JD WETHERSPOON PLC

PRE-CLOSE STATEMENT

JD Wetherspoon plc ("JD Wetherspoon" or the "Company") announces its pre-close statement prior to the end of the current financial year on 24(th) July 2011.

Current Trading

For the 11 weeks to 10th July 2011, like-for-like sales increased by 1.6%. Total Company sales over the same period increased by 7.1%. In the financial year-to-date (50 weeks to 10th July 2011), like-for-like sales increased by 2.2% and overall Company sales increased by 7.5%.

We currently anticipate reporting an operating margin (before exceptionals) for the second half of this financial year of approximately 9.5%.

Property

The financial year-to-date has seen 38 openings and 2 disposals. We anticipate opening approximately 50 pubs in the current financial year.

Financial position

There have been no significant changes in the Company's overall financial position since the IMS statement update on the 4 May 2011.

Outlook

As previously stated, the company, in common with many businesses, continues to be faced with rising costs for a wide range of goods and services, combined with a reduction in disposable income for many of its customers.

Sales and cashflow continue to be resilient and the performance of our recently opened pubs remains encouraging, which should enable the Company to produce a reasonable outcome in the current financial year.

Preliminary Results.

Interim Management Statement.

Current trading

In the first quarter (13 weeks to 23 October 2011), like-for-like sales increased by 1.1%. Total sales in the period increased by 7.3%. The operating margin was 9.3%, approximately 0.2% lower than that achieved during the last financial year.

JD Wetherspoon PLC

PRE-CLOSE STATEMENT

JD Wetherspoon plc ('JD Wetherspoon' or the 'Company'), announces an update on current trading before entering its closed period for its interim results for the six months ending 22 January 2012, which are expected to be announced on 9 March 2012.

Current trading

For the first twelve weeks of the second quarter (to 15 January 2012), like-for-like sales increased by 3.6%, compared to 1.1% growth in the first quarter (to 23 October 2011). Total sales, including new pubs, for the first twelve weeks of the second quarter increased by 9.9%, compared to 7.3% in the first quarter. In the year to date (25 weeks to 15 January 2012), like-for-like sales increased by 2.3% and total sales increased by 8.5%.

December LFL sales were strong, mainly due to adverse weather conditions last year. Sales growth for the period before and after December was approximately in line with the first quarter.

We expect the operating margin for the half year ending 22 January 2012 to be slightly below that achieved in the first quarter of this financial year, with the potential for further decline in the second half of this financial year due to continuing cost increases. We expect the Company's corporation tax rate for this financial year to be around 29%.

Property

The Company has opened 18 new pubs and closed 2 pubs since the start of this financial year. We have a number of sites under development and, in line with previous estimates, intend to open approximately 50 pubs in the current financial year.

Financial position

There have been no significant changes in the Company's overall financial position, since the publication on 6 October 2011 of the annual report and accounts for the year ended 24 July 2011.

Outlook

Our sales, profit and cash flow remain resilient. As previously stated, the main challenges for the Company, in this financial year of 53 trading weeks, will be the continuing cost pressures resulting from government legislation, including further increases to excise duty, business rates and carbon tax. In addition, as previously stated, pubs pay VAT on food, whereas supermarkets do not, and also pay far higher rates of VAT than similar businesses in Ireland and France, for example. In order to maximise job creation and taxation revenues, we believe the government needs to reduce VAT for pubs and restaurants as a priority. Notwithstanding these issues the Company is aiming for a reasonable outcome in the current financial year.

has you all no i like my beer and food and use this company alot to meet loads of friends all over the country .but over the last 12 months the PUBS have gone down the drain the staff are slow they dont understand what you say it takes time to explain what you want . and i can and have seen the migrant staff not taking the money for peoples bill by not putting them though the till . but i would never say anything as it would be racist . we are now lookling to meet in other pubs like toby and crown . i have sold my few shares as i think the pubs only now get druggies and low life .
