Applegreen H1 2017 Performance Overview and Outlook The performance for the first half of 2017 was driven by strong fuel margin in both the Republic of Ireland and the UK, positive like for like growth in food and store and additional contribution from new sites across the Group’s portfolio. A strong economic backdrop, together with our upgrade and rebranding activity, saw like for like food and store sales grow by 5.4% on a constant currency basis, with related gross profit up by 9.5% (constant currency). During the period we expanded our portfolio with 32 new sites, including 11 in the ROI, eight in the UK and 13 in the USA. Five of these were dealer sites and 27 were company owned sites, which comprised of four Service Areas and 23 Petrol Filling Stations. In addition, nine sites were rebranded or upgraded in H1 2017, which involved adding one or more new food outlets at each site. This included two sites in the UK, which were upgraded from Petrol Filling Stations to Service Areas. This development activity has resulted in 17 additional branded food offers being added to our estate in the period. The UK’s decision to exit the EU has resulted in a weaker sterling, which has impacted on the consolidated euro results for the Group when compared to the same period last year. Republic of Ireland In the six months to 30 June 2017, revenue in the Republic of Ireland increased by 15.4% and gross profit increased by 16.4%. Like for like food and store sales increased year on year by 6.4% and related gross profit grew by 10.6%. Total fuel gross profit increased by 19.0% compared to H1 2016 and increased by 9.6% on a like for like basis. This reflected the impact of a strong fuel margin environment. During the period, we expanded our Republic of Ireland estate by 11 sites including five dealer sites. We opened one new Service Area in Tramore, Co. Waterford and added five new Petrol Filling Station sites. During the period, six sites were rebranded or upgraded incorporating at least one new food offer in all cases. 74% of the ROI Company owned Petrol Filling Station estate is now branded Applegreen. Our dealer and fuel card volumes have shown significant growth and now account for 28% of ROI fuel volumes. At the beginning of 2017, we entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a 50% share in the Joint Fuels Terminal in Dublin port from the Topaz Energy Group for a consideration of €15.7m. The acquisition was completed in July 2017. This transaction will provide both security and enhanced competitiveness of supply while providing further scope for the development of our Irish fuel business.

United Kingdom In the six months to 30 June 2017, revenue in the UK increased by 23.6% and gross profit by 22.7% largely due to the continued expansion of the estate (35.6% and 36.6%, respectively, on a constant currency basis). Combined food and store sales and gross profit rose year on year by 11.8% and 16.5% respectively. On a like for like constant currency basis, non-fuel sales were 0.8% ahead of the same period last year while related gross profit grew by 4.0% reflecting good growth in food. Total fuel gross profit in the UK increased by 29.8% compared to 2016 and increased by 18.6% on a like for like constant currency basis driven, primarily, by a stronger fuel margin environment. Three new Service Areas were opened in the UK including one new Motorway Service Area in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. Five new Petrol Filling Stations were added in the UK in the period and two existing stations were rebranded and expanded through the addition of new food offerings. 32% of our UK Petrol Filling Station estate is now branded Applegreen. We are building a good pipeline of Service Area opportunities in the UK, which are at various stages of the planning process. We have continued to develop our relationship with Costa Coffee in the UK and opened three additional Costa Coffee cafés as part of site upgrade and rebranding activities during H1 2017. In August 2017, we announced the planned acquisition of a network of seven sites from the Carsley Group, consisting of six Service Areas and one Petrol Filling Station. The Service Area sites are predominantly located on the major arterial route of the A1. The transaction significantly increases our presence in the UK Service Area market and is expected to close in Q4 2017. USA

During the period, the Group added 13 new forecourts in New England. 12 of these sites were acquired under our master agreements with CrossAmerica Partners. This now brings the total number of trading forecourts in the USA to 24 at 30 June 2017.

In July 2017, we announced the planned acquisition of the Brandi Group sites which is being completed alongside a leasehold arrangement with Getty Realty. The Group has 42 sites located in Columbia, South Carolina, comprised of 34 Petrol Filling Station sites and eight stand-alone Burger King restaurants. There are a further 11 Burger King restaurants in the Petrol Filling Station estate, which also incorporates other food-to-go offers such as Subway and Blimpie. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2017.

Existing management resources will remain in place and additional resources have been identified to ensure a successful integration into the Applegreen network.

Outlook We continue to develop our network in H2 2017 adding eight sites in the period to date. In the Republic of Ireland, we have opened a new Service Area in Wexford and added one Petrol Filling Station and one dealer site to our network. We opened our first new greenfield Service Area in Great Britain and have also added two Petrol Filling Stations as well as converting another Petrol Filling Station to a Service Area. In the US we acquired two Petrol Filling Station sites. We have a strong pipeline of further developments of both Service Area sites and Petrol Filling Stations across our markets.

Overall, we remain confident in the prospects for the business in 2017.
