Pre-close Trading Update for FY18

LONDON (UK), 14 January 2019 - JPJ Group plc (LSE: JPJ) (the "Company") announces today an update on trading as it enters the close period in respect of its Full Year results for the year ending 31 December 2018.

Overall, the Board is confident that the Group will report FY 2018 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA at the upper end of current market expectations for the period. 2018 has seen some consistent trends across the Group with the standout being strong organic growth at Vera&John across a number of international markets. Meanwhile, the JPJ segment has reflected the consequences of the introduction of enhanced responsible gambling measures in the UK.

Neil Goulden, Executive Chairman, commented:

"We are pleased with the performance of the Group during 2018, as we continue to take advantage of the growth opportunities present in international markets, notwithstanding what has been a challenging regulatory backdrop in the UK. We enter 2019 in a strong position to deliver further growth and to create value for shareholders."
