Alter Ego Media presented its financial results for the year 2025 to the investment community, along with the Group’s updated strategic growth plan.
Key points and business strategy:
• Transformation into a Media & Entertainment Group: According to CEO Yannis Vrentzos, Alter Ego Media is evolving into a diversified media and entertainment group. The goal is to leverage content, expanded audiences, data, and targeted acquisitions to create a scalable growth platform with multiple revenue streams.
• The four pillars of growth: The Group’s future operations will be based on print and digital publishing, television and radio broadcasting, content creation, and live entertainment.
• Utilization of IPO Proceeds: The Group announced the successful completion of the distribution of net proceeds totaling €50.8 million raised from its initial public offering (IPO) on the Euronext Athens stock exchange. The majority of these funds were directed toward strategic investments and acquisitions, such as Newsit and Tlife, Stages Network, as well as the acquisition of a 50.1% stake in the more.gr platform. At the same time, through the investment arm Alter Ego Ventures, investments were made in Couch Heroes, Spotawheel, and Alterlife.
• The importance of Live Entertainment and the more.gr platform: The live entertainment sector is expected to contribute 25% of the Group’s consolidated profitability in the coming years. A key role is played by the acquisition of a 50.1% stake in more.gr, which has 1.85 million registered users and 3.8 million monthly visitors, creating a large-scale direct-to-consumer platform that generates strong synergies with the Group’s media assets.
• Strategic entry into streaming (ANT1+): The Group is positioning itself strongly in the Greek subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) market through an agreement to acquire a 33.3% stake in the company that currently operates the ANT1+ platform, betting on the convergence of television, OTT services, and digital content distribution.
Financial Outlook and Guidance for 2026:
The Group’s management expressed optimism regarding the financial performance for the 2026 fiscal year, setting the following targets:
• Increase consolidated revenue by more than 20%.
• Increase consolidated EBITDA by 25%, which is estimated to reach €67 million.
• Further improvement of EBIT and net profit margins, as a result of the growing contribution of digital activities and the live entertainment sector.
The integration of recent acquisitions, the optimal utilization of the film library and intellectual property rights, as well as the execution of new acquisitions with expected value accretion, constitute the key pillars for creating long-term value for shareholders over the next three years.
