Pre-Close Trading Update
Dianomi, a leading provider of native digital advertising services to premium clients in the Financial Services and Business sectors, is pleased to announce the following pre-close trading update for the six months ending 30 June 2021.
Following on from a successful listing on AIM alongside a significantly over-subscribed placing in May, the Company confirms that trading during the first half of this year has been strong and that the Company is trading in line with market expectations for the full year. Revenue for H1 2021 is expected to demonstrate significant growth compared to the prior year as the Group continues to expand its customer base. As at 30 June 2021 the Company had cash of £7.8 million.
In addition to high levels of repeat revenue from existing customers, during the first six months of the year a number of new advertisers and publishers within both the established Financial Services and Business vertical and the newer premium Lifestyle vertical have 'gone live' on Dianomi's platform, including a market leading luxury publishing house and a British national newspaper on the publisher side and premium global brands from both lifestyle and business on the advertiser side.
Furthermore, there has been growth within the existing publisher and advertiser base, with increases in revenues generated from a mix of longer-term and more recently added clients, as the Group is able to demonstrate the success and quality of its offering.
Rupert Hodson, Chief Executive Officer of Dianomi, said: "It is very pleasing to see the growth in our business over the first six months of 2021 alongside completing our successful IPO. The ongoing shift towards digital news increases the size of our market as advertisers' demand for digital advertising continues to grow at pace. To satisfy this strong advertiser demand, we are focused on continuing to build on our existing publisher partnerships as well as forming new ones, thus delivering increased distribution capabilities to our platform as well as increased scale and reach to our advertisers. We are very focused on continuing to grow the business and maximising its potential."
