Positive ratings momentum combined with Nine’s focus on the 25-54 demographic is translating to improved revenue share in Free To Air (FTA) television. In Digital, 9Now is experiencing strong revenue and profit growth as the business continues to mature and the Digital Publishing business has reported accelerating growth in revenues and EBITDA, driven by video- led content and based around the key verticals of News, Sport, Entertainment and Lifestyle. Stan has passed through the milestone of 1 million subscribers and remains focussed on building a long term competitive and profitable SVOD business. During the year, Nine has challenged the paradigm – trialling new content, investing in new distribution platforms and creating new ways to engage with its audiences and advertisers. The progress has been tangible. RESULT IN BRIEF In FY18, NEC reported Group EBITDA of $257 million, up 25% on FY17, driven by a 6% increase in Group revenues. Nine increased its share of a Free To Air market which returned to growth over the year, underpinning the result. Importantly for the future of the business, Nine’s FTA growth was augmented by strong growth in 9Now and Digital Publishing.
