Ebiquity has delivered strong first half results, with 7% organic revenue growth boosted to a 16% gain including acquisitions. An increasing proportion of revenues from the higher-margin digital media solutions and rigorous control of costs in the existing business drove a substantial uplift in underlying operating margins from 7.1% in H121 to 13.3% in H122. Full year results are expected to be in line with market expectations and we have reinstated FY22 and FY23 forecasts including the H122 acquisitions. The shares have outperformed peers and the sector, but the valuation remains at a discount.

Industry outlook
Google’s withdrawal of support for third-party cookies from FY23 and increased regulatory scrutiny of privacy considerations mean that the digital media ecosystem is both extremely complex and in transition. The need for advertisers to be guided to navigate, while optimising and benchmarking their spend, is unlikely to diminish, with harsher economic circumstances also driving greater emphasis on the return on spend.
