underlying strength of our incredible catalogue and the care and
expertise of the One Media team, who are stewards of the music we
own. With the opportunities to grow the royalties from our existing
music catalogue increasing internationally, these will be our
ongoing focus for 2023. Alongside this, following the strategic
decision taken to prioritise capital allocation to TCAT, given the
potential this proprietary software has in meeting the expanding
requirement for digital copyright infringement detection tools, we
will look to escalate its operations and grow the business.
"Our dividend has been maintained and, with a strong balance
sheet underpinning the Group as well as a supportive outlook for
the music industry, we are well placed for 2023 and to continue to
deliver positively on behalf of our shareholders."

Chairman's Statement
Once again, we are reporting another positive set of results,
driven by the Group's focus and long track record in increasing
income from digital copyrights, while at the same time growing
their capital value. The team's specialist expertise in this sector
has helped deliver a 17% increase in total revenue to GBP5.1
million (2021: GBP4.4 million) and a 9% uplift in EBITDA to GBP1.8
million (2021: GBP1.6 million).
These results, underpinned by a positive industry backdrop, have
given the Board the confidence to declare an annual dividend of
0.055p per share, subject to shareholder approval at the Company's
forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
With the core business continuing to perform positively and in
line with expectations, during 2022 the Group spent time
strategically evaluating the investment into its proprietary
anti-piracy software, TCAT (Technical Copyright Analysis Tool).
TCAT is delivering an important and much needed service to music
rights holders (including One Media) and to the creative community
by providing protection from and detection of copyright
infringement and loss of due income through the illegal activities
of others. During the period, TCAT signed additional industry
contracts and trials for its proprietary software and it continues
to gain traction internationally with both major and independent
labels.
As set out in the Group's half year results on 19 July 2022, the
Board, together with the newly formed TCAT board, had been
exploring independent funding options for TCAT. However, as we
communicated in the Group's trading update on 6 January 2023, the
Board subsequently undertook a further assessment of the strategic
position of the TCAT business, in conjunction with the Group's
advisers and alongside consultation with major shareholders. This
included a consideration of both the external and internal funding
options available, given the strength of the Group's balance sheet.
As a result of this process and consultation, the Board concluded
that, in its opinion, greater value can be captured by retaining
TCAT within the Group and supporting TCAT in reaching its next
level of growth.
The Board continues to believe that, against the positive
industry growth trajectory, the TCAT business presents a
significant, scalable opportunity with exciting potential. The
Group will therefore continue to use its cash resources to invest
into TCAT's operations, as it has done to date, with a view to
benefitting from the medium-term value creation potential of the
business.
In October, we welcomed Mark Adams to the Board as an
Independent Non-Executive Director . As part of his role, he also
chairs the Audit Committee. In the short time since his arrival,
Mark has already made a significant contribution to the Group. With
a nearly 30-year career working in senior finance roles across a
range of high profile, listed companies, Mark brings extensive
complementary experience to the Company's Board, with a particular
focus on financial strategy and transactions, including M&A and
fundraising, as well as best practice corporate governance. Mark's
appointment further improves our corporate governance and provides
us with important strategic insight built on an extensive track
record of successfully operating in the listed sector at the
highest levels. To have someone of his calibre as part of our team
is a strong endorsement of the Group's potential as we continue our
journey to deliver shareholder value.
Looking at the economic and political backdrop, the last year
has been a challenging one for many businesses and people across
the world, for many different reasons. We are all having to
navigate rising interest rates and inflation, which are
contributing to a cost-of-living crisis; while it is very sad that,
twelve months on, war is continuing in Europe. Our hearts and minds
continue to stand with the people of Ukraine.
Despite these difficulties, the music industry outlook remains
positive. The growing popularity of streaming services and the
technological changes that are creating some incredible new
opportunities for content licensing offer significant potential for
rightsowners such as One Media to proactively grow their
income.
The Group's ongoing positive performance against this
encouraging industry backdrop leaves us optimistic about the year
ahead, including the business plan for TCAT and, importantly, the
opportunities that will be available for the Group to continue to
showcase its deep expertise in driving revenues from digital
copyrights.
