Trading update and notice of results

The Mission Marketing Group plc ('the mission(tm) ', or "the Group" AIM: TMMG), the marketing communications and advertising group, today issues a trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2017.

The Board is pleased to report that trading is in line with expectations and, for the first half of 2017, we again expect double digit growth in headline profit before tax.

The Group's net debt fell GBP2.0m after making acquisition consideration payments totalling GBP3.7m in the period, reflecting strong working capital inflows. Net debt was GBP9.3m at 30 June 2017 and the Group's leverage ratios (the ratios of net bank debt and total debt to EBITDA) again reduced during the six month period and remain comfortably within the limits set by the Board for these key performance indicators.

In common with recent years, we expect our results for the year to 31 December 2017 to again have a significant bias towards the second half and we look forward to further progress over the remainder of the year.

The Group expects its interim results, for the six months ended 30 June 2017, to be announced on 21 September.
