Pre-close trading update
Tarsus Group plc (LSE: TRS, 'the Group', 'Tarsus'), the
international business-to-business media group, today provides a
pre-close update.
Trading for the first six months of the year has been in line
with Board expectations. Forward bookings for the year to 31
December 2013 are tracking 11% ahead of last year (as adjusted for
biennial events and acquisitions) and we expect an excellent
outcome for 2013.
Since 17 May 2013 there has been one event held by the Group in
Turkey. REW, the recycling, environment and waste event was held in
Istanbul in June 2013. The event's revenue was ahead of last year's
edition and was in line with management expectations.
Revenue is heavily weighted towards the second half of the year
owing to the timing of the Group's large exhibitions.
Sales for the Group's two biggest events, The Dubai Airshow
(including bookings received at last week's Paris Airshow) and
Labelexpo Europe continue to be well ahead of their previous
cycle.
The Group expects to publish its interim results for the six
months ending 30 June 2013 on 31 July 2013.
