Neutral

-12.00%

Market share gains boosted the FY24 EBITDA for Southern Cross Media, underwriting a better-than-expected result according to Macquarie.

A $30m cost out offset inflation pressures for the company. Management reconfirmed focus on "All About Radio" with a restart of a strategic review of TV assets. Market share moved to 27.9% in 2H24m, a record high since 2019.

The analyst observes radio audiences are at an all-time higher; radio accounts for 34% of total media consumption and only 8% of advertising spend.

EPS forecasts are revised by 240% and 257% in FY25/FY26, respectively, the broker highlights, including better market share, lower operating expenses and depreciation/amortisation charges.

Target price is reduced -10% to 55c. Neutral rating maintained.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 4.60 cents and EPS of 7.10 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 4.70 cents and EPS of 7.30 cents.

Canaccord Genuity notes strong growth in Southern Cross Media's Digital Audio division in Q1, with audio revenue rising by 4.8% year-on-year, including 48% growth in digital audio and a 1.1% increase in broadcast radio.

Regional TV revenue declined by -12%, and the division remains under consideration for a sale, with proceeds expected to reduce debt, highlight the analysts.

Management has maintained its FY25 cost guidance, with operating expenses below -$308.4m and capital expenditure capped at -$10m.

With digital audio now accounting for an increased share of revenue, the broker sees significant potential for future growth driven by this segment.

Canaccord Genuity retains a Buy rating and a target price of 96c.

Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 5.50 cents and EPS of 8.00 cents.
