AGM Trading Update

 

At today's Annual General Meeting to be held at 10.30am, Pinewood Shepperton plc Chairman, Lord Grade of Yarmouth, CBE will make the following statement to shareholders:

 

"Film revenues to date reflect very high stage and facility occupancy, television continues to experience high levels of utilisation, Media Hub occupancy is currently 99% and Media Investment is progressing well.

 

"The Company continues to invest in its existing facilities to ensure that it remains a leading destination for producers of creative content. A major upgrade of our television business has been completed. The latest 45,000 sq ft television and film facility at Pinewood Studios, Q Stage, was completed on 27 September 2013. Camelot Plc, operators of the National Lottery, moved into the new Studio TV3 at Pinewood Studios under a five year contract on 9 September 2013 to broadcast the National Lottery live.

 

"On 31 May 2013, the Company submitted to the Planning Inspectorate an appeal against the refusal by South Bucks District Council (by 6 votes to 4) of planning permission for the Pinewood Studios Development Framework ("PSDF") to create additional capacity at Pinewood Studios. The Public Inquiry is scheduled to commence on 19 November 2013. We need to increase capacity at Pinewood Studios.

 

"At the time of the publication of the Company's preliminary results on 27 June 2013 for the year ended 31 March 2013, the Company reported that it has made a positive start to the new financial year. This has continued across all revenue streams.

 

"The Board looks forward to the future with confidence".
