("Team Internet" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Audited 2025 Annual Report

Notice of Annual General Meeting

 

Team Internet Group plc (AIM: TIG, OTCQX: TIGXF), the global internet company that generates recurring revenue from powering identity and discovery online, is pleased to announce its audited Annual Report for the financial year 2025 is now available on the Group's website at the following link: https://teaminternet.com/annual-interim-reports/. The Annual Report will shortly be posted to those shareholders who have opted to receive a hard copy.

The results for the financial year 2025 ("FY25") are in line with the Group's Trading Update announcement issued on 15 June 2026. The Group remains confident in its ability to meet market expectations for 2026.

Financial summary

·    Gross revenue of USD 481.9 million (FY2024: USD 802.8 million)

·    Net revenue (gross profit) of USD 136.2 million (FY2024: USD 187.5 million), with gross margin increasing from 23.4% to 28.3%

·    Adjusted EBITDA(i) of USD 42.7 million (FY2024: USD 91.9 million)

·    Operating loss of USD 49.9 million (FY2024: profit of USD 8.2 million), following USD 41.7 million of impairment charges relating to the Group's Search segment

·    Due to the same impairment charges, a loss after tax of USD 62.5 million (FY2024 loss after tax: USD 17.7 million) was recorded

·    Adjusted earnings per share (diluted) of USD 9.18 cents (FY2024: USD 21.22 cents)

·    Adjusted operating cash flow of USD 66.0 million (FY2024: USD 99.1 million)

·    Adjusted operating cash conversion(ii) of 155% (FY2024: 108%)

·    Net debt(iii) of USD 87.6 million (31 December 2024: USD 96.4 million); Team Internet has continued to be cash generative in FY2025, reducing net debt by USD 8.8 million during the year despite USD 6.9 million of shareholder distributions

During FY25 the Group prioritised the quality and durability of its revenue over headline volume, making deliberate strategic progress across all three segments.

Key performance indicators by segment were as follows:

·    DIS segment(iv):

Average revenue per domain year increased by 2% to USD 12.64 (FY24: USD 12.45)

Value-added services revenue rose to 17.8% of segment revenue (FY24: 16.1%), an increase of 1.7 percentage points and a relative uplift of 10.6%

Processed domain registration years decreased by 7% to 12.3 million (FY24: 13.2 million)

·    Comparison segment(v):

Gross merchandise value (GMV) generated outside the core DACH region increased more than tenfold, to 4.8% (FY24: 0.4%)

Revenue per thousand impressions increased by 3% to USD 257 (FY24: USD 249)

Visitor sessions decreased by 10% to 169.4 million (FY24: 188.5 million)

·    Search segment(vi):

Next-generation monetisation increased to 39.1% of segment revenue (FY24: 4.7%)

Revenue per thousand impressions decreased by 51% to USD 34 (FY24: USD 69), reflecting the change in monetisation mix during the transition

Visitor sessions decreased by 19% to 5.5 billion (FY24: 6.8 billion)

The increase in leverage to 2.9x adjusted EBITDA (31 December 2024: 1.2x) and the reduction in interest cover to 2.7x (31 December 2024: 5.9x) primarily reflect the lower adjusted EBITDA recorded during the transition year; the Group remained strongly cash generative and reduced net debt during the period.

Operational and corporate summary

·    Stable performance in DIS and Comparison segments, with both segments maintaining strong momentum and finishing the year towards the top end of market expectations despite a challenging operating environment.

·    Successful strategic transition in Search, with nextgeneration monetisation formats accounting for 39% of segment revenue.

·    DIS strengthened its long-duration earnings base, securing the tenyear .co registry contract and achieving further margin improvements as Unity integration benefits flowed through.

·    International expansion accelerated, with Comparison delivering its first positive contributions in France, Italy and Spain, and launching the UK portal.

Annual General Meeting

The Company also announces that its 2026 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at 15:00 BST on Friday 24 July 2026 at the Company's registered office at 4th Floor, Saddlers House, 44 Gutter Lane, London, EC2V 6BR. The notice of AGM document will shortly be available on the Company's website at https://teaminternet.com/constitutional-documents-and-circulars/.

