dotdigital Group PLC on Monday said it plans to increase its dividend as it expects to report revenue and profit growth for the 2025 financial year. The London-based customer experience and data platform said revenue was up 6.2% to £83.9 million in the financial year to the end of June, up from £79.0 million in the prior year. It said adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and adjusted pretax profit are expected to show ‘strong growth’ in line with market expectations. The consensus for adjusted Ebitda is £25.8 million and £18.3 million for adjusted pretax profit. This would be an increase of 6.2% for adjusted Ebitda from £24.3 million and 8.9% for adjusted pretax profit from £16.8 million in 2024. dotdigital said average revenue per customer increased 3.6% on a reported basis to £1,923 per month from £1,857. It intends to pay a higher final dividend, in line with market expectations. The final dividend for financial 2024 was 1.1 pence per share. dotdigital said it continued to see ‘healthy demand’ in line with market trends for data, personalisation and artificial intelligence functionality. ‘It secured larger customers and higher-value contracts within its core mid-market segment alongside growing adoption among larger enterprises seeking to consolidate their technology stacks,’ the company added. The acquisition of Social Snowball in June was a ‘key strategic milestone’ as it added to its presence in the influencer, affiliate and referral marketing segments. ‘We are pleased to report on a year of further profitable growth whilst materially advancing our product proposition to support our ambition of scaling innovative, high margin [customer data & experience platform] solutions within fast growing markets,’ said Chief Executive Officer Milan Patel. ‘The impact of our product enhancement efforts to date, both organically and inorganically, can be seen in a robust new customer acquisition performance as well as the continued uptake of additional functionality across our existing base. This has been accelerated further with the addition of Social Snowball in the year, unlocking a significant new market opportunity.’ The CEO said the board is confident of ‘continued success’ as the company has started the new year with ‘a strong pipeline, robust financial position, a growing partner network and a significantly expanded market opportunity’.
