Current trading and outlook
The business has had a steady start to 2020 with a quiet first quarter as has tended to be the case for the first quarter of the year for the Company.
David Craven, Executive Chairman, commented: 'We are pleased with the results for the twelve months to 31 December 2019 with the Company delivering a steady performance, increasing revenues by 27% and returning a small profit for the period. The business continued to invest in new programming with continued support from its primary funding partner.
'The Board believes that with further funding available to DCD Media, we will create a quality company, capable of strong and predictable cash generation, sustainable returns on capital with attractive growth opportunities in this exciting, expanding market place. The continued consumer demand to enjoy personalised and tailored TV content across multiple platforms is providing tailwinds for the industry as a whole.
'Reaching funding agreements with partners at the lowest possible cost provides DCD Media with a competitive advantage, The Board continues to work to provide access to competitively priced debt in the marketplace. The outlook for the remainder of the trading period to 31 March 2020 remains positive.'
Financial Review
Revenues for the twelve months to 31 December 2019 were GBP8,975k (2018: GBP7,051k). Revenues across the Rights and Distribution division of the business have increased by 27% over the year while the remaining revenue in other group companies has remained steady.
Direct costs have increased 33% to GBP7,200k (2018: GBP5,411k) and gross profit by 8% to GBP1,776k (2018: GBP1,640k) as a result of the increased revenue activity. Administrative costs have increased 3% year-on-year as a result of general rises in rates along with some changes in personnel costs. The business continually reviews its cost base to look for ways to reduce this where possible without hindering the operations of the business. The board remains committed to ensuring the cost base is appropriately managed, given the current scale of the business.
We continue to benefit from funding support from our existing external finance provider and our major shareholder, Timeweave. The funding support from both funders allows us to be competitive in the tender process for new titles and content, while we add to our burgeoning catalogue. We continue to work diligently in the marketplace to help secure and diversify our funding options.
Intangible assets as at 31 December 2019 stood at GBP1,017k (2018: GBP1,017k). There has been no movement in the balance since 2017 with carrying values fully justified through future cashflows of the businesses.
Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables at GBP9,637k (2018: GBP9,350k) and GBP9,388k (2018: GBP9,769k) respectively. Debtors are up 3% on the previous year while creditors are down 4% accordingly.
Cash on hand at the period end stood at GBP1,590k (2018: GBP2,276k). T he majority of the Group's cash balances represent working capital commitment in relation to programme making and cash held in DCD Rights' client accounts and therefore is not all considered to be free cash .
