During a period of change across the media industry in Q4 2025 - traditionally the Company's most important trading period - Digitalbox delivered strong results. With AI impacting publishers across the board, Digitalbox's broad diversity of distribution channels and strong levels of audience engagement have proved increasingly important.

James Carter, CEO of Digitalbox, said: "The second half of 2025 was both an exciting and demanding period for the publishing industry. We executed our plan to explore highly focused new market sectors-specifically reality TV, soaps, and the UK royal family-as part of what we call our 'verticals strategy', while also strengthening our on‑platform revenue generation. We are pleased with the acquisition of the Media Chain Group's digital assets during the year, which we believe will support further growth and contribute to our ongoing organic expansion plans."