The Company is offering facilities for shareholders to attend by conference call to ask questions in real time should they wish to do so.

Shareholders will be able to follow the proceedings of the AGM over the online Investor Meet Company platform by registering in advance via the following link: https://www.investormeetcompany.com/team-internet-group-plc/register-investor  

Shareholders who already follow TEAM INTERNET GROUP PLC on the Investor Meet Company platform will automatically be invited.

Shareholders are invited to submit any questions in respect of the meeting for the Board to consider. Questions may be submitted in advance up until 09:00 BST the day before the meeting or during the meeting over the Investor Meet Company platform following registration, and the Board will aim to respond to any such questions relevant to the business of the meeting.

Shareholders taking part via the Investor Meet Company platform will not be able to speak or vote on the AGM resolutions.

Michael Riedl, CEO of Team Internet, commented:

"With our 2025 accounts now audited and published, the year of transition is behind us. We have reshaped the Group and strengthened our financing, with amended facilities and extended maturities, and our growth segments are carrying real momentum into 2026. Our focus now is entirely forward."

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY ON GROUP PERFORMANCE

Introduction

In line with previous guidance, we are reporting FY25 gross revenue of USD 481.9 million and net revenue of USD 136.2 million, with adjusted EBITDA of USD 42.7 million.

During 2025, the Group's DIS segment continued to outperform expectations, while the Comparison segment recovered from a challenging start to the year and returned to year-on-year growth in H2. The headwinds facing the Group's Search segment are well-documented; however, the Group remains at the forefront of Related Search on Content and commerce media monetisation, positioning it for the next phase of high-intent digital marketing.

NOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   General information

 

Team Internet Group plc is a public company limited by shares incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 and domiciled in England in the United Kingdom. The Company is the UK holding company of a group of companies whose principal activities create meaningful and successful connections from businesses to domains, brands to consumers, publishers to advertisers, enabling everyone to realise their digital ambitions. The Company is registered in England and Wales. Its registered office and principal place of business is 4th Floor, Saddlers House, 44 Gutter Lane, London EC2V 6BR.

 

2.   Basis of preparation

 

The preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2025 are an abridged statement of the full Annual Report which was approved by the Board of Directors on 25 June 2026. The consolidated financial statements in the full Annual Report are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 ('the Act') as applicable to companies reporting under international accounting standards. As applied to the Group, there are no material differences from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial results for the year ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Group's 2024 statutory accounts.

 

The financial results are condensed and do not represent statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Act. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, upon which the auditors issued an unqualified opinion, are available on the Group's website and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales in accordance with section 441 of the Act.

 

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered the Group's cash flow forecasts, covenant compliance and available financing facilities for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, covering the period to 30 June 2027 (the 'Review Period') to determine whether the Group is able to meet its liabilities and other obligations as they fall due. The going concern assessment is based on a Board-approved base case and a severe but plausible downside scenario. Under the base case, and the severe but plausible downside scenario, the Group is projected to comply with the financial covenants in its Senior Facilities Agreement throughout the Review Period.

The Group did not meet its financial covenants for the quarters ended 31 December 2025 and 31 March 2026, the breach at 31 December 2025 arising from adjustments identified during the year-end close. The Group's lenders waived both breaches in June 2026.

The Group completed a renegotiation of its existing debt facilities with its lenders in June 2026, securing wider covenant headroom and aligning all debt facility repayment maturities in October 2027, which materially strengthens the Group's financial position and flexibility. The newly agreed covenants are:

- Leverage: 30 June 2026: 4.00x, 30 September 2026: 4.25x, 31 December 2026: 3.75x, 31 March 2027: 3.50, 30 June 2027: 3.00x and 30 September 2027: 2.50x.

- Interest cover: 30 June 2026: 2.25x, 30 September 2026: 2.50x, 31 December 2026: 2.75x, 31 March 2027: 2.75, 30 June 2027: 3.00x and 30 September 2027: 3.00x.

As part of the covenant amendment, the Group is required to make quarterly repayments of USD 2.5 million on its USD 150.0 million term loan, commencing in June 2026. In addition, the revolving credit facility has been reduced from USD 100.0 million to USD 50.0 million to reflect lower funding required by the Group.

