Dominic Burke, Chairman of Newbury Racecourse plc commented:
"Trading for the first half of 2023 was as expected, despite
raceday attendances falling below 2022 levels at the half-year.
Compared with last year, our revenues have been stronger but rising
costs and our commitment to prize money increases have had an
impact on our profitability as anticipated. We have also made good
progress on our strategic investments, improving the experience for
our racegoers, increasing the capacity of our very successful day
care nursery and improving our irrigation infrastructure."
"With the headwinds facing the racing industry the remainder of
the year will be challenging but we remain even more confident in
the long-term prospects of the Company, given the full effect of
the new media rights agreement from 1 January next year, along with
the being able to host eleven BHA Premier fixtures during
2024."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Total turnover increased by 3% compared to the same period in
2022 to GBP8.03m. Overall operating loss for the six months to 30
June 2023 was GBP0.65m (2022: profit of GBP0.14m). The losses
before tax for the period were GBP0.57m (2022: Profit of
GBP0.22m)
Trading for the first half of the year was as expected, despite
reported raceday attendances being 19% down on 2022. We are
starting to see the benefit of our new Media Rights agreement
which, for retail, was effective from 1(st) April. We saw an uplift
in revenue from the two races on Lockinge Day which were included
in the World Pool betting pool. Our cost base has been affected, as
expected, by the impact of high inflation, business rates returning
to normal levels following the end of government COVID support in
2022 as well as an increase in utility costs. The cost base has
also increased due to our stated commitment to increase prize
money. Earlier this year we announced that prize money for 2023
would increase year-on-year by 16% to GBP6.06m and the executive
contribution would increase by 26% to GBP3.1m. Our non-racing
businesses continue to be of significant focus as we seek to
broaden our trading activities. The Lodge Hotel, The Rocking Horse
Nursery and our Conference & Events businesses are all
generating revenue ahead of last year.
Despite losing our January fixture to the weather, we have
played host to some top class racing this year, demonstrating our
continued ability to attract the very best horses across both
codes. Highlights to date have included wins in the February
Betfair Hurdle for Aucunrisque, Zanza in the Betfair Denman Chase
and for Funambule Sivola in the Betfair Game Spirit Chase. The
start of the 2023 flat season came during April, with Remarquee,
Grand Alliance and Isaac Shelby winning the main races in the Dubai
Duty Free Spring Trials. This was followed in May with Al Shaqab
Lockinge Stakes which was won by Modern Games.
Beyond this set of results, the July Weatherby's Super Sprint
Day featured our first Party in the Paddock event of the year with
Tom Jones returning to the racecourse and performing to an excited,
but damp, crowd after a very wet day's racing. This event saw the
highest attendance at the racecourse in almost four years. The
feature race of the day attracted twenty runners and was won by
Relief Rally ridden by Tom Marquand. Our second Party in the
Paddock took place at August's BetVictor Hungerford Day where the
BetVictor Hungerford Stakes was won by Witch Hunter ridden by Sean
Levey. The day's racing being followed by a vibrant performance by
Olly Murs. Up to the end of August declared attendances were back
in line with 2022.
Meanwhile we now look ahead to the final fixtures of the Autumn
Flat programme. The Dubai Duty Free International Weekend in
September will be followed by our Oktoberfest themed event during
October's weekend racing. Attention will then turn to the National
Hunt season in November with both the Winter Carnival weekend and
Gold Cup race into their second year of Coral sponsorship. The year
will then draw to a close on the 30th of December with the popular
festive gathering of the Challow Hurdle.
We look forward to welcoming all those associated with the
racecourse to these fixtures and our other business activities for
