Prelim FINAL for Printing and Website
ITV plc preliminary results for the year ended 31st December 2010 – Transformation Plan gathers momentum – – Good progress in rebuilding the ITV senior team and delivery on the first phase of the Transformation Plan – Total external revenues up 10% to £2,064m (2009: £1,879m) – ITV has outperformed the television advertising market by 1% up 16% – EBITA before exceptional items has doubled to £408m (2009: £202m) driven by the strong recovery in the advertising market and the continued focus on reducing costs – Adjusted earnings per share increased to 6.4p (2009: 1.8p) – Net debt has reduced significantly to £188m (2009: £612m) providing a sound financial platform for the future – ITV Studios profits have declined to £81m (2009: £91m) - emphasising the need for creative renewal already identified – ITV Family advertising revenues are expected to be up by 12% in Q1 but comparatives become increasingly tough from Q2 onwards – The Board intends to restore the payment of a dividend at the interim results in July 2011 Adam Crozier, ITV plc Chief Executive, said: “Last year we set out a comprehensive five year plan for the transformation of ITV. In this first phase, our outperformance of the television advertising market - together with the actions taken to reduce the Group’s cost base and the focus on cash generation – have delivered substantial debt reduction and a sound financial platform for the challenges ahead. “But whilst the recovery in television advertising is clearly very helpful, it also serves to remind us just how volatile this market can be. That is why we remain fully focussed on delivering our five year Transformation Plan to ensure that we have a more balanced and robust business going forward.

One of the central characters is Annie Quaintain, played by Jessica Raine (For$tude, Wolf Hall, Call the Midwife), a woman who refuses to let tragedy deﬁne her. Shaered by her husband’s death and penniless as he has gambled away everything they owned, Annie is turfed out of her home and shunned by former friends and neighbours. Together with her two teenage children, Annie leaves for Jericho in the hopes of re-building their lives. Disembarking from the train at the end of the line, they carry their meagre possessions across a wild terrain.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Amanda Abbington Miss Mardle in Mr
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Amanda Abbington Miss Mardle in Mr. Selfridge Season 2 and Mary Morstan in Sherlock, Season 3 Beloved by PBS viewers as Jason Isaac’s destined love match in Case Histories, Series 1 on MYSTERY!, Amanda Abbington plays another romantically starved protagonist in Mr. Selfridge— namely the kind-hearted, cruelly exploited head of accessories, Miss Mardle. She also stars in Sherlock, Season 3 as Mary, the surprisingly complicated nurse/lover who is getting Martin Freeman’s Dr. Watson over the trauma of Sherlock’s supposed suicide. She previously worked with Freeman on the British television filmMen Only in 2000, and the two have been in close touch ever since. Amanda’s recent British TV credits include the one-off comedy Joe Mistry, the gritty drama series Postcode, and the supernatural soap opera Being Human, in which she played a vampire. Amanda is much admired in the UK for her starring role in the critically acclaimed comedy series Married Single Other, which aired in 2010. Poirot fans remember her as the voodoo-doll-making arts teacher, Miss Blake, in Cat Among the Pigeons, which aired on MYSTERY! in 2009. Jeremy Piven Harry Gordon Selfridge in Mr. Selfridge Chicago native Jeremy Piven stars as fellow Chicagoan Harry Gordon Selfridge in MASTERPIECE’s series about the mercantile genius who showed early 20th-century London how to shop. Among his many notable roles, Piven is best known as movie agent Ari Gold in the hit series Entourage, which aired for eight seasons and won Piven three Emmy® Awards and a Golden Globe®. The Entourage feature film, which will be produced by Warner Brothers, will start production in February in Los Angeles.

11 May 2011 ITV Plc Interim Management Statement Further
11 May 2011 ITV plc Interim Management Statement Further progress in five-year Transformation Plan ITV has published the following Q1 interim management statement in advance of the Company’s Annual General Meeting to be held at 11 am today. Group revenues up 11% to £500m in Q1 (2010: £450m), driven by positive television advertising market ITV television advertising up 12% in Q1, ahead of the market up 10% Strong onscreen viewing performance with ITV1 share of viewing up 3%, digital channels up 11% and ITV Family up 4% for the four months to the end of April ITV Studios external revenues up 7% to £64m in Q1 (2010: £60m), driven by stronger international performance Net debt increased slightly to £197m (31st December 2010 - £188m) due to the timing of tax and pension payments offsetting underlying cash generation ITV NAR up 6% in April, and as expected likely to be down in May and June against a background of tough World Cup comparators and current economic conditions. Advertising revenues in first half forecast to be up between 1% and 2% Adam Crozier, ITV plc Chief Executive, said: “The continuing volatility in the TV advertising market underlines the need for us to keep firmly focussed on our five year Transformation Plan. While we are still in the early stages, the foundations are now being put in place for a more balanced, creatively dynamic and robust business. “We have had a positive start to the year, outperforming the TV advertising market in Q1 with advertising revenues up by 12%. We expected that the ad market in Q2 would be difficult given the very tough comparators and the continued economic uncertainty and - while this has proved to be the case - we still expect to see an increase in ad revenues for the first half of the year.
