RNS Number:4162Q Individual Restaurant Company PLC 31 January 2007 Individual Restaurant Company Plc ("IRC" or "the Group") Trading Update Individual Restaurant Company, the operator of 24 premium casual dining restaurants throughout the UK which predominantly trade under the Piccolino and Restaurant Bar & Grill formats, today announces that it has experienced strong trading for the five week Christmas trading period to 31 December 2006. Compared to the same period last year, total sales were up 30% across the entire restaurant estate. Sales increased by 59% at the 17 Piccolinos and Restaurant Bar & Grill formats, whilst the Bank and Zinc estate was down 2%. The growth in sales was driven, in part, by six new openings completed during the year. Five new Piccolino restaurants were opened in Nottingham, Newcastle, Virginia Water and Wandsworth and Wimbledon in London, as well as the Group's fourth Restaurant Bar & Grill in Leeds. The Group also experienced a strong performance from its like for like estate. The IRC and Bank companies were officially combined on 22 December 2006 following admission of the enlarged group to AIM following the acquisition and fundraising. The integration of the two companies is currently underway and progressing well. Plans to introduce our key business drivers into the Bank and Zinc sites are on track to be in place by the end of March. In addition, plans to transfer the Group's accounting function to Head Office in Manchester are due to be completed one month ahead of schedule. Looking ahead, the Group plans to open six new restaurants in the current year. Three of these new sites have already been secured for Piccolinos in Sheffield and Didsbury and for a Restaurant Bar & Grill in Liverpool. These will be open by July 2007. The Board is also pleased to announce the appointment of Angus Gregory as property director for the Group at an operational level. Angus has a wealth of experience from The Restaurant Group and latterly, Nandos. His principal role will be to identify future sites to satisfy the Group's expansion plans going forward. Angus joins the Group with effect from 1 April 2007. IRC will be releasing its preliminary results for the year ended 31 October 2006 on Monday 26 March 2007. Going forward, results are likely to be produced within a shorter timeframe, in line with industry best practice. Steven Walker, Chief Executive of IRC, commented: "I am delighted to report such positive trading over the Christmas period and continued progress with the integration of our two companies. We remain on target to have completed three new openings in the first half, as well as converting Zinc in Heddon Street to a Piccolino format. We continue to see the Piccolino brand as the principal growth driver for the Group's expansion going forward however we are also having great success with Restaurant Bar & Grills and will continue to roll out this concept on an opportunistic basis." 31 January 2007 Enquiries: Individual Restaurant Company Plc Tel: 0161 839 5511 Steven Walker, Chief Executive Vernon Lord, Finance Director College Hill Tel: 020 7457 2020 Justine Warren This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange END TSTILFETLAIIVID
