Trading update





The Mission Marketing Group plc ('the missiontm', AIM: TMMG), the national marketing communications and advertising group, today issued the following trading update ahead of its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2014, to be announced in September.



Trading for the first half of 2014 has been in line with management's expectations, with revenue and profit both expected to be ahead of the equivalent period last year. The group's net debt fell from £10.7m at 31 December 2013 to less than £8m as a result of strong cash flow which is typically experienced in the first half of the year, and the group's leverage ratio (ratio of net debt to EBITDA) continued its downward trend, falling below x1.25 at 30 June 2014, thereby triggering a further reduction in interest rates.



The group's recent ventures (April-Six's new San Francisco office, the acquisition of specialist medical Agency Solaris and, most recently, our establishment of a Singapore office) are all developing nicely, and we continue to explore opportunities to further extend our range and reach in response to Client demand. Our results for the year to 31 December 2014 are again expected to have a bias towards the second half and the Board remains confident of further progress for the full year.

Chief Executive of April-Six, Fiona Shepherd, said: "We have already developed April-Six into a leading global technology Agency and we are excited about the opportunity to offer Proof's outstanding PR capabilities to our Clients. It is our ambition that by combining our sector specialisms together, we will develop a genuinely new and unique offering in the science and technology space."



Richard Moss, one of the co-founders of Proof, added: "Over the last decade, we have grown Proof into one of the most respected science, engineering and technology communication companies in Europe; helping Clients clearly communicate complex subjects and issues to the people they need to influence. By combining Proof's PR services with April-Six's exceptional capabilities in technology marketing, we can meet the growing demand from technical organisations for more innovative and integrated communication programmes. This acquisition creates a significant opportunity for Proof, April Six, and the UK's science, engineering and technology community."



Application has been made for these 115,347 new Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company, to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is expected to be effective from 8.00 am on 8 August 2014.

Trading update and director change



The Mission Marketing Group plc ('the missiontm', AIM: TMMG), the marketing communications and advertising group, today issues the following trading update ahead of its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015, due to be announced on 24 September.



Revenue and profit for the first half of 2015 are expected to show double digit growth over the equivalent period last year, benefiting from both organic growth and the acquisitions made in the second half of last year. The group's net debt fell from £9.4m at 31 December 2014 to £8.3m at 30 June 2015, and the group's leverage ratios (the ratios of net bank debt and total debt to EBITDA) remain comfortably within the limits set by the Board for these key performance indicators.

The group has made five acquisitions over the last twelve months, merged two of its existing Integrated Generalist Agencies and launched a new Specialist Agency from scratch. It has been a busy time and our recent focus has been on bedding these new businesses into the group. Looking to the future, we will seek to exploit the opportunities for further growth these new businesses bring and in addition we will continue to explore opportunities to extend our range and reach further in response to Client demand.

Our results for the year to 31 December 2015 are again expected to have a bias towards the second half and the Board remains confident of meeting market expectations for the full year.


the missiontm also announces Stephen Boyd's intention to step down from the board at the end of the year.



Stephen, who joined the board in December 2009 as a non-executive director, has a number of business interests beyond the missiontm and has decided to concentrate on these after having served the Company for six years.



David Morgan, Group Chairman, commented: "Stephen joined us in very different times and was instrumental in steering the Company through its refinancing in 2010. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his valuable contribution to the board over the years and we wish him well for the future."
