Content business
The legacy mobile content business, which generates revenues through relationships with mobile operators and content aggregators and retailing directly to the consumer, continues to perform in line with expectations. Group revenue for the first three months of 2020 was GBP100,000 (2019: GBP190,000). EBITDA for this period (calculated as profit before tax, interest, amortisation, depreciation, share compensation expense and impairment of assets) showed a loss of GBP131,000 (2019: loss of GBP479,000) following a focus on cost cutting within the Group. The revenue in Argentina and Mexico remained stable for the first three months of 2020, although the Argentinian peso was devalued by 1.8% during the period., The underlying operations of the existing mobile content business (ie excluding plc costs, some initial costs in establishing the Streams platform and other one-off costs) are running at close to break-even, despite reduced revenues compared with the prior year.
The Group's cash balance is currently GBP97,000, including the net proceeds of the GBP75,000 Placing announced on 30 March and a net tax credit of GBP50,000 received by the Argentine business in March.
