The AIM-listed cinema chain opened a three-screen venue in Horsham and a four-screen venue in Newcastle during the 26 weeks ended 4 July, meaning that it now operates 28 cinemas.
Everyman remains on track to open five more new venues in 2019 and has legal commitments to open a further nine sites through 2020 and 2021, with more in advanced stages of negotiation after contracts were recently exchanged for a new venue in Egham, Surrey.
"The group has performed in line with expectations in the first 26 weeks of 2019 and the board is confident of a successful outcome for the full year. The group intends to publish its interim results for the 26 weeks ended 4 July 2019 on 24 September 2019," the company said in a statement.
