Whilst the timing and budgets for projects continue to be uncertain, and activity levels will be weighted to the second half, the Board currently expects that performance for the full year will be in line with market expectations.  The Board expects the Group will be cash generative in FY25 .   Commenting, Russell Down, Executive Chairman, said:   " The first quarter of the year was shaped by the continuation of industry wide production delays, with activity levels increasing in the second quarter. Our market share remains strong. The actions taken by the Board to drive efficiency and protect our balance sheet have ensured we are well placed to navigate this environment. Encouragingly, the momentum that built through the second quarter has continued into H2, with utilisation rates improving and market conditions beginning to normalise ."   *Adjusted EBITDA is the adjusted profit before tax, prior to the addition of finance income and deduction of depreciation, amortisation, and finance expenses. The adjusted EBITDA measurement removes non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that may distort EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA provides a more normalised metric to make comparisons more meaningful across the Group and other companies in the same industry.   For further enquiries:   Facilities by ADF plc Russell Down, Executive Chairman Neil Evans, Chief Financial Officer   via Alma Cavendish Capital Markets (Nomad and Broker) Ben Jeynes / George Lawson / Hamish Waller - Corporate Finance Michael Johnson / Sunila de Silva - Sales / ECM   Tel: +44 (0)20 7220 0500   Alma Strategic Communications Josh Royston Hannah Campbell Sarah Peters   Tel: +44 (0)20 3405 0205 [email protected]   OVERVIEW OF FACILITIES BY ADF PLC   The Facilities by ADF Group is the leading provider of premium serviced production facilities along with location services and ground protection equipment to the UK film and high-end television (''HETV'') industry.   The Group serves customers in an industry that has experienced, notwithstanding the Strikes in 2023, significant growth in recent years, with additional demand driven by a material rise in the consumption of film and HETV content via streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, and Amazon Prime. The UK film and TV industry has directly benefited during this growth due to the quality of its production facilities and studios, highly skilled domestic workforce, geography, accessibility to Europe, English language environment and strong governmental support. Major US streaming companies have now set up permanent bases in the UK, with the UK now the film and TV industry's second largest operation after North America.   Facilities by ADF's   production fleet is made up of more than 800 technical vehicles, premium mobile make-up, costume and artiste trailers, production offices, mobile bathrooms, diners and school rooms.   To strengthen its position as a One-Stop-Shop for the Film and HETV industry, ADF acquired Location One Ltd, the UK's largest TV and film location service provider, in November 2022, and then further expanded in September 2024 by acquiring Autotrak Portable Roadways Ltd, a market leader in portable roadway solutions, diversifying the Group's offerings and customer base. Executive Chairman's review   Overview The Group's H1-FY25 financial performance reflects the difficult operating environment due to the continuation of production delays across the Film and HETV industry. Importantly though, our business remains robust, utilisation rates are improving and market share has remained strong. The Board has acted to improve efficiency and implement robust cost discipline. We remain focused on protecting the strength of our balance sheet, supporting our customers, and securing long-term value for shareholders.   The first quarter of FY25 represented a slow start to the year, as production delays continued to impact the global film and HETV production pipeline. In tandem with this, customers reacted to tighter budgets and became more cost focused, taking advantage of excess capacity in our industry which continued with competitive pricing structures. This particularly impacted the core ADF and Location One businesses whilst Autotrak was naturally more resilient as it has a more diverse customer base, with projects in the construction, festival and events market.   Encouragingly, conditions began to improve during Q2, and this momentum has carried into the second half of the financial year, with utilisation levels increasing. The overall trend indicates a return to more stable operating patterns as production schedules begin to normalise, and pipelines recover. Consequently, margins have continued to improve.   Alongside this recovery, we are seeing a notable shift in customer behaviour. Production lead times are shortening, creating greater demand for agility and flexibility in service delivery. We remain well positioned to adapt to these evolving requirements, leveraging our scale and expertise to deliver solutions that balance client needs with disciplined margin protection.   The Board has declared an interim dividend of 0.3 pence per share in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "Interim Dividend"). The Interim Dividend will be paid on 30 January 2026, with a record date of 9 January 2026 and an ex-dividend date of 8 January 2026. The Board intends to pay an increased final dividend as part of its progressive dividend policy and in line with business performance in the second half.   