("SiS" or the "Company")

TRADING UPDATE

Science in Sport plc (AIM: SIS), a leading sports nutrition company that develops, manufactures and markets sports nutrition products for professional athletes and sports enthusiasts, is pleased to announce its trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

Sales for the period grew 20% year on year ('YOY') to £9.94m (2017: £8.27m). Growth was underpinned by a strong performance in International markets, with 53% improvement YOY to £3.4m, including new markets as we continue to invest in the USA, Italy and Australia in line with our stated strategy. Despite the impact of the planned investment in a new e-commerce platform affecting two months, online channels grew 25% in the period and finished strongly, with 44% YOY growth for June and our scienceinsport.com business growing at 63% over the same period, with all key trading metrics well ahead of last year. Tough trading conditions in UK retail resulted in a 3% decline YOY, although we gained new customers and distribution towards the end of the period, which gives us confidence for the second half.

We closed the half with a record trading month across the business, generating sales of £2.22m (33% YOY) in June.

The Board remains confident in its outlook for the full year and beyond.

The Company will issue its Interim Results on Thursday 20 September.
