Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the everplay group plc Half Year Results Investor Presentation. [Operator Instructions]
Before we begin, we would like to submit the following poll. And if you give that your kind attention, I’m sure the company would be most grateful. And I would now like to hand you over to the executive management team from everplay group plc. Frank, good afternoon, sir.
Frank Sagnier
Group Interim Executive Chair
Good morning, and welcome to everplay interim results presentation. I am Frank Sagnier, Exec Chair. I am here with my colleagues, Rashid Varachia, CFO and COO; and James Targett, our IR.
Let’s start straight away. We’ve had a strong — we’re waiting for a strong full year. The key headline for today. H1 revenue was solid with good performance from new releases and back catalog. We expect H2 to be stronger than H1, thanks to more new releases, a stronger back catalog during the Christmas period, as you would expect, and a number of licensed deals, some of them already signed.
In terms of EBITDA, we delivered GBP 19.2 million, thanks to improved margins. This is due to a product mix with packaged goods in a much lower proportion. We are delighted to pay our shareholders a 1p per share dividend for H1. We continue to generate cash, helping our M&A ambitions and allowing those dividends. Most importantly, we are well positioned for future organic growth, thanks to our doubling down on first-party IP, strong back catalog, new revenue streams, including more back catalog republishing and we will continue to actively look for accretive M&A to accelerate that
