Brave Bison Group plc
("Brave Bison", "the Group" or "the Company")
Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020
Brave Bison Group plc (AIM: BBSN), the social video group, today
announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30
June 2020.
Highlights
-- Reduction in revenue to GBP5.5 million (H1 2019: GBP10.1
million) and loss before tax of GBP1.4 million (H1 2019: GBP1.2
million) as the Group contended with the challenges of the COVID-19
pandemic
-- Appropriate action has been taken swiftly, with annualised
cost savings of GBP1.1 million implemented to date. One off
restructuring costs of GBP0.6 million (H1 2019: GBP0.4 million)
have been incurred.
-- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was a loss of GBP0.4 million (H1 2019:
positive adjusted EBITDA of GBP0.2 million). There is an improved
outlook on the back of a better than anticipated recovery from June
2020, and given the cost savings the Group is now forecasting to be
breakeven on an EBITDA basis in the second half of the year
-- The Group is now led by a new management team and Board
following the appointment of Oliver Green as Executive Chairman,
Philippa Norridge as Chief Financial Officer and Matthew Law as
Non-Executive Director
-- Cash balance as at 30 June 2020 of GBP2.1 million (30 June
2019: GBP3.7 million) and no borrowings
-- Acquisition and successful integration of certain assets of
The Hook Group Limited ("The Hook"), one of the largest
youth-focussed media groups with over 14 million followers across
social media including almost 1 million followers on TikTok
-- Significant client wins during the period, including
Panasonic, World Dodgeball Federation, IMV Box, Media Star Maker
and Viral Press.
-- Successful revenue diversification across social platforms
with content now distributed across Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook,
Instagram and YouTube
Oliver Green, Executive Chairman, commented:
"The COVID-19 pandemic presented us with a number of commercial
and operational challenges which we have dealt with swiftly and
effectively. We have a new management team in place, and cost
savings have been made to reduce losses. Improved trading in June
and July has meant that we now anticipate the Group will breakeven
in the second half of the year on an EBITDA basis.
In 2019 we were heavily dependent on Facebook advertising
revenue, which cost us when our pages were de-monetised last year.
Although most of our Facebook pages have since been remonetised,
this year we have increased our diversification, with Snapchat and
YouTube now responsible for a larger proportion of our advertising
revenue.
Positively, the pandemic has forced a number of advertisers to
expedite their shift in spend away from traditional channels, such
as TV, and towards digital and social advertising, a trend we are
well placed to capitalise on."

interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation and after add
back of costs related to restructuring and share based
payments.
Operating Review
Our advertising business faced challenges in the period. The two
factors that drive revenue are the volume and the value of
advertising. The volume is reflected in the number of views (or
page sessions) that our media properties receive from users that
come to watch our content. The value is the price paid by
advertisers to reach these users during each session, measured in
CPM, or cost per thousand views.
Firstly, we experienced significant reductions in CPMs,
primarily in April and May, as advertisers reduced spend in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondly, we experienced lower
revenues from Facebook as a result of the de-monetisation of our
pages last year; most of these pages have now been remonetised but
we are experiencing lower revenues than previously.
The value of advertising has improved in June and July, ahead of
our expectations, and we are now benefitting from increased watch
time as viewers are spending more time at home. Furthermore, our
diversification strategy has proven successful and Snapchat
revenues performed particularly well during the crisis, boosting
our operating margins. We have a strong relationship with the
social platforms, and they have supported us well during the period
by introducing a number of new revenue-generating advertising
products to capitalise on increased engagement from audiences.
Our creative services business was adversely impacted by the
pandemic and we saw a number of projects and campaigns paused in
the APAC region from the start of the year. Marketing budgets were
reduced and the lockdowns made it difficult to deliver projects
already committed. We acted swiftly to trim our cost base although
our core talent remains in place and primed for new business. We
are expecting a number of delayed projects to kick off in the
second half of the year, and foresee a recovery in the APAC region,
particularly with the build-up to the Olympic Games next year.
We acquired The Hook, a leading youth entertainment brand, in
April of this year, which has bolstered our presence on key social
platforms including Instagram and TikTok. Advertisers have shown a
strong appetite for Millennial and Gen Z audiences, and so this
acquisition has enabled us to expand our relationships with brands
and key media agencies. As part of the integration, we have
restructured our content team and established a new development
team to focus on social-first original series which we will
distribute across all social platforms, as well as our own
websites. We will monetise these series through brand sponsorships
and programmatic advertising served via the social platforms.
We have refreshed our Board over the past six months, appointing
a new Executive Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and Non-Executive
Director, and streamlined the senior management team.
Financial Review
Total revenue for the period was GBP5.5 million, a decrease of
45% compared to the equivalent period last year (H1 2019: GBP10.1
million). The majority of this decrease was due to the reduction in
revenue from Facebook advertising to GBP1.7 million (H1 2019:
GBP4.2 million) as a result of the change in their content policy
and subsequent de-monetisation of our pages part way through
2019.
Revenues were also lower in our APAC-based creative services
business, totalling GBP1.1m (H1 2019: GBP3.6m), as marketing
budgets were reduced and the lockdowns made it difficult to deliver
projects.
Conversely, Snapchat advertising revenues showed a strong
increase, generating revenues of GBP0.5 million (H1 2019: GBPnil)
from four commissioned shows.
Administrative expenses have reduced by 27% to GBP2.6 million
(H1 2019: GBP3.6 million). A significant portion of this is due to
a reduction in staff costs, and we have also negotiated favourable
payment terms with a number of suppliers.
Headcount has decreased to 55 (30 June 2019: 70). Restructuring
costs in H1 2020 of GBP0.6 million (H1 2019: GBP0.4 million) relate
to changes made to the senior management, APAC and publishing
teams.
The Group had GBP2.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at 30
June 2020 ( 30 June 2019: GBP3.7 million ) and no overdraft or
other borrowings. Cash outflows from operations increased to GBP2.2
million in the period (H1 2019: GBP1.5 million outflow).
Outlook
Streamlining our management team has allowed us to make
substantial cost savings, which, when coupled with increased
trading levels in June and July, has improved the outlook for the
Group.
We remain acquisitive and are pursuing opportunities to expand
the Group, with a number of early stage discussions ongoing. The
pandemic has left many businesses exposed and we note that private
market valuations have begun to come down. Our strategy of
combining advertising and creative services means we have a
particular interest in acquiring profitable digital and social
marketing businesses, as well as high-growth media assets and
social communities.
We continue to adapt to an exciting as well as challenging
environment and look forward to the years ahead with confidence.
I'd like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Board, to thank
all our staff for their contribution and dedication to the Group's
continued progress.
On behalf of the Board

