tbivision.com/2023/09/21/itv-of-course-looking-again-at-all3media-says-ceo-describes-company-as-great-business/


ITV CEO Carolyn McCall has confirmed that the broadcaster is looking again at a potential acquisition of Traitors producer All3Media, describing the company as “a great business”.

All3, which is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery and Liberty Global, went on the block earlier this year and ITV had initially been the frontrunner to buy the Jane Turton-led group.

The UK broadcaster revealed in July it had pulled back but the process was restarted earlier this month, with a host of potential acquisitors including Banijay believed to be in the mix, with a price tag of around £1bn ($1.2bn) attached.

McCall told the RTS Cambridge Convention this morning that “of course it is [of interest]”, before discussing the broadcaster’s recent growth of ITV Studios.

“We have made it really clear that we want to expand our ITV Studios business and we have done that very effectively with smaller acquisitions and organically.

“We have also effectively backed talent,” McCall continued, pointing to Nicola Shindler’s launch of Quay Street Productions.

“That is all working and of course All3 is a great business, but there is always going to be a lot going on in any discussion about getting together. All I would say is we are monitoring the situation but not actively exploring.”

Liberty Global CEO Mike Fries yesterday said that ITV was among those looking at All3, adding that a sale would allow the group to “scale up” and compete with global competitors.

He described the sale as “bittersweet” and added that “pretty much everybody you can think of” is taking a look at the group.

CT’s Smith: Market underestimates ITV
Columbia Threadneedle’s Jeremy Smith topped up his holding in ITV (ITV) as he believes the broadcaster is more resilient than the market is giving it credit for.

Smith holds the Citywire Elite Companies A-rated stock in his £144m CT UK Equity Alpha Income fund and in a recent update said he had added to the position this summer after it underperformed amid concerns that ‘audiences are declining and that recessionary fears will pressure advertising revenues’.

However, Smith believes ITV ‘offers an attractive risk-reward profile’.

‘ITV’s broadcasting business is more resilient than the market gives it credit for and has the potential to increase prices in advertising,’ he said.

‘Meanwhile, the studios division is an extremely attractive, globally relevant content business with growth potential, and it generated record revenues in the first half of 2023.’

In addition to this, the group has ‘doubled down on investment in its streaming offering’.

‘We have given strong feedback to the company regarding monetising ITV Studios, which could be used to fund a share buyback,’ he said.

Shares in ITV dipped 1% to 72p on Wednesday. They have fallen 7% this year.

Sure but looking at the bigger picture ITV's Mkt Cap is less than £3bn, all those other streamers have sky high Mkt Caps in the hundreds of millions of dollars, so it's not a fair example to make comparisons.

ITV are doing ok at this time, the share price has all the negatives baked in, so all they need is for ITVx to appeal to a recovering advertising market and things could change rapidly.

Can't see ITV being £25, but a bullish ad report and 100p is on the cards.

The majority of the viewers of ITV are women (eg Caronation street and reality TV).
To be anti-Woke or woke-neutral risks losing your entire core audience (women are statistically far more woke then men).

Also, of course anti-woke almost by definition means you are over 70...
-----------------------------
netcurtain...what a ridiculous post, ITV have as many male viewers as female! Just in my family whose ages range from teenagers to over 80's both women and men, none of us are 'woke'...we all laugh at how ITV has gone from the un PC 'Morse' & many other great drama's to the ridiculous nonsense portrayed by 'Vera' and all of the shows ITV broadcast. People know full well that our lives are not inhabited by a majority of colours, religions, creeds, LGBQT's and any other minorities they can muster. Fact is they are not and people are sick of seeing things that are so unrepresentative. It's barmy and ITV are guilty of trying so hard to out woke the BBC and it reflects in the company's share price. Fund managers want McCall's head and imo she will be gone soon.

Netcurts please speak for yourself, because you are in a minority. I have a feeling you are 'woke', because you post drivel and throw your toys out of the pram when nobody agrees with you.

Market capitalisation £2,863m
Dividend yield 6.9%

ITV trading on ‘modest’ multiple, says Shore Capital
ITV (ITV) continues to trade on a ‘modest’ multiple despite the potential offered by its digital and production operations, says Shore Capital.

