Reporting Update

Further to the announcement on 23 March 2022 Venture Life provides an update on the timing of the announcement of its results for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The Company's auditors continue to experience resourcing issues and as such have advised that additional time is required to finalise their procedures. Accordingly the Company now expects to be able to announce its audited results for the year ended 31 December in early May.

The Company reiterates its guidance stated in its trading update on 31st January 2022:

   --    Revenue of GBP32.6 million for the FY21(2020: GBP30.1 million), up 8% on the prior year; 

-- Revenue in the second half of the year was GBP18.7 million, an increase of 35% over the revenues in the first half of the year (GBP13.9 million);

   --    Adjusted EBITDA in line with market expectations; 

-- Momentum building in the business post acquisitions demonstrated by Q4 revenue 59% above that in Q3; and

-- Net debt of GBP3.2m pre-IFRS16 (GBP7.3m IFRS16) reflecting a phasing effect on working capital as a result of higher receivables following strong Q4 revenue.
