Trading Update

 

Ebiquity plc ("Ebiquity" or the "Group"), a world leader in media investment
analysis, provides a trading update ahead of the publication of the interim
results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 on 29 September 2025.

 

The Group's Global operations, excluding North America, which represent
approximately 85% of Group revenue, have continued to deliver growth in the
second half of the current year and are expected to deliver strong full-year
revenue and operating profit growth, particularly in Marketing Effectiveness
and Contract Compliance services.

 

However, the uncertain macroeconomic environment in North America has proved
more persistent than previously anticipated and negative impacts on client
spending and decision-making prevail.  The Group has restructured the North
American leadership team and is implementing targeted cost savings to improve
profitability.

 

As a result, the Group now expects to report full year revenues of in the
region of £75 million, in line with 2024 revenues, and an adjusted operating
profit in the region of £5.5 million, supported by the continued operational
efficiency initiatives to offset revenue pressures in North America. The Group
maintains a robust financial position with cash balances of £8.9 million at
30 June 2025, with comfortable headroom above covenants and £11 million of
undrawn facilities.

 

Ruben Schreurs, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

"While US market conditions have proved challenging for longer than previously
anticipated, our global operations excluding North America continue to deliver
strong operating profit growth and represent 85% of our revenue. We are making
good progress in Marketing Effectiveness integration, which remains vital to
our strategic positioning and growth prospects. We are particularly focused on
improving the performance of North America, having made key changes to the
leadership, and are taking action to improve its profitability.

 

"Our global pool of experts, unique data assets and market independence
continue to differentiate us competitively. We have confidence in our
positioning for when external market conditions in North America stabilise,
whilst building on the positive operating profit momentum across our other
global markets."
