NOTES TO EDITORS

Photo-Me International plc (LSE: PHTM) operates, sells and services a wide range of instant-service vending equipment, primarily aimed at the consumer market.

The Group operates approximately 47,000 vending units across 18 countries and its technological innovation is focused on three principal areas:

   --    Identification: photobooths and integrated biometric identification solutions 
   --    Laundry: unattended laundry services, launderettes, B2B services 
   --    Kiosks: high-quality digital printing 

The Group entered the self-service fresh fruit juice equipment market in April 2019, with the acquisition of SEMPA Sarl. This will become a key business area alongside Identification, Laundry and Kiosks, and will be a significant part of the Group's future growth strategy.

In addition, the Group operates vending equipment such as children's rides, amusement machines and business service equipment.

Whilst the Group both sells and services this equipment, the vast majority of units are operated and maintained by Photo-Me. Photo-Me pays the site owner a commission based on turnover, which varies depending on the country and location of the machine.

The Group has built long-term relationships with major site owners and its equipment is generally sited in prime locations in areas of high footfall such as supermarkets, shopping malls (indoors and outdoors) and public transport venues. The equipment is maintained and serviced by an established network of 700 field engineers.
