Everyman CEO Steps Down After Profit Warning as Board Installs Farah Golant as Interim Chief

The company launches an external search to steady operations after cutting sales and earnings guidance.

Overview

  • Alex Scrimgeour left with immediate effect following weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter box office trading.
  • Non-executive director Farah Golant takes over on an interim basis, bringing three decades of experience in media and creative industries.
  • December guidance now points to at least £114.5 million in revenue and £16.8 million in underlying EBITDA for the year to 1 January, down from £121.6 million and £20 million.
  • The finance director resigned on 15 December, leaving two top roles to fill as shares sit near multi-year lows following the profit alert.
  • Analysts say Everyman’s premium edge has been eroded by larger rivals and a weak 2025 release slate, with the group operating 49 cinemas across the UK.
