NoHo Partners Plc

STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 9 September 2021 at 9:00 a.m.

NoHo Partners� turnover for August�2021 was approximately MEUR 18 and operating cash flow was positive by over MEUR 1

NoHo Partners Plc�s turnover in August 2021 was approximately MEUR 18, representing roughly 85 per cent of the turnover in the corresponding period in 2020 and roughly 65 per cent of the turnover in the corresponding period in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating cash flow in August exceeded MEUR 1.0.

NoHo Partners CEO Aku Vikstr�m:

�Our positive cash flow generated by our business and turnover for August were around MEUR 18 and were in line with our expectations. Our international business has started promisingly with the removal of COVID-19-related restaurant restrictions in Denmark and Norway. Also the fast casual business, with Friends & Brgrs at the forefront, attracts consumers. Demand for restaurants is still very weekend-oriented and entertainment venues are burdened with strict restrictions. Although we are not yet operating at full power, I am pleased that we have managed to bring down the burn rate of costs and have learned to operate effectively in a limited environment, as evidenced by the positive cash flow generated by our business.

We estimate that in September the restaurant restrictions will still have a significant impact on our operating environment, and our turnover will be in the range of approximately MEUR 14�16, which means that the operating cash flow of the business will also remain positive. The booking situation for the rest of the year is good, but especially the organisation of corporate events now requires the rapid lifting of restrictions in October. The Finnish Government's updated coronavirus strategy promises to open up our country, but we are still waiting for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health to provide concrete guidance on how and when the restaurant restrictions will start to be lifted and we can properly start our business.�

The development of business in September 2021 will be reported by the company during week 41.
