Zoo Digital Group plc (AIM: ZOO), the Sheffield-headquartered tech-enabled localisation and digital media services provider to the global media and entertainment industry, has published corrected interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2026, following a revision to several financial figures in the original announcement released earlier the same day. The corrections reduced H1 FY27 Adjusted EBITDA to $3.5 million from $3.6 million, Operating Profit to $1.4 million from $1.5 million, and Reported Profit Before Tax to $1.2 million from $1.3 million. Despite the minor restatement, the results themselves point to a materially improved trading performance, with revenue rising 5.5% year-on-year and the company swinging from an operating loss to an operating profit.

Zoo Digital's Corrected H1 FY27 Figures and What Changed

The replacement announcement, published on 10 November 2026, corrected specific entries in the Summary of Results and Financial Highlights tables. Adjusted EBITDA moved from $3.6 million to $3.5 million, Operating Profit from $1.5 million to $1.4 million, and Reported Profit Before Tax from $1.3 million to $1.2 million. Within Financial Highlights, Cash EBITDA was revised to $1.9 million from $2.1 million, and Current Liabilities were corrected to $14.1 million from $14.2 million. All other details in the original announcement were stated as remaining unchanged, the company confirmed.

Localisation Revenue Surges 46% as Media Services Decline Offsets Growth

Underlying the corrected figures, Zoo Digital's localisation segment delivered revenue of $16.7 million in H1 FY27, up 46% from $11.4 million a year earlier, driven by high demand for reformatting existing catalogue content into new territories and languages. Media services revenue fell 37% to $6.9 million from $11.0 million in H1 FY26, primarily reflecting structural changes within the Group's largest customer, whose share of total revenues dropped sharply from 55% in H1 FY26 to 26% in H1 FY27. Total sales excluding the largest customer increased by 72%, indicating meaningful diversification of Zoo Digital's revenue base across its studio and streaming service relationships.

Fast Track and 7-Day Dub Drive Technology Differentiation for ZOO

Zoo Digital highlighted two proprietary service offerings as key competitive differentiators. Its Fast Track service — covering live and near-live localisation as well as accelerated delivery on standard projects — accounted for 38% of H1 FY27 revenue, up sharply from 4% in full-year FY26. The company's 7-Day Dub service compresses a standard dubbing process that traditionally takes four to six weeks with conventional vendors down to just seven days, utilising the Group's AI-embedded workflows and globally distributed teams operating across nine territories. The external quality score was maintained at 99.9% across the period, consistent with H1 FY26.

Board Confident on FY27 Outlook Despite Limited Revenue Visibility

Zoo Digital's Board stated it remains confident of delivering a return to revenue growth and profit progression for the full year FY27 in line with market expectations, which the company disclosed as consensus revenue of $43.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $4.1 million, and gross cash of $2.1 million. However, the Board acknowledged that H1 benefitted from certain one-off catalogue projects not assumed to recur in H2, and that the company continues to have limited revenue visibility. Gross cash at the period end stood at $3.4 million, with $1.9 million drawn on the US invoice financing facility against a total facility of $5.0 million.
