Trading update

Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the award-winning television and content production group, is pleased to announce that following continued new business conversion the Group is trading in line with market expectations* for FY23 and has a record order book due to be delivered in FY24.

 
 --   Total revenue won and expected to be recognised in FY23 is 
       GBP38m. This is an increase of GBP3m since the last trading 
       update in September 2023. With GBP38m of revenue already won 
       and expected to be recognised this year, revenue for the whole 
       year will significantly exceed the GBP30m of revenue generated 
       in FY22.

       of revenue and expects adjusted EBITDA for the full year to 
       be in line with expectations.

       is GBP6m more than at the same point last year looking ahead 
       to FY23.

Significant recent commissions include the Group's largest ever USA television series with the working title Top Gun: The Next Generation, worth approximately $9m of revenue to the Group. The series follows the world-class U.S. Navy pilots as they work to join the next generation of the Navy's most elite strike fighter force. Filming will take place in FY24 and FY25 and it is being produced for National Geographic Channel, a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company and the National Geographic Society, and includes direct to consumer platforms Disney+ and Hulu.