the remainder of 2023.
Looking ahead to 2024, the racecourse has been successful in
securing Premier status for eleven of our twenty-eight fixtures, as
well as securing an additional three BHA allocated fixtures. This
will enable us to further increase prize money and ensure our
racing remains attractive and competitive. Additionally, we will
see the full year benefit of the Media Rights agreement from 1(st)
January 2024 and are in discussions to host the Lockinge Day again
as a Worldpool fixture.
On a separate note, it was announced recently that our Chief
Executive for the past ten years, Julian Thick, would be leaving
the business in early 2024. On behalf of the board, I would like to
take this opportunity to thank Julian for his significant
contribution to the company. He leaves the racecourse with the
redevelopment completed, the company in a strong financial position
with no debt and with a world class racing and events facility upon
which the company can build for many years to come.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
Performance Review
Turnover increased by 3% to GBP8.03m (2022: GBP7.81m) in the
first half of the year. Gross profit decreased to GBP0.8m (2022:
GBP1.55m) reflecting the increase in the cost base due to
inflation, utilities, business rates and additional prize money.
However Administrative expenses saw a marginal increase at GBP1.45m
(2022: GBP1.41m)
Mid-year operating losses of GBP0.65m (2022: Profit of GBP0.14m)
were in line with expectations, given the anticipated cost
increases.
Exceptional items in the first six months of 2023 were nil
(2022: credit of GBP0.03m) being the fair value movement on the
David Wilson Homes debtor, which has now fully unwound given the
debt is fully paid.
The pre-tax loss on ordinary activities was GBP0.57m (2022:
profit of GBP0.22m).
Racing
The racecourse has hosted thirteen racedays to 30(th) June 2023,
with the January fixture abandoned due to the weather. This
compares to fourteen staged during the same period in 2022.
Declared attendances in the first six months were 43,015, compared
with 55,133 for the same period in 2022.
Total media related revenues of GBP2.85m, were up 7% on the same
period in 2022, partly as a consequence of the new Media Rights
agreement taking effect for retail from 1(st) April as well as the
Worldpool pool betting arrangement on Lockinge Day.
We are grateful to have received continued significant support
from all of our sponsors, with particular thanks to Al Shaqab,
Betfair, BetVictor, Starlight Children's Foundation, Compton
Beauchamp Estates, Goffs, Watership Down Stud and Dubai Duty Free
for their committed investment in the first half of the year.
Catering, Hospitality and Conference & Events
The partnership agreement with Levy Restaurants (part of Compass
Group) which commenced in June 2021, is now into its second full
financial trading year. The reported royalty income for the first
half of 2023 was GBP0.08m, compared with GBP0.16m in 2022. The
shortfall in performance due to the lower attendances as well as
the closure of the Hennessy Restaurant in early 2023 whilst it
underwent a substantial refurbishment. This investment was funded
equally with Levy and the much-improved facility re-opened in
May.
Conference & Events has performed well in 2023 as we have
relaunched this part of the business following encouraging trading
in 2022. Consequently, our revenues up to 30 June 2023 were
GBP0.13m, 10% up on 2022, resulting in an operating profit of
GBP0.07m (2022: profit of GBP0.08m).
The Lodge
The Lodge (our 36-bedroom onsite hotel) has performed well in
2023 following its relaunch in early 2022 after 22 months of
closure due to COVID. Revenue for the first half of the year was
GBP0.39m (2022: GBP0.34m) and a reported profit of GBP0.05m (2022:
GBP0.05m). Occupancy at 30(th) June 2023 was 65% (2022: 62%) with
Average Room Rate up 15% year-on-year.
Rocking Horse Nursery
The Rocking Horse Nursery has continued to trade strongly this
year. Revenues in the first six months of 2023 were GBP0.98m, up
12% on the comparative period in 2022 of GBP0.86m with this
business unit reporting an operating profit of GBP0.34m (2022:
profit of GBP0.31m). The single room extension opened in
August.

