Filing Released Lang Actions
Annual Financial Report
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1545 characters) and explicitly states that the 'Annual Report and Financial Statements 2020' have been 'submitted to the FCA ESS' and are 'available to view on the Company's website'. This structure—announcing the availability of a primary report rather than containing the full report content—fits the definition of a Report Publication Announcement (RPA). Although it mentions the Annual Report, the document itself is merely the notification, triggering the 'MENU VS MEAL' rule.

Replacement Preliminary Results
Earnings Release Classification · 1% confidence The document is an RNS announcement dated October 21, 2020, which explicitly states it is an 'amendment' to a previously released 'Preliminary Results' announcement from October 16, 2020. The content includes detailed financial highlights for the 52 weeks ended July 26, 2020, including revenue, profit/loss, and EPS figures, along with a Chairman's Statement discussing business performance and regulatory environment. This structure—a formal announcement of period-end financial results—aligns perfectly with the definition of an Earnings Release (ER). Although it contains detailed financial tables, the primary context is the release of the period's results, not the comprehensive annual filing (10-K) or a standalone interim report (IR), as it is specifically labeled 'PRELIMINARY RESULTS'. The RNS header confirms it is a regulatory disclosure, but ER is the most specific category for preliminary financial results announcements. FY 2020

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 1% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and explicitly states it is provided by 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange'. The content details transactions (sale of shares) by directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs) following the vesting of a Share Incentive Plan award. This type of insider transaction reporting directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the classification should be DIRS, as it is a specific regulatory disclosure about insider trades, not a general announcement (RNS) or a report publication announcement (RPA).

Annual Report and Financial Statements
Annual Report Classification · 1% confidence The document is titled 'ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020' for J D Wetherspoon plc. It contains comprehensive financial data, including income statements, cash flow statements, balance sheets, and notes to the financial statements for the fiscal year. It is clearly the full annual report rather than an announcement or summary. FY 2020
2020-10-19 English
Preliminary Results
Earnings Release Classification · 1% confidence The document is titled 'PRELIMINARY RESULTS (For the 52 weeks ended 26 July 2020)' and contains detailed financial highlights, including revenue, profit/loss, and earnings per share comparisons between 2020 and 2019. It also includes a Chairman's Statement discussing performance and regulatory impacts. This structure is characteristic of an official announcement of annual financial performance. Although it mentions the 'annual report and financial statements 2020 has been published on the Company's website' (Note 4), the document itself presents the core results summary, which aligns best with an Earnings Release (ER) or, given the comprehensive nature covering the full year, potentially an Interim/Quarterly Report (IR) if it were half-year, but since it's 'Preliminary Results' for the full year, it functions as the initial release of the annual figures. However, the presence of extensive historical data and detailed financial tables suggests it is more than just a brief 'Earnings Release' (ER). Since it is the preliminary announcement of the full year's results, and not the full statutory 10-K filing, 'ER' is the most appropriate fit for the initial release of annual figures, although 'IR' (Interim Report) is sometimes used loosely for preliminary results if they are not the final audited 10-K. Given the context of 'Preliminary Results' for the full year, it is the primary announcement of the annual performance figures, making 'ER' the best fit among the options that aren't the full 10-K or a simple announcement of a report (RPA/RNS). The document is substantial (142k chars), indicating it contains the substance of the results, not just a notification. FY 2020
2020-10-16 English
Revised results date
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 1% confidence The document is a short announcement released via RNS (RNS Number: 6427A) from J D Wetherspoon plc. The core content is the revision of the date for releasing the annual results (from October 9, 2020, to October 16, 2020). This is not the full results report (10-K or IR), nor is it a detailed presentation (IP) or a transcript (CT). It is a formal notification about the timing of a future report release. According to Rule 2, if a document is short and announces the publication of a report, it should be classified as a Report Publication Announcement (RPA). Since this specifically announces a change in the release date of the annual results, RPA is the most appropriate classification, although RNS is also a strong candidate as it is an RNS filing. Given the specific nature of announcing a report date change, RPA is preferred over the general RNS fallback.
