Bow Street Group plc

("Bow Street Group", the "Group" or the "Company")

Unaudited interim results for the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2025

Bow Street Group (AIM: BOW), formerly Tasty plc, the owner and operator of "Wildwood" and "dim t" restaurants, announces its interim results for the 26-week period ended 29 June 2025 ("H1 2025" or the "Period").

H1 2025 key points:

· Revenue of £15.1m (26 week period ended 30 June 2024 "H1 2024": £19.1m), a decrease of 21.0%, in part driven by restructuring of the Group's estate with 32 restaurants trading at the end of the Period (H1 2024: 37 restaurants)

· Adjusted EBITDA¹ of £1.2m (H1 2024: £1.9m)

· Impairment charge of £7.0m (H1 2024: £0.8m) following review across the Group's right-of-use-assets and property, plant and equipment

· Operating loss before highlighted items for the Period of £0.2m (H1 2024: profit £0.6m)

· Net cash balance at 29 June 2025 (excluding property lease liabilities) of £2.4m (H1 2024: £2.2m)

· Full and final settlement for an insurance claim of £2.5m before expenses received in January 2025

· Restructuring Plan formally completed in July 2025

Post period: a new name, a new plan, a new future:

Three significant events occurred on 4 September 2025, post the Period end, which have transformed the Company, its growth strategy and prospects:

· £10.1m (before expenses) raised from new and existing shareholders, refinancing the Group. These funds will allow the Board to refurbish the existing estate, where needed, and update the property portfolio as appropriate. However, more importantly, the funds raised will enable the Company to deliver organic growth and acquire new restaurant brands with growth potential.

· Appointments of David Page as Executive Chairman and Nick Wong as Chief Financial Officer. David and Nick have 52 and 21 years of restaurant experience respectively.

· The Group acquired The Ventnor Bay Company Limited ("VBC"), a private investment vehicle controlled by David Page and Nick Wong at net cash value. The only asset of VBC was approximately £200,000 of cash.

On 9 September 2025, the Company changed its name to Bow Street Group plc.

¹ Adjusted for depreciation, amortisation and highlighted items (full definition can be found in note 3 to the unaudited interim financial information).

David Page, Executive Chairman of Bow Street Group, said:

"Since the Period end, the Group has embarked on a new chapter. We have a stronger balance sheet and a new strategy which involves enhancing and refurbishing the existing estate, investing in the Wildwood and dim t brands, upgrading technology, and delivering acquisitions of successful scalable restaurant businesses.

"I am excited to have joined the Group earlier in September alongside Nick. We are working closely with Jonny and the rest of the team and moving quickly to deliver our plans that will generate value for the Group's shareholders."

Jonny Plant, Chief Executive of Bow Street Group, said:

"During the first half of the year, the Group's revenue was impacted by the well-publicised external pressures impacting across the casual dining sector, as well as the effect of our restructuring plan which meant that we traded from five fewer restaurants at the Period end compared to the prior year. Against this backdrop, we have been firmly focused on driving efficiencies to offset cost inflation and protect EBITDA.

"We enter the second half of the year in a much stronger position than we have been in for several years. I am delighted to be working closely with David and Nick, who have a formidable track record in the hospitality sector, as we deliver the revised growth strategy. It is an exciting time for Bow Street Group, with our stronger balance sheet giving us the opportunities to invest in our brands and estate, which in turn will allow us to deliver a better experience to customers and ultimately achieve sustainable, profitable growth."

Chairman's statement

Introduction

I am pleased to announce the Group's unaudited interim results for the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2025 ("H1 2025" or the "Period"). Since the Period end, the Group has entered a new chapter, with a strengthened executive team, new name and new plan to create value for shareholders. As such, we look forward with confidence as we focus on executing our plans to grow the Group, both organically and through targeted acquisitions.

