Michael Infante, CEO of One Media, said: "Over the past twelve months, following the strategic sale of TCAT, we have had a relentless focus on cost optimisation, which has enabled us to deliver improved profitability from our continuing operations. The underlying source of this is the high quality of the portfolio of music rights that we have aggregated over the past two decades. Our catalogues continue to deliver reliable, recurring revenues as we work to maximise and monetise the global appeal for the music we hold. In the year ahead, our focus remains on catalogue management, margin discipline and being alive to strategic market opportunities that can further enhance shareholder value."

For further information, please visit www.omip.co.uk       Chairman's Statement   With this set of full year results, we are seeing the benefit of both the management's continued focus on cost efficiencies and the strategic divestment of TCAT in November 2024. Both initiatives are delivering improved profitability for the Group and, ultimately, enhanced shareholder returns.   During the year, the priority has been ensuring disciplined capital allocation, to position the Company for long term value creation that is underpinned by financial resilience.   As outlined at the half year, our strategy centres on three core pillars:   1.     Maximising returns from existing IP through active global exploitation and licensing; 2.     Selective investment into new assets and partnerships, such as our retained equity interest in Round Group following the TCAT disposal; and 3.     Exploring corporate growth opportunities, both organically and through acquisition, which enhance our digital-first model and long-term scalability.   The Group's full year results reflect the fact that we have commenced that strategic journey, with our eyes firmly fixed on maximising the Group's future potential.   In the year to 31 October 2025, while Group revenue was slightly down on last year and net revenues remained broadly flat, administration expenses were down 8%; profit before taxation increased by 9%; and earnings per share from continuing operations improved by 80% to 0.47p.   Alongside this, following the disposal of TCAT, losses from discontinued operations reduced significantly from £2.7 million in FY2024 to £0.6 million in FY2025.   The team's experience in rights management and their positive exploitation of our portfolio, continues to bear fruit, delivering the recurring revenue model that ultimately validates the success of the Company's acquisition strategy, which centres on delivering reliable, annuity like income from evergreen music.   In Q4 2025, following the TCAT divestment and the renewed focus on the Company's medium to long term strategic direction, the Board undertook a wider strategy and operational review.   As a result of this review and after careful consideration, the Board has decided not to pay a dividend at this time and continues to favour a prudent dividend policy that prioritises strategic reinvestment of funds into the business. We want to ensure that future distributions align with the Group's evolving strategic priorities and that we allow for flexibility as the Board and management continue to assess the available strategic options that are designed to unlock greater scale and further enhance shareholder returns.   As previously highlighted, management fully recognises that scale is a key challenge for One Media as a micro-cap company. As such, and for now, it remains our view is that it is beneficial to retain the ability and agility to respond to any corporate opportunities that may align with our strategic goals.   The market backdrop we are operating in supports this approach. The outlook for music IP remains strong and, against a broader global backdrop of some uncertainty and flux, we are generating stable net revenues and capital value growth underpinned by an irreplaceable portfolio of evergreen music catalogues. Visibility and reliability of income, which is unaffected by market movements, is appealing in such markets.   Within the sector, AI and its potential impact, is still a major topic of music industry conversation. The rapid developments in this technology is something we closely monitor, and our views remain measured and pragmatic. The tools that AI is delivering for the industry, which make music monetisation more efficient and much more effective, are supportive of our commercial goals and are an integral part of our day-to-day portfolio management. Beyond this, we continue to evaluate AI's broader evolution as part of our normal operations.   Finally, on behalf of the Board, management and shareholders, I would formally like to thank Brian Berg for his dedication to the Company during his six years as a Non-Executive Director. Brian retired from the Board at the end of March 2025 and, since then has continued to support the Company in an advisory capacity as required.   With our renewed streamlined structure and a strong IP foundation through our high quality portfolio, the Company is well positioned for the year ahead.   In 2026, whilst the Group is in a resilient position and cash generative, we will continue to balance operational achievements and our disciplined approach to capital allocation, while remaining open to strategic opportunities that will enable access to scalable growth. With that, I would like to thank all the members of the Company's team for their ongoing dedication to maximising the Company's potential, and our shareholders for their enduring support as we continue to work to unlock value on their behalf.     