Ebiquity plc, a world leader in media investment analysis, provides the following trading update for the year ended 31 December 2025 ("FY25").
The Group expects to report, subject to audit, FY25 revenues of c.£73.4m, adjusted EBITDA of c.£8.1m and adjusted operating profit of c.£4.6m. Unaudited net debt at 31 December 2025 is expected to be approximately £13.1m, reflecting improved working capital management and the benefits of cost discipline initiatives implemented during the period.
The Group experienced strong commercial momentum in Q4 2025 and entered 2026 having secured three major marketing effectiveness contracts with an aggregate contract value of over £10 million across their three-year terms (2026-2028). In addition, the Group also secured a number of integrated service programmes in the quarter scheduled for delivery in 2026, providing improved visibility for the new financial year.
Further to the announcement of 23 September 2025 and in response to continued macroeconomic challenges in North America, the Group has now successfully implemented a programme to right-size the cost base and, following management changes in North America, the Group begins the current financial year with an improved organisational structure, strongly positioned for sustainable, profitable growth.
Outlook
The strong commercial successes at the end of Q4 2025, together with the cost saving initiatives noted above, have resulted in the Group entering 2026 with positive momentum. The Board looks ahead to FY26 with confidence and expects revenues and profits to be ahead of FY25.
Ruben Schreurs, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"As previously announced, we have taken decisive action during 2025 to strengthen the business. Our comprehensive restructuring programme has improved operational efficiency and enabled continued investment in marketing effectiveness and media performance capabilities.
"The £10m plus of three-year marketing effectiveness contracts secured in December demonstrates strong client demand for our integrated, independent expertise, and our continued focus on working capital management has delivered net debt performance ahead of expectations. We are well positioned to deliver sustainable, profitable growth."