H1 2025 Trading Performance

During the Period, the Group continued to experience disruption as a direct consequence of the restructuring plan instigated in April 2024 (the "Restructuring Plan"). Three restaurants closed in the first quarter as part of the Restructuring Plan and a further restaurant closed and was sold in the Period to an independent operator with all of the staff transferred. As a result, the Group traded from 32 restaurants at the end of H1 2025, compared with 37 at the end of the 26 weeks ended 30 June 2024 ("H1 2024") (51 at the beginning of H1 2024).

As expected, revenue decreased by 21.0% to £15.1m (H1 2024: £19.1m) primarily due to the impact of the site closures at the end of H1 2024 and a challenging trading environment in the first few months of the year, as previously reported.

Food inflation remained significant during the Period. In addition, in April 2025, labour costs were impacted by the widely reported National Minimum Wage increase, coupled with the 1.2% increase in Employer's National Insurance Contribution ("ErNIC") and the reduction in the ErNIC Threshold from £9,100 to £5,000 which affected all our employees. The Group managed these cost pressures through various revised menu offerings and a continued drive on labour efficiency.

The Group's Adjusted EBITDA* for the Period was £1.2m (H1 2024: £1.9m) while the Group incurred an operating loss before highlighted items of £0.2m (H1 2024: profit £0.6m).

Further to the announcement on 1 August 2025, the Board has reviewed the impairment provision across the Group's right-of-use-assets and property, plant and equipment and, as a result, we have made a net provision of £7.0m (H1 2024: £0.8m). After taking this into account, along with other non-trading items, the Group reported a statutory loss after tax for the period of £7.5m (H1 2024: profit £13.4m).

Cashflow

Cash inflow from operations improved to £0.7m (H1 2024: inflow £0.2m). Overall, the net cash outflow for the period was £0.9m (H1 2024: outflow £1.2m), primarily driven by £1.0m (H1 2024: £1.2m) paid on lease liabilities. In January 2025 the Group received a full and final settlement payment for an insurance claim of £2.5m before expenses relating to losses in 2020. As at 29 June 2025, the Group had a net cash position, before property lease liabilities, of £2.4m (30 June 2024: £2.2m).

Current Trading

In the second half of the financial year, our restaurants and customers have continued to be impacted by the ongoing political and economic uncertainty in the UK, in turn impacting consumer confidence. The Group has pleasingly seen an improved performance since the summer holiday period and is looking to build on positive trading as the fourth quarter begins in the run up to the important festive period.

Revised Growth Strategy

On 4 September 2025, post the Period end, the Group completed a fundraising of £10.1m (before expenses) alongside the acquisition of The Ventnor Bay Company Limited and the appointments of David Page as Executive Chairman and Nick Wong as Chief Financial Officer.

The Board believes the enhanced executive team, together with the proceeds of the fundraising, will be transformative for the Group's prospects by improving the performance of the existing estate whilst also providing the opportunities to acquire attractive restaurant brands with growth potential.

The enhanced executive team has commenced the planning process for the various components of the revised growth strategy. The capital investment programme for the Wildwood and dim t brands, which is required to correct many years of under investment, has already commenced and should provide the Group with opportunities to grow sales and to increase shareholder value.

On 9 September 2025, the Company name changed to Bow Street Group plc.

Outlook

The Group has commenced the execution of the revised growth strategy announced as part of the fundraising in August 2025. This has resulted in the Group having net cash (excluding property lease liabilities) of approximately £11.3m at 28 September 2025, secured the long-term prospects for the Group and positioned it for sustainable growth.

The Group will refurbish restaurants where there is a clear potential to increase trade and will actively adjust the property portfolio where appropriate. We will also seek out and partner with successful restaurant entrepreneurs, leveraging Bow Street Group's status as a highly attractive platform for exciting eating out brands, offering structural benefits of scale, operational synergies, and attractive incentivisation plans for management teams.

With a clear plan, I am excited to work with our teams across the business to deliver our growth strategy and generate value for the Group's shareholders.

Notes to the unaudited interim financial information
for the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2025 (unaudited)

1 General information

Bow Street Group plc is a public limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act (registration number 05826464). The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered address is 32 Charlotte Street, London, W1T 2NQ. The Company's ordinary shares are traded on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM"). Copies of this Interim Statement may be obtained from the above address or on the investor relations section of the Company's website at www.bowstreetgroup.com .

