Capital Markets Seminar and Trading Update
Capital Markets Seminar
Tarsus Group plc (LSE: TRS, "Tarsus" or the "Group") is hosting
a Capital Markets Seminar for analysts and investors later today to
be held at Saddlers' Hall, 40 Gutter Lane, EC2V 6BR at 4pm. The
event will provide insight on the Group's Chinese operations, with
a focus on Shenzhen.
No new material information will be made available.
Trading update
The Group's trading to date continues to be in line with our
expectations with larger events performing well. Bookings for the
full year 2018 are up 9% and buyers for the year to date are up 9%,
both on a like for like basis. Bookings for the large 2019 events
are also performing well.
A number of our larger events have recently taken place.
In the US, Labelexpo Americas achieved a record edition with an
83% rebook for its next edition. The biggest Connect event of the
year was held in Salt Lake City and Painweek was held in Las Vegas
with both performing in line with expectations. The latest edition
of Off Price was steady in a weak retail environment. In Turkey,
Zuchex achieved a record event with strong growth over its previous
edition.
Foreign currency rates have been volatile across 2018 to date.
The US dollar rate movements have had a marginally positive impact
partially offsetting the weaker Turkish Lira.
Douglas Emslie, Tarsus Group Managing Director, said:
"Our "Quickening the Pace 2" is delivering both operationally
and strategically and we remain confident that 2018 will be another
year of strong progress for the Group."
Future diary
The Group expects to publish a trading update for the year
ending 31 December 2018 on 14(th) January 2019.
