Mark Simpson +353-1-641 0478 The headline pre-tax loss was £701m before an exceptional profit of £56m (mainly from [email protected] SLBs), versus the pre-gain guidance given on April 14th for a loss of between £690-730m; consensus stood at a loss of £706m. On a reported basis, the pre-tax loss came in at £646m vs last year’s loss of £353m (which included a £160m charge). Balance sheet liquidity stood at £2.9bn as guided, while net debt stood at £2bn vs £1.13bn at the end of September 2020. Q221 cash burn at £38m/week per week on average outperformed the guidance for £40m/week given at the Q1 trading update. Other balance sheet items of note saw unearned revenues and trade payables increase by £48m and decrease by £441m respectively over the last six months, while trade receivable decreased by £43m for a net change of £350m in cashflow from these item. Looking forward the company ‘Outlook’ statement says ‘Based on current travel restrictions in the markets in which we operate, easyJet expects to fly c.15% of 2019 capacity levels in Q3 with an expectation that capacity levels will start to increase from June onwards.’ Previously, the April trading update suggested it would fly up to 20% of Q319 capacity, demonstrating the restrictions that current governments’ travel policies are having on activity levels. The fairly neutral outlook presented by the company will change over the next few months, with much Q421 stronger pre-sales expected to be reported in the Q3 release, but in the short-term the market will see this release as ok but not a catalyst for performance.

KGF’s UK and Ireland LFL sales were up +65% yoy or +353-1-641 9230 38.6% versus 2019. As has been the case until now DIY is outperforming Trade with B&Q david.a.o’[email protected] delivering LFL's of +82% (+42% on a 2-year basis) and Screwfix delivering LFL's of 39% Robert Eason (32.5% on a 2-year basis). +353-1-641 9271 [email protected] Group Q2 LFL sales to the 15th of May are +8.2% yoy or +25% versus 2019 reflecting continued strength in the UK and France and the re-opening of stores in Poland. Q2 LFL’s in Shane Carberry +353-1-6419118 the UK are slightly lower than the Group lower at +6.8% or +24% on a 2-year basis. As a [email protected] result of the strength of Q1 and Q2 to date management are increasing the LFL sales outlook for H1 to mid to high teens from low double digits. KGF now expects H1 adjusted PBT to be Dudley Shanley ahead of previous expectations, in a range of £580m-£600m (Bloomberg consensus is +353-1-641 9174 £480m).Despite the strong start to the second quarter, H2 LFL sales guidance is unchanged [email protected] as KGF is planning for LFL scenarios of -15% to -5% (2-year LFLs of -1% to +11%), this Kate McCarthy looks very conservative given the current LFL sales run rate. +353-1-641 9005 [email protected] Specifically for Wickes, Kingfisher comments that B&Q’s new exclusive brand Kitchen range continues to perform well despite lockdown restrictions and it is encouraged by the uptake of the newly introduced installation services suggesting that Kingfisher is starting to gain some traction in kitchens.

Overall, Recommendation: Sell despite the continued restrictions and increasing logistic cost pressures, sales performance Closing Price: £25.66 has been strong, and trading has been in-line with Group expectations. This reflects a strong off-trade performance, particularly in the US (+38% yoy), and the Group is focused on Patrick Higgins +353-1-641 0403 working with partners to drive the recovery in the on-trade as it reopens. [email protected] In the UK, the off-trade channel remained robust at +10% in the 13 weeks ending 18 April which was ahead of the wider mixer category. While no details have been provided on the performance in the important UK on-trade channel since its reopening and it is too early to predict the pace of the on-trade recovery, there is renewed optimism for H2 given its phased reopening. In the US, while the on-trade channel is gradually reopening on a state-by-state basis, sales in the off-trade remained robust (+38% in the 12 weeks up to 27 March), again ahead of the mixer category. In Europe the on-trade recovery has lagged the UK and US, though the Group has delivered continued progress in the off-trade. Finally, Fever-Tree has continued to grow strongly in RoW, albeit from a low base. Of interest, Australia, where the on-trade has been open for a few months, has seen a good recovery in suburban areas though city centre demand is taking longer to return. As a reminder, at the time of the FY20 results in March, the Group guided FY21 revenue growth of 12-16% with the UK at +6-9%, while margins were guided to be broadly flat yoy. The mid-point of the range implies EBITDA growth of c.14% which compares to our forecast for c.15% growth. Overall, we consider today’s update from Fever-Tree to be broadly in-line. Growth in the US and UK off-trade has been strong which is encouraging, however, we note it now begins to lap much tougher comps so the pace of the on-trade recovery will become key to delivering growth in H2. Furthermore, the increasing logistic cost pressures may weigh on margins. With the stock up c.20% since its FY20 results, Fever-Tree now trades on an FY22 PE of c.49x (42x historic average). As a result, we remain cautious as we consider this valuation to be stretched given the scope for disappointment over the medium term on US growth and margin progression.

Revenue is expected to be Recommendation: Buy not less than £350m, c.30% y.o.y growth in line with our forecasts whilst PBT of £150m Closing Price: £110.30 (42.8% margin), is 7% ahead of our expectations and 68.5% ahead y.o.y. That is likely down to a higher share of online sales (Goodbody: 22%). Licensing revenue is in line with Patrick O'Donnell +353-1-641 6013 our expectations at £15m. Total dividend per share is 235p up 62% y.o.y in line with group [email protected] policy of distributing excess cash. The group will report full year results on July 27th.

Or least it is when we take our decisions. Like everyone else I wonder about the decisions I took and the things I said over the last few months and years. One can lose a great deal of sleep that way, but it is, of course, a futile exercise unless one is an historian. The real question is: did I do what I did and say what I said in good faith, with serious intent and with appropriate cognisance of the needs of all our stakeholders? Now, this is a good question and the answer for every one alive, never mind the few of us leading public companies, had better be yes.

Title Page Cooperation in Competitive Miniatures Games: An examination of coopetitive behaviour A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Studies in Management at Massey University Auckland, New Zealand Jean-Sebastien Imbeau 2019 1 Abstract The following study uses competitive miniatures board games as a novel research environment to examine how, when and why individuals choose between cooperative and competitive strategies to advance their interests, both within the game match itself and within the broader community of gamers, and what factors affect these decisions. Drawing on literature from the study fields of coopetition (a situation of simultaneous cooperation and competition) and decision making, the study focuses on environmental factors and systemic features of the games and game cultures, and how these impact player decisions and perspectives on the competitive/cooperative paradox. Findings supported value creation as a key motivator in player behaviour. Participants overall expressed a non zero-sum understanding of the coopetitive environment. The existence of a coopetitive tension within competitive miniatures games was acknowledged across the board, although its severity was perceived differently across participants. Participants also identified a number of key strategies and tools used to mitigate or navigate this tension. These included reciprocity, communicating intent, following the principles of clean play, and adhering to a set of unwritten rules and norms around sportsmanship and fairness.
