CORRECTION DCD Media FY sales exceed expectations, sees continued growth
AFX

(corrects to show sales up by 10.16 mln stg, recasts)

LONDON (AFX) - DCD Media PLC, a television production company, reported a widened pretax loss of 1.17 mln stg for the year to end June, compared with a loss of 564,000 stg, but saw its sales exceed expectations and said it is confident of continued growth.

Sales during the period increased to by 10.16 mln stg to 13.3 mln, following three acquisitions made by the company. The company had expected the figure to come in at around 9.8 mln stg.

EBITDA rose to 2.3 mln stg, an increase of over 2.2 mln stg on the 34,000 stg achieved in 2005.

The one-off costs hitting pretax profit included group reorganisation of 437,000 stg, and set up costs of DVD and Education divisions of 131,000 stg.

DCD Media said the acquisitions during the period led to successful merger of distribution libraries and made inroads into the US markets.

Chairman David Elstein said: 'Sales in FY2006 outperformed expectations and our group outlook for the current year shows continued growth and exceeds revenue expectations.

'Each division is now benefiting from being part of this larger production and distribution entity and we look forward to strengthening our position as the sector consolidates.'

DCD Media plc, the arts, entertainment and drama television production and
distribution group, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary,
Iambic Productions Limited, has commenced two new projects, both of which are
expected to air on television in the Christmas season, bringing the number of
Iambic programmes being premiered on television over the next two months to
four.

The first, `Abba - Thank You For The Music', is a new feature-length
documentary about the Swedish pop group. Initial sales have been to ITV1 and
Network Seven Australia. The second, initially for BBC One, is a documentary
about the new Cirque du Soleil show and associated forthcoming Beatles CD
`Love'.

Current pre-sale revenues for these two projects exceed 500,000. Additionally,
the Company expects to generate significant further sales from overseas
distribution. Iambic's previous Abba documentaries have exceeded a further
200,000 in foreign and other media sales. The `Love' programme is also expected
to generate further revenues for the group over and above its initial BBC One
pre-sale.

International sales of both productions will be undertaken by DCD Media's
in-house distributor NBD Television.

DCD Media Chief Executive Chris Hunt said, "These are two very major projects
for Iambic, which is cementing its reputation as the country's leading producer
of high quality popular culture programmes. Our Abba films have, over the
years, been Iambic's most profitable, and we see no reason for this one to be
an exception, while `Love' is a breakthrough for the company on BBC One. Iambic
is currently extremely busy, and has a pipeline of other major projects
awaiting production. Iambic routinely generates margins far higher than its
sector average, and these new programmes will go a long way to ensure that the
current year is no exception."


Abba AND The Beatles! May be time for Driver to get back in!

Iankn73 - 03 Jan 2007 20:00 - 79 of 175

Thanks for the prompt response but... have you any idea why some of the other sites are showing 0.94?

Rgds,