2 Basis of accounting

The unaudited interim financial information for the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2025 has been prepared under accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations as endorsed by the United Kingdom. The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in the preparation of these results as were applied in the Company's latest annual audited financial statements.

The financial information for the 26 weeks periods ended 29 June 2025 and 30 June 2024 have not been subject to an audit nor a review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, issued by the Financial Reporting Council.

The financial information for the period ended 29 December 2024 does not constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 29 December 2024 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 29 December 2024 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

The unaudited interim financial information is presented in Pounds Sterling, being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (£'000) except when otherwise indicated.

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

There were no changes in accounting policies and disclosures during the period.

Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing this unaudited interim financial information, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and measurement of assets and liabilities, income and expense provisions. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Going concern

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion the Directors have considered the financial position of the Group, the fundraising completed after the Period end, forecasts, availability of potential equity funding, other longer term plans and taking into account possible changes in trading performance. The Group monitors cash balances and the impact of inflation closely to ensure there is sufficient liquidity. Accordingly, the Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

3 Revenue, other income and segmental analysis

The Group's activities, comprehensive income, assets and liabilities are wholly attributable to one operating segment (operating restaurants) and arise solely in the one geographical segment (United Kingdom) that the Group is located and operates in. All the Group's revenue is recognised at a point in time being when control of the goods has transferred to the customer.

An analysis of the Group's total revenue is as follows:

	26 weeks ended	26 weeks ended	52 weeks ended
	29 June	30 June	29 December

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Headline EBITDA are key measures for the Group as well as industry analysts as they are indicative of ongoing EBITDA generation of the businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before share based payments and pre-opening costs, where EBITDA is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortisation, amortisation of brand, impairment of property, plant and equipment, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, impairment and changes in fair value of investments, COVID19 related costs, restructuring costs, costs of reverse acquisition, cost of acquisition and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted Headline EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less rent expense calculated on an accrual basis which excludes the effect of IFRS16.

The above items have been highlighted to give more detail on items that are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and which when adjusted shows a profit or loss that reflects the ongoing trade of the business.

5 Income tax

The income tax charge has been calculated by reference to the estimated effective corporation tax and deferred tax rates of 25% (2024: 25%).

Tax charge £nil (2024: £nil). The tax charge for the period is lower than the standard rate of (2024: lower than) corporation tax in the UK due to movement in deferred tax not recognised.

Basic (loss)/profit per ordinary share	(3.79)p	9.15p	9.57p

Diluted (loss)/profit per ordinary share	(3.79)p	8.22p	8.75p

The basic and diluted (loss)/profit per share figures are calculated by dividing the net (loss)/profit for the period attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The diluted earnings per share figure allows for the dilutive effect of the conversion into ordinary shares of the weighted average number of options outstanding during the period. Options are only taken into account when their effect is to reduce basic earnings per share.

During the 26 weeks ended 29 June 2025, the Group recognised an impairment charge of £7.0m (2024: £0.8m) made up of impairment of right-of-use assets of £4.8m (2024: £0.5m) and impairment of property, plant and equipment of £2.2m (2024: £0.3m). The impairment movement is due to the reassessment by each individual cash generating unit following a change in performance and/or change in assets. The impairment calculation is sensitive to changes in the assumptions and estimates used in the underlying forecasts of future performance and cash flows.

The average rate used for modification in 2025 was 4.97% (2024: 4.73%).

The right-of-use assets all relate to property leases. The right-of-use assets as at 29 June 2025 were £14.9m (2024: £21.9m). During the period ended 29 June 2025 the Group made a provision for impairment of the right-of-use assets against a number of sites totalling £4.8m (2024: £0.5m).

Included in profit and loss for the period is £0.9m (2024: £0.9m) depreciation of right-of-use assets and £0.7m (2024: £0.8m) financial expenses on lease liabilities.
