Pre-close trading update Year end FY25

 

Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the award-winning television and content
production group, is pleased to announce that it expects to deliver strong
revenue and profitability growth for the fifth consecutive year, for the year
ending 31 December 2025 ("FY25") 1  (#_ftn1) .

 

Building on strong commission momentum and progress against its strategic
objectives, the Group expects to report revenue of not less than £41m (FY24:
£32.3m), growth of 27%, and Adjusted EBITDA of not less than £1.9m (FY24:
£1.5m) growth of 27%.

 

Furthermore, the Group has made significant progress against three strategic
pillars: IP monetisation, diversification into Entertainment formats, and
expansion in the Middle East.  In particular, Zinc's new entertainment quiz
format The Inner Circle and its companion show The Celebrity Inner Circle
delivered a strong series one performance, with episodes of the Saturday night
show reaching over 4 million viewers, and episodes of the daytime show
exceeding one million average audience.  In addition, the Group has
accelerated its expansion in the Middle East in Q4, opening a new office in
Saudi Arabia and a second in Qatar in a strategic partnership with Media
City.  As a result of this investment, the total pipeline of Middle East
opportunities is £20m, which compares to £5m at the same time last year.

 

Outlook

 

The Group goes into the new year with FY26 revenue visibility in line with
this stage last year with £21m secured or highly advanced on the pipeline
(December 2024: £22m contracted and highly advanced for FY25).

 

Good forward visibility and confidence in the strategic growth pillars means
the Group is on course to deliver its medium-term targets of £50m turnover
and £5m EBITDA.

 

Mark Browning, Chief Executive Officer, says:

 

"Zinc is on course to deliver excellent growth this year, and I am delighted
we are trading materially in line with market expectations. We have made
significant strategic progress and are confident in our ability to continue
this momentum, having strengthened our presence in the IP, Events and Middle
East markets. Our content continues to be world class, as illustrated only
last week when Zinc labels won 17 awards at the prestigious EVCOM awards,
including Agency of The Year, for the first time, in The Edge.  We are
outperforming in all our markets and have a clear strategy for the years
ahead."
