Gentoo Media PLC: Gentoo Media publishes Q4 2025 Interim Report

Revenue for Q4 amounted to EUR 25.6 million, up 13% quarter-over-quarter, impacted by lower sports margins and a more moderate seasonal uplift in December. Underlying commercial performance remained solid, with end-user deposit levels reaching an all-time high above EUR 200 million.

EBITDA before special items reached EUR 14.9 million, reflecting margin expansion from a structurally stronger cost base. Cash flow from operations amounted to EUR 11.5 million in Q4, contributing to full-year operating cash flow of EUR 33 million. During the quarter, EUR 5.5 million of debt was repaid.

Visibility strengthened across traditional search, paid campaigns and emerging AI-driven platforms during the quarter. The underlying optimisation work supporting these channels remains fundamentally aligned, reinforcing the resilience and long-term relevance of Gentoo Media's audience acquisition model.

"While revenue development in 2025 was below our ambitions, we exit the year with a materially stronger and more cash-generative business. We have strengthened margins, improved cash conversion and enhanced the quality of our commercial engine. Gentoo Media enters 2026 from a more stable and scalable foundation, with clear opportunities to deliver sustainable and cash-generative growth."said Jonas Warrer, CEO of Gentoo Media.

Refinancing update

In late January Gentoo Media initiated a refinancing process of its existing bond.  The net proceeds are intended to repay the current Bond and RCF facility. 
Management and the Board of Directors are currently evaluating whether the potential new bond terms are attractive for Gentoo Media and its shareholders compared with alternative financing options. More information will follow in due course.
