Alex Scrimgeour, Chief Executive of Everyman Media Group PLC,
said:
"The first half of the financial year has been a period of
progress on all fronts, with healthy admissions growth and robust
spend per head, suggesting we are now back on track following the
turbulence of recent years. Despite reduced film output due to the
effect of low production during the pandemic, we've enjoyed three
of the ten highest-ever box office releases in the past twelve
months.
Looking ahead, we are optimistic about our prospects. We are
confident that film production is back up to full speed and that
the flow of excellent content will be bigger and better going
forward, beginning with an attractive pipeline of new releases over
the remainder of this year and next.
We have started the second half of 2022 in line with
expectations and the outlook for the remainder is promising. The
acceleration of our openings strategy is now well underway and we
are excited about the wealth of opportunities emerging to bolster
and supplement the Everyman brand outside of the core
proposition.
Cinema will always be an important part of the fabric of the UK
as a place to be entertained, and has historically remained as such
during more difficult economic conditions and recession. We are
confident that our unique brand of Everyman hospitality remains as
relevant as ever."

Chief Executive's Statement
The first half of 2022 was very positive for Everyman despite
the impact of the Omicron outbreak at the beginning of the period,
with Group revenue of GBP40.7m, an increase of GBP11.8m vs. H1
2019. This was the last comparative period where the estate was
open for a full 26 weeks. We welcomed nearly 1.8m customers into
our venues, an increase of 0.3m vs. H1 2019, with our market share
increasing from 3.0% to 4.5% accordingly. This demonstrates that
the appetite for the Everyman offer remains strong, and is
growing.
A number of titles performed particularly well in the period.
Chief among them was Top Gun: Maverick at the end of May, a
long-anticipated sequel to the 1986 original which has now grossed
over GBP80m at the UK Box Office, with Everyman receiving a 5.8%
market share to date. Other strong titles included The Batman in
March and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in May.
Post-period end, NT Live: Prima Facie became our most successful
Event Cinema ever, with Everyman taking an incredible 18.2% market
share and the highest number of national admissions. For Where the
Crawdads Sing, we took four of the top five venues nationally, and
a 10.9% market share.
Building our team
In the period, we have bolstered our committed and enthusiastic
team to over 1,200, including key hires in Procurement and Finance
as well as local venue managers to support our growth
ambitions.
Will Worsdell joined the Board as Finance Director in June,
having formerly held senior Finance roles at several leisure and
hospitality businesses, including Head of Commercial Finance at
Côte Brasserie, and will support the Group as we continue to
grow.
Baroness Ruby McGregor-Smith joined the Board as a Non-Executive
Director post-period end on 20 September 2022. Ruby brings a wealth
of experience to Everyman, having formerly been the Chief Executive
of Mitie Group Plc, a strategic outsourcing company. Amongst other
roles, Ruby is the Chair of MindGym Plc, the President of the
British Chambers of Commerce and has also been a non-executive
board member at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the
Department for Education.
Enhancing the Everyman experience
We also continue to innovate on the core Everyman offer. In H1
2022 we added a series of multi-venue streaming events in
partnership with AppleTV+, bringing exclusive programming to
Everyman audiences across the country, including a high profile
Q&A with actor Gary Oldman. We put on a strong events calendar,
with - amongst others - opening parties held for both Downton
Abbey: A New Era and Elvis and charity screenings to support those
displaced by the war in Ukraine. We also branched out into
immersive cinema, with events held for Nightmare Alley in January
and, post-period end, for See How They Run. Such events elevate the
Everyman experience further, and once again lead the exhibition
circuit into more ambitious territory.
Post-period end, "Summer in the City" has seen Everyman pop-ups
return to Screen on the Canal at Granary Square, London, The Secret
Garden at The Grove Hotel, Hertfordshire, and, for the first time,
to the iconic courtyard at Somerset House. These open-air venues
have brought the magic of film and the Everyman brand to thousands
of people over the July to September period.
Our food and beverage offer continues to evolve. With a focus on
giving our customers more choice, we have added new vegan items and
sharing dishes to our menus. An estate-wide rollout of new handheld
devices has enabled our customers to order from their seats more
seamlessly and efficiently, and we are seeing the impact of this on
average spends.
Growing the estate
As at 28 September 2022, Everyman currently has 38 cinemas and
129 screens. We opened a new five-screen venue in Edinburgh on 2
April and, most recently, a new four-screen venue in Egham on 23
September.
Demonstrating our continued confidence in Everyman's prospects,
our roll-out pipeline continues, with a new venue due to open in
Durham in November 2022. The pipeline for 2023 is well-developed,
with four further venues confirmed and another two nearing
exchange.
The Board is constantly evaluating new opportunities to grow the
Everyman estate, be that a new build, the conversion of an existing
building or the acquisition of other cinemas, the key consideration
always being that any new venue meets the Board's investment
criteria. The Company is not currently actively evaluating the
acquisition of any portfolio of cinemas.
To maintain our high standards and differentiation against the
market we have continued to invest in our existing estate and, in
the year to 28 September 2022, have fully refurbished our venues in
Bristol, Birmingham, Canary Wharf, Esher and Hampstead.
Performance Review
The Group uses the key performance indicators of Admissions, Box
Office Average Ticket Price and Food & Beverage Spend per Head
to monitor the progress of the Group's activities.

