07:53		martina pescatore: It was a large volume of share traded yesterday for Zoo. 740,000 shares 100,000 shares 100,000 shares 400,000 shares and 625,000 shares, all transacted at 62p per share. The new lockdown rules and the long term effects to the way the dubbing industry operates could have a very favourable outcome for Zoo. Then consider that, in the interims results to 30 September 2020 the company said that Cloud dubbing revenue grew by 480% year-on-year. And look at the growth in the number of dubbing related career opportunities at Zoo on their website. And take a look at the latest article on their website, dated 4 January 2021, snippets from which include: COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption of cloud dubbing and remote recording environments faster than any ZOO Digital pitch or presentation ever could. When lockdown hit the entertainment industry, it became abundantly clear that the traditional dubbing industry wasn’t prepared to react. Lockdown and a lack of business continuity has demonstrated that the dubbing supply chain is vulnerable. Most service providers own and operate studios around the world, and during lockdown, those studios shut down. What we and the industry as a whole saw very quickly was that there was not a lot of resilience in the supply chain. The shutdown of the traditional dubbing model has been a wake-up call for studios, and content owners, but it’s also acted as a catalyst for change. All very encouraging for Zoo it seems.

18:50		snoper: A few thoughts/considerations/notes from what has become public today (reporting and interim presentation just now): - out of $9.9m localization revenue in H1 '21, 50% was dubbing. This was 10% in the same period last year (aligns wit the c.500% increase we have read about). Thus now c.$5m of dubbing related revenue for H1 '21 - "Zoo currently has strongest order book ever" Stuart mentioned. I believe this only to be relating to digital packaging (and perhaps dubbing). Can't possible be subs as well given covid - Out of the additional 65 personnel (265 total), 10 related to dubbing and 35 to digital packaging - Zoo will remain investing significantly up to reaching regions of $100-200m of revenue, to gain ground/market share on the large competitors. Priority will be revenue first, profitability second - In time, Zoo aims to have "cost of sales of under 60%" according to CFO. I.e. gross profit to be at 28/30% (current gross margin is clouded due to investments in personnel - note that cost of sales includes freelancer costs, production department costs such as talent finding/quality assurance/project mgmt). The CFO also mentioned that with $100m in revenue, he would expect EBIT so stand "at double digit" - The "overall" market for Zoo was mentioned to be $3bn, whilst media localization stands at an estimated $2.4bn. This implies that Stuart estimates digital packaging market to be $600m (I will need to rewatch to validate, but feel free to correct) - Dubbing is consuming cash -> dubbing talent will invoice earlier than Zoo client pays. Zoo is confident to finance this going forward out of cash generation and (undrawn) working capital line of a small $3m they have currently - Digital packaging is expected to normalize to some extent in the future. Although content owners still have a lot of back catalog available. For now -> order book highest ever with very strong Q3 outlook. Uncertain for large part for Q4 (visibility not that far) - Zoo has been able to acquire a lot of new customers since existing providers to those companies were in a covid hiatus (impacting especially dubbing operations). 2-3 of those clients are "significant". As per reporting Zoo has 30% more customers now (to 122) and is servicing all major Hollywood studios now (for subs! hence this is not directly related to a lot of new clients who where won via the dubbing route) - A large OTT client (I suspect this to be Disney) has expanded its adoption of Zoostudio within its organisation - Some color on AI was given. In short: not a risk for "the spoken word". We have heard this before, nothing new Today I was disappointed with the financial results (yet again). This was before I realized that subs were down 34% and Zoo still managed to grow localization 10%. If dubbing would not have grown $4m (to the $5m today), localization for H1 would have been hit severely. Given their recent investments in dubbing (10 FTE) and wording around their dubbing strategy (continued R&D spend for efficiencies/breadth of offering and contracting "key advocates of the industry"....) they seem to be very bullish on continued growth of this $5m dubbing revenue for H1 '21. Digital packaging now has the highest order book Zoo ever encountered, for which they needed an additional 35FTE. We know this digital packaging has a very strong margin profile. The CFO did mention some expections of the % revenue contribution of digital packaging going forward but I will need to validate. Of course, when Covid normalizes - so will digital packaging. But content owners still have a huge amount of back catalog. My personal expectation is this will come online even in non-covid circumstances, albeit a a slower pace. You should not invest in Zoo if you want to trade it. Based on the information today I am convinced that Zoo has a good shot at growing considerably based on where it is today - driven by a strong outlook for dubbing / digital packaging and normalizing of subs. Zoo is better positioned now than it has ever been. So I am invested in Zoo and will remain so for the longer time period (3-4 years). I suspect this to be the timeline mgmt aims to achieve $100m in revenue as well.

