Post Close Trading Statement

Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC ("Moneysupermarket.com" or "the Group"), the UK's leading price comparison site, issues the following trading update relating to the six month period ending 30 June 2013.

Half year revenues are expected to be in the region of £112m and adjusted EBITDA to be around £40m, approximately 10% and 29% * ahead of the same period last year, respectively, and in line with the Board's expectations and the trading update given on 5 June.

Group trading in the second quarter was slower than the first quarter. This was principally because of a lower rate of growth in the Insurance vertical, arising substantially following changes made by Google to its natural search algorithms, reducing our visitors and revenues from natural search in the month of June in the highly competitive insurance search area. As has happened in the past, now the algorithm changes have settled down we are working on regaining our positions in natural search in insurance.

The Group's financial position remains strong. As at 30 June 2013 the Group had cash balances of £26m. The Group will make a special dividend payment of £70m to shareholders on 26 July, as previously announced.
