Full Summary

GTN Ltd, a provider of advertising platforms in Australia, the UK, Canada, and Brazil, has reported its financial results for the first half of the 2025 financial year. The company recorded revenue of $96.7 million, up 2% from the same period in the prior year, driven by strong performance in the UK and Brazil markets, which saw double-digit growth. However, the Canadian market experienced a 6.1% decline in revenue. Operating expenses increased by 3.2% to $88.1 million, primarily due to a 7.8% rise in station compensation costs and a 12.8% decrease in network operations expenses. This led to a 7% decrease in adjusted EBITDA to $12.5 million. Net profit for the period increased by 10.8% to $4.9 million. The company is looking to exit the Drones business by selling the ATN fleet in the second half of FY25. GTN maintained a strong cash position, with $15.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and net cash of $11.6 million as of 31 December 2024. The company also announced a new on-market share buyback of up to 10% of its outstanding shares and plans to distribute 100% of its first-half NPAT as an interim dividend.

Guidance

GTN Ltd expects revenue and profit to continue growing compared to previous periods, though no specific financial metrics were provided.

Outlook
