Catena Media's interim report for January to September 2024 highlights a challenging Q3 with a 33% decline in revenue, mainly due to underperformance in online sports betting and changes in media partnerships. Despite this, cost-saving measures improved the adjusted EBITDA margin significantly. The company restructured its organizational setup, leading to a leaner team and annual cost savings of EUR 2.2 million. A new executive management team was completed with Liv Biesemans joining as Chief Legal & Compliance Officer. An impairment charge was announced to adjust the balance sheet, reflecting a decrease in the value of the Lineups product. North American casino revenue remained stable, with strategic expansions in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking markets. However, sports betting continued to underperform, with efforts ongoing to address these issues. The company remains focused on improving margins and returning to profitable growth.

Insiderinformation: Catena Media issues Q2 earnings update

Catena Media plc issued a Q2 earnings update, noting a decline in revenue due to Google's recent changes in organic search policies, which negatively impacted rankings for sports betting and casino content. However, the company saw increased traffic and rankings for its owned brands. As a result, Catena Media's previous full-year adjusted EBITDA forecast is no longer applicable, and they won't issue new guidance at this time. Some lower-margin media partnerships will not be renewed, leading to cost savings. Interim CEO Pierre Cadena stated that the company is transitioning to a new operating model aimed at sustainable growth and improved margins by the second half of 2024. The company remains open to profitable media partnerships and is focused on organic products. Contact details for further information are provided, and the information was made public as required by the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