reduction in VAT from 20% to 12.5% in H1 2022 (until 1 April 2022)
and from 20% to 5% in H1 2021.
**Spend per head has been adjusted to reflect the reduction in
VAT from 20% to 12.5% across certain items in H1 2022 (until 1
April 2022), and from 20% to 5% in H1 2021. Deliveroo income has
also been removed to enable like for like comparison with H1
2019.
Admissions
Admissions continued to gather positive momentum in the first
half of 2022. Comparison to the same period in 2021 is challenging
due to government-mandated closure of all venues until 17(th) May
last year. However, admissions increased by 20% vs. the first half
of 2019, driven by organic growth and the opening of nine new
venues in the intervening period.
On a non-VAT adjusted basis, Box Office revenue increased by 22%
vs. the first half of 2019 and Everyman was the only national
operator in growth, with the broader UK cinema industry
experiencing a 20% decline. This shows that appetite for the
Everyman experience continues to grow and that customers are
returning to our cinemas in greater numbers.
Average Ticket Price and Spend per Head
With the VAT benefit removed, Spend per Head increased by 28.9%
when compared to the same period in 2019, driven by continued
investment in our menu and technology, giving our customers more
choice and enabling quicker and more efficient service to
seats.
The fall in average ticket price, whilst modest at 1.5%, has
been driven by the opening of nine new venues between H1 2019 and
the end of the period. With some exceptions, new venues open in
lower pricing tiers, which can temporarily reduce average ticket
price until those venues mature. Since H1 2019 we have also opened
more venues outside of London, where ticket prices are typically
lower.
Outlook
We continue to be optimistic about the future. As we move
through the second half, with encouraging admissions levels to date
and a strong film slate anticipated in Q4, we remain on track to at
least meet expectations for the full year. The economic backdrop at
present is characterised by uncertainty, but we believe our
premium, differentiated offering and strong balance sheet stand us
in good stead.
We remain confident in our offering and our ability to continue
to grow sales, innovate and expand, and look forward to welcoming
more and more customers to an Everyman over time.

*Adjusted EBITDA refers to Operating Profit adjusted for the

impairment charges and share-based payment expenses.
Revenue and Operating Profit
Group revenue in H1 2022 was GBP40.7m compared to GBP7.7m in the
same period last year and GBP28.9m in the first six months of 2019,
due to the upward trajectory of admissions and the opening of nine
new venues between H1 2019 and the end of the period.
Additionally, in July 2020 the Chancellor introduced a temporary
reduced rate of VAT for the hospitality sector, from which Everyman
was able to benefit. In H1 2022 the reduced rate of VAT was 12.5%,
until 31 March 2022, at which point the standard rate of VAT
resumed. For the entirety of H1 2021 the reduced rate of VAT was
5%.
The table below shows revenue adjusted for the removal of the
VAT benefit in each relevant period.

