Change of Financial Year End

Time Out Group plc announces a change to its accounting reference date and financial year end from 31 December to 30 June with immediate effect. Going forward interim and annual reports will be published each year for the 6 months to 31 December and 12 months to 30 June respectively.

The Group's activities have continued to evolve in recent years, notably with the trading success and global roll out of Time Out Markets. The division's trading in the medium to long term (post-COVID) is likely to be a very significant contributor to the Group's revenues and profits, as well as being increasingly seasonally weighted to the second half of the calendar year. As a consequence, the Board believes that a 30 June year end will be in the best interest of the Company.
