Trading Update

Dianomi, a leading provider of native digital advertising services to premium clients in the Business, Finance and Lifestyle sectors, confirms that results for the year to 31 December 2022, were in line with the update made by the Company on 13 December 2022 with unaudited revenue of £35.8 million and adjusted EBITDA* of £1.5 million. Unaudited cash as at the 31 December 2022 was £11.6 million (30 June 2022: £10.4 million), demonstrating high levels of cash conversion.

The Company expects to report full year results for the year to 31 December 2022 around mid-April 2023.

Dianomi has entered 2023 with a strong pipeline of publishers looking to join or extend and expand their presence on Dianomi's contextual platform. A high publisher and advertiser retention rate has long been a key business strength, with publishers and advertisers choosing Dianomi's platform for its ability to deliver attractive returns combined with high quality content from global business and lifestyle brands.

However, a recent report from e-Marketer suggested that publishers' advertising businesses are having a difficult start to the year, though indications of Q2 budgets are looking more positive. Furthermore, due to the challenging macro-economic environment, market forecasts for overall digital ad spending have been reduced to show modest levels of growth for this year. Whilst Dianomi is confident that the quality of its offering will continue to attract publishers and advertisers alike, due to the cautious market outlook, in order to maintain profit margins, the Company is ensuring that its cost base is appropriate for an unpredictable trading environment.

Rupert Hodson, Chief Executive Officer of Dianomi, said:

"We have an impressive core of existing publishers and advertisers who continue to trust us and work with us, resulting in a low churn rate. There is some understandable caution amongst advertisers relating to the general economic environment, and so we are ensuring that the Company is well-placed to adapt to uncertain levels of spend whilst continuing to expand and develop our offering."

* adjusted EBITDA is calculated as profit after tax before deducting net finance costs, tax, depreciation and share based payment charges
