RNS Number:5565B IFR Capital PLC 06 August 2007 6 August 2007 IFR CAPITAL PLC Interim Results for the Six Months to 30 June 2007 IFR Capital Plc ("IFR Capital" or the "Company": IFR.LN), the investment company focused on consolidation opportunities in the European food retal sector, today announces interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2007. Highlights * EBITDA of Euro 5 million on sales of Euro 164 million * On track to achieve Euro 40 million of EBITDA in fiscal 2007 * Board reiterates target of Euro1.5 billion of sales & EBITDA margin of at least 10% by the end of 2009 * Strong prospects for continued profitable growth - range of attractive investment opportunities Operational Review The results for the period include contributions from Nordsee Fisch-Spezialitaten GmbH ("Nordsee") and Bastian's GmbH ("Bastian's"). As at 30 June 2007, IFR Capital had committed to but not completed the acquisition of Homann Chilled Food GmbH ("Homann"). Consequently, Homann's assets and liabilities are consolidated into IFR Capital's balance sheet as at 30 June 2007 but its trading result is not included within the IFR's profit and loss account. IFR completed the acquisition of Homann on 4 July 2007. IFR Capital's sales for the six months ended 30 June 2007 were Euro164 million, while EBITDA amounted to Euro 5 million. Both sales and EBITDA are in line with the Board's expectations. Taking the seasonality of Nordsee into account, the Board expects the Company to achieve sales of Euro 509 million and EBITDA of Euro 40 million in the year to 31 December 2007. The annual surplus will attain to a double digit range. The equity to total asset ratio at the end of the period was 30,0%. IFR currently has Euro 215 million of long term interest bearing third party debt. The year end results will also include the Homann figures, which is part of the reason for the strong increase compared to 2006 (expected 2007 EBITDA of Euro 40 million compared to 2006 of Euro 24 million, which is equivalent to an increase of 67%. Sales is expected to be around Euro 509 million by 31 December 2007 which is a 46% increase compared to the 2006 sales of Euro 349 million. In addition to improving its existing operational efficiency in Germany and Austria, Nordsee is also making steps towards international expansion, including the exploration of franchise agreements in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The first of these franchise outlets is expected to open in 2008. In the domestic market, Nordsee is piloting new restaurant formats, such as the ' Strandhaus' ('beach house'), a full service fish restaurant with modern ambience and front cooking, and the 'bar di mar', which addresses the premium market segment. The integration of Homann has begun and is proceeding faster than management expectations. The management structure has been streamlined, overhead costs have been reduced and new supplier contracts are being put in place with Nordsee. The current EBITDA margin of Nordsee improved to 9% whereas Homann's amounts to 7%. IFR Capital continues to explore acquisition opportunities that have the potential to deliver synergies to enhance returns. It will continue to target companies valued at 6-8x EBITDA with EBITDA margins of 5-7%. By specializing in retail (shops and restaurants), manufacturing (wholesale and production) and distribution, substantial synergies can be created leading to business turnarounds and EBITDA enhancement. Heiner Kamps summarizes: "The Company is pleased with its development during the six months ended 30 June 2007 and reiterates its stated target of achieving turnover in excess of Euro1.5 billion and an EBITDA margin of at least 10% by the end of 2009. The Board looks forward to the second half of 2007."

Founded in October 2006 by ACP Capital and food retail entrepreneur Heiner Kamps, IFR was admitted to trading on AIM in November 2006 after raising approximately Euro135 million pre costs. IFR is currently considering various opportunities in the European food sector with a view to acquiring potentially synergistic businesses that would help propagate the company's further growth. IFR recently acquired 100% of the fully diluted share capital of Homann Chilled Food GmbH for Euro89 million, representing a significant step towards the vision of creating a diversified European food enterprise. Further opportunities include the ongoing expansion of IFR's new premium bakery brand Bastian's to major European cities. Further details of these opportunities will be announced as they become available. Ultimately, IFR's intended long-term strategy is to create a leading, vertically-integrated food business with turnover of at least Euro1.5 billion by 2009 and an EBITDA margin of approximately 10%.
