countries where the
information is no longer reliably obtainable and to reflect a change in the
measurement of opted-in members.

Revenue and gross profit
Group gross revenue for the period increased by 62% to £72.9m (2021 18m:
£45.0m) as the business recovered from the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The year began strongly as restrictions eased, international travel resumed
and our audience once again began enjoying their cities. However in early
December, the Omicron variant resulted in renewed restrictions which had a
severe impact on our seasonally higher performing December period. This
trickled into the second half of the year with trading returning over the rest
of the year. Despite this, Group gross profit as a percentage of net revenue
is consistent at 80%.
Market performance drove the increase in revenue with our markets open more
consistently over the year, supplemented by the revenue generated from signing
Heads of Terms in respect of future Management Agreement Markets. Media
revenue progressed to a recovery to pre-pandemic levels of business as digital
revenue returned with increased consumer confidence, driving an increase
across other revenue streams, in particular Live Events which delivered £1.1m
revenue in the year from a very low base in the prior period (2021 18m:
£0.1m). In the year we have invested in the teams to focus on our Affiliates
and Offers business as our audiences increasingly look for engaging but
economical ways to go out.
Operating expenses
Adjusted Group operating expenses decreased by £4.3m to £43.4m (2021 18m:
£47.7m).
Market Adjusted operating expenses increased by £3.1m to £21.9m (2021 18m:
£18.7m), comprising Trading operating expenditure increase of £3.0m and an
increase in Market central costs of £0.2m. Media Adjusted operating expenses
decreased by £8.6m to £18.8m (2021 18m: £27.4m). Corporate costs increased
to £2.7m against a comparative (2021 18m: £1.6m) that benefitted from
temporary Covid-19 related cost savings.
Overall administrative expenses for the year also includes £0.8m (2021 18m:
nil) related to redefining and beginning the implementation of our
digital-first strategy.
Adjusted EBITDA
Group Adjusted EBITDA, which is stated before interest, taxation,
depreciation, amortisation, share-based payments exceptional items and loss on
disposal of fixed assets, improved to £1.2m (2021 18m: £17.6m Group Adjusted
EBITDA loss). The material improvement was driven by the significant growth in
revenue as the business begins to recover from the impact of the pandemic.
Operating loss
The reported operating loss was £14.1m (2021 18m: £60.5m loss).
The net exceptional costs of £2.3m (2021 18m: £19.9m) includes costs related
to a discontinued corporate transaction (£0.8m), staff redundancy costs of
staff who left the Group following the discontinuation of Print in the UK
(£2.0m), the contractual exit costs of the former Chief Executive (£0.7m)
and a gain on the modification of the Lisbon property lease of £0.5m. The
majority of the prior period exceptional costs of £19.9m comprised of the
impairment of Media-related goodwill (£20.0m), staff redundancy costs
(£1.1m), Time Out Market Waterloo exit costs (£0.7m) and fundraising costs
(£1.0m), offset by the gains on the modification of property leases (£2.4m).
The depreciation charge of £8.6m (2021 18m: £14.0m) decreased by £5.4m,
driven principally by reduced Media office space in the UK and US.
The amortisation of intangible assets of £2.5m (2021 18m: £6.2m) decreased
by £3.7m principally due to certain acquired intangible assets now being
fully amortised.
Net finance costs
Net finance costs of £5.3m (2021 18m: £10.5m) primarily relates to interest
on debt of £2.4m (2021 18m: £4.8m), amortisation of deferred financing costs
of £0.2m (2021 18m: £0.4m) and interest cost in respect of lease liabilities
of £2.6m (2021 18m: £4.9m).
Foreign exchange
The revenue and costs of Group entities reporting in dollars have been
consolidated in these financial statements at an average exchange rate of
$1.34 (2021: $1.32). The operations reporting in euros have been consolidated
at a rate of €1.18 (2021: €1.14).

