Trading Update

 

Ebiquity plc, a world leader in media investment analysis, provides the
following trading update for the year ended 31 December 2025 ("FY25").

 

The Group expects to report, subject to audit, FY25 revenues of c.£73.4m,
adjusted EBITDA of c.£8.1m and adjusted operating profit of c.£4.6m.
Unaudited net debt at 31 December 2025 is expected to be approximately
£13.1m, reflecting improved working capital management and the benefits of
cost discipline initiatives implemented during the period.

 

The Group experienced strong commercial momentum in Q4 2025 and entered 2026
having secured three major marketing effectiveness contracts with an aggregate
contract value of over £10 million across their three-year terms (2026-2028).
In addition, the Group also secured a number of integrated service programmes
in the quarter scheduled for delivery in 2026, providing improved visibility
for the new financial year.

 

Further to the announcement of 23 September 2025 and in response to continued
macroeconomic challenges in North America, the Group has now successfully
implemented a programme to right-size the cost base and, following management
changes in North America, the Group begins the current financial year with an
improved organisational structure, strongly positioned for sustainable,
profitable growth.

 

Outlook

The strong commercial successes at the end of Q4 2025, together with the cost
saving initiatives noted above, have resulted in the Group entering 2026 with
positive momentum. The Board looks ahead to FY26 with confidence and expects
revenues and profits to be ahead of FY25.

 

Ruben Schreurs, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"As previously announced, we have taken decisive action during 2025 to
strengthen the business. Our comprehensive restructuring programme has
improved operational efficiency and enabled continued investment in marketing
effectiveness and media performance capabilities.

 

"The £10m plus of three-year marketing effectiveness contracts secured in
December demonstrates strong client demand for our integrated, independent
expertise, and our continued focus on working capital management has delivered
net debt performance ahead of expectations. We are well positioned to deliver
sustainable, profitable growth."
