Unaudited Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 31 December 2024

 

ADVFN today announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2024 (the "Period").

 

Chief Executive's Statement

 

Since the change in management and Board in the second half of 2022, ADVFN has witnessed an increasingly challenging market environment. The AIM market, the broader stock market, and ADVFN specifically have faced significant headwinds. One of the biggest challenges has been a decline in ADVFN's revenue, driven primarily by a slowdown in sales, a challenge we have observed across our sector.

Nonetheless, we have made significant progress in optimising our cost structure and improving operational efficiency. This has been a long and challenging process, but we have successfully reduced annual costs from £8 million to approximately less than £5 million and have maintained this saving as more long-term projects take effect in Q1 2025. These efforts have ensured that ADVFN is becoming a sustainable, flexible and more efficient organisation.

As a legacy company, we have worked relentlessly to adapt and position ADVFN as a technology-focused company. These efforts should not be underestimated, as they have required more time and resources than initially expected. Our efforts have been dedicated to:

●    Restructuring and optimising our corporate structure while hiring and onboarding top-tier talents.

●    Restructuring, optimising and heavily investing in our platform to make it more scalable, agile and frictionless.

●    Building cutting-edge technologies and introducing state-of-the-art tools that redefine how our users interact with our platform.

●    Laying the groundwork for growth and long-term success.

Headline financial performance for the six month-period ended 31 December 2024 ("Period") with a comparison to the six-month period ended 31 December 2023 ("Prior Period") is as follows:

Revenue: £2.019 million (Prior Period: £2.294 million)

Gross Profit: £1.919 million (Prior Period: £2.185 million)

Operating Loss: £479k (Prior Period: £611k loss)

Administrative Expenses: £2.398 million (Prior Period: £2.796 million)

Net Loss: £393k (Prior Period: £531k loss)

Cash and Cash Equivalents: £3.535 million

Total Liabilities: £1.290 million

Total Equity: £3.238 million

 

 

The past 12 months have been a period of transformation - AI-driven tools, new apps, Options Flow, and TraderChat, are just the beginning. These advancements take time and patience, but I am confident in our team's dedication and hard work. We remain committed to building the best platform for our users and delivering long-term value for our shareholders. While ADVFN has made significant strides in optimising its cost structure and reducing operational losses, the focus moving forward will shift entirely to growth with a strong focus on Monthly and Annual Recurrent Revenue Subscriptions.  Our new optimised operating model ensures that every £1 of marginal unit of revenue contributes meaningfully to profitability, targeting an 80% gross margin and a 65%-70% operational margin. This shift from cost-cutting to revenue growth will be the key driver of our future success.

While revenue and profit ratios have remained relatively stable, we still face some challenges as revenues declined in 2024, albeit at a much slower pace. Nevertheless, there are encouraging signs: traffic has increased by nearly 30%. The products and developments I have been highlighting over the past year are now starting to take effect on our platform, and even more innovations are on the horizon.

At the same time, the results for the Period reflected increased legal costs from a dispute (now settled) with a former Board member, which significantly burdened our bottom line.

While product optimisation and operational efficiency have been the cornerstones of our success, we recognise that these elements alone will not sustain our long-term growth. In today's dynamic market environment, there is substantial opportunity to accelerate our expansion through strategic mergers and acquisitions. We have observed that companies operating on a scale similar to ADVFN, across diverse countries and markets, with consistent revenue trends and robust advertising strategies are uniquely positioned to create significant value when combined with our strengths. Therefore, our strategy moving forward is built on three key pillars: a steadfast commitment to enhancing our core products, the integration of advanced AI capabilities, and a pursuit of M&A opportunities to acquire complementary platforms. By pursuing these strategic initiatives, we aim not only to drive growth but also to generate synergies that will significantly enhance our revenue potential over the mid-long term.

Given this general trading and market background, we have carefully assessed the benefits and drawbacks of remaining an AIM-listed company. This evaluation has been ongoing for some time to determine how best to achieve our corporate goals and unlock the company's full potential.

To achieve our ambitions as a small company, we need full focus from the executive management team on operational and funding priorities, and to shift our efforts from administrative and regulatory priorities arising from our ongoing listing obligations, to development and product innovation. Additionally, the Company's falling share price and low levels of liquidity have deterred potential partners from accepting shares or options as consideration, restricting deal-making flexibility. As a result of the low market valuation, nearly every potential acquisition would have required us to give up substantial equity, even for smaller transactions, on unattractive terms for our existing shareholders. The persistently low liquidity and suppressed share price have yielded minimal benefits for our shareholders, making it hard to justify remaining public from a strategic standpoint

Accordingly, the Board has unanimously decided to pursue the delisting of the company from AIM and a circular will be sent to shareholders in due course. Over the past months, we have carefully evaluated all possible options and the steps necessary for this transition and I want to assure you that this decision has been made with a clear focus on the company's best interests and goals.

