("Digitalbox" or the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Trading Update

 

Digitalbox plc (AIM: DBOX), the mobile-first digital media business, which
owns among others the leading websites Entertainment Daily, The Daily Mash,
The Poke, The Tab and TV Guide, provides a trading update ahead of the
completion of the key Q4 trading period in 2025.

 

The Company expects EBITDA for the 12 months to 31 December 2025 to be
significantly ahead of market expectations and revenue to be broadly in line
with the market expectations.*

 

Trading across Digitalbox's brands in the second half of FY2025 has remained
robust against a challenging landscape for media companies. Overall,
Digitalbox's established brands have performed well alongside the expansion of
TV Guide and success with investments in new brands, Reality Shrine and Royal
Insider, leading to a more positive performance than expected in FY2025.

 

The Company expects to publish its FY2025 results in March 2026.

 

James Carter, CEO, Digitalbox, commented: "We remain confident in the full
year outturn looking at December's trading. This is at a time that we
are continuing to develop the business through launching new
products while we remain alive to consolidation
and acquisition opportunities that can maximise shareholder value."

 

*As at 3 December 2025 the directors understood market consensus for the year
ending 31 December 2025 to be revenue of £4.1m and EBITDA of £0.2m.
