Pre-close full-year trading update
Results expected to be at the top end of expectations
Future plc (LSE: FUTR, "Future", "the Group"), the global
platform for specialist media, today provides a pre-close trading
update for the 12 months to 30 September 2022.
The encouraging performance, as set out in the June trading
update, has continued. We have seen a return to organic audience
growth in the second half, as Covid comparators were fully lapped,
combined with continued digital advertising growth and an improving
trend in affiliates, underpinning the resilience of our diversified
business model. Operating leverage and cash conversion have
remained strong, with continued deleveraging following the
acquisition of Who What Wear. As a result, the Group expects full
year adjusted operating profit to be at the top end of market
expectations*. Future will release FY2022 results on 30 November
2022.
Zillah Byng-Thorne, CEO, commented: "We are pleased to be
reporting another period of good progress. Against the backdrop of
a challenging macro environment, our continued strong performance
is a testament to the diversified nature of valuable audiences,
specialist content verticals and monetisation routes coupled with a
relentless focus on execution."
