"Very good progress has been made during the period, in line
with the growth strategy outlined at the IPO in April 2017. Tenpin
is building towards being the ideal hallmark to attract today's
modern leisure customer.
"TEG is demonstrating a good growth formula, driven by a
combination of organic sales growth, a continuous refurbishment
programme and laser-like acquisitions. I am confident that
full-year Group adjusted EBITDA will be at the top end of the range
of current market consensus."
Alan Hand, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The business has shown good momentum since the IPO and has
performed well in meeting our key performance objectives.
"I am particularly encouraged by the business transformation
opportunity of the innovative Pins & Strings technology,
expanded into a further five sites during the second-half of the
year. This technology is transforming the experience for our
customers as well as improving the dynamics of our business model.
In addition, we have made further improvements to the quality of
the customer experience, through our highly committed and engaged
colleagues."
