My interpretation of our last meeting review was that Disney have changed how they issue orders therefore Zoo were unable to confirm Q4 due to their current reliance on revenue associated with Disney. However they both remained confident of hitting 58-60 million24-25.
Also intermated that Disney 22-23 accounted for 70% of their order book now with a growing reputation and additions of new customers Netflix , Amazon, Paramount to name a few there reliance on Disney has been reducing, I remember them advising that Disney currently accounts for 40% Revenue. I think once we see a steady growth projection , with profits the share price will recover. The last two meeting's are on their web site and worth a watch.

Just finished the update , the 25% drop in share price was triggered by one retail share sale that triggered stop losses until the bottom was reached. Personally lots of good information customer base growing and sales have been shared across more customer than just one customer ( Disney) I feel more confident after sitting through the update very positive.

Pretty normal, hopefully they are now progressing well as things have settled down!
"The streaming industry continues its transition following strategic realignments and the strikes of 2023. Recent months have witnessed the early stages of recovery as major US media organisations have enacted their plans to adjust for a future in which traditional linear television plays a diminishing role. While many productions that resumed following the strikes have since been completed and distributed to global audiences, changes made in the mix of content types acquired and capital allocation policies, which are more strategic in nature, will take a longer period to yield results and restore levels of industry output to those seen in 2022, particularly in Hollywood.

"Against this backdrop ZOO has seen a strong recovery in its pipeline over the first half of FY25 and expects to deliver sales in the period of at least $27 million, equating to a 28% increase over the equivalent prior year period and 42% up on the previous half. As previously stated, the Board expects EBITDA profit in the first half.

"Market participants anticipate the industry's recovery continuing until late 2025 which is consistent with the indications ZOO has been provided by its customers.

"The Board continues to be confident that the changes arising from the realignment of ZOO's major customers will, in due course, be favourable for the Group. These include accelerated transition to an end-to-end approach with fewer, more capable suppliers; an increasingly diverse mix of original international content with a shift to episodic over feature titles; and greater dependence on ZOO's software platforms, all of which will be advantageous to the Group.

"The Company continues to manage its cash position carefully whilst protecting production capability and capacity to satisfy the demand of its customers. As a result, the unaudited cash balance as at 30 September 2024 is expected to exceed $2 million.

"Visibility extends only to January 2025, as is normally the case for the ZOO business, however, the Board expects further profitable progress that will put us on track to meet market guidance for the full year ending 31 March 2025."

Investors' view of AI with respect to different firms seems highly subjective - is it perceived as a threat or an opportunity?

ZOO see it as an opportunity -

'The recent advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models have rightly brought the focus on their potential impact and, indeed, opportunities for businesses. As an innovator in its sector, ZOO has been actively working with AI technologies for many years and has developed tools to provide automated assistance to our established practices. The Board believes the Company will benefit from the advantages that AI can bring over the long term. We plan to publish a formal whitepaper in October 2024 on our approach in this field. '

If ZOO becomes perceived as benefitting from AI then this would certainly be a positive. ZOO clients have taken some time to accept the more technological approach and you might expect it to be the same for AI. ZOO is the disruptor in its sector - leveraging technology to provide a better, faster and cost effective proposition - AI is thus a good fit.

I'm looking forward to seeing this White Paper.

MIDAS SHARE TIPS UPDATE: Zoo Digital proves perfect sequel to Netflix: Firm helps streaming giant translate shows into dozens of languages

By JOANNE HART, FINANCIAL MAIL ON SUNDAY

UPDATED: 12:16, 25 October 2022

Netflix has had a rollercoaster year. Having been an American stock market darling, the stock tumbled when subscription rates went into reverse in early 2022.

Now, they are on the rise again. Last week, the firm reported a record 223million paid subscribers with several million more expected to sign up before the year end.

Once, Netflix was the only streaming service in town. Today, competition is fierce, as Disney+, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime and a host of others battle for viewers' wallets.

Increasingly, they do so by producing their own shows, hits such as Squid Game or Ted Lasso, only available on the network that created them, but streamed to subscribers around the world.

Zoo Digital helps to make it all happen. The firm has pioneered a way of using software to allow films and series to be translated into dozens of different languages, so audiences from Kathmandu to Sao Paulo can watch whatever they fancy in their local tongue.

Chief executive Stuart Green has amassed a network of 10,000 freelance language specialists, including subtitle creators, dubbing experts, voice actors and directors. Using Zoo's kit, they can work from home, with just a computer, internet connection and, in the case of actors, basic recording equipment.

The ease of the process – and the quality of the work – have allowed Sheffield-based Zoo to build relationships with all the streaming giants, including Disney+, which is behind the unexpectedly popular series Welcome To Wrexham, now available in dozens of languages.

Last month, Zoo said business was brisk, with first half sales expected to increase almost 90 per cent to $51million (£45million) and plenty of new contracts on the books.

Brokers expect full year revenues of $95million for the year to March 2023, with profits more than doubling to $6.9million and further strong increases pencilled in for the year ending March 2024.

Green is ambitious too, targeting annual sales of $400million by 2030, with profits rising sharply alongside. The target seems well within reach. The big beasts of streaming are battling it out to produce the best shows and the more languages they are translated into, the more subscribers they can reach.

Independent analysis suggests that the translation and localisation services market for media companies should double in size to $3billion a year by 2030, and Zoo is a leader in the field.

Midas verdict: Midas recommended Zoo in January 2021 when the shares were 79p. Now they are £1.43 and brokers believe they should reach £2.50 within the next year or two. A strong hold, at the very least.

That already got priced in, as did the start of the recovery. What matters to the share price direction now is current trading and near term expectations. Those will be the aspects of the results statement that will drive sentiment and determine the next share price level. All kind of obvious really.
