4 Chairman s statement Trading conditions have been difficult during the first six months of the year to 31 December. Given the continued market turbulence and having reviewed the revised management forecast for the second half year, the Board now holds the view that the performance for the entire year will fall short of market expectations. Despite these challenges, our fashion performance was strong, achieving like-for-like growth of 11.8%. We have recently launched a new digital platform which is expected to improve online sales in the years ahead. This improved platform incorporates enhanced functionality, superior customer interface and advanced technological capability. In line with our transformation towards a more lifestyle brand, the Group remains committed to further develop the hospitality segment of its business. With four tea rooms and a licensed hotel already in operation, we have laid the foundation for the further expansion, A number of opportunities are being evaluated, and we expect to see further openings this year. Following the termination of the Master Licence Agreement for the territory of Japan with Aeon in September, a new Master Licence Agreement was concluded with Itochu Corporation. This will ensure the continuing presence and growth of Laura Ashley in Japan. The Group is also exploring new partnership opportunities on the international front which will provide the thrust for our future growth. In the first half of this financial year, new stores were opened in India and Thailand by our franchise partners. In China, our online business continues to show growth. The Asian market will be a key focal point for the Group s international expansion, while we also explore opportunities in other regions. In our drive for international growth, we are committed to preserve the inspirational and distinctive identity of the much-loved Laura Ashley brand. Having eliminated all of our long-term debts, we are now better placed to deal with the current headwinds and to move the business forward.

6 Overview For the 26 weeks to, total Group sales were 122.9m (H1 2017: 134.7m), a fall of 8.7%. The decline in total revenue was primarily due to the closure of 4 stores during the period, a like-for-like retail sales drop of 4.2% and the termination of the master license agreement with our previous Japanese partner. Margins during the period were affected by the weak Sterling against the US Dollar, as well as an increase in domestic costs. Achieved margin rate fell by 0.3% against the same period last year. Operating expenses for the period were slightly lower at 46.5m (H1 2017: 47.1m) as a result of store optimisation. The loss of 1.5m for the first half year (H1 2017: Profit before tax: 4.3m) was attributed to lower Home Furnishings sales, revenue disruption caused by the change in our Japanese Franchise partner and the write-off of investment in an Associate Company. The impact of the Investment in Associate write-off was 1.3m, and was reported under the Exceptional Items of 1.5m. Cash Flow and Balance Sheet As at, the Group had a cash reserve of 0.1m with no debt compared to 29.2m debt recorded a year earlier. The proceeds from the disposal of the Group s Singapore property were used to retire all its long-term debts. In February 2019, the Group disposed of the Manor Hotel in Elstree for a cash consideration of 6.0m. This corporate exercise has placed the Group in a stronger financial position. The decrease in inventory to 50.1m (December 2017: 54.2m) was in line with the needs of the business. Dividend The Board is not recommending to pay an interim dividend (December 2017: 0.0 pence per share). UK Retail and E-Commerce As at, the Group operated 156 stores in the UK (June : 160), comprising 106 Mixed Product stores, 47 Home stores, 1 Concession store, 1 Gifts & Accessories store, and 1 Clearance outlet. During the reporting period, 4 stores were closed and none were opened. Two store openings are planned for the second half of the year. Total UK retail sales for the period were 117.2m (H1 2017: 122.9m). On a like-for-like basis, UK retail sales fell by 4.2%. Total e-commerce sales fell 9.7% to 24.3m (H1 2017: 26.9m). During the reporting period, the website was relaunched on a new platform with improved features to enhance customer shopping experience. We continue to trade in ten European countries from our UK website. 5 Interim Report 2019 LAURA ASHLEY HOLDINGS PLC
7 Product The Group s business is organised under four main product categories of Home Accessories, Furniture, Decorating and Fashion. For the 26 weeks ended, the contributions of sales by each category were: Home Accessories 36%, Furniture 28%, Decorating 19% and Fashion 17%. Home Accessories The Home Accessories product category includes lighting, gifts, bed linen, rugs, throws, cushions and children's accessories. Home Accessories sales for the 26 weeks to increased by 0.3% with like-for-like performance up by 1.5%. Continued like-for-like growth in this competitive category gives us confidence that our seasonal gift offerings and core home accessories products are meeting customer expectations in both design and price. Our bed linen ranges, in particular, have performed well. Furniture The Furniture product category includes upholstered and cabinet furniture, beds and mirrors. Furniture sales for the 26 weeks to decreased by 15.0% with like-forlike sales down 14.4%. New product ranges have been added for Spring 2019 and we remain confident in both the quality and breadth that this category offers to our customer base. We expect its performance to improve during Decorating This category includes fabric, curtains, wallpaper, paint and decorative accessories. Decorating sales for the 26 weeks to fell by 14.2% with like-for-like sales down by 13.5%. As a result, our design teams are in the process of reviewing the mix of our decorating product offerings based on customer feedback and research. Fashion This category includes adult fashion, girls wear, fashion accessories and perfumery. Fashion sales for the 26 weeks to 2017 increased 7.2% over the same period last year with like-for-like sales up by 11.8%. Building on the growth of last year, we are delighted that our fashion performance has maintained its momentum and continues to strengthen. Early reactions to Spring 2019 products are positive and this growth is expected to continue. Hospitality Laura Ashley, the Manor hotel, was sold in early The Group, however, is committed to developing the hospitality concept and this will be achieved through the licensing model rather than direct ownership. We now operate four licensed tea rooms and one licenced hotel., This recent venture has opened a pipeline of opportunities for the Group. 6 Interim Report 2019 LAURA ASHLEY HOLDINGS PLC
8 International Operations New franchise stores were opened in Thailand and India during the reporting period with further openings planned for Our Chinese digital platform business continues to grow and we are excited at the longterm growth opportunities the Chinese market offers. The Japanese master licence agreement with Aeon Holdings was terminated on 17 September and on 18 September, we signed a master licence agreement with Itochu Corporation. With this change of business partners, we are hopeful that the Laura Ashley brand, already much admired in Japan, will make further inroads in this country, building on a heritage of our 30 years of presence there. In December our Australian master licensee went into administration. The Group did not have an equity interest in this licensee. We are pursuing a plan to maintain our presence in Australia. We will continue to develop our international presence and explore new partnership opportunities. In the reporting period, our international operations contributed 6.7% of total Group revenue. As at there were 90 franchised stores (246 as at 2017) in 26 territories worldwide. The goal of the Group is to increase its international reach. Current Trading and Outlook Trading conditions have been difficult during the first six months of the year. Although, like-for-like sales were in line with management expectations, we expect trading conditions to remain challenging.. 7 Interim Report 2019 LAURA ASHLEY HOLDINGS PLC

10 Principal Risks and Uncertainties There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the Group's performance over the remaining six months of the financial year and beyond, and could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results.

Unforeseen financing requirements or treasury exposures Failure of central computer servers that manage points of sale, contact centre or website The risk of theft of staff, customer or corporate data.
