STV Group PLC - Glasgow-based television broadcaster and content producer expects annual operating profit of GBP20 million in 2023, which would be a 21% drop from GBP25.3 million achieved in 2022. Says this is the result of "weak national TV advertising in [the fourth quarter] and the related effect on the rate of commissioning in Studios".
Chief Executive Officer Simon Pitts says: STV continues to make strong strategic progress despite a challenging linear advertising and commissioning market impacted by ongoing economic uncertainty in the UK...We remain confident in our future growth prospects, with a strong content line-up on STV and STV Player, a compelling pipeline of new programme ideas across the expanded STV Studios, and a clear growth strategy, ensuring that we are well placed for the economic recovery when it comes."