Recognising the concerns and uncertainties that may arise from this transition, I want to assure our shareholders that we are taking deliberate steps to facilitate liquidity and maintain open, transparent communication. To support ongoing shareholder engagement, we intend to transition to the JPJ Bargain Match Engine, ensuring that some liquidity potentially remains available despite the shift to a private structure.

In addition, we will launch a dedicated shareholder portal, accessible via email login, to serve as a central hub for updates, FAQs, and a direct channel for addressing any concerns promptly. This shareholder portal will also host important reports, announcements, and periodic events to keep shareholders informed and engaged.

Over the coming weeks, I will personally dedicate my full attention to addressing shareholder concerns and ensuring a smooth transition. Every shareholder who remains with us post-transition will have direct access to the ADVFN team and myself, and we will be available for individual communication to provide clarity and support.

I would like to reaffirm our commitment to taking the right steps for ADVFN's long-term success while treating every shareholder with the utmost care and respect. I invite you to embark on this journey with us, confident that together we will achieve our shared vision and long-term goals.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and active engagement. It has been truly inspiring to see that so many of you deeply care about the company, offering invaluable insights along the way.

While our journey as a public company may be coming to an end, our dedication and ambition remain stronger than ever. The team and I are fully committed to building a company that not only thrives, but is one in which you will be proud to be a shareholder. I sincerely hope you will continue this journey with us so that together we can achieve our shared vision and long-term goals.

Thank you for being a vital part of this story.

Notes to the interim financial statements

 

1.  Legal status and activities

 

The principal activity of ADVFN PLC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") is the development and provision of financial information, primarily via the internet, research services and the development and exploitation of ancillary internet sites.

 

The principal trading subsidiaries are All IPO Plc (strike off applied for), InvestorsHub.com Inc and N A Data Inc,

 

The Company is a public limited company which is quoted on the AIM of the London Stock Exchange and is incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of the registered office is Suite 28, Essex Business Centre, The Gables, Fyfield Road, Ongar, Essex, CM5 0GA.

 

The registered number of the company is 02374988.

 

2.  Basis of preparation of the half-year report

 

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

 

The financial information does not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the full audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2024, which were prepared under applicable law and in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.

 

The unaudited consolidated interim financial information is for the six-month period ended 31 December 2024. These financial statements were approved for issue on 26 March 2025.

 

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) rounded to the nearest thousand except where specified.

 

The interim financial information has been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the Group will continue in existence for the foreseeable future.

 

No material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern have been identified by the directors.  Accordingly, the directors believe it is appropriate for the interim financial statement to be prepared on the going concern basis.

 

The principal risks and uncertainties of the Company remain the same as those reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2024.

 

Estimates and Judgements

The critical estimates and judgements remain the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2024.

 

Shares issued

On 16 May 2024, 280,000 shares were issued to non-executive directors in lieu of salary. The shares had a nominal value of £0.002 per share and were issued at the market value on the date of issue of 10.5p per share, resulting in an increase in share capital of £560 and share premium of £28,840. The shares rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue.

 

Trade and other receivables

These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary assets.

 

They are initially recognised at fair value and measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss.

 

The Group's financial assets comprise trade receivables, other receivables (excluding prepayments) and cash and cash equivalents.

 

Trade and other payables

Trade payables are recognised initially at their fair value, net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised costs less settlement payments.

 

Other liabilities are recognised initially at their fair value, net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised costs less settlement payments.

Notes to the interim financial statements

 

Prior year adjustment

 

The financial statements for the year ended June 2023 have been restated to correct for a prior period error. The intangible assets and the retained earnings have both been reduced by £785,000 which represents an intangible asset acquired as part of the historic acquisition of All IPO Plc. This asset had, incorrectly, not been amortised since its acquisition. Note 12 (Group), intangible assets, shows the effect of the restatement on the cost of the website development costs as at 1 July 2022. There is no impact on the basic or diluted earnings per share.

 

Assets had also been incorrectly allocated between the group companies, and this has been corrected in the Company as shown in note 3. There was no net impact of this on the Company financial statements.

The following standards and interpretations apply for the first time to financial reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023:

Where a loss has been recorded for the year the diluted loss per share does not differ from the basic loss per share.

 

Where a profit has been recorded but the average share price for the year remains under the exercise price the existence of options is not normally dilutive. However, whilst the average exercise price of all outstanding options is above the average share price, there are a number of options which are not. Under these circumstances those options where the exercise price is below the average share price are treated as dilutive.

 

On 16 May 2024, 280,000 shares were issued (note 2).

 

6.   Dividends

 

The directors are not recommending payment of an interim dividend in the current financial year.

 

7.   Events after the balance sheet date

 

        There were no relevant events after the balance sheet date.
