Half-Year Trading Update and Notice of Half-Year Results

Ten Lifestyle Group plc (AIM: TENG), a leading technology-enabled, global concierge platform for the world's wealthy and mass affluent, announces a trading update for the six months ended 28 February 2021 ahead of its half year results, which will be announced on Thursday 13 May 2021.

·   Net Revenue¹ in H1 of c. £17.4m; with demand subdued for core dining, travel and live entertainment services throughout the period.

· Adjusted EBITDA² in H1 broadly in line with the Board's expectations.

· Net cash at the end of H1 of £8.2m (FY 2020: £10.0m).

· The Group's future performance is closely linked with the nature of the global COVID-19 recovery, by region. Whilst demand is beginning to return in some countries, the continuing effects of COVID-19 globally, combined with the recent strengthening of Sterling, is expected to delay the recovery of Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in the second half of the financial year.

· The Group continues to agree contract renewals with existing corporate clients and develop a strong pipeline of new business.

· The Group continues to invest in its proprietary digital platforms and its digital transformation.

¹ Net Revenue excludes the direct cost of sales relating to certain member transactions managed by the Group.

² Adjusted EBITDA is post-IFRS16 and is operating profit/(loss)/ before interest, taxation, amortisation, share-based payments and exceptional costs.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 596/ 2014. For the purposes of MAR and Article 2 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1055, this announcement is being made on behalf of Ten by Alan Donald, Chief Financial Officer of Ten.
