("ZOO", the "Group" or the "Company")

AGM Statement and Trading Update

ZOO Digital Group plc (AIM: ZOO), a leading provider of end-to-end cloud-based localisation and media services to the global entertainment industry, will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at 5.00pm today. At the meeting, Gillian Wilmot, Chairman, will make the following statement:

"I am thrilled to provide an update ahead of the end of our first half year, building on the positive narrative contained in our preliminary results statement released on the 7^th July 2022.

"Strong momentum has continued across the business as we continue to take share in a growing market, benefitting from our cloud-based platforms, extensive freelancer network and embedded client relationships. With our global scale and end-to-end offering, we are one of the few vendors capable of meeting the requirements of major media companies to take their content to international audiences.

"Revenues for the half year are expected to be at least $51 million (FY22H1: $26.9 million), which equates to growth over the first half of FY22 of at least 89% and in excess of 17% over the second half of FY22 (FY22H2: $43.5 million). Consequently, we expect to deliver a significant increase in EBITDA compared to the comparator period in FY22, benefitting from operational gearing as the business scales. This increased profitability has also translated into a substantial improvement in our cash position, which will support our ambitious growth plans.

"We have scaled our operations to support a significant expansion of capacity for localisation and media services including the new mastering service, and this has been rewarded with an increase in regular monthly orders.

"The regional hubs we have established in strategic international locations have performed better than our expectations and we are expanding their capabilities to meet the demand from our global customers.

"To enable us to fulfil the growing order book arising from our expanding customer relationships, we have continued to recruit additional staff across the Company.

"I would like to thank our shareholders for their continuing support and would also like to extend my thanks to all ZOO colleagues around the world for their commitment and hard work that enables us to delight our customers with industry-leading services and technology for which ZOO has become renowned.

"A strong pipeline of work and excellent customer relationships gives us continued and unwavering confidence in the future, and I look forward to updating shareholders on our progress in due course."
