AA PLC

AA Intermediate Co Limited results for the year ended 31 January 2018

In compliance with the requirements of AA Intermediate Co Limited's ('AA Intermediate Co') Class A and Class B notes, full year results for AA Intermediate Co have been issued to the Irish Stock Exchange. The results are also available on the AA plc website at www.theaaplc.com.

AA Intermediate Co Limited is the parent company of the companies that provide security and guarantees under the Whole Business Securitisation ('WBS') financing arrangements entered into by the AA on 2 July 2013.

AA Intermediate Co Limited's results differ from the results of AA plc that were announced on 17 April 2018.

The material differences relate to the consolidated assets and liabilities as follows:

1. Net Inter-company creditor balances were £1,192m for AA Intermediate Co and nil for AA plc as all non-trading balances were eliminated in AA plc as part of the 2013 financing transaction.

2. Cash balances, which were £100m higher for AA plc than for AA Intermediate Co as £21m of restricted cash was held at AA plc level for the AA plc group's Insurance Underwriting activities and £79m of available cash was held mainly as the result of dividends of £80m, paid from AA Intermediate Co to AA plc for the payment of external dividends to shareholders and other strategic requirements.

3. Additional working capital balances are held at AA plc level for the AA plc group's Insurance Underwriting activities. These balances are disclosed in note 22 of the AA plc 31 January 2018 year-end financial statements.

AA plc's Insurance Underwriting activities sit outside the AA Intermediate Co group. Other than these activities there are only immaterial differences between Trading Revenue and Trading EBITDA for the two groups. The remaining trading performance is therefore substantially comparable.