The Group expects to be compliant with the amended covenants at 30 June 2026 and throughout the Review Period.

The Group's debt facilities of USD 170.0 million are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position at 31 December 2025. This classification reflects that the facilities were immediately repayable at that date due to a covenant breach, which has since been waived. With the maturities now aligned, the facilities are now contractually repayable in full in October 2027.

The debt facilities of USD 170.0 million are scheduled for repayment on 14 October 2027, which falls outside the going concern Review Period ending 30 June 2027. Having regard to the potential significance of the repayment the Directors consider that the most likely options are a refinancing of the Group's debt facilities or the execution of a disposal of the Domains, Identity and Software ('DIS') segment.

The Group is also in discussions with a number of prospective financing partners regarding a potential refinancing of its USD 170.0 million facilities, with the aim of completing this in early Q3 2026, significantly ahead of the October 2027 maturity date.

In parallel, the Group's strategic review remains ongoing and includes consideration of a potential disposal of the DIS segment, which, if completed, is expected to generate proceeds materially in excess of the Group's drawn debt facilities.

The Group forecasts to meet all its covenants in both the base and severe but plausible downside scenarios. In reviewing the assessment outlined above, the Directors are confident that the Group has the necessary resources and mitigations available to continue operations and discharge its obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.

3.   Segment analysis

 

Operating segments are organised around the products and services of the business and are prepared in a manner consistent with the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to determine allocation of resources to segments and to assess segmental performance. The CODM comprises the Board of Directors. The CODM is not provided with operating segment assets and liabilities, nor segmental cash flows arising from the operating, investing and financing activities, and therefore this is not disclosed.

 

The Group has three reporting segments, Domains, Identity & Software (DIS), Comparison and Search. The DIS segment comprises the former Online Presence segment and the Voluum SaaS business. The Comparison segment comprises VGL Publishing AG and its affiliate businesses, operating product comparison websites such as Vergleich.org. The Search segment represents the former Online Marketing segment, less Comparison and Voluum. Previously, the reporting segments comprised Online Presence (DIS, not including Voluum) and Online Marketing, which comprised the remainder of the Group. Management reviews the activities of the Group in the segments disclosed below:

7.   Earnings per share

 

Earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the consolidated profit/(loss) after taxation attributable to ordinary Shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, plus vested options, as these options have little or no exercise price, less shares held in treasury and by the Group's Employee Benefit Trust.

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated on the same basis as above, except that the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of the unvested dilutive potential ordinary shares as calculated using the treasury stock method (arising from the Group's share option scheme) into ordinary shares has been added to the denominator. There are no changes to the profit (numerator) as a result of the dilutive calculation. Exact numbers have been used in the calculation of earnings per share, rather than the rounded numbers used in the financial statements.

 

Due to the loss made in the current year, the impact of the potential shares to be issued on exercise of share options would be anti-dilutive and therefore diluted earnings per share is reported on the same basis as basic earnings per share.

The Group has recognised an impairment charge of USD 39.5 million in respect of the Search CGU (Germany and Israel, excluding Shinez I.O Ltd). This charge has been recorded within 'Amortisation and impairment of intangible assets' in the statement of comprehensive income. This impairment consists of goodwill of USD 26.8 million, customer list of USD 7.6 million; domain names of USD 4.8 million; and software of USD 0.3 million. The impairment has been calculated by comparing the goodwill and intangibles carrying amounts to their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is based on the fair value less cost of disposal method.

 

An impairment of goodwill of USD 1.4 million due to the phasing out of a product within the Commerce Media Tech CGU (within the Search segment). An impairment of USD 0.8 million in respect of Shinez has been recognised,  (within the Search segment). The Shinez impairment consists of customer list of USD 0.6 million and intellectual property of USD 0.2 million.

Deferred consideration payments

 

During the year, a deferred consideration payment of USD 0.2 million was made in March 2025 for the acquisition of Adrenalads LLC.

