Operational Highlights
-- Restaurants across UK closed by UK Government for dine-in
customers from 23 March 2020 to 4 July 2020
-- Delivery and takeaway operations partially mitigated losses in the first quarter
-- Opened 1 new Franco Manca pizzeria on The Cut, Waterloo, London
-- Post the period end:
o 1 further Franco Manca (to 53 operated) opened located at
Borough Market, London
o 1 further The Real Greek (to 19 operated) opened in The
Lexicon, Bracknell
o Restaurants in England closed by UK Government for dine in
customers from 5 November 2020 to 2 December 2020
o As at 17 December 2020, the Group had net debt (excluding
lease liabilities) of GBP3.7m with undrawn debt facility of
GBP11.5m out of total facilities of GBP25.75m
David Page, Chairman of Fulham Shore, said:
"We are pleased to have delivered a creditable performance
during the first half of the current financial year despite all
Franco Manca and The Real Greek restaurants being closed to dine-in
customers for more than half the period. The Group generated
positive Headline EBITDA during the second quarter (July to
September) reflecting the popularity of our businesses and their
great value proposition.
This performance was driven by the ability of our teams at both
Franco Manca and The Real Greek to adapt quickly to the continuing
changes implemented by the UK Government in their response to
COVID-19. We continue to explore new opportunities and are
encouraged by the positive customer response to our recently
launched Franco Manca and The Real Greek "Meal at Home" kits and
new e-gift cards, both of which were launched during the November
lockdown.
The ongoing damage to the property and restaurant sectors will
allow us to prospect for new sites at much reduced rents and lower
capital costs per site. As such, over the next few years and once
normal trading conditions return, we will target a higher return on
capital than we have historically achieved.
Following the period end, on 5 November 2020 most of our
restaurants closed again to dine-in customers following the UK
Government's second national lockdown. These restaurants were then
permitted to re-open on 2 December 2020 to dine-in customers, with
certain restrictions. However, as at the date of this report and
from 16 December 2020, the majority of our estate is once again
closed to dine-in customers as London entered Tier 3 restrictions,
while Surrey and Berkshire will enter Tier 3 restrictions from 19
December 2020. The situation is fluid and changes frequently and
with little notice.
Despite the near-term uncertainty, the Board remains confident
in the long-term strength of the Group and believes it is well
positioned to both deliver strategic growth and capitalise on
opportunities as a sense of normality resumes."

Notes for editors
Information on The Fulham Shore PLC
Fulham Shore was incorporated in March 2012. The Directors
believed that there were attractive investment opportunities within
the restaurant sector in the UK and that, given their collective
experience in the restaurant sector, they could take advantage of
the opportunities which existed.
The ordinary shares of the Company were admitted to trading on
AIM in October 2014 in order to capitalise on such opportunities
and to give the company's employees, customers and public the
ability to share in the enterprise.
Today, Fulham Shore owns and operates "The Real Greek" (
www.therealgreek.com ) and "Franco Manca" ( www.francomanca.co.uk )
restaurants.
The Real Greek
Since its foundation in London in 1999, The Real Greek business
has grown steadily, now offering modern Greek cuisine in 19
restaurants across London and Southern England.
The Real Greek food centres on the delicious, healthy diet of
the Eastern Mediterranean, staying true to the Greek ethos of food,
family and friends. Dishes are created using premium ingredients
sourced from Greece and Cyprus whenever possible, and developed by
Tonia Buxton, the face of Greek food in the UK.
The Real Greek's menu and atmosphere retain the spirit of eating
in Greece, encouraging diners to take their time eating amongst
friends and family, be it a relaxed dinner, family get-together, or
a fully catered party.
Franco Manca
Franco Manca opened its first restaurant in 2008 and now has 53
restaurants, primarily in London, but also with restaurants across
the UK (e.g. Edinburgh, Manchester, Leeds, Cambridge, Birmingham,
Brighton, Bristol and Exeter). Franco Manca also has a franchised
pizzeria on the island of Salina in Italy.
Franco Manca's pizza is made from slow-rising sourdough and is
baked in an oven that produces high heat. The slow levitation and
blast cooking process lock in the flour's natural aroma and
moisture, giving a soft and easily digestible crust. Where
possible, locally sourced and organic ingredients are used. Pizza
prices start from GBP5.20.
Franco Manca has received the following accolades:
- Winner of the Casual Dining Best Family Dining Experience Award 2020
- Winner of the R200 Best Value Restaurant Operator- Over 20 Sites Award 2019 and 2017
- Winner of the CGA Peach Hero and Icon Awards Best Concept award 2016
Chairman's statement
Introduction
I am pleased to announce the unaudited interim results for the
six months ended 27 September 2020 (the "Half Year") for Fulham
Shore.
The Group has had an eventful first half of the financial
year.
During the Half Year, revenue decreased by 44.9% to GBP19.9m
(2019: GBP36.0m) as the Group's restaurants closed completely for a
month during lockdown and subsequently only traded in a limited
number of locations through takeaway and delivery services.
Trading performance
Headline EBITDA* decreased to GBP3.7m (2019: GBP8.4m). Our
Headline EBITDA** for the Half Year under IAS 17 rather than IFRS
16 would have been GBP0.0m (2019: GBP5.0m). During the Half Year,
we opened 1 new restaurant (2019: 7) in The Cut, Waterloo, London,
leading to pre-opening costs of GBP0.1m (2019: GBP0.5m). As a
result of the ongoing financial difficulties at Debenhams, we have
prudently recognised an impairment charge of GBP0.5m (2019: GBPNil)
against property, plant and equipment of the one remaining Franco
Manca located as a concession within a Debenhams store.
