LBG Media, the social entertainment group behind the LADbible network, has revealed a small dip in profits after publishing its full-year results for the 12 months to the end of September 2025.
The Manchester-headquartered business reported a 7 per cent increase in total group revenue of £92.2m – compared to £86.2 in 2024.
Over the same period, profit before tax slipped 3 per cent from £14.5m in 2024 to £14m in 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents increased 13 per cent to £30.8m and the group has no debt, supporting ‘selective acquisitions’ where there is a ‘compelling strategic fit’.
The board remains confident of growth in 2026, reflecting LBG Media’s appeal to young adults through its content.
CEO Solly Solomou said: “2025 was an important step forward for us as we build a scalable, compounding model that drives predictable revenue growth.
“This is centred around our market leadership with young adults, AI and data advantage, repeatable IP and our US platform.
“We have made excellent progress in the US, the world’s largest advertising market which is a multiplier for our growth.
“We now have three clients in the US exceeding $1m revenues with a healthy pipeline of near-term opportunities.
“We are accelerating our investment to make the most of our healthy pipeline and the opportunity from major brands who are looking to our scale, content and appeal to reach young adults.
“Our strong cash generation supports this investment and also selective add-on acquisitions where we see a compelling strategic fit.
“Our positive momentum in our direct revenue streams, progress in the US, strong pipeline and audience engagement support the board’s confidence of further progress in FY26.”
LBG Media’s brands include LADbible, UNILAD, Betches and SPORTbible.
In May, Harry Stebbings, founder of Twenty VC and The Twenty Minute VC, joined as non-executive director.
LBG Media is listed on the AIM market and its share price is currently 86.29p – giving it a market cap of £191m.