Claire Blunt
Non-Executive Chairman
Chief Executive's Statement
Strategy overview
One Media is an owner, publisher and distributor of digital
music copyrights with previously proven income streams, which our
specialist team grows further through active monetisation. We
derive the majority of our revenue from royalties collected from
the licensing and use of the Company's content, which we enhance by
actively seeking out and leveraging a range of opportunities around
the world. These include improving its availability globally across
over 600 streaming stores (also known as Digital Service Providers
("DSPs")) including Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music and Spotify,
while also working to identify opportunities to drive royalty
revenue via the placement of our music in films, adverts and
television series.
Royalty returns are largely uncorrelated to the performance of
the equity markets, they are predictable and generate an
annuity-like income for investors, which is at the core of our
investment case. Additionally, One Media tends to focus on more
mature compositions with proven durability, underpinning the
delivery of reliable revenues.
We are custodians of an extensive catalogue of over 240,000
music tracks, diversified across a range of genres including pop,
rock, country and classical, which deliver long term, growing and
secure income, around 97% of which is recurring. Our catalogue
includes different types of copyrights associated with high profile
artists, including producer's royalties from certain recordings by
Take That, Culture Club, Heatwave, and Kid Creole. We also own
master rights (recordings) and writers' royalties (compositions)
for Don Williams, Mago De Oz, Philip Wesley, as well as thousands
of other income producing royalties derived from our global
exploitation of music via our many distribution partners in both
audio and video.
Leveraging its expansive industry relationships, the Company is
able to identify proven content which it believes is undervalued or
has latent potential, which we then seek to crystallise on behalf
of shareholders. The Group also comprises complementary initiatives
that support the delivery of our core strategy while also providing
additional, diversified sources of revenue.
Harmony IP was established in 2020 and enables composers and
master rights owners to release portions of equity from their
music, giving artists greater flexibility to access future earnings
while retaining majority ownership of their much-loved intellectual
property. From a One Media perspective, it supplements our existing
revenue streams and creates opportunities for us to build strongly
aligned partnerships and relationships with rights owners, putting
us in a favourable position to increase our exposure to their
assets further down the line. Over GBP5.4 million has been deployed
since Harmony IP's inception, allowing the Group to purchase
selective portions of legacy catalogues.
Finally, the Group's Technical Copyright Analysis Tool ("TCAT"),
is a software as a service ("SaaS") platform - accessed via an
online portal on an ongoing subscription basis centrally hosted by
TCAT using AWS in the cloud. Developed by One Media, it is a
proprietary, specialist anti-piracy tool which identifies illegal
or unlicensed use of digital music (copyright infringement),
helping to maximise revenue for record labels and also for One
Media. Collecting and viewing data in real time and storing said
data for data searches on behalf of its clients to be used by them
on a request by request basis, TCAT's data searches assists clients
in supporting both our acquisition strategy, tracks audit usage and
further de-risking our investment process.
Financial performance
In April 2022, our content catalogue was independently valued at
GBP34.8 million, representing an implied value of 16.1p per share
and, importantly, the fair value of the portfolio that has been
carefully assembled over the last 16 years.
Our catalogue has been instrumental in the Group delivering
double digit growth once again this year, with revenue up 17% to
GBP5.1 million (2021: GBP4.4 million) and EBITDA up 9% to GBP1.8
million (2021: GBP1.6 million).
This continued growth is a reflection of our selective
acquisition strategy, which is focused on investing into evergreen
content that has proven incomes profiles; the active asset
management of our rights by the Group's specialist team; and the
supportive industry backdrop, underpinned by the ongoing positive
trajectory of the music streaming sector.
Net revenue increased by 20% to GBP3.3 million (2021: GBP2.8
million), which is indicative of the strong underlying performance
of our catalogue as well as acquisitions undertaken during the
year. With c. 80% of Group income denominated in US dollars,
revenues were also supported by favourable foreign exchange rates.
Management keeps a close eye on currency exchange markets and takes
a nimble approach to forex decisions to take advantage of
beneficial movements.
Operating profit and earnings per share were down on 2021, to
GBP0.9 million (2021: GBP1.1 million) and 0.20p (2021: 0.24p)
respectively, as a result of the impact of the Group's investment
into TCAT, as well as costs relating to the refinancing completed
with Coutts & Co.
