Trading subsidiary audited results

Sorted (AIM: SORT) announces that the audited results for Sorted Group Limited ("SGL") for the 15 months ended 31 December 2023 (the "Period") have been filed at Companies House and will be available on the Group's website. SGL is a 100 per cent. subsidiary of Sorted Holdings Limited ("SHL"), which in-turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sorted.

Highlights

• Revenue for the Period of £6.72 million (12 months ended 30 September 2022 ("FY 22"): £5.26 million).
• Loss before tax for the Period of £11.72 million (FY 22: £18.62 million).
• Cash as at 31 December 2023 of £0.32 million (FY 22: £6.82 million).
• Post Period, on 19 February 2024 Sorted completed its acquisition of SHL with the enlarged group successfully admitting to trading on AIM on the same day.
• Creditors due within one year consists primarily of the intercompany balance between Sorted Group Limited and Sorted Holdings Limited. This is a historical balance arising through distributing external funding from Sorted Holdings Limited. This was because the external funding was obtained by Sorted Holdings Limited, but the utilisation of the funding occurred in Sorted Group Limited, as the trading entity. In the accounts of Sorted Holdings Limited, there is an equal gross asset. The liability in Sorted Group Limited and the asset in Sorted Holdings limited is eliminated in the consolidated accounts of Sorted Holdings Limited. Consequently, this liability does not exist in the consolidated accounts of Sorted Holdings Limited or Sorted Group Holdings plc. The sale of Sorted Holdings Limited to Sorted Group Holdings plc for £66.67 on February 16th, 2024 does not impact this balance. Consequently, the balance remains a liability in the accounts of Sorted Group Limited and an asset in the accounts of Sorted Holdings Limited. This will remain the case until settled or formally written off, bringing the balance to zero on both sides. Sorted Holdings Limited will not seek to recover this amount. As stated above, the elimination of this intergroup balance results in no related liability (or asset) existing in the consolidated accounts of Sorted Holdings Limited and Sorted Group Holdings plc.
