Scandic Operating environment remains tough particularly in Sweden Rebranding programme on hold Performing better than the competition
Franchising Scandic to be franchised in Northern Europe Launch on 1 January, 2004 Franchising of Hilton brand progressing
The Key Issues FOBTs – What next? Betting Exchanges – A level playing field? Hotel trading – Visibility remains poor
FOBTs Popular innovation following the removal of customer tax Judicial declaration expected Q1 2004
Betting Exchanges “We are not against betting exchanges, we are against an uneven playing field”
Outlook Hotels - Will recover. Time and pace of recovery still uncertain Betting - Maintain steady growth in the underlying business
Interim Dividend “Maintained at last year’s level reflecting confidence in the brands and their future prospects” 3.4 pence per share
