Turnover at Sport Media Group has dropped by 22% to £22.9m following a turbulent time at the publishing company, which has also seen underlying operating profit drop to £0.3m from £6.4m.
Publishing the interim results, chief executive officer, Andrew Fickling commented:  Sullivan "With significant re-financing and re-structuring now completed, and the management team able to focus all of their attention on the Group's future strategy, we are well positioned to build on our current profitability and deliver the potential that this group of companies has always promised - to become creator, owner and multi-platform distributor of exclusive content in the men's lifestyle sector." The last 6 months have seen the return of David Sullivan as honorary publisher and additional funding from Gold Group International. The company has also sold off men’s magazine, Front, to “re-focus the management on the Group’s core publishing and digital businesses.” Chairman David Bailey wrote in a statement to the stock exchange: “the Board is now confident of the survival of the business, and the Group is achieving consistent monthly profitability and positive cash generation.” Something to add?