 

11.  Share buyback programme and Employee Benefit Trust

 

During the year, the Company repurchased 6,220,650 shares under its share buyback programme at an average share price of GBP 0.85 (USD 1.07) (2024: 13,901,734 shares at an average share price of GBP 1.18 or USD 1.49). The Board considers the share buyback programme to be in the best interests of all Shareholders, given the cash-generative nature of the business. It continues the Group's established capital allocation policy, which is geared towards greater returns to Shareholders. The shares repurchased are held in treasury by the Company. At 31 December 2025, the EBT held 4,894,178 shares (31 December 2024: 5,820,086 shares). The total value of shares repurchased in the period was USD 6.7 million (2024: USD 20.8 million). Share repurchases of USD 6.9 million were settled in cash during the year (2024: USD 21.1 million). Cash settlement amounts differ from the value of share purchases within the year due to the timing differences between cash transactions and contractual purchase dates.

12.  Subsequent events

 

During the preparation of the 2025 accounts, the Company identified a breach of the covenants within that facilities agreement. The Company had a further breach of its covenants at 31 March 2026. The Group's lenders waived both breaches in June 2026. The Group completed a renegotiation of its existing debt facilities with its lenders in June 2026, securing wider covenant headroom and aligning maturities in October 2027.

GLOSSARY

The Group discloses and describes a number of alternative performance measures and terms used in these financial statements. These are listed below:

 

Adjusted earnings per share

Adjusted earnings per share ('Adjusted EPS') is stated before amortisation and impairment, non-core operating expenses, foreign exchange gains and losses, share-based payment expenses and deferred tax to provide a widely used metric that provides a more appropriate measure of the ongoing and underlying earnings per share. Deferred tax mainly relates to items adjusted for within amortisation.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

The Group reports adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairment, non-core operating expenses, foreign exchange gains and losses and share-based payment expenses ('Adjusted EBITDA'). This metric is widely used by internal and external stakeholders to assess the underlying profitability of a company.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is considered to be tax jurisdiction, capital structure, property plant and equipment asset and intangible asset agnostic, as well as providing a more appropriate measure of ongoing and underlying profitability.

 

Adjusted EBITDA conversion

Adjusted EBITDA conversion refers to the percentage of Net revenue that is converted into Adjusted EBITDA in the period.

 

Adjusted operating cash conversion

Adjusted cash conversion refers to the percentage of Adjusted EBITDA that converted into operating cash in the period. Operating cash flows are adjusted for non-recurring working capital items, such as the settlement of acquisition costs included within the balance sheet of acquired entities.

 

Net debt

The Group defines net debt as: gross cash, less bank debt and prepaid finance costs, and adding/subtracting bank debt-related hedging assets/liabilities as at the balance sheet date. The Group considers net debt an appropriate measure to determine its overall financial position and is a widely used metric by internal and external stakeholders to assess the solvency or liquidity of the Group.

 

Next-generation monetisation revenue

Revenue generated from emerging monetisation models such as Related Search on Content (RSOC) and commerce media services.

 

Non-core operating expenses

Non-core operating expenses are disclosed and described separately in the consolidated financial statements where it is necessary to do so to provide further understanding of the financial performance of the Group. These expenses are not incurred as part of the underlying trading performance of the Group and are therefore adjusted. They are items of expense or credits relating to activities that have been shown separately due to their nature, which are generally outside the ordinary scope of business, are discretionary and/or non-recurring. Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses are the most relevant items falling into this taxonomy.

 



 

Pro forma revenue

Non-GAAP information has been provided for period-to-period comparison of revenue performance. Revenue for the entire comparative period is used, irrespective of when the acquisition by the Group arose.

 

Revenue by geographical location of indirect consumer

There is a material difference between the geographical location of the indirect consumer and the invoiced customer. The Group therefore discloses the geographical location of both the indirect (end) consumer and the (direct) invoiced party.

 

Revenue per domain year

Revenue generated from the sale of an internet domain divided by the licence period (in years) of the internet domain sold.

 

Revenue per thousand sessions ('RPM')

Revenue generated for every thousand sessions or visits to a website.

 

Revenue per visitor session

Revenue generated from each visitor session to a website.

 

Top-Level Domain or 'TLD'

A top-level domain is one of the domains at the highest level in the Domain Name System of the Internet. For example, in the domain name 'www.teaminternet.com', the top-level domain is .com

 

Value-Added Revenue