Financial performance In response to the challenging environment, we have implemented proactive cost management measures. Around 20% of our fleet has been placed in temporary storage, delivering a meaningful reduction in maintenance costs while preserving our ability to meet existing demand.  We are exploring avenues to dispose of certain equipment whilst preserving the capacity to scale up quickly as utilisation levels continue to strengthen.   Delivering Against Growth Strategy The Group continues to focus on organic growth while driving greater integration across our businesses, with the objective of unlocking further operational synergies and delivering cost efficiencies.   ·      Autotrak, the market-leading portable roadway supplier acquired in September 2024, has performed well since acquisition and is delivering encouraging results. ·      Location One, the UK's largest TV and film location service provider, has faced similar pressures to ADF, with increased levels of competition. The team is adapting well to these market conditions, supporting clients while remaining disciplined in protecting margins.   These acquisitions have enabled the Group to provide the very best services the industry has to offer under one roof as we move closer towards becoming a One-Stop-Shop to the UK film and HETV industry. Following the initial integration of these acquisitions, plans are in place to rationalise the Group's footprint and integrate the operating businesses closer together, in order to achieve both revenue and cost synergies. In addition, we are exploring new revenue streams in order to drive organic growth.   Competitive Strength Despite heightened competitive pressure, ADF remains the leading provider of premium serviced production facilities to the UK film and HETV industry. Our One-Stop-Shop model continues to differentiate us in the market, enabling cross-selling opportunities and providing clients with a comprehensive, integrated solution.   In H1-2025, we supported 48 high-profile productions, including Rivals, The Gentleman, Silent Witness, A Good Girls Guide to Murder, and Industry. Looking ahead, the pipeline for H2 is strong, albeit with shorter production lead times than in previous years.   Our continued focus on integrating the Group's businesses and leveraging synergies position us well to respond to client needs while maintaining competitive strength.   Board and People In July 2025, Marsden Proctor, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stepped down as a director of the Company. I would like to thank him for his service as CEO and wish him every success in the future. We are actively undertaking a formal process to appoint a permanent CEO and, in the interim, I have assumed the role of  Executive Chairman. I will continue in this capacity until a permanent successor is identified, and an appropriate handover period completed.   On 29 August 2025, we announced that Neil Evans, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, has decided to step down as a Director of the Company and will leave the Group on 31 October 2025. The Board has commenced a recruitment process for a permanent replacement and in the meantime, we have recruited interim support to maintain and develop financial discipline at ADF. On 1 September 2025 James Long was promoted to the position of Group Chief Operating Officer and was appointed as a Director of the Company.    The Board is confident that the Company is being managed efficiently during this transitional period, with a highly experienced and stable senior leadership team. The Board has put in place robust governance arrangements and clear lines of responsibility to ensure the continuity of operations and strategy execution. The depth of talent across the business provides additional stability and ensures the smooth running of day-to-day operations.   I would like to thank the teams at ADF for their resilience, hard work, and commitment during a period of significant industry disruption. Their efforts have ensured that the Group remains well placed to capitalise on opportunities as conditions stabilise.   Outlook The Group's performance in Q1 continued to be impacted by industry-wide production delays, but the improvement seen in Q2 and the continuation of this trend into H2 indicates that the market is starting to recover. Cost pressures remain but with shorter lead times and procurement cycles, and with excess capacity reducing we anticipate that pricing will recover in the short and medium term. Whilst the timing and budgets for projects continue to be uncertain, the Board currently expects performance for FY25 to be in line with market expectations.   Russell Down Executive Chairman Financial performance   Summary   The financial results for the 6 months ended 30 June 2025 reflect an ongoing challenging market for the Film and HETV industry, however activity levels are beginning to normalise following several years of unrest with Covid, industry strikes and the general economic outlook. The results for the 6 months to 30 June 2025 are set out below:   Group P&L (thousands) H1-FY25 H1-FY24 H2-FY24  Revenue         CAD Services 10,792 11,548 13,385   Location One 3,126 3,638 4,073   Autotrak 3,450 0 2,558   17,368 15,186 20,016  Cost of sales (11,634) (9,825) (12,510)  Gross profit 5,734 5,361 7,506  Gross margin 33.0% 35.3% 37.5%  Admin expenses (3,550) (2,822) (2,888)  Adj.