Executive Chairman

BRAVE BISON GROUP PLC
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2019
1 General information
The information for the year ended 31 December 2019 does not
constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 435 of the
Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts has been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on
those accounts: their report was unqualified, did not draw
attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a
statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial statements have not been audited or reviewed
by the Group's auditor.
2 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of Brave Bison Group plc are
prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed set of financial statements included in this half
yearly report has been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by
the European Union.
The interim statement has been prepared on a going concern
basis, which assumes that the Group will be able to meet its
liabilities for the foreseeable future. The Group is dependent for
its working capital requirements on cash generated from operations,
cash holdings and from equity markets. The cash holdings of the
Group at 30 June 2020 were GBP2.1 million.
The Directors have prepared detailed cash flow projections ("the
Projections") which are based on their current expectations of
trading prospects. The board forecasts that the Group will achieve
positive cash inflows in 2021 and has sufficient cash on hand to
reach that goal. Accordingly, the Directors have concluded that it
is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing these financial statements. The Directors are confident
that the Group's forecasts are achievable, and are committed to
taking any actions available to them to ensure that any shortfall
in forecast revenues is mitigated by cost savings.
The Directors have looked at the potential impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic, and have prepared scenario plans, including
looking at recovery in Q4, and the impact of a potential second
wave of the pandemic. They remain confident that the Group has
sufficient cash resources for a period of at least one year even in
the downside scenario. The Directors have already taken mitigating
actions around reducing capital expenditure and negotiating with
suppliers, and are confident that they have identified cost saving
actions to mitigate any impact this may have in revenue. We also
have business continuity plans in place around home working and
content production. Accordingly the going concern basis of
accounting has been adopted in preparing these interim financial
statements.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this condensed
set of consolidated financial statements are the same as those
applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at
and for the year ended 31 December 2019 excepted as noted
below.
Adoption of new and revised standards
The Group has adopted the new accounting pronouncements which
have become effective this year, and are as follows:
Update to IFRS 16 "Leases"
The changes in Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to
IFRS 16) amend IFRS 16 to
-- provide lessees with an exemption from assessing whether a
COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification;
-- require lessees that apply the exemption to account for
COVID-19-related rent concessions as if they were not lease
modifications;
-- require lessees that apply the exemption to disclose that fact; and
-- require lessees to apply the exemption retrospectively in
accordance with IAS 8, but not require them to restate prior period
figures.
Other pronouncements
Other accounting pronouncements which have become effective from
1 January 2020 and therefore have been adopted do not have a
significant impact on the Group's financial results or
position.
3 Segment reporting
Management identify only one operating segment in the business,
being monetising online video content. This single operating
segment is monitored and strategic decisions are made on the basis
of this segment alone.
As a result, only the geographic reporting of revenue analysis
has been included in this note.

5 Loss per share
Both the basic and diluted loss per share have been calculated

Bison Group plc as the numerator, i.e. no adjustments to losses
were necessary in 2020 or 2019. The calculation of the basic loss
per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in
issue during the period.

The group entered into a two year lease for an office on 1

The group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for
short terms leases (leases with an expected term of 12 months or
less). Payments made under such leases are expensed on a
straight-line basis.
The expense relating to payments not included in the measurement
of the lease liability is as follows:

The Group received a Covid-19 related rent concession during the
period of GBP69,750. It has applied the exemption granted by the
Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16) and has
therefore not assessed this as a lease modification but has
included it within administration expenses.
At 30 June 2020 the Group had not committed to any leases which
had not yet commenced excluding those recognised as a lease
liability.