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by £14.2m since 30 June 2021 to £4.8m
(2021: £19.1m). This was driven primarily by the Group Adjusted EBITDA of
£1.2m (2021 18m: £17.6m Group Adjusted EBITDA loss), exceptional costs cash
outflow of £2.8m (2021 18m: £2.2m), net working capital outflow of £2.6m
(2021 18m: £24.1m), capital expenditure of £1.8m (2021 18m: £5.3m), net
repayment of capital and interest on borrowings of £3.7m (2021 18m: £18.6m)
and the repayment of lease liabilities of £4.0m (2021 18m: £6.7m).
Essential Market capital expenditure of £0.2m was undertaken to ensure the
markets remain Covid-safe and £0.6m invested in the initial stages of the
development of Time Out Market Porto. Media invested £0.7m (2021 18m: £0.6m)
in capitalised software development costs to support the Group's increasingly
important digital platforms and £0.4m in the reopening of all offices.
At 30 June 2022 borrowings comprise principally the fully drawn Incus Capital
Finance facility of £20.9m (2021: £19.0m). The facility was fully repaid on
30 November 2022.
On 24 August, the Group agreed an unsecured loan facility of up to £8.0
million with Oakley Capital Investments Limited ("OCI"). The drawn balance on
this facility as 30 November 2022 of £5.2m has been converted to a loan note
("OCI Loan Note") and extended to 31 December 2023. Interest will be charged
at a 90 day average SONIA rate plus 10% per annum, with an arrangement fee of
2% and an exit premium.
On 24 November 2022, the Group agreed a new €35.0m secured four-year term
loan facility with Crestline Europe LLP ("Crestline facility") which will be
used to refinance the Incus Capital Facility. The facility has a term of four
years, with the right to settle in full after two years. Interest may be
capitalised or paid in cash, at the election of the Company, during the first
year at a rate of 9.5% plus 3-month EURIBOR and from the second year onwards
interest will be paid in cash at a rate of 8.5% plus 3-month EURIBOR. There
will separately be an exit premium payable upon full repayment of the
facility, calculated by reference to the principal amount drawn. The facility
is subject to quarterly financial covenants based on minimum liquidity levels
(quarterly testing commencing on 31 December 2022) and target leverage ratio
(quarterly testing commencing on 30 June 2023).
The Company has also executed an equity warrant instrument and agreed to issue
11,400,423 equity warrants on 30 November 2022 and a further 2,264,468 at full
drawdown of the Loan Note Facility (in total representing approximately 3.6%
of its fully diluted share capital) to the Crestline subscribers. The
five-year equity warrants, which have customary anti-dilution protections,
have an exercise price of 39 pence per ordinary share.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis of
accounting as the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and
Company will continue in operational existence and be able to settle their
liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of not
less than one year from the date of approval of the financial statements
("forecast period"). In making this determination, the Directors have
considered the financial position of the Group, projections of its future
performance and the financing facilities that are in place.
In making this assessment the Directors have considered two scenarios over the
forecast period:
The base case assumes a slow but steady period of growth across both Market
and Media. Market revenue is assumed to improve driven by Time Out Market
Lisbon returning to pre-pandemic trading levels and other O&O markets
progressing towards steady-state trading levels by the end of the forecast
period. Our strong Management Agreement pipeline is also forecast to deliver
incremental revenue in the forecast period. Media revenue is assumed to return
to pre-pandemic levels driven by a focus in high-margin digital-first
offerings complemented by the return of Live Events, Affiliate and Offers
revenue. This scenario does assume an appropriate element of cost inflation
but does not include the impact of extended global economic uncertainty or
further pandemic-related restrictions. The downside case sensitises the base
case to assume that the Market Owned & Operated revenue and Media revenue
underperforms the base case by 10% while maintaining the base case gross
margin, with no corresponding reduction in budgeted operating costs over the
forecast period. Consistent with the base it also assumes an appropriate
element of cost inflation but does not include the impact of extended global
economic uncertainty or further pandemic-related restrictions.
The Directors consider the downside case reduction in revenue for each
division to be unlikely given recent performance, however with the uncertainty
created by inflationary and recessionary factors this scenario is considered
severe but plausible.
As set out earlier, the Group has successfully refinanced the Incus Capital
loan facility which was fully settled on 30 November. €5.8m of the new
€35.0m Crestline facility remains undrawn and the agreement allows for the
facility to be extended to €47.5m by mutual consent.
The Board is satisfied that under both scenarios the Group will be able to
operate within the level of its current debt and financial covenants and will
have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations as they fall due
for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial
statements. For this reason, the Group and Company continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Outlook
The post pandemic recovery has continued in the new financial year, with
revenue growth in both Time Out Group divisions meeting management
expectations in Q1. Given the near-term weaker economic outlook, rising
inflation and geo-political uncertainty, the Board recognises the head winds
the Group may face in FY2023. However, it is cautiously optimistic given the
increasing engagement of global brands seeking our multi-channel advertising
solutions and the recent record trading days within the Time Out Market
portfolio.
In contrast to most media and hospitality operators, Time Out Group is
building a valuable long term recurring earnings stream. Already in place are
eight Time Out Market management agreements, either open (two) or signed (six)
with a term of at least 10 years, which will generate a contracted minimum
aggregate contribution to EBITDA of c.£13m per annum when all are
operational. Driven by the appeal of the concept and the increased resource
committed to new site development, the signing of new Market management
agreements in cities around the world is expected to accelerate in 2023 and
beyond.
With a strengthened balance sheet, the Company is in a position to continue to
execute its ambitious plans and deliver further profitable growth.