Revenues for the period reflected the slow start to the year in Q1 with some delays in production start dates carried over from Q4-FY24.   Revenues in Q1-FY25 were slightly ahead of Q1-FY24. Like for like sales for the core businesses, CAD Services Limited and Location One Limited, were down 16%. Revenues in Q2-FY25, including Autotrak (which was acquired in September 2024), were 24% ahead of the same period in FY24. Revenues in Q2-FY25 in CAD Services Limited were up 2%, and Location One Limited were down 14%.   Sales FY25 Q1 Q2 CAD £4,551 £6,241 Autotrak £1,340 £2,109 Location One £1,348 £1,779   £7,239 £10,129       Sales FY24 Q1 Q2 CAD £5,442 £6,106 Autotrak £0 £0 Location One £1,564 £2,074   £7,006 £8,180       Gross margins reduced from 35.3% in H1-24 to 33.0% in H1-25 as a result of the competitive pressure on rental rates, together with rising costs including the increase in employers national insurance rates in April 2025. In addition, following the increase in the National Living Wage in April 2025, we increased rates of pay for our Base staff, to ensure pay rates remained competitive and to improve retention. The senior management team continued to monitor costs closely through the period and limited non-essential expenses to ensure overheads remained tightly controlled. Total overheads were 20.4% of revenue, up on H1-FY24 (18.6%). Depreciation and amortisation increased from £2,569K in H1-FY24 to £3,225K in H1-FY25. £525K of the increase relates to the depreciation in Autotrak. Net interest expense increased from £682K in H1-FY24 to £968K in H1-FY25. The increase is a result of additional hire purchase ("HP") interest from new HP leases across the period together with a number of new IFRS16 leases. £191K of the increase relates to notional interest on the deferred consideration relating to the Autotrak acquisition.  Interest rates on HP leases are not variable and are fixed at the date the leases are taken out. As a result of the above, the loss before tax for H2-FY24 was £2.0 million, (H1-FY24: loss of £0.8 million). There is a tax credit of £864K in H1-FY25 and hence the loss after tax is £1,123K (H1-FY24: loss of £610K). EBITDA The Group measures performance based on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be useful measures of operating performance; EBITDA approximates the underlying operating cash flow by eliminating depreciation and amortisation. Adjusted EBITDA adds back any non-recurring expenses, impairment of goodwill, gains or losses on deferred consideration, and acquisition related fees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not direct measures of our liquidity, which is shown by our cash flow statement, and need to be considered in the context of our financial commitments. Adjusted EBITDA for H1-FY25 was £2.2 million (12.6% EBITDA margin) compared to H1-FY24 at £2.5 million (16.7% EBITDA margin). A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is shown below:   Adjusted EBITDA £000's H1-FY25 H1-FY24 H2-FY24 Revenue 17,368 15,186 20,016 Loss before tax (1,987) (796) (2,042) Add back:   Finance expenses 968 682 819 Depreciation and amortisation 3,225 2,569 2,934 Impairment of goodwill - - 2,449 Gain on deferred consideration - - (60) Other non-recurring expenses 40 - 493 Share based payments (62) 84 25 Adjusted EBITDA 2,184 2,539 4,618 Adjusted EBITDA % 12.6% 16.7% 23.1%   Revenue The table below shows the revenue analysed between the two main facilities categories, being main packages (pre-agreed before filming) and additional sales (agreed during the course of filming), plus other miscellaneous sales. Revenue for Location One and Autotrak is shown separately.   Turnover £000's H1-FY25 H1-FY24 % Change H2-FY24 Facilities - Main packages £6,965 £7,494 -7% £9,064 Facilities - Additional sales £3,813 £4,016 -5% £4,315 Facilities - Other income £14 £38 -62% £7 Facilities - Total £10,792 £11,548 -7% £13,385 Location Equipment hire (Location One) £3,127 £3,638 -14% £4,073 Ground Protection hire (Autotrak) £3,449 £0 0% £2,558 Total Revenue £17,368 £15,186 14% £20,016 Uplift on main packages % (see explanation below) 55% 54%   48%   Uplift % is an important metric being the increase in total facilities sales from the initial main packages. This improved slightly in H1-FY25 to 55% from 54% in the same period last year.   Revenue Mix ADF worked on 48 productions in H1-FY25, compared to 38 in the same period in FY24. The average value of productions in H1-FY25 was £225K compared to £304K in the same period in FY24 with the mix of different productions undertaken over the period. The split of productions across the revenue bands is shown below:   CAD Services - Production value H1-FY25 H1-FY24 H2-FY24 £0 - £500k 36 31 50 £500k - £1.0m 8 5 - £1.0m - £1.5m 3 1 - £1.5m - £2.0m - - - £2.0m - £2.5m 1 1 - £2.5m - £3.0m - - - 48 38 50   Other Sales Information H1-FY25 H1-FY24 H2-FY24 Average revenue per production £000s £225 £304 £268 Total Productions in the UK 148 165 207 Market share - based on no. of productions 32% 23% 24%   Operational Metrics With the slow start to the year and competitive market, a decision was made to decommission a proportion of the vehicle and trailer fleet and place into temporary storage. 154 assets in the core ADF fleet were decommissioned to reduce maintenance and compliance costs. This programme was completed in May 2025 and remains under review in order to ensure that we retain the optimal fleet size to maximise both financial and operational performance.   Utilisation rates over H1-FY25 reflected the slower market; utilisation rates in Q1 were 34%, increasing to 47% in Q2 (excluding the decommissioned fleet). Utilisation rates have improved since the period end and are expected to increase over the remainer of FY25.   Share Based Payments & Non-Recurring Expenses Share-based payments in H1-FY25 related to options granted to certain executive directors in Facilities by ADF Plc and Location One Limited in April 2024. The charge for the period has been adjusted to reflect the lower probability of performance targets being met. During FY25 a number of Board changes have been made. The associated costs associated along with the related recruitment fees will be treated as non-recurring costs.   