NEWBURY RACECOURSE PLC
(the "Racecourse" or the "Company")
Interim results for the 6 months ended 30 June 2022
Newbury Racecourse plc, the racing, entertainment and events business, today announces its half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2022.
2022 Financial and Business Update
-- Statutory turnover increased by 46% to GBP7.81m (2021: GBP5.37m).
-- Operating profit before interest, tax and exceptional items of GBP0.14m (2021: Loss of GBP0.38m)
-- Consolidated group profit on ordinary activities before tax of GBP0.22m (2021: Loss of GBP0.34m).
-- Raceday attendances of 57,300 (2021: 4,400). Fifteen meetings held with a paying attendance crowd compared with two meetings (plus ten held behind closed doors) in 2021.
-- Final GBP10.7m receipt received from David Wilson Homes in March under the 2012 development agreement.
-- Nat West Bank and Compton Beauchamp loans fully repaid resulting in the Company currently being debt-free.
-- The Company has satisfied the commitment made in 2012 to return capital to shareholders with a special interim dividend of 89.6 pence per share, which was announced in May and paid in June 2022.
-- GBP1m investment into Berkshire Stand first floor facilities alongside Levy Restaurants (catering partner).
-- New commercial relationship between the Company and Entain Group meaning that Coral will become the title sponsor of the two-day Coral Gold Cup Meeting at the end of November in a three-year deal.
-- Following planning consent, the Company has also reached agreement with Underbelly Ltd to launch the Great Christmas Carnival which will take place at the racecourse for thirty five days commencing 25(th) November. The Company expects this arrangement to create an important new revenue stream with the opportunity to potentially develop the event for an additional four years beyond 2022.
Dominic Burke, Chairman of Newbury Racecourse plc commented:
" Trading for the first half of the year was satisfactory with raceday attendances returning to pre-pandemic levels, enabling the business to deliver results broadly in line with management's expectations. Due to the current economic environment, we expect some raceday revenue challenges in the second half of the year but, despite this, we continue to commit additional resources into prizemoney to support our key stakeholders. Despite the current economic environment, we remain confident in the long term prospects for the Company .
On a separate, sad, note the nation mourns the loss of a much loved and respected Monarch. Throughout her life, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was a figurehead for British Horseracing and we are honoured to have so many memories of her here at the racecourse, including multiple winners in the Royal colours. I can express the deep gratitude of myself and all at Newbury Racecourse for her unwavering support for, and appreciation of, British racing over many decades. Our heartfelt condolences to His Majesty The King and the Royal family"

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
2022 Trading
In the first six months of 2022 the horseracing industry and our business returned to normal trading activity following the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic impacting operations after March 2020.
Total turnover increased by 46% compared to the same period in 2021 to GBP7.81m. Overall operating profits for the six months were slightly higher than our expectations at GBP0.14m (2021: loss of GBP0.38m) as, compared to the prior year, we were able to host our racing fixtures with crowds. Profits before tax for the period were GBP0.22m (2021: Loss of GBP0.34m)
Our racing to date has been thrilling and competitive as ever, demonstrating our continued ability to attract the very best horses across both codes. Highlights so far this year have included wins in the February Betfair Hurdle for Glory and Fortune and for Eldorado Allen in the Denman Chase. The start of the 2022 flat season was held over the Easter weekend in April, with Wild Beauty, Max Vega and Perfect Power winning the main races in the Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials. The Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes was won in majestic fashion by Baaeed, who subsequently went on to win the further Group 1 races, the Queen Anne Stakes, the Qatar Sussex Stakes and the Juddmonte International, and is currently ranked as the World's best racehorse. Raceday declared attendances for the first half of the year have been 57,300 which is 2% down on pre-pandemic levels.
Our non-racing businesses continue to be a significant focus for us as we aim to broaden our trading activities. The Lodge hotel re-opened in January this year where we have seen trading levels beyond our expectations, particularly given that it had been closed for 22 months. Likewise, the Rocking Horse Nursery remains a solid profitable business.
Beyond these results, the July Weatherby's Super Sprint Day featured our first Party in the Paddock event of the year with Craig David returning to the racecourse and performing to an excited crowd after a great day's racing. The feature race of the day attracted 21 horses and was won in style by Eddie's Boy. Our second Party in the Paddock took place at August's BetVictor Hungerford Day where the Hungerford Stakes was won by Jumby ridden by William Buick. Judge Jules's DJ set was followed by the Ministry of Sound Classical concert.
Financing and Dividends
The final GBP10.7m receipt for the balance of the guaranteed minimum land value under the 2012 David Wilson Homes development agreement, was received in March this year as per the contract. The Company does not expect to receive any further payments from this agreement.
Subsequently this enabled the business to settle the outstanding GBP4.5m balance on the Nat West Bank loan as well as make the final GBP2.7m repayment of the Compton Beauchamp Estates Loan, meaning that the Company is currently free of debt.
Given the completion of the David Wilson Homes transaction I am pleased that we have been able to satisfy the commitment made in 2012, and in many subsequent announcements, to return capital to shareholders. On 5 May the Board announced the declaration of a GBP3m special interim dividend distribution which has now been fully paid.
Outlook
Trading for the first half of the year was satisfactory with raceday attendances returning to pre-pandemic levels, enabling the business to deliver results broadly in line with management's expectations. Due to the current economic environment, we expect some raceday revenue challenges in the second half of the year but, despite these challenges, we continue to commit additional resources into prizemoney to support our key stakeholders. Despite the current economic environment, we remain confident in the long term prospects for the Company .
Meanwhile we now look ahead to the final fixtures of the Autumn Flat programme. The Dubai Duty Free International Weekend in September will be followed by the return of Oktoberfest at the end of October's weekend racing. Attention will then turn to the National Hunt season in November with both the Winter Carnival weekend and Gold Cup race now being sponsored by Coral. The year will then draw to a close on the 31(st) December with the popular festive gathering of the Challow Hurdle.
We look forward to welcoming all those associated with the racecourse to these fixtures and our other business activities for the remainder of 2022.
On a separate, sad, note the nation mourns the loss of a much loved and respected Monarch. Throughout her life, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was a figurehead for British Horseracing and we are honoured to have so many memories of her here at the racecourse, including multiple winners in the Royal colours. I can express the deep gratitude of myself and all at Newbury Racecourse for her unwavering support for, and appreciation of, British racing over many decades. Our heartfelt condolences to His Majesty The King and the Royal family.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
Performance Review
Turnover increased by 46% to GBP7.81m (2021: GBP5.37m) in the first half of the year, albeit the same period in 2021 was impacted by severe COVID-19 pandemic restrictions with ten racing fixtures taking place behind closed doors, the hotel being fully closed and our Conference & Events business being partly closed. Gross profit increased to GBP1.55m (2021: GBP0.7m) reflecting the increase in turnover and the impact of the Levy catering partnership royalty reporting.
Administrative expenses of GBP1.41m (2021: GBP1.15m) increased year-on-year due to the full re-opening of the site this year.
Mid-year operating profits of GBP0.14m were better than expectations and last year (2021: Loss of GBP0.38m)
Exceptional items in the first six months of 2022 were a credit of GBP0.03m (2021: credit of GBP0.06m) being the fair value movement on the David Wilson Homes debtor, which has now fully unwound given the debt is fully paid.
The pre-tax profit on ordinary activities was GBP0.22m (2021: loss of GBP0.34m).
Racing
The racecourse has hosted fifteen racedays to 30(th) June 2022. This compares to twelve staged during the same period in 2021, of which ten were behind closed doors and the remaining two had crowd restrictions. Declared attendances in the first six months were 57,300, compared with 4,400 for the same period in 2021.
Total media related revenues of GBP2.75m, were up 26% on the same period in 2021, as a consequence of the higher number of racedays being hosted as well as Licensed Betting Offices being closed for periods in early 2021.
We are grateful to have received continued significant support from all of our sponsors, with particular thanks to Al Shaqab, Betfair, BetVictor, Starlight Children's Foundation, Compton Beauchamp Estates and Dubai Duty Free for their committed investment in the first half of the year.
Catering, Hospitality and Conference & Events
Following the partnership agreement with Levy Restaurants which commenced in June 2021, the Company will receive royalty income from the shared arrangement rather than reporting full income and costs. The royalty income of GBP0.17m in the first half of 2022 compares with a nominal amount reported for the two racedays hosted with a limited crowd in 2021. The partnership has enabled us to invest in our facilities with the Berkshire Stand first floor area re-launching in May following a substantial refurbishment.
Conference & Events has performed well in 2022 but we continue to run off business as we no longer actively market this activity subject to review. Consequently, our revenues up to 30 June 2022 were GBP0.12m compared with the same figure in 2021, resulting in an operating profit of GBP0.08m (2021: profit of GBP0.08m).
The Lodge
Our 36-bedroom onsite hotel remained closed to the public throughout 2021. It was re-opened in January this year and has performed strongly with occupancy and room rates only slightly down on the normal levels we experienced pre-pandemic. Revenue for the first half of the year was GBP0.34m (2021: GBPnil) and a reported profit of GBP0.05m (2021: GBPnil)
Rocking Horse Nursery
The Rocking Horse Nursery has continued to trade throughout. Revenues in the first six months of 2022 were GBP0.86m, up 8% on the comparative period in 2021 of GBP0.80m. This business unit reported an operating profit of GBP0.31m (2021: profit of GBP0.31m).

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
Six months ended 30 June 2022
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Newbury Racecourse PLC (the "Company") is a public company incorporated, domiciled and registered in England in the UK. The registered number is 00080774 and the registered address is The Racecourse, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 7NZ.
These Group and parent company financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102").
These interim financial statements do not include all of the notes and disclosures required to comply with FRS102, as they have been prepared in accordance with the content, recognition and measurement principles for interim financial reports, Financial Reporting Standard 104 (FRS 104).
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of S434 of the Companies Act 2006. The auditor's report on the accounts of Newbury Racecourse plc for the 12 months to 31 December 2021 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain any statement under S498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 and has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group's most recent annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 and those expected to be applied for the year ending 31 December 2022.
3. ESTIMATES
When preparing the Interim Financial Statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Interim Financial Statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The only exceptions are the estimate of income tax liabilities which is determined in the Interim Financial Statements using the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.
4. GOING CONCERN
The Board has undertaken a full, thorough and continual review of the Group's forecasts and associated risks and sensitivities, over the next twelve months. The extent of this review reflects the current economic climate as well as the specific financial circumstances of the Group.
The Board identified that the Group's cash flow forecasts are sensitive to fluctuating revenue streams from ticket sales, corporate hospitality, conference and event income. A system of regular reviews of the forecasted business has been implemented to ensure all variable costs are flexed to match anticipated revenues. In addition, a number of race meetings have been insured for adverse weather conditions (and other factors such as animal disease and national mourning), reducing the levels of risk carried by the Group.
The Board has reviewed the cash flow and working capital requirements in detail. Following this review, the Board has concluded that it has reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources in place to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and has not identified a material uncertainty in this regard. On this basis the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.
5. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Services rendered, raceday income including admissions, catering revenues, sponsorship and licence fee income is recognised on the relevant raceday. Annual membership income and box rental is recognised over the period to which they relate.
Other income streams are also recognised over the period to which they relate, for example, conference income is recognised on the day of the conference, the Lodge hotel income is recognised over the duration of the guests stay and nursery income is recognised as the child attends the nursery.
Sale of goods revenue is recognised for the sale of food and liquor when the transaction occurs.
6. PROPERTY RECEIPTS
Property receipts are recognised in accordance with the nature of the transaction being that of an exceptional sale of land. The minimum guaranteed sum, as set out in the agreement with David Wilson Homes, is recognised at the point of sale. In accordance with FRS102, at each reporting date, the sum receivable is re-estimated based upon currently projected land value with the difference between this value and the discounted net present value recorded in the profit and loss account.

10. TAXATION
The tax has been computed in accordance with FRS 104 Interim Financial Reporting.

11. PROFIT PER SHARE
Basic and diluted profit per share of 3.23p (2021, loss per share: 1.67p) is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the period ended 30 June 2022 of GBP108,000 (2021 loss of: GBP56,000) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the period of 3,348,326 (2021: 3,348,326).

In 1959 a revaluation of part of the freehold land at GBP117,864
gave rise to an excess of GBP75,486 over its cost and this
sum is included in the total value of this asset. The excess
on revaluation is credited to the Revaluation Reserve. The
net book value of freehold land and buildings (and excluding
outdoor fixtures) determined by the historical cost convention
is GBP36,051,000 (2021: GBP36,609,000).
In 2018 the board revisited the residual values and useful
economic lives of the land enhancements and major buildings
on the site. Savills were instructed to provide an estimate
of the residual values and these were applied in re estimating
the depreciation charge for those assets. There was no further
change in the residual values or useful economic lives during
2022.
