(Sharecast News) - Zinc Media Group flagged record revenue and earnings for 2025 on Wednesday, marking a fifth consecutive year of growth, and said it had started the new financial year with a strong order book and pipeline.
The AIM-traded television and content production group said it expected to report revenue of 41m for the year ended December, up 27% from 32.3m in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was expected to rise 27% to 1.9m from 1.5m, with the results described as materially in line with market expectations.
The company said it had made a positive start to 2026, securing 3m of new business including an international returning television series.
Trading was said to be in line with the strong start made in the prior year, with 21m secured or highly advanced in the pipeline.
Zinc added that it was in advanced discussions over commissions worth a further 10m and in early-stage talks on eight large projects, each valued at more than 1m, which could be delivered later this year.
Management said the group was well positioned at the outset of 2026, supported by a strong pipeline and the full-year benefit of cost savings implemented in the prior year.
It said it remained on track to deliver its medium-term targets of 50m in revenue and 5m in EBITDA.
"I am delighted to announce our results for 2025 which deliver 27% revenue and EBITDA growth, materially in line with market expectations.
"These demonstrate our ability to grow profitably and outperform the wider market.
"Looking ahead to 2026 I am encouraged by our pipeline, in particular some large opportunities in the earlier stages of discussion.
"We continue to make strides across our three strategic growth pillars - IP development, genre diversification in entertainment formats and geographical diversification in the Middle East and expect to have more positive news on these when we formally report our year end results at the end of April."
At 1324 GMT, shares in Zinc Media were up 3.38% at 47.04p.