Dividend & Earnings Per Share On 2 June 2025, th e Board recommended a Final Dividend of 0.5 pence per Ordinary Share. (FY24 Interim Dividend: 0.5 pence per Ordinary Share). The total dividend for the year ended 31 December 2024 was 1.0 pence per Ordinary Share. The final dividend was paid on 13 August 2025 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 25 July 2025.   The Board has declared an interim dividend of 0.3 pence per share in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "Interim Dividend") which amounts to £323,468. The Interim Dividend will be paid on 30 January 2026, with a record date of 9 January 2026 and an ex-dividend date of 8 January 2026.   Capital Expenditure During H1-FY25, ADF acquired new equipment with a cost of £2.8 million of which £2.3 million related to Autotrak, who acquired a further 2,000 aluminium panels, increasing their overall capacity by 12%. These panels were financed using ADF's hire purchase facility with HSBC, the Company's banking partner. Other capex was limited to essential maintenance spend only.   Capital expenditure for the remainder of 2025 is expected to be very limited, the only significant addition being a fully developed prototype of an Executive Single Artiste Trailer ("ESAT") for the top end of the feature film market.   ADF held 33 units in the Assets Under Construction heading on the balance sheet at the end of H1-FY25. For operational reasons, these have not been put into service yet. The value of these units at the period-end was £3.2 million. These are fully paid for and will transfer to fixed assets as they complete their fit-out stage in FY25.   Cash Flow, Funding & Net Debt   The difficult operating environment in H1-FY25 impacted on cash flow, necessitating financial discipline and a focused approach to cash management.   Net debt, excluding IFRS 16 leases at the end of H1-FY25 reduced to £13.2 million (FY-24 year-end: £13.8 million). Hire purchase liabilities reduced from £16.1 million at the end of FY24 to £14.6 million at the end of H2-FY25, and cash balances reduced from £2.3 million to £1.4 million.     Neil Evans FCA Chief Financial Officer   FACILITIES BY ADF PLC UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2025          Note   Six months ended 30 June 2025 (unaudited) £'000   Six months ended 30 June 2024 (unaudited) £'000     Revenue 3 17,368 15,186 Cost of sales 4 (11,634) (9,825) Gross profit 5,734 5,361 Administrative expenses (6,775) (5,391) Non-recurring expenses 5 (40) -

The registered number is 13761460 and the registered address is Ground Floor, 31 Oldfield Road, Bocam Park, Pencoed, Bridgend, United Kingdom, CF35 5LJ. The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") continues to be the supply of equipment for television and film productions. 2       Summary of significant accounting policies   2.1       Basis of preparation   The unaudited interim financial information presents the financial results of the Group for the six-month period to 30 June 2025. This financial information has been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and are presented on a condensed basis. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (£'000) except where otherwise indicated.   The financial information presented in this interim financial report for the period ended 30 June 2025 does not constitute statutory accounts, within the meaning of section 434 of Companies Act 2006. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements.   The Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditor's Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statement ended 31 December 2024 was Unqualified.   2.2       Accounting policies   The accounting policies are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024, which are filed with the Registrar of Companies.   2.3       Going concern   The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a 12-month period from the date of approval of these interim financial statements and such forecasts have indicated that sufficient funds should be available to enable the Group to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment.   Furthermore, the Directors have considered the ongoing impact of the current macro-economic factors on the Group's forecast cashflows and liabilities, concluding that these have no material impact on the Group due to the nature of its long-term operations.   The Directors are continuing to focus on the continuation of the organic growth experienced in recent years. The Company acquired a new a business in the financial period ending 31 December 2024 and significant synergies are expected to continue to be achieved over the coming 12 months.   The current sales pipeline at the time of writing appears robust with visibility of returning seasons of some of the Group's biggest productions. In addition, Management agreed an extended overdraft facility of £1 million effective from 15 th April 2025 to providing additional working capital as the business ramped up for the summer season.   2.4       Critical accounting judgements and estimates The preparation of the interim financial information requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement and use assumptions in applying the Group's accounting policies. The resulting accounting estimates calculated using these judgements and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results but are based on historical experience and expectations of future events. Management believe that the estimates utilised in preparing the interim financial information are reasonable and prudent. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the interim financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024 which are filed with the Registrar of Companies .   3       Revenue from contracts with customers   All of the Group's revenue was generated from the provision of equipment and services in the UK in the period ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024. 5 customers make up 10% or more of revenue in the period ending 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: 3 ).
