Trading Update

Ebiquity plc ("Ebiquity" or the "Group"), a world leader in media investment analysis, provides a trading update ahead of the publication of the interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 on 29 September 2025.

The Group's Global operations, excluding North America, which represent approximately 85% of Group revenue, have continued to deliver growth in the second half of the current year and are expected to deliver strong full-year revenue and operating profit growth, particularly in Marketing Effectiveness and Contract Compliance services.

However, the uncertain macroeconomic environment in North America has proved more persistent than previously anticipated and negative impacts on client spending and decision-making prevail. The Group has restructured the North American leadership team and is implementing targeted cost savings to improve profitability.

As a result, the Group now expects to report full year revenues of in the region of £75 million, in line with 2024 revenues, and an adjusted operating profit in the region of £5.5 million, supported by the continued operational efficiency initiatives to offset revenue pressures in North America. The Group maintains a robust financial position with cash balances of £8.9 million at 30 June 2025, with comfortable headroom above covenants and £11 million of undrawn facilities.

Ruben Schreurs, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"While US market conditions have proved challenging for longer than previously anticipated, our global operations excluding North America continue to deliver strong operating profit growth and represent 85% of our revenue. We are making good progress in Marketing Effectiveness integration, which remains vital to our strategic positioning and growth prospects. We are particularly focused on improving the performance of North America, having made key changes to the leadership, and are taking action to improve its profitability.

"Our global pool of experts, unique data assets and market independence continue to differentiate us competitively. We have confidence in our positioning for when external market conditions in North America stabilise, whilst building on the positive operating profit momentum across our other global markets."