Claire Blunt Non-Executive Chairman         Chief Executive's Statement   During FY2025, following the strategic sale of TCAT, our attention has largely been on refocusing the Group towards our core business of music rights management, and on reinforcing the financial resilience of the Company through active cost optimisation. The results of these efforts are demonstrated in this set of results, which have delivered improved profitability and position us well as we continue to execute our strategy of monetising our high quality portfolio of evergreen music rights. We have adopted a consolidative approach in the year under review to align ourselves with the moving landscape of the music industry and AI opportunities.   Financial performance   The strategic divestment of TCAT at the start of the financial year, in November 2024, has resulted in an immediate and material improvement in overall financial performance.   £4.8 million (2024: £4.9 million) in Group revenue was generated from our carefully curated portfolio of music intellectual property royalties. While changes in foreign exchange rates had a negative impact of £0.1 million, net revenue was stable at £3.2 million (2024: £3.3 million). This underscores the resilience of the Group's core catalogue monetisation strategy which, when paired with our careful cost management during the year, has resulted in an increase in operating profit to £1.2 million (2024: £1.1 million) and in profit before tax, which improved by 9% to £0.9 million (2024: £0.8 million).   Total costs were reduced by an overall 7%. This includes a decrease in distribution charges from £1.12 million in FY2024 to £1.03 million in FY2025; royalty costs, which decreased to £0.37 million (2024: £0.40 million); and administration expenses, which were brought down to £1.15 million (2024: £1.24 million). A one-off tax credit of £0.2 million was recognised during the year, relating to tax benefits from TCAT, compared to a tax expense of £0.2 million in the previous year. This management strategy resulted in an 80% uplift in Basic EPS from continuing operations to 0.47p (2024: 0.26p).   Portfolio management & operational update   The divestment of TCAT, which was finalised in November 2024, has allowed us to refocus on our core portfolio of music rights, while gaining exposure to creator-driven growth through our retained 5% equity stake in the digital marketing and technology specialist, Round Group, which has a proprietary suite of   analytics tools and digital content services.   During the year, the Group acquired an exclusive mid-term licence to distribute one of the world's most significant Classic Rock podcast collections. The catalogue, which comprises hundreds of long-form episodes, interview features and themed specials, celebrates the biggest names in rock history, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, The Eagles, The Who, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Genesis, Aerosmith, U2, Steely Dan, Steve Miller and more. The new agreement gives One Media the exclusive rights to distribute and monetise the podcasts globally across streaming and digital platforms, covering artist-focused specials; historic retrospectives ("Time Capsule", "Year in Rock"); storytelling formats ("Classic Tales", "Stories Behind the Songs"); award and event programmes ("Classic Rock Awards"); and themed collections such as Power Ballads, Southern Rock, Stadium Rockers, Rock's Acoustic Side and The Great Anthems of Rock. The acquisition has further enhanced One Media's portfolio by pairing its existing music catalogue with exclusive spoken-word content around the same heritage artists, widening commercial opportunities for playlisting.   The renewed focus on our high quality portfolio of evergreen music copyrights, including music recordings, compositions and producer royalties from leading legacy artists, means our digital catalogues have continued to benefit from our active management across global streaming and video platforms, which underpins our sustainable royalty income model.   Additional highlights driving the success of our portfolio during the period include successful music placements, marketing efforts and active exploitation of digital platforms.   Multiple Point Classics placements aired on major streaming platforms including Light Cavalry Overture in 'We Were Liars' (Amazon Prime, June 2025); Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy in 'Étoile' (Amazon Prime, April 2025); Rosamunde: Andante in 'The Old Man' (Disney+/Hulu, October 2024).   As announced via RNS on 18 January 2021, the Company acquired the producer royalties for a selection of Take That recordings. The Company currently collects royalties on the released tracks within that catalogue and has actively pursued the potential release of an unreleased track featuring all five original members of the band.   On 25 May 2025, national media coverage in The Sun reignited public interest in the Take That archive, drawing particular attention to Falling for You Girl, an unreleased 1992 track identified through our rights acquisition. The Company continues to engage with Sony Music and the broader fan community to support efforts towards an official release, which the Company believes would generate significant media attention and commercial opportunity.   Take That remains one of the UK's most successful pop acts, with 28 Top 40 singles and 17 Top Five hits in the UK, including 12 Number One singles such as Back for Good and Greatest Day. The band has also achieved eight Number One albums on the UK Albums Chart. Internationally, they have secured 56 Number One singles and 39 Number One albums and have been recognised with eight BRIT Awards and an Ivor Novello Award.   The relaunch of The Great British Channel YouTube channel, supporting our expansion on what is now the biggest streaming service in the world, led to significant subscriber growth which surpassed 100,000. This strategic activity has contributed to a Group-wide total of 770,000 subscribers and over 4.5 million hours of watch time in the 12-month period to January 2025, reflecting a 23.6% increase year-on-year, contributing to marketability and revenue growth.   AI, creativity and catalogue enhancement strategy Artificial Intelligence continues to generate significant discussion across the creative industries. While AI presents both opportunities and challenges, our position remains clear: AI is a powerful tool, but creativity, judgement and curation remain fundamentally human-led.   We are using AI as a day to day commercial tool to optimise our portfolio management and to maximise the way in which we manage our rights and, ultimately, derive royalties from them. AI improves efficiency and enables us to exploit opportunities to much greater effect. Our AI initiatives are designed to enhance our existing operations and are centred on human direction, taste and editorial control.   Under the leadership of our Creative and General Managers, our team is now actively engaged in transforming audio assets into visual experiences. This approach:   ·      Focuses on creating authentic video and visual imagery ·      Preserves original recordings without alteration ·      Extends the commercial life and reach of catalogue assets ·      See the OMIP AI demo show reel: http://omip.co.uk/news/unlocking-the-full-potential-of-our-audio-and-video-library-with-ai/   We are already applying this methodology extensively within the Motorcity catalogue, where hundreds of newly created videos are being deployed using archive photography, historical references, and era-authentic visual design.   Preservation of the original assets is non-negotiable, and a key principle of our strategy is that all recordings remain untouched. Enhancements occur around the music, ensuring artistic integrity while improving modern discoverability.   The focus on video content creation is driven by the fact that streaming platforms increasingly favour visual engagement. Given that consumer playlists are now highly curated and often resistant to new entries, visual content represents a critical lever for revitalising both heritage and catalogue recordings. Video assets drive discovery and audience engagement; increase dwell time and shareability; provide stronger algorithmic signals; and support playlist penetration.   All of this contributes to enhanced royalties and revenues for the Group. Used under human creative supervision and with a priority placed on the preservation of the music we are custodians of AI has a defined and valuable role within the Company's growth strategy. Sustained value creation continues to depend on human-led creativity, curation and strategic judgement - principles that will always remain central to our approach.   Strategy and outlook   Long term valuation creation is at the centre of our strategy. We have a financially resilient company; a core focus following our repositioning; and an expert team that is experienced in maximising the potential of the incredible compositions in our portfolio.   The global recorded music market generated $29.6 billion in revenues in 2024, its tenth consecutive year of growth, with streaming now accounting for 69% of total revenues and surpassing $20 billion for the first time (IFPI Global Music Report 2025). While growth is moderating from prior peak rates, the rights-based nature of music revenue gives it a distinctly attractive profile for investors: royalties are recurring, inflation-linked through subscription price increases, and relatively uncorrelated with broader economic cycles.   Goldman Sachs maintains that the total global music market should nearly double from $104.9 billion today to $196.8 billion by 2035. Streaming subscriptions are forecast to grow from 752 million to 827 million in 2025 alone, and penetration in emerging markets sits at just 8% of the internet population, compared to 38% in developed markets, reflecting the magnitude of the opportunity.   For investors seeking durable, cash-generative exposure to a market with clear secular growth, music rights ownership presents a compelling long-term proposition.   With the major banks, research houses and industry trackers supporting a positive outlook for music; increasing waves of capital being allocated to music rights investment; and a clear institutionalisation of the asset class, One Media is well positioned because of the quality of the disciplined acquisition strategy we have stood firm to, and the resulting portfolio we preside over.   In the year ahead, our continued focus will be on applying our experience and expertise to this portfolio, driving revenue growth and unlocking further potential through the growing avenues available to us. Alongside this, from a corporate perspective, driven by the confidence we have in our portfolio, we continue to actively consider the options that are, or become, available to use to unlock greater scale and superior shareholder returns.     Michael Infante Chief Executive and Founder         Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income For the year ended 31 October 2025
