Sustainable growth supporting key stakeholders

Cost controls and efficiencies offset impact of inflation without needing major price increases

Zero Covid overhang with capex caught up in FY22 and no outstanding obligations or debt

The Group has delivered its strongest ever trading performance in FY22, the first undisrupted financial year of trading since the pandemic began in March 2020. It is expected that profit for the year FY22 will be at the upper end of market expectations.

Following this strong performance with good cash generation, the Group moved to a net cash position at the year-end for the first time in its history. This was achieved while still being able to resume dividend payments and continuing to invest in high-returning projects that will secure long-term sustainable growth for the business.

Our pipeline of new centres is healthy. There were two new centres opened in 2022 and we are excited that at least four more centres are expected to be developed and open in 2023. We are focused on growth opportunities in the UK where we have a proven model which combines a high-quality entertainment experience with value-for-money.

Costs have been carefully managed, with operational efficiencies extracted to minimise the impact of cost inflation without the need to raise prices to our customers. We have ensured that we reward our colleagues for this excellent performance through a performance-related bonus scheme and by bringing forward wage increases for 87% of our teams to help our people manage the inflationary impact on their personal finances.聽

The Group plans to announce its full-year results on 22 March 2023 where further details will be given setting out the strategy for building further growth from this very strong platform.

Graham Blackwell, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"A record-breaking performance delivered for 2022 demonstrating our customer appeal and our team's commitment to excellence in entertainment.

I am extremely grateful to our amazing teams who have made this excellent result possible. Everyone has worked hard to continue to provide high quality family entertainment at affordable prices. We have been rewarded by strong sales growth compared to 2019, bucking the trend in UK hospitality and leisure and have even managed to grow against our record-breaking second half of 2021.

We know that there will be challenges this year, but with such a strong 2022 behind us and a proven track record, we are confident that we will continue to deliver an excellent experience and high-quality service. Our winning formula of great value for money social entertainment makes us well placed to continue to deliver strong returns for our shareholders."
