Coral Products PLC

(the "Company" or "Coral")

Trading update - Q1 - 2020

Further to the update on 14 May 2020 the Board is pleased to provide an update for Q1-2020 (3 months to 31 July 2020).

As set out below underlying operating profit has increased significantly compared to Q1-2019. Underlying operating profit is ahead of management's budgeted expectations.

*The financial headlines disclosed as underlying represent the reported metrics excluding separately disclosed items see note 1 below.

The early actions taken by the Board to cut costs and improve efficiencies are reflected in the reported result.

These Q1-2020 results were despite a near 25% fall in sales in the comparative period in the previous year, all of which stems from the trading conditions surrounding Covid-19.

When sales return to historical levels, as and when Covid-19 begins to fade, then the contribution from the increased sales should further improve profitability.

Cash management remains a priority but with the receipt of the GBP1m Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (notified 14 May 2020) the Company has significantly reduced creditor pressure whilst remaining within its agreed facilities and loan covenants.

The Board is confident, subject to the Covid-19 caveat below, that cash flow should further improve over the remainder of the financial year.

The prevailing uncertainties arising from the ongoing Covid-19 crisis and the danger of a secondary wave which could lead to further deterioration in trading conditions prevents the Board from giving any further guidance on the outcome for the current financial year.

Moulding and extrusions operations remain as previously disclosed in the Company's trading update of 14 May 2020.

Note 1 - Underlying profit before tax, underlying earnings per share, underlying operating profit, underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation are defined as being before share based payment charges, amortisation of intangibles recognised on acquisition, acquisition costs, reorganisation costs, compensation for loss of office and impairment loss on trade receivables. Collectively these are referred to as separately disclosed items. In the opinion of the directors the disclosure of these transactions should be reported separately for a better understanding of the underlying trading performance of the Group.

This announcement contains inside information for the purpose of Article 7 of the EU Regulation 596/2014 and has been arranged for release by Sharon Gramauskas, Finance Director of the Company.
