NetMedia Group: EBITDA Quadrupled, but Revenue Down by 19%
NetMedia Group confirmed on Thursday a clear improvement in its operational situation for the fiscal year 2025: EBITDA increased fourfold to 1.02 million euros and operating income surged to 0.85 million euros. This profitability rebound occurred in a context of strategic restructuring that led the group to reduce its revenue by 19% to 16.4 million euros, reflecting the deliberate discontinuation of unprofitable activities and a reallocation of resources. This raises questions about the future viability of this proclaimed growth trajectory.
Financial Performance in 2025
The group reported an EBITDA of 1.02 million euros for 2025, up by 759,000 euros from 259,000 euros in 2024. This improvement was driven by a 23% reduction in operational expenses, from 20.045 million euros to 15.385 million euros. Operating income (EBIT) reached 850,000 euros, up from 105,000 euros in 2024, an increase of 745,000 euros. Meanwhile, consolidated revenue fell by 3.9 million euros to 16.403 million euros. The group explained that this decrease reflects 'voluntary arbitrations' with the targeted discontinuation of unprofitable activities and a reallocation of its resources towards higher-value offerings. International sales accounted for 22% of the annual revenue.
Equity and Financial Results
The group's equity saw a significant increase to 1.99 million euros as of December 31, 2025, up from 591,000 euros a year earlier, including proceeds from a capital increase carried out in March 2025 amounting to 2.43 million euros. The net result attributable to the group was -1.013 million euros for 2025, an improvement of 711,000 euros compared to the previous year (-1.724 million euros in 2024). This improvement was tempered by a negative exceptional result of -1.353 million euros, mainly incorporating restructuring costs. The group's financial debt stood at 4.79 million euros (compared to 4.25 million euros in 2024) and cash holdings at 1.18 million euros, bringing the net debt to 3.60 million euros.
Entering a New Development Phase
NetMedia Group announces its entry into a new phase of development, based on a model refocused around three key assets: its proprietary communities of decision-makers, its qualified first-party data capital, and its Data and Artificial Intelligence solutions platform. The group highlighted that it underwent a 'structural overhaul' in 2025 and claims to approach 2026 with 'an optimized and refocused model' and 'identified growth levers'. The management intends to continue the deployment of its solutions platform and capitalize on its strategic assets to support a growth trajectory. No numerical guidance is provided for 2026. The complete financial report will be published on April 20, 2026.