13:31		snoper: @heialex1, a few things going on/thoughts on my end concerning Zoo and its market: 1. Netflix being the gorilla in the OTT landscape with c.180m subscribers still does its dubbing on premise i.e. has not adopted a cloud strategy for dubbing. This is anecdotally and I am not sure if this is still 100% true for all content (if someone has any public materials which say otherwise, feel free to share) 2. Netflix tried to do localization in-house ("Project Hermes") and pulled the plug in Q4 2018 I believe, it was too difficult. I am comfortable with that type of risk going forward (i.e. players moving forward into the value chain). This caused somewhat of a hiatus in the localization landscape and especially for Zoo adopting a OTT focused strategy (note this impacted FY19) 3. Zoo's appointment as a top 3 "preferred" localization partner for Disney+. Huge deal. Disney+ getting a lot of traction with currently 50m subscribers I believe, some estimates say this might move to 250m in the future. 4. Zoo's recent hiring in dubbing -> appointing a number of senior dubbing personnel. Goes to show that there definitely is traction in that category, I believe this to be Disney+ driven. 5. Decline of legacy business. Plenty of information on Zoo's investor relations website to check this out. Legacy business has phased out significantly in recent periods. You mention that Zoo "has not exploded" implying you were expecting Zoo to have a highly scalable model. Clearly it has taken Zoo more effort as originally expected to generate value. Part driven by external market factors, but I also believe that it is driven by Zoo's USP vs. competition. The USP that Zoo's offer to OTT providers are in short (i) a sophisticated platform "ZooStudio" offering full breadth of localization services, with the main advantages being speed of work (i.e. faster turnaround) and fewer errors (due to a number of smart functionalities in the platform). (ii) to more easily manage the content funnel a OTT provider is feeding into the localization market (which played a key role for Zoo getting the appointment as one out of 3 preferred parties at Dinsey+) - which has another angle to it which I think should be mentioned seperately namely (iii) Zoo's large network of localization talent + it is cloud based, making it more efficient vs. brick and mortar type competitors. Note localization is a service, not a product. As a holder of Zoo stock I believe in the USPs Zoo has and the value it could create - but I am also aware that it takes time to educate the market, which has been functioning the same way for decades (this concerns the actual localizers e.g. dubbing directors, voice talent etc.). Zoo's initial explosive growth was congruent with Netflix's explosive growth, which currently is not explosive anymore. However there are a number of other competitors getting very strong traction and Zoo is positioned as a top contender for RfPs coming to market. A number of recent high profile appointments including Disney+ are proof of this. I am bullish on the continued footprint of Zoo as a go to partner for OTT players looking to get their content localized in a cost effective and fast manner without any loss of quality. A final thought on my end is that I am very curious to see how long Netflix will continue with its strategy for brick and mortar dubbing only. At some point, cloud dubbing will be a mainstream solution vs. the niche it still is today. Zoo is a front runner and innovator in this niche. Hope this helps.

06:48		martina pescatore: Looking at the Zoo website NBC Universal are clearly prominent as one of the content owners that trust Zoo. Looking at the Post Production section of Zoos website there are three company logos clearly listed: Disney, Netflix PFP and NBC Universal. Looking at recent Zoo tweets, I am encouraged by the tweet on 14 April 2020, stating ...” ZOO is working with customers and the #dubbing industry to rapidly upscale its existing cloud dubbing services to help established directors and voice artists to make the switch to work-from-home dubbing....” The part about working with customers AND the dubbing industry is very intriguing. Also “to help established directors and voice artists” etc. It could be that the the industry needs Zoos technology. If that is the case, and under the global lockdown situation, how else can content owners get their content dubbed professionally and securely (?) then I would expect Zoo to be awfully busy for the foreseeable and there is the potential that those that switch to Zoodubs for the moment might never go back to the old way.

08:01		tkamp: Zoo's share price is a volatile as ever today. For me personally the investment case for Zoo has changed a lot since I sold out at 135p after the first batch of bad news. Before the bad news this was an exponential growth story for me, with accelerating sales growth and strong margin appreciation. If such a scenario were plausible a share price of 400-500p would have been warranted within 2 years or so. This was also a high-conviction scenario for me, as in that I had high conviction there would be a steep growth trajectory with few hurdles for several years to come. Recently I bought back in at 50p, but with a different story. I now realize it's path to 'greatness' is much less certain and that there are several things holding them back (management should be allocated blame for misrepresenting facts to investors though. e.g. not informing the market about a massive one-off $2.5M deal). I now see 2 scenarios for Zoo: 1. Sluggish, unstable, relatively low growth (e.g. 5-10% p.a.) with margins never reaching their high of 2017 again (2017 EBITDA was 11%). Basically in this scenario profits/cash flows will never be material and the company stand-alone has very little value. The only value in such a scenario would come from a competitor buying it up (presumably at a fairly low price, say 30-40p a share). 2. A positive tail-event takes place that catapults Zoo's growth. In the past such an event was the adoption of ZooSubs by Netflix (preferred vendor standard) that helped double Sub revenues within 12 months. A new such event could be Netflix giving ZooDubs preferred vendor status. If that were to happen the impact would easily be 10x that of the ZooSubs situation as Dubbing is way more expensive than subbing. If ZooDubs gets adopted by Netflix this share will easily surpass previous levels of 160p. Another positive tail-event could be widespread adoption of ZooStudio, or Zoo becoming a top-tier supplier of dubbing for another huge OTT vendor like Disney. I am not sure how likely either scenario is. While in the past I was very bullish I now wouldn't put much more than a 50% probability on scenario 2, probably even lower than that (~30%?). However, the value you would capture in scenario 2 is many times larger than the value you would lose in scenario 1 (e.g. 50% downside vs. 300-500% upside). I also think there is some upside to scenario 1 where maybe sales growth a low rates but margins do recover as Zoo invests less in new products. E.g. if you model 10% sales growth for the next 2 years and assume EBITDA margins reach 12.5% by FY2021 (only 1.5% above FY2017) then you get an EBITDA of $4.4M, which is 11.5x today's EV. Hence Zoo has really become a 'base scenario is negative but Expected Value is positive' type of investment. That's why I no longer have >50% of my portfolio invested in it but instead a much more modest amount (5-10%). If the price goes so low that the value at risk of scenario 1 becomes very low I will be adding more aggressively. PS: Peachie, with all due respect but you're acting like bit of a clown here. Propping up Zoo in every post and then all of a sudden selling out because you cannot handle the volatility? People who whine about short-sellers are people who shouldn't be investing in the first place. If you have conviction in your position you do not care about that, and even use the opportunities short sellers provide you with. The convertible isn't due for another 1.5 years so depressing the price now doesn't damage the actual operations of Zoo (in which, let me remind you, you are actually invested, not just a digital ticker) in any shape or form.
