London (pta029/31.03.2015/17:24 UTC+2) March 31st 2015 Your Board announces the Group's unaudited interim results for the half-year ended 31st December 2014. These results are the consolidated unaudited accounts of Universal Outdoor Group Plc (the "Group"). The Group's turnover was £2,686,391 (up over 400% on the same period last year), with profit before tax of £189,056 compared to a loss for the same period last year of £288,587. The Company has reached a milestone in its development by delivering its maiden set of profitable results.
Your Board has during the period successfully executed its stated strategy of growth through acquisition and has successfully integrated its media acquisitions' to date.
Following the end of the period the Group made a disposal of its investment in Instant Business Limited for £250,000. The Company (Instant Business Ltd) during the period had run into financial issues. Therefore your Board decided to dispose of its interest in the Company since the business was only a 60% subsidiary, was non-core to the Group strategy, was loss making and we didn't have any day to day management involvement or control.
CEO Dominic Brookman commented: "2014 was a key year in the development of our business where we have been focussed on integrating the media assets we have acquired, investing in new screen media hardware and growing the revenue in both local and national advertising sales. Going into 2015 we are confident of continued growth, profit and delivering positive shareholder returns."