Notes to the condensed consolidated statements
1. Preliminary Information
The consolidated financial statements of Time Out Group PLC for the year ended
30 June 2022 were authorised by the Board on 6 December 2022. Comparative
information covers the 18 months ended 30 June 2021.
While the financial information included in these summarised financial
statements has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement criteria of UK-adopted International Accounting Standards ("IAS")
and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies
reporting under those standards, this announcement does not itself contain
sufficient information to comply with lASs and IFRSs. The Company expects to
publish full financial statements that comply with lASs and IFRSs in
December 2022.
The financial information set out above does not constitute the Company's
statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2022 but is derived from those
accounts. The statutory accounts for this period will be finalised on the
basis of the financial information presented by the directors in this
preliminary announcement and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies
following the Company's Annual General Meeting. The external auditor has
reported on the accounts and their report did not contain any statements under
Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial information is prepared under the historical cost basis, unless
stated otherwise in the accounting policies.
Alternative performance measures
The Group uses alternative performance measures ("APM") to help management and
analysts to assess the underlying business before one-off and non-cash items.
These include:
· Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as profit or loss before interest,
taxation, depreciation, amortisation, share-based payments, exceptional items
and profit/(loss) on the disposal of fixed assets.
· Adjusted net debt excludes the lease liabilities recognised in
accordance with IFRS 16 "Leases".
· Net revenue is calculated as gross revenue less the share of
concessionaire revenue, further detailed in Note 4.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis of
accounting as the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and
Company will continue in operational existence and be able to settle their
liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of not
less than one year from the date of approval of the financial statements
("forecast period"). In making this determination, the Directors have
considered the financial position of the Group, projections of its future
performance and the financing facilities that are in place.
In making this assessment the Directors have considered two scenarios over the
forecast period:
The base case assumes a slow but steady period of growth across both Market
and Media. Market revenue is assumed to improve driven by Time Out Market
Lisbon returning to pre-pandemic trading levels and other O&O markets
progressing towards steady-state trading levels by the end of the forecast
period. Our strong Management Agreement pipeline is also forecast to deliver
incremental revenue in the forecast period. Media revenue is assumed to return
to pre-pandemic levels driven by a focus in high-margin digital-first
offerings complemented by the return of Live Events, Affiliate and Offers
revenue. This scenario does assume an appropriate element of cost inflation
but does not include the impact of extended global economic uncertainty or
further pandemic-related restrictions. The downside case sensitises the base
case to assume that the Market Owned & Operated revenue and Media revenue
underperforms the base case by 10% while maintaining the base case gross
margin, with no corresponding reduction in budgeted operating costs over the
forecast period. Consistent with the base it also assumes an appropriate
element of cost inflation but does not include the impact of extended global
economic uncertainty or further pandemic-related restrictions.
The Directors consider the downside case reduction in revenue for each
division to be unlikely given recent performance, however with the uncertainty
created by inflationary and recessionary factors this scenario is considered
severe but plausible.
As set out earlier, the Group has successfully refinanced the Incus Capital
loan facility which was fully settled on 30 November. €5.0m of the new
€35.0m Crestline facility remains undrawn and the agreement allows for the
facility to be extended to €47.5m by mutual consent.
The Board is satisfied that under both scenarios the Group will be able to
operate within the level of its current debt and financial covenants and will
have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations as they fall due
for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial
statements. For this reason, the Group and Company continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

condensed set of financial statements as applied in the Group's latest annual
audited financial statements.

4. Segmental information
In accordance with IFRS 8, the Group's operating segments are based on the
figures reviewed by the Board, which represents the chief operating decision
maker. The Group comprises two operating segments:
· Time Out Market - this includes Time Out's share of concessionaires'
sales, revenues from Time Out operated bars and other revenues include retail,
events and sponsorship.
· Time Out Media - this includes the sale of digital and print
advertising, local marketing solutions, live events tickets and sponsorship,
commissions generated from e-commerce transactions, and fees from our
franchise partners.

6. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares during the period.
For diluted loss per share, the weighted average number of shares in issue is
adjusted to assume conversion for all dilutive potential shares. All potential
ordinary shares including options and deferred shares are antidilutive as they
would decrease the loss per share and are therefore not considered. Diluted
loss per share is equal to basic loss per share.

On 24 August, the Group agreed an unsecured loan facility of up to £8.0
