FY22 Trading Update
Continued growth in line with expectations and strategic
advancements
All Things Considered G roup Plc (AQSE: ATC), an independent
music company housing talent management, live booking,
livestreaming and talent services, is pleased to provide an update
on trading for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The Board expects to report FY22 results in line with market
expectations*, with double-digit revenue growth and a significantly
improved adjusted loss before tax. The improving trading conditions
seen in the first half of the year continued through the second
half as markets continued to get back to normal and live touring
resumed. Strong progress was achieved in the Group's core artist
management and development business with the recruitment of talent
representatives supporting new client acquisition.
ATC's livestreaming investment, Driift, cemented its position in
the industry following a landmark year acquiring technology and
commerce platform, Dreamstage, and attracting a GBP4m investment by
streaming platform Deezer. ATC now holds 32.5% of the enlarged
Driift business.
Investment in the Group's operations and business divisions
continued in line with management's strategy to build an
integrated, full-service artist offering. During the year the Group
launched new complementary divisions, including ATC Experience, and
invested in personnel to bolster capacity to support growth
plans.
The Group retains a net cash balance of GBP1.3m at year end
excluding long term debt.
The Group expects to report audited results for the year ended
31 December 2022 in late April.
Adam Driscoll, CEO of All Things Considered, commented: "I am
pleased with the progress we have made in the year, including a
number of key operational and strategic achievements combined with
the continued growth of our artist representation business. We
continued to add to our artist rosters by attracting the best
managers and agents into our business, as our ethos of 'empowering
creators' continues to be a magnet for talent.
"We are excited about the prospects ahead for Driift as the
livestreaming sector sees renewed demand with the re-emergence of
live touring. With a solidified balance sheet, best-in-class
technology platform and industry leading partnership, the business
is positioned to scale.
"As we look ahead, we remain mindful of the wider economic
backdrop across our geographies. However, our diversified approach
across artists' commercial interests and established track record
means we continue to be well placed to capitalise on organic and
acquisitional growth opportunities in a rapidly evolving and
fragmented music industry."
*Market consensus for the year ended 31 December 2022 is revenue
of GBP11.0m and adjusted loss before tax of GBP0.3m.
