Operational Highlights
-- Increased advertiser demand for high-quality audiences on mobile continues to fuel strong session values.
-- Entertainment Daily session volumes (traffic) up 46%. -- The Tab session values up 57%. -- The Daily Mash Premium content offering introduced to drive direct consumer revenues.
-- The Tab, benefiting from Digitalbox's Graphene platform, continued to deliver operating profit every month in the period and has now fully repaid its acquisition cost.
-- The acquisition of the web and mobile platform assets of TVGuide.co.uk Limited, announced in May 2022, is expected to complete in the second half of FY 2022 as scheduled.
-- Administration costs excluding the non-cash charges of depreciation, impairment and share based payment costs are up 17% due to investments in technical, commercial and content resources.
Outlook
-- Full year results to 31 December 2022 will be broadly in line with market expectations.
James Carter, CEO, Digitalbox plc, said: "We are pleased with the performance of the business in the first six months of the year. This was achieved in part due to the commercial transformation of The Tab, our focus on mobile publishing, and Entertainment Daily's editorial team successfully maximising user engagement across all channels. This strong first-half performance and our optimised operating model, mean we are confident that we can cope with the economic headwinds expected to impact global advertising revenues in the second half. We believe we can strengthen the Company's position as we plan to bring TV Guide on board and we are confident that trading for the full year 2022 will be broadly in line with market expectations."

About Digitalbox plc
Based in Bath, UK, Digitalbox is a 'pure-play' digital media business with the aim of profitable publishing at scale on mobile platforms.
Digitalbox operates three trading brands, "Entertainment Daily", "The Tab" and "The Daily Mash". Entertainment Daily produces and publishes online UK entertainment news covering TV, showbiz and celebrity news. The Daily Mash produces and publishes satirical news content. The Tab is the UK's biggest youth culture site fueled by students.
Digitalbox generates revenue from the sale of advertising in and around the content it publishes. The Group's optimisation for mobile enables it to achieve revenues per session significantly ahead of market norms for publishers on mobile.
InteriM Statement
Overview
The performance of the Group in the first six months of the year has been strong and exceeded our expectations. As a result of the high volumes of traffic on Entertainment Daily and the continued improvement in the monetisation of The Tab, revenues have increased 40% period on period to GBP1.9 million. More importantly, Digitalbox reports adjusted operating profit of GBP0.7 million which is significantly ahead of management expectations. Furthermore, the gross cash balance has increased from GBP2.2 million as at 31 December 2021 to GBP2.8 million as at 30 June 2022.
Operating Review
The two factors that drive revenue are the volume and value of advertising. The volume is reflected in the number of visits (or sessions) that the Group's websites receive from users that come to read our content. The value is the price advertisers pay to reach these users during these sessions. The number of visits to the Group's websites increased significantly in H1, predominantly due to solid editorial success through our biggest brand, Entertainment Daily. While we anticipated advertiser demand softening due to the energy and cost of living crisis, combined with the Ukraine war, competition for high-quality mobile inventory continued to deliver strong session values across the period.
The delivery of the Group's strategy has progressed considerably year on year as the total audience across the business has again grown significantly. Entertainment Daily, which is focused on TV and show business news, had an exceptionally strong six months, with the number of visits up 46% on the same period last year.
The Daily Mash saw its content offering strengthen with the launch of 'Mash Premium', the new paid subscriber-only area, which has already gained 1,000 members so far with limited promotion, hence we are excited about the prospects for growth of the subscription model. As well as the introduction of the Mash Premium channel, the production of a new series of The Daily Mash's successful spin-off TV show Late Night Mash has commenced, with Rachel Parris confirmed as the new host. The first episode aired on Dave on 1 September 2022, with a further seven episodes released in the season.
The Tab has continued to deliver, contributing a profit each month since we acquired it in October 2020, and has now successfully repaid all the acquisition costs. With the site holding its position at around 50m visits for the period, we continued to see significant year-on-year revenue growth of 52% for the period as a result of the Graphene ad stack being deployed; a model of the Company's approach to acquisition identification and integration.
Looking ahead, the acquisition of the web and mobile platform assets of TVGuide.co.uk Limited, announced in May 2022, is expected to complete in the second half of FY 2022 as scheduled. The Company then intends to focus on integrating these assets onto the Company's Graphene technology platform. As with The Tab, the Board expects this to enhance the site's revenue performance and profitability.
Financial review
The Directors are pleased to report strong absolute growth in revenues with a period-on-period uplift of 40% to GBP1.9 million, driven by high volumes of traffic on Entertainment Daily and the continued improvement in the monetisation of The Tab.
Further, gross margins are up from 84% last period to 87% this period serving to highlight the high efficiency of successful digital media businesses like Digitalbox. This efficiency is growing due to the continued improvement to the monetisation on The Tab and the low scaling costs of servicing the increased traffic on Entertainment Daily.
With adjusted operating profit of GBP0.7 million, which is the true cash generating indicator for the business, gross cash has grown from GBP2.2 million at the end of December 2021 to GBP2.8 million at the end of June 2022. For context, gross cash at bank on 23 September 2022 was GBP3.2m, up 45% since 31 December 2021.
Given the development of The Daily Mash from a straight advertising-funded model to a hybrid subscription and advertising model, we have taken the cautious step of writing off the carrying value of goodwill and intangible asset associated with this brand. As a non-cash, one-off financial accounting adjustment, this does not affect the strong cash generating characteristics of the business.
