Trading update
Immedia Broadcasting PLC ('Immedia'), the UK's leading provider of live tailored
radio, announces today that whilst sales have continued to progress, results for
the year will be significantly behind market expectations.
Over the last few months, advertising on Impulse Live has been slower than
expected. In addition, the Company has noticed a trend towards a much longer
time frame than anticipated between the initial discussions with possible
clients and the actual signing of the contracts and the Company believes this
situation is unlikely to change. Immedia continues to talk to a number of
prospective clients, and although there is no guarantee that these discussions
will result in contracts in the short term, it confirms that Immedia's offering
is attracting strong interest.
Immedia remains financially sound, with a strong balance sheet and the business
is trading at an EBITDA positive position. Immedia continues to be well
positioned in a growing and exciting market and Immedia's Live radio stations
have proved to be a powerful medium to engage both staff and customers.
Interim results for the 26 weeks to 30 June 2005 are expected to be announced on
1st August 2005.
