Everyman Media Group PLC reported a strong first half for the 26 weeks ending 2 July 2026, with admissions up 20.5% to 2.6 million and revenue increasing by 23.9% to £70.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose 32.0% to £10.8 million, while the average ticket price increased by 4.1% to £12.97 and food and beverage spend per head grew by 3.0% to £11.41.
