Customer Update

Epwin Group Plc, the low maintenance building products manufacturer, supplying businesses in the Repair, Maintenance and Improvement ("RMI"), new build and social housing sectors, announces the following update regarding the changing circumstances within its customer base.

In the trading update on 16 August 2017 Epwin announced that one of the Group's customers, accounting for around 5% of the Group's revenue, was facing significant funding issues and undertaking a strategic review. At that time the implications of this were unclear.

On 31 August 2017 the parent company of the customer in question, Entu (UK) plc ("Entu") appointed administrators who sold the trade and assets of this customer to a new entity which has indicated their intention to maintain continuity of trading and to invest in the business. Epwin is currently supplying product on a cash basis to this entity and discussions on any future trading relationship are ongoing.

At the time the administrators were appointed to Entu a debtor balance, net of VAT, of cGBP3.9 million was outstanding from this customer. The level of recoverability of this debtor is not able to be determined at this stage pending discussions with the administrators.

Whilst it is obviously disappointing to report this, these amounts are well within the Group's financial capacity and are non-recurring. As stated on 16 August 2017, the Group's financial position remains strong with net debt at the half year less than one times 2016 EBITDA and with significant funding headroom to continue to invest in the business.

The Group will update shareholders on these matters in due course, as appropriate.