Food & Beverage 16,358 2,524 10,261
Other 3,785 1,128 2,034
The temporary reduced rate of VAT resulted in a GBP0.9m revenue
benefit in H1 2022 and a GBP0.8m revenue benefit in H1 2021.
With the VAT benefit removed, like-for-like Box Office and Food
& Beverage revenue increased by 2.1% vs. the same period in
2019.
Gross Profit Margin in H1 2022 was 62.5%, or 61.7% with the
aforementioned VAT benefit removed. This is consistent with prior
years.
We received significantly less government support in the period,
the only contribution being GBP0.2m in the form of the Omicron
Hospitality and Leisure Grant. In 2021 we received GBP2.8m from the
Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and GBP0.9m in the form of
Coronavirus Business Support Grants.
Administrative Expenses increased from GBP16.3m in H1 2019 to
GBP24.8m in H1 2022. This is commensurate with the increase in
venues: 28 were open at the end of H1 2019 and 37 at the end of H1
2022. Our largest cost increase was Labour (a GBP4m increase vs. H1
2019), driven by the aforementioned new openings, a larger Head
Office team to support the growing business and an 21% increase in
National Living Wage from the beginning of H1 2019 to the end of H1
2022 driving pay increases for our teams.
Utilities costs were GBP0.9m during the period (H1 2019:
GBP0.6m), increasing in line with the growing estate. A significant
proportion of utilities contracts are fixed until October 2023.
Net finance costs
The Group's net bank interest payable was GBP288k in H1 2022, a
GBP38k increase on the same period last year, as a result of the
higher base rate and increased loan commitment fees due to the
GBP10m extension of the facility in March 2021.
The Group's finance charge in H1 2022 was GBP1.4m (H1 2021
GBP1.3m) and is interest charges relating to the unwinding of the
IFRS 16 lease liability in the period.
Share based payments
The share-based payment expense for the period was GBP784k (H1
2021: GBP1,129k) reflecting share option incentives provided to the
Group's management and employees.
Cash flows
Net cash generated in operating activities was GBP9.1m (H1 2021:
GBP0.3m; year ended 30 December 2021: GBP12.2m). The net cash
inflow for the period was GBP1.7m (H1 2021: GBP1.3m; year ended 30
December 2021: GBP3.8m). This is largely represented by capital
expenditure of GBP7.5m relating to build costs for new venues,
existing venue refurbishment and new systems to support the growing
business.
Cash held at the end of the period was GBP5.9m (1 July 2021:
GBP1.7m, 30 December 2021: GBP4.2m). The cash held will be invested
in the continuing development and expansion of the Group's
business.
The Group has access to a GBP40m facility of which GBP14.5m was
drawn at the end of the period.
The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend at this
stage of the Group's development.
Capital Expenditure
During the period, the Group opened a new five-screen venue in
Edinburgh, on 2 April 2022. Post-period end, the Group opened a new
four-screen venue in Egham, on 23 September 2022. We are on track
to open a four-screen venue in Durham in November 2022, and six
further venues in 2023.
The Group continues to invest in its existing estate to maintain
high standards and differentiation against the wider market. During
the period we refurbished our venues in Bristol and Birmingham and,
post-period end, in Canary Wharf, Esher and Hampstead.
Capital investment during the period was GBP6.7m, of which
GBP5.6m was on venues. The remainder related to infrastructure and
head office costs to support the continued growth of the business.
Key projects during the period included new handheld devices and
kitchen screens in venues, to improve the speed, efficiency and
accuracy of our food & beverage offer to customers.

