A Solid Platform for Future Growth "The Group is now in a much stronger position following a difficult 2017. The new management team has been successful in stabilising the traditional business during the first half of the year, and the recent spate of new Broadway musicals won by SpotCo is highly encouraging. Importantly, we have also made good progress with the strategy of utilising the Group’s skill set and deploying them into new segments, evidenced by work across the Group with non- live entertainment clients.” Marc Boyan, CEO “The launch of Dewynters Amsterdam, Wake the Bear and Story House has further broadened the Group’s client offering, creating new and more diversified revenue streams. With r4e’s existing operations continuing to demonstrate solid progress, combined with the Group’s strategy to expand into further sectors and territories, the Board is confident that the Group will make additional progress through the remainder of 2018 to establish a solid platform for future growth.” Lord Michael Grade, Non-Executive Chair 14
