Mirriad Advertising — Pulling out of China, progress in the US

Mirriad’s decision to exit the Chinese market, following weaker than expected trading and restructuring of the Tencent contract, is a clear setback and we adjust our estimates accordingly. Nevertheless, the opportunity in North America dwarves all other markets, and here the company reports good progress. We look to see evidence of new partners being signed up and the progression of existing ones towards revenue generation to demonstrate that the company is still well placed to monetise its IP and platform.

China retrenchment

Mirriad’s trading update flagged that revenues are expected to be flat year-on-year at £2m in FY22 (Edison estimate was £3.3m), which is attributed largely to weakness in China. As a result, the company will wind down its Chinese operation in time for the end of the Tencent contract, in March 2023. This process will reduce costs by £1m pa with a cost control programme expected to deliver an additional £1.5m in savings by end FY23.

US remains the main opportunity – good progress

The company continues to make good progress with multiple partners in the key North American region, where the total advertising market is estimated to be worth $378bn (Zenith), more than China, Japan, UK, Germany and France combined ($234bn). Management reports receiving an increasing number of substantial RFPs and inbound enquiries. Heightened competition in the streaming market has increased the imperative for media companies to find new monetisation streams, and the addition of non-interruptive, in-content advertising is an obvious route to achieve this. On top of the large, vertically integrated media players, the collaboration with Magnite should start to contribute revenues from the programmatic advertising ecosystem late in the year or early next year.

Valuation: Success in the US the catalyst for upside

Our revised estimates are overleaf with Chinese revenues pulled back significantly, and a cautionary cut to FY22 revenues from other regions, but unchanged in FY23. Costs are also brought down, although not enough to offset profit at the EBITDA level and further funds will be required in the next 12 months to support growth (which was the case before this estimate revision). With limited visibility, traditional multiples are unhelpful. However, we do believe that with good execution Mirriad’s opportunity can support a valuation significantly above the current level. We will look to see announcements of new partners and evidence of progression with existing partners as the key data points to demonstrate that the company is still well placed to monetise its IP and platform.

H1 financial performance

H1 revenues were £577k, down from £1,137 last year. Revenues from China dropped £820k year-on-year to £123k, with COVID-19 lockdowns creating significant weakness in the advertising market, while the restructured agreement with Tencent removed the guaranteed minimum payment threshold.

US revenue grew by 57% to £418k, with a much stronger H2 expected driven by seasonal strength and further progression of the sales pipeline.

Cash at the end of the period was £17.7m (June 2021: £29.8m), which was better than management’s expectations due to cost savings and below budget bonus provisions.

Estimate changes

Our estimate changes are shown below. Given the lack of visibility, these are clearly illustrative rather than definitive. Our revenue estimate for 2022 reflects the shortfall in China, plus a cautionary reduction in other regions, reflecting the duration of the commercialisation cycle. For 2023, the downgrade to our revenue forecast reflects the significant reduction in revenues from China, with other regions unchanged.

Our cost estimates reflect the managed wind down of the Chinese operations, expected to release £1m of savings per annum once complete, together with a broader cost reduction programme expected to reduce costs by a further £1.5m per annum by the end of next year, although this will be somewhat offset by senior hires in the expensive US market.

Our estimates indicate that the group will still have around £8.5m of cash by the year-end (materially unchanged from our previous estimate) but would need to look for additional funding during FY23. If the business executes to plan, we would anticipate that management would be able to announce multiple commercial milestones over the course of the next six to 12 months to give investors confidence in Mirriad’s ability to monetise its IP and platform.