Notes to the financial statements
1 General information
Everyman Media Group PLC and its subsidiaries (together, 'the
Group') are engaged in the ownership and management of cinemas
in the United Kingdom. Everyman Media Group PLC (the Company)
is a public company limited by shares domiciled and incorporated
in England and Wales (registered number 08684079). The address
of its registered office is Studio 4, 2 Downshire Hill, London
NW3 1NR.
2 Basis of preparation and accounting
policies
These condensed interim financial statements of the Group for
the period ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared using accounting
policies consistent with UK adopted International Accounting Standards.
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation
are followed in the condensed set of financial statements as applied
in the Group's latest audited financial statements for the year
ended 30 December 2021.
The financial statements presented in this report have been prepared
in accordance with IFRSs applicable to interim periods. However,
as permitted, this interim report has been prepared in accordance
with the AIM Rules for Companies and does not seek to comply with
IAS34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
These condensed interim financial statements have not been audited,
do not include all of the information required for full annual
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Group's statutory consolidated annual financial statements for
the year ended 30 December 2021. The auditor's opinion on these
financial statements was unqualified, did not draw attention to
any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement
under s498(2) or s498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Going Concern
As part of the adoption of the going concern basis, Everyman continues
to consider the uncertainty caused by the macroeconomic environment.
The Group's financing arrangements include a GBP30m rolling credit
facility (RCF), and a government-backed Coronavirus Large Business
Interruption Loan Scheme ("CLBILS") of GBP10m, both repayable
on or before 15 January 2024. As at 30 June 2022 the Group had
drawn GBP14.5m of this facility and had cash of GBP5.9m, therefore
the net debt position was GBP8.6m, with the undrawn facility at
GBP25.5m.
The facility has leverage and fixed cover charge covenants, and
previous liquidity and EBITDA covenants ended on 31 May 2022.
The Board has reviewed forecast scenarios and is confident that
the business can continue to operate with sufficient headroom.
These forecasts consider scenarios in which there is no further
growth in admissions beyond 2022 levels and include realistic
assumptions around wage increases and inflation. Utilities contracts
are fixed until October 2023 for the majority of venues.
In light of this, the Board consider it appropriate to adopt the
going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Restatement 1
The previously reported results have been restated in respect
of two leases as follows:
Canary Wharf
An assumption was made that rent would increase from March 2020,
however, this was not the case. As a result, the opening lease
liability and right of use asset required amendment, as the discounted
cashflows were greater than actually payable.
Correcting this led to a reduction in the right of use asset of
GBP223,000 with a corresponding decrease in the lease liability
of GBP344,000 and increase in retained earnings of GBP160,000.
This also gave rise to a decrease in depreciation charge of GBP45,000
and decrease in finance charge of GBP24,000. An adjustment to
the gain on concession was made to reduce the gain by GBP21,000.
Chelmsford
Implicit in the lease is a contractual 2.5% compound increase
in rent every 5 years. This meets the definition of an in-substance
fixed payment and so should be accounted for when discounting
the future cash flows upon recognition of the lease.
Accounting for this amendment has led to an increase in right
of use asset of GBP1,174,000 with a corresponding increase of
GBP1,462,000 to the lease liability and a decrease in retained
earnings of GBP197,000. This also gave rise to an increase in
depreciation charge of GBP103,000 and an increase in finance charge
of GBP107,000.
The net impact of both adjustments in Restatement 1 is a reduction
in Group profit across 2019 and 2020 of GBP199,000.
Restatement 2
After finalisation of the prior period financial statements there
was a change to the Practical Expedient for rental concessions
to include those effecting lease payments up to 30 June 2022.
The original practical expedient was limited to arrangements that
impacted rent payments up to 30 June 2021. This meant that some
concessions that had previously been treated as modifications
could now be accounted for using the Practical Expedient.
Accounting for the relevant concessions using the practical expedient
gave rise to a decrease in the group lease liability of GBP26,000.
Gain on concessions was increased by GBP26,000, which is the net
impact to Group profit in 2020 for Restatement 2.

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net
profit/(loss) for the period attributable to Ordinary equity
holders of the parent by the weighted average number of Ordinary
shares outstanding during the year.
The Company has 6.9m potentially issuable shares (H1 2021: 7.5m)
all of which relate to the potential dilution from the Group's
share options issued to the Directors and certain employees and
contractors, under the Group's incentive arrangements. In the
current period these options are anti-dilutive as they would
reduce the loss per share and so haven't been included in the
diluted earnings per share.
