Unscheduled Trading Update - Further Positive Momentum

The Vitec Group plc ("Vitec" or "the Group"), the international provider of premium branded hardware products and software solutions to the growing content creation market, issues the following unscheduled trading update.

Current trading and FY 2021 outlook

Since our last trading update, our markets have continued to reopen as we expected, however, we have achieved a stronger than anticipated recovery, ending May 2021 with a record order book (c.50% higher than at the start of the year). As a result, the Group's adjusted PBT for H1 2021 is expected to be not less than GBP19.0m(1).

For FY 2021, despite uncertainty around the impact of electronic component and raw material shortages, the Board now expects adjusted PBT for FY 2021 will be materially above current market expectations(2).

The Group will provide more details at its Half Year results announcement, scheduled for Thursday, 12 August 2021.
