Half Year Trading Update

Science in Sport plc (AIM: SIS), a leading sports nutrition company, is pleased to announce the following pre-close trading update ahead of its financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

The Board is pleased to report another period of strong sales growth, and significant progress in execution of the Company's growth strategy.

Sales increased 24% to £6.48 million in the six months to 30 June 2016 compared with the same period for the previous year (H1 2015 £5.24 million). Sales growth was particularly strong via the Company's website and from third party online retailers. Growth in international markets was also strong, and the recently launched Australian business is trading in line with expectations.

The Company increased its database of customers on its own website significantly ahead of target. International expansion of the scienceinsport.com trading platform is to accelerate in the second half of the year, with July seeing websites launch in the new markets of USA and Germany, and native language websites launched in the existing markets of Italy and Holland.

Costs remain tightly controlled and the Company is in a strong financial position with over £6.5 million of net cash, leaving it well placed to exploit further growth opportunities as they arise. The Board remains confident of the outlook for the full year and beyond.

SiS intends to issue its half year results on Thursday 22 September 2016.

Stephen Moon, Science in Sport's CEO, said: "We have had a strong start to the year in a difficult market, and have made very good progress, particularly when many of our competitors have faced growth challenges."

"We have invested heavily in our e-commerce business and in international markets, and together with our strong innovation pipeline, we expect this to underpin the second half of the year."
