The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Wednesday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
---------
Ten Entertainment Group PLC - ten-pin bowling operator - Swings to a pretax profit of £21.0 million from a loss of £10.8 million in the six months ended June 26. Revenue surges to £63.2 million from £10.6 million. The bowling alley operator says it is ‘delighted’ with the growth as last year it benefited significantly from exceptional sales due to UK ‘staycations’ and the initial pent-up demand from the release of Covid restrictions. Notes record-breaking February and May half-term trading in the half, as well as an ‘exceptional’ Easter. Adds the positive sales trend continued to the end of the first half despite a very hot summer when, traditionally, bowling and other indoor activities aren't favoured. Declares an interim dividend of 3.0p per share, compared to none a year prior.
