Progressive Equity Research (July 2022)
“With fresh content the key differentiator of streaming providers, each service is under pressure to add new, high-quality titles to attract and retain viewers. This has driven the volume of original programme production to an all-time high. Market commentator Ampere Analysis reported that global spend on such content reached $220bn in 2021 and is expected to grow strongly in 2022 and beyond. Of this total, around $50bn was estimated to have been spent by major streaming services. By extrapolating the spend on media localisation by Netflix in 2021 and applying the proportion to a $50bn spend by the major players, management estimate the addressable market for media localisation alone is $1.5bn, with the addressable market for media services incremental to this. New geographies are a key driver of growth and a significant contributing factor to the strong performance in the period, with regional launches from ZOO’s clients in Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”

Progressive Equity Research (Aug 2023)
“ZOO has announced FY23 results in line with the guidance given in the recent trading update. Increased market share and the scaling up of its international operations have delivered revenue growth of 28% to $90.3m (FY22: $70.4m),with goodmargin progress and profitability. ZOO’s key growth drivers remain intact, content budgets remain large and the focus by the key streaming playerson monetisation models represents a material opportunity, underpinned by theroll-out of ZOO’s strategic geographic hubs. However, short-term trading has been affected by two temporary market issues: cost cutting among major streaming providers holding back order flows,and the ongoing industry-wide strikes impacting localisation and media services work on new titles.”