Analyst Roddy Davidson reiterated his ‘buy’ recommendation on the Citywire Elite Companies + rated stock, which issued half-year results and saw its shares rise 3.9% to 71.1p.

The broadcaster reported a revenue fall in its media and entertainment division of 9% but saw strong performances from production and digital, home of its ITVX platform.

Davidson viewed the stock’s valuation, trading on 7.5 times forecast earnings, ‘as very modest given ITV’s financial characteristics – strong cash generation, modest leverage, and a well-covered dividend – the growth potential offered by its digital and production operations and its strategic value.’

However, he added that sustained share price appreciation will be reliant on ‘improvement in the UK advertising outlook’.

ITV's had a tough first half, as expected. Traditional TV advertising is an increasingly difficult environment to make money, especially with the current economic uncertainty. But ITV is doing what it can to stoke the fires of growth another way.

ITVX, the new streaming platform launched at the end of last year, has come out the blocks firing. A successful launch, and the momentum it gives, was vitally important for ITV's transition away from the declining audiences that traditional broadcast attracts.

ITV has tens of thousands of hours of popular content to beef up an on-demand streaming catalogue, thanks to hits like Love Island, Coronation Street and I'm a Celebrity. There's also a host of other popular shows across its family of channels.

It's hard to knock initial progress from ITVX, but there's no getting away from the sheer scale of competition in this sector. The US giants have substantially deeper pockets to throw at growing market share too. We simply wonder if today's consumers will be convinced to sign up for yet another monthly subscription from ITV, regardless of price point.

Then we have the Studios business, which makes and distributes shows in the UK and abroad. Some of these are sold back to ITV's Media & Entertainment business, but other blockbusters like Line of Duty are made for others. ITV retains the rights to a huge slate of produced global content. Studios is the only thing driving revenue upwards for the group. Our new binge-watching cultures mean established streaming giants and other channels are desperate for high quality content.

But running a production company doesn't come cheap. Profits are growing, but margins are unlikely to ever shoot the lights out. The likes of Netflix can attest to the cash-pit that content generation can be.

We also can't rule out a break-up of ITV. If this were to happen, we'd view it as a loss of some great assets.
ITV isn't exactly in bad financial shape. Underlying net debt isn't overly high, which adds a layer of flexibility. Cash flow's reasonably healthy but is something we'll be keeping an eye on. The prospective yield is higher than average, which partly reflects the challenges levelled at ITV's valuation in recent times and please remember no dividend is ever guaranteed.

Ultimately, ITV has come a long way. But the longer-term picture becomes muddied by concerns over digital competition and tough margin environment in Studios. Having the right idea is entirely different to being able to deliver the shift fast enough to offset the structural decline in broadcast advertising. The valuation looks about right to us.

ITV Interim results for the period ended 30 June 2023



Good strategic progress and strong execution; financial performance as expected with ITV Studios revenues up 8% and digital revenue up 24%



Carolyn McCall, ITV Chief Executive, said:

"The continued momentum behind ITV's strategic transformation delivered strong growth in Studios and Digital revenues in the first half of the year, largely offsetting the expected weakness in the UK advertising market - with total revenue declining just 1% in H1, even in a very tough advertising market.



"ITV Studios increased revenue by 8%, reaching £1 billion in H1 for the first time with strong and growing global demand for ITV's content.



"ITVX drove an increase in digital revenue of 24%, ahead of plan, supported by a step change in our viewer metrics - with more viewers watching more content and staying longer.



"ITV maintained its strength in linear in a challenging advertising market. Looking forward we see a more encouraging outlook as advertisers build their campaigns around the large streaming and linear audiences expected to be drawn to the Women's World Cup, the Rugby World Cup and the eagerly anticipated return of Big Brother.



"We remain on track to achieve all our KPI targets which gives us confidence we will deliver at least £750m of digital revenue by 2026. As we said at the full year results in March, 2023 is the year of peak net investment in our streaming business and we expect profit to grow from here.
