Encouraging forward bookings, capitalising on accelerating independent supply contraction although
limited visibility for H2
Restaurants trading behind pre-COVID levels but improving trends
German market recovering slower than UK but Premier Inn trading is encouraging. Built a significant
business of 37 quality hotels in prime locations during COVID, which are now starting to trade as the
market recovers
Expect to largely offset higher cost inflation through efficiencies, estate growth and higher price
Cost efficiency programme extended and increased, now £140m by FY25
Proposed final dividend of 34.7p per share resulting in £70m payable, reflecting confidence in outlook