By order of the Board,

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
Six months ended 30 June 2023
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Newbury Racecourse PLC (the "Company") is a public company
incorporated, domiciled and registered in England in the UK. The
registered number is 00080774 and the registered address is The
Racecourse, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 7NZ.
These Group and parent company financial statements were
prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland ("FRS 102").
These interim financial statements do not include all of the
notes and disclosures required to comply with FRS102, as they have
been prepared in accordance with the content, recognition and
measurement principles for interim financial reports, Financial
Reporting Standard 104 (FRS 104).
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
June 2023 do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning
of S434 of the Companies Act 2006. The auditor's report on the
accounts of Newbury Racecourse plc for the 12 months to 31 December
2022 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way
of emphasis and did not contain any statement under S498 (2) or (3)
of the Companies Act 2006 and has been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group's most
recent annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2022 and those expected to be applied for the year ending 31
December 2023.
3. ESTIMATES
When preparing the Interim Financial Statements, management
undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about
recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements,
estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal
the estimated results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Interim
Financial Statements, including the key sources of estimation
uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group's last
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The only exceptions are the estimate of income tax liabilities
which is determined in the Interim Financial Statements using the
estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the
pre-tax income of the interim period.
4. GOING CONCERN
The Board has undertaken a full, thorough and continual review
of the Group's forecasts and associated risks and sensitivities,
over the next twelve months. The extent of this review reflects the
current economic climate as well as the specific financial
circumstances of the Group.
The Board identified that the Group's cash flow forecasts are
sensitive to fluctuating revenue streams from ticket sales,
corporate hospitality, conference and event income. A system of
regular reviews of the forecasted business has been implemented to
ensure all variable costs are flexed to match anticipated revenues.
In addition, a number of race meetings have been insured for
adverse weather conditions (and other factors such as animal
disease and national mourning), reducing the levels of risk carried
by the Group.
The Board has reviewed the cash flow and working capital
requirements in detail. Following this review, the Board has
concluded that it has reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources in place to continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future and has not identified a material
uncertainty in this regard. On this basis the going concern basis
has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
Six months ended 30 June 2023
5. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Services rendered, raceday income including admissions, catering
revenues, sponsorship and licence fee income is recognised on the
relevant raceday. Annual membership income and box rental is
recognised over the period to which they relate.
Other income streams are also recognised over the period to
which they relate, for example, conference income is recognised on
the day of the conference, the Lodge hotel income is recognised
over the duration of the guests stay and nursery income is
recognised as the child attends the nursery.
Sale of goods revenue is recognised for the sale of food and
liquor when the transaction occurs.
6. PROPERTY RECEIPTS
Property receipts are recognised in accordance with the nature
of the transaction being that of an exceptional sale of land. The
minimum guaranteed sum, as set out in the agreement with David
Wilson Homes, is recognised at the point of sale. In accordance
with FRS102, at each reporting date, the sum receivable is
re-estimated based upon currently projected land value with the
difference between this value and the discounted net present value
recorded in the profit and loss account.

9. TAXATION
The tax has been computed in accordance with FRS 104 Interim
Financial Reporting. This requires the company to apply the
estimated annual effective tax rate to the loss for the interim
period and recognise a tax credit only to the extent that the
resulting tax asset is more likely than not to reverse.
10. PROFIT PER SHARE
Basic and diluted loss per share of 15.47p (2022 profit per
share: 3.23p) is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to
ordinary shareholders for the period ended 30 June 2023 of
GBP518,000 (2022: profit of GBP108,000) by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares during the period of 3,348,326 (2022:
3,348,326).

In 1959 a revaluation of part of the freehold land at GBP117,864
gave rise to an excess of GBP75,486 over its cost and this
sum is included in the total value of this asset. The excess
on revaluation is credited to the Revaluation Reserve. The
net book value of freehold land and buildings (and excluding
outdoor fixtures) determined by the historical cost convention
is GBP36,994,000 (2022: GBP36,051,000).
In 2018 the board revisited the residual values and useful
economic lives of the land enhancements and major buildings
on the site. Savills were instructed to provide an estimate
of the residual values and these were applied in re estimating
the depreciation charge for those assets. There was no further
change in the residual values or useful economic lives during
2023.

14. RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
The defined benefit obligation as at 30 June 2023 has been
determined with reference to the figures recorded at 31 December
2022, which were calculated in accordance with FRS102 s.28. In the
Directors' opinion there have not been any significant fluctuations
in the key assumptions. The movement in the defined benefit deficit
relates to the top-up payment made during the period ended 30 June
2023 of GBP0.07m, net of interest charges accrued and the
restriction on recognition of scheme assets.
15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There are no significant changes to the nature and treatment of
related party transactions for the period to those reported in the
2022 Annual Report and Accounts.
