AGM STATEMENT
At the Annual General Meeting of SRH held on 26 January, Chairman, Lord Gordon
of Strathblane CBE, gave the following update to shareholders:
"The group made a strong start to the current financial year, with revenues from
continuing activities up 11.3% in the first quarter (October to December).
Like-for-like revenues were up 7.7%. In radio, this reflects a continuing
improvement in national advertising revenue and an ongoing robust performance
from local advertising. Like-for-like radio revenues were up 10.5% compared with
the corresponding period last year. In Score Press like-for-like revenues grew
4.0% compared with the same three months a year ago. Revenue growth has
continued into January.
"We are pleased with the start to our new financial year and look forward to a
satisfactory result for the group overall, for the financial year to 30
September 2004.
"Recently SMG sold its 27.80% holding in the company to EMAP and while we would
have preferred to assist in placing those shares, we look forward to a mutually
beneficial relationship with EMAP as shareholders.
"The group will announce its interim results on 20 May".
