TRADING UPDATES: Hollywood Bowl sees risk of 4th lockdown in December Mon, 17th May 2021 12:11 (Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of updates by London-listed companies, issued on Monday and not separately reported by Alliance News: Hollywood Bowl Group PLC - Hemel Hempstead, England-based ten-pin bowling operator - Reports pretax loss of GBP14.5 million in the six months to end March, swinging from GBP15.2 million profit a year prior. Revenue sinks to GBP12.0 million from GBP69.2 million. Does not recommend an interim dividend. "The group's dividend policy is to grow the dividend broadly in-line with earnings. The group operates a highly cash generative business model, and therefore once the overall impact of Covid-19 and the subsequent recovery trajectory has been more clearly established, the board believes it will be in a position to return to paying dividends again," says Hollywood Bowl. Notes the opening of all English and Welsh centres on Monday, but says another lockdown this coming December and January is "plausible".
