AGM Statement and H1 FY26 Trading Update
ZOO Digital Group expects revenues for H1 FY26 to be approximately $22 million, consistent with H2 FY25. The company anticipates a 20% increase in revenue from higher margin media services and subtitling, which will offset a reduction in dubbing revenues. H1 EBITDA is expected to align with management's expectations due to implemented cost savings and a favorable revenue mix. The Group is also normalizing its working capital position following active creditor management in FY25. Market consensus for FY26 is revenue of $42.4 million, EBITDA (adjusted for share-based payments) of $4.2 million and cash of $3.3 million. Disclaimer*
About this update from Zoo Digital Group Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n25 September 2025\n \nZOO DIGITAL GROUP PLC\n(\"ZOO\", the \"Group\" or the \"Company\")\nAGM Statement and H1 FY26 Trading Update\n \nZOO Digital Group plc (AIM: ZOO), the tech-enabled localisation and digital media services partner to the global entertainment industry, will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at 5.00pm BST today. At the meeting, Gillian Wilmot, Chairman, will make the following statement:\n\"The evolution of our operating environment continues, with streaming platforms now taking the majority of TV viewing time and content strategies evolving at pace to bring in new customers and engage existing viewers.\n\"As a result, we are currently seeing increased levels of licensing of existing content rather than new original content, a growing interest from streamers for live and near live content, and customers looking for localisation partners to utilise AI to increase speed and lower costs.\n\"Whilst it is early days, as a technology-first business, ZOO is well placed to capitalise on these shifts. Growing demand for localisation services within reduced timeframes, and the increased use of AI, allows us to leverage our proven technology platform to meet customer needs. We recently successfully completed a dubbing project in 24 hours, compared with 2-3 weeks which is more typical in the industry, and integrated AI for a key customer. Further consolidation in the industry means customers are working with a smaller number of genuine end to end providers, such as ZOO.\n\"We are seeing the benefits of the proactive changes we made during FY25, and are continuing to implement our cost saving plans during FY26. These have allowed us to create a sustainable platform for the future while retaining the flexibility to scale as we deliver increased order volumes.\n\"Revenues for H1 FY26 are expected to be approximately $22 million, in line with H2 FY 25, with the revenue from higher margin media services and subtitling expected to grow by 20% offsetting the reduction in dubbing revenues. With the cost savings implemented being realised, and the favourable revenue mix, H1 EBITDA is in line with management expectations. With the improved profitability, the Group is continuing to normalise its working capital position after active management of creditors in FY25.\" \nPresent...