Strategic progress
In light of the global pandemic, we are pleased to have
delivered a creditable performance during the first half of the
current financial year. Our second quarter (July to September)
generated Headline EBITDA mitigating much of the losses made in the
first quarter, when our restaurants were either fully closed or
closed to dine-in customers.
This performance and recovery were driven by the ability of our
teams at both Franco Manca and The Real Greek to adapt quickly to
the continuing instructions directed towards us by the UK
Government in their response to COVID-19. We continue to explore
new opportunities and are encouraged by the positive customer
response to our recently launched Franco Manca and The Real Greek
"Meal at Home" kits and new e-gift cards, both of which were
launched during the November lockdown.
The safety of all customers and staff has been our top priority
since the onset of COVID-19, and to that end we have invested
heavily in PPE, screens, outside seating areas and other public
safety procedures, which we believe our customers have appreciated.
Whenever allowed to by the UK Government, our customers have
returned to us in great numbers, demonstrating the strength of our
brand and loyalty of our expanding customer base.
We have, during the Half Year, benefited from certain UK
Government support schemes including, amongst others, the
Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ("CJRS"), Coronavirus Large
Business Interruption Loan Scheme ("CLBILS"), VAT deferral,
hospitality business rates relief at applicable locations and the
Eat Out to Help Out Scheme.
Cash flow
During the period, the Group generated positive cash inflow from
operating activities of GBP6.3m (2019: GBP9.4m).
The Group reduced its capital expenditure during the national
lockdown, investing GBP0.6m (2019: GBP4.6m), the majority of which
was utilised for one new restaurant opening.
During the Half Year, the Group increased its banking facilities
with HSBC by agreeing a GBP10.75m additional facility issued under
the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme. Fulham
Shore further raised GBP2.25m (before expenses) from the issue of
36,000,000 new ordinary shares. These new funds, together with the
new banking facilities, have given the Group substantial headroom
over its net debt at a time of uncertainty of the ongoing impact
from COVID-19.
Overall, net cash inflow for the period was a positive GBP13.0m
(2019: net cash inflow of: GBP0.1m) due primarily to the drawdown
of new bank loan facilities and the proceeds of the equity
fundraise in August 2020. As at 27 September 2020, Group net debt
(excluding lease liabilities recognised under IFRS 16) was GBP3.3m
(2019: GBP8.8m), down from GBP9.5m as at 29 March 2020.
Dividends
No dividends are being proposed by the Board in line with its
policy that, subject to the availability of distributable reserves,
dividends will be paid to shareholders when the Directors believe
it is appropriate and prudent to do so.
Current trading and outlook
Following the Half Year, on 5 November 2020 most of our
restaurants closed again to dine-in customers following the UK
Government's second national lockdown, although takeaway and
delivery services continued in most of our restaurants. Most of our
restaurants were then permitted to re-open on 2 December 2020 to
dine-in customers, with certain restrictions. However, as at the
date of this report and from 16 December 2020, the majority of our
estate is once again closed to dine-in customers as London entered
Tier 3 restrictions, while Surrey and Berkshire will enter Tier 3
restrictions from 19 December 2020. The situation is fluid and
changes frequently and with little notice.
In Tier 3, we are continuing to offer delivery and takeaway
services in the majority of our affected restaurants. From
tomorrow, Fulham Shore will have: Tier 3 - 58 restaurants (of which
7 are temporarily fully closed); Tier 2 (or equivalent) - 12
restaurants; Tier 1 - 0 restaurants; and closed possibly until
Spring 2021 - 2 restaurants.
As at 17 December 2020, the Group had net debt (excluding lease
liabilities) of GBP3.7m with undrawn debt facility of GBP11.5m
(increased from GBP7.5m as at 27 September 2020) out of total
facilities of GBP25.75m. Our post Half Year trading, despite a
second lockdown, and our significant debt headroom continue to
demonstrate the Group's ability to emerge from this period as a
successful survivor in an albeit reduced UK restaurant sector.
Since the end of the Half Year, we have taken advantage of the
current property market and opened two new restaurants: a Franco
Manca next to Borough Market, London, and a further The Real Greek
in the Lexicon shopping centre in Bracknell, Berkshire.
This brings the current group total to 72 restaurants in the UK,
comprising 53 Franco Manca (49 currently trading) and 19 The Real
Greek (14 currently trading). We hope to reopen 7 of our
restaurants when Central London comes out of Tier 3 restrictions
and our Franco Manca in Aldwych and The Real Greek on the Strand as
footfall in the London's West End improves in the new year.
The ongoing damage to the property and restaurant sectors will
allow us to prospect for new sites at much reduced rents and with
lower capital costs per site. The two restaurants we have recently
opened cost us less than half of the typical outlay of a year
ago.
As such, over the next few years and once normal trading
conditions return, we will target a higher return on capital than
we have historically achieved.
We are close to agreeing terms on further sites due to open in
calendar year 2021 in London and around the UK for both of our
businesses, and look forward to welcoming new customers through our
doors when we are able to do so.
Despite the near-term uncertainty, the Board remains confident
in the long-term strength of the Group and believes it is
well-positioned to both deliver strategic growth and capitalise on
opportunities as a sense of normality resumes.

In addition to the revenues generated from external customers,
The Real Greek segment also generated internal revenues from
another segment to the value of GBP643,000 (2019:
GBP1,250.000).
Head office and PLC costs are not related to the Group's two
business segments and are therefore included in other unallocated
and are not part of a business segment.
The Group's two business segments primarily operate in one
geographical area which is the United Kingdom.
*Headline EBITDA is a key measure for the Group as well as
industry analysts as it is indicative of ongoing EBITDA generation
of the businesses. Headline 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, temporary closure costs and
associated grants received relating to COVID-19, restructuring
costs, costs of reverse acquisition, cost of acquisition and loss
on disposal of property, plant and equipment.