In September, we refinanced GBP1.9 million of outstanding
unsecured loan notes held by British Growth Fund, which carried a
fixed interest rate of 7%. The refinancing was undertaken by way of
a secured facility from Coutts & Co. priced at base rate plus
3.5%, amortising on a straight-line basis over five years. Whilst
secured, the new Coutts facility is on more traditional bank
lending terms and contains fewer restrictions on the operations of
the business, giving us greater flexibility in executing our
strategy.
Following an in-depth strategic review, TCAT will remain within
the One Media Group, with a view to benefitting from the
medium-term value creation potential of the business. We will
therefore continue to use the Group's cash resources to invest into
TCAT's operations, as we have done to date. The net cash investment
is expected to be up to c. GBP1.4 million in the current financial
year (up from c. GBP0.8 million in FY22) but it is not expected to
impact on the Group's dividend policy. However, whilst the Group
invests in TCAT, we have stated that there will be reduction in
cash resources available to the Group for potential content
acquisitions.
At the end of the period, our cash balance was GBP2.2 million
(2021: GBP2.6 million), meaning our business continues to be
supported by a healthy balance sheet giving the Group capacity to
take advantage of investment opportunities, as well as accretive
reinvestment into the Group.
As a result of the positive performance in the year, a final
dividend of 0.055p per share has been declared by the Board,
pending shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting.
Operational update
During the year, we invested GBP1.7 million, including into new
acquisitions that we identified as fitting our appetite for proven,
recurring income streams that have the potential to be further
cultivated. This means curating, repurposing, restoring and,
importantly, policing our content with all the care that the
original writers and performers value and now rely on.
We are focused on content that is older and more established,
meaning it can often be overlooked or undervalued, but almost
always recognisable by tune or artist. We take these pieces of
music and nurture them carefully through our in-house team of
expert Creative Technicians, improving the chances of rediscovery
through precise metadata to reach consumers via DSPs across over
200 territories and growing their exposure through licensing
opportunities.
We also take measures to prevent the piracy or copyright
infringement of our music, which results in lost revenues for
rights owners, through the deployment of TCAT. Piracy purportedly
costs the global music industry approximately GBP9 billion per
annum in lost revenues, over GBP300 million of which is lost from
the UK music industry's rightsholders, while 38% of global music
and video streaming listeners acquire music through illegal
exploitation, often without the consumer even knowing it.
TCAT detects copyright infringement across the legitimate DSPs
by alerting rightsowners to instances of corrupted data,
facilitating the removal or correct monetisation of offending
tracks.
During the year, the TCAT business plan was progressed under the
stewardship of Nick Stewart, following his appointment as CEO in
February 2022. Nick has over 40 years of music industry experience,
having held senior roles at Universal Music and Warner Music among
others. Since stepping into the role, he has been leveraging his
network and industry knowledge to further establish the TCAT brand
and develop its customer base.
We believe that TCAT has significant potential and, given
industry needs, can become the 'go to' anti-piracy software for the
music industry. Following the Board's strategic decision, taken
alongside advisors and shareholders, to retain TCAT within the One
Media Group, we will continue to oversee and fund its growth with
caution, with a view to unlocking further value from its
medium-term potential. TCAT's unique set of features position it
well for industry leadership, with the right investment and
guidance. We believe that its technology offers a solution to many
who are not only struggling to battle copyright infringement of
their assets, but also to improve the digital fingerprints - or
metadata - of their catalogues and recoup the full value of what
they have created or own.
To help us on this journey, we have invested in our headcount to
ensure that we have the right level and type of skillset in
software development. As a result, our team across the Group,
including TCAT, has increased to 21. The TCAT team's focus for the
year will be on continuing to develop the product to ensure that it
is on a path to industry leadership, energising the brand and
progressing sales initiatives, especially among the major and
independent record label community.
Finally, at board level, Mark Adams joined us as an independent
Non-Executive Director. Mark's background of significant experience
in the listed sector and capital markets has already proven
invaluable to the business and he is a welcome addition to the
Group.
Investments and rights management
The Company raised GBP5.6 million of equity (net of costs) in
August 2020, of which GBP5.4 million has so far been invested into
the acquisition of eight portfolios of music rights. These
transactions have been completed at an attractive blended multiple
of 9 times and have generated an annualised yield of 12% since we
acquired them.
