Trading Update

The Group is pleased to report a strong start to the year with the good
momentum from FY2021 continuing and expects the overall Company performance in
FY2022 to be in line with market expectations.

The four months ending 30 April 2022 has seen significant revenue growth, at
improved profit margins, compared to the same period in 2021. This provides
management with high confidence for the remainder of FY2022.

Average monthly bookings for the four months to 30 April 2022 stood at
£13.0m, up 81% compared to the same period in 2021.

The Group remains focused on delivering profitable and controlled growth,
based on a strong forward contract book as well as unlocking the benefits of
its 'Digital by Default' strategy.

During the period the Group also announced the creation of a Metering Services
Division providing the ability to control a larger part of the value chain and
drive significant value enhancement over the medium term.

Yü Group will provide a further update in its July trading update, covering
the period to 30 June 2022.

Bobby Kalar, Chief Executive Officer, Commented:

"I am pleased to report a very strong start to the year. Despite commodity
market volatility, we have delivered record revenues for the four months to
30(th) April 2022, with continued strong momentum.

I'm delighted that the Group has acquired the management capability of a smart
metering business, which I truly believe to be a game-changer. I look forward
to scaling this new capability, combined with the efficiencies from our
Digital by Default strategy, to further enhance our growth and profitability."