Where we have made catalogue acquisitions in the year under
review, we have maintained our usual disciplined approach resulting
in a blended investment multiple of below 11 times.
In March 2022, we announced that we had acquired the licensor's
share of the royalty income to the Orbital Digital Ltd catalogue of
rights, which contains several thousand recordings. Orbital/Rapier
Music features more than 40 branded labels across multiple digital
platforms including African Lives, All About Blues, Travelscape
Records, The Music Shed, Rapier Music, and Sunflash. The catalogue
ranges from classical through to dance/hip hop and features a wide
array of artists such as José Carreras, Jo Jo Adams, Kool & the
Gang, Irish Tenor Trio, Alexander O'Neal, Joe Strummer, Sid
Vicious, Chic, Lee Perry, The Lambrettas, Dread Filmstone, Sex
Pistols, Suketu, Col Abram, Psy-Co-Billy, Rachel Porter's all
female Orchestra and Ebn Ozn.
Whilst the strategic decision has been taken at Group level to
prioritise investment into TCAT, our core business of music
monetisation remains key. We view the coming months as an
opportunity to consolidate and focus on our existing catalogue of
240,000 recordings, including the global positioning and continued
exploitation of these tracks via our partners, The Orchard; wider
third party opportunities such as YouTube; and sync licensing of
our content for film and television use.
Our day-to-day work is largely focused on this aspect of the
business, which is how we generate the majority of revenues and
deliver value for shareholders. It is a highly specialist skill
that requires knowledge of the copyright and rights management
landscape, a detailed understanding of the growing opportunities
that are available for music and content placement and,
importantly, a network of trusted contacts in various roles across
the media business and beyond, which gives us early sight of
opportunities to monetise our catalogue.
The massive growth of television streaming over recent years
continues to offer an increasing number of opportunities to secure
sync deals, where we agree an initial payment for the licensing of
the tracks for use, as well as ongoing payments for any subsequent
airing. Our Point Classics catalogue, which is a world leading
library of classical music, is a good example of where we agreed
several high-profile sync licensing deals during the year,
including on Netflix's 'Bridgerton' and the Hulu/Disney+ series
'Only Murders in the Building'. Our classical catalogue was also
used by HBO Max, ABC and Amazon Prime.
We are always exploring new ways to further maximise the
availability of our tracks for commercial use and deepen our
relationships with music supervisors, whose role in the industry is
to select music for film, TV, adverts, brand partnerships and video
games. To date, the sector has lacked an affordable, simple
solution for clearing music for film, TV and other uses, including
music projects in school and universities. To this end, One Media
launched a new annual subscription model for our sync platform,
Syncphonnix. Working in a similar way that Shutterstock does for
photography and image rights, Syncphonnix reduces time spent on
administration and track by track negotiations, providing a regular
and more efficient income stream for One Media. It also enables
music supervisors to more easily access readily licensed music for
their projects, a guarantee not always afforded by larger
rightsowners.
Via Syncphonnix, t ailored annual rates are offered to each
customer, based on their sector (film production, education,
advertising) and the intended usage. Initially, users will have
access to copyright-cleared popular classical music by Mozart,
Handel, Bach, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Chopin and others. Subscribers
will be able to create and tailor projects via the website app and
download broadcast quality files in full, or in specially edited
30-second and five-second stings. The intention is to broaden the
platform out to provide tracks through subscription across all
genres, including One Media's wider catalogue.
Another major income stream for One Media's digital rights is
music streaming. As an illustration of our innovative approach, for
World Mental Health Month and World Mental Health Day, One Media
partnered with consultant chartered psychologist, Marie-Clare
Mendham at UK Psychology Ltd. Together we created a series of five
specialist playlists, including calming music for anxiety relief,
brain stimulation and music to aid sleeplessness, to mark the day
and offer expertly selected music through Spotify.
Maximising the availability of our music to audiences, including
through specialist playlists, helps to improve its exposure,
increases the number of streams and directly translates into
revenues.
Market backdrop and outlook
Despite economic and political difficulties being felt,
unfortunately, around the world, including the ongoing war in
Ukraine and the challenges presented by the cost of living,
indicators for the music industry remain supportive. Research from
the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry ("IFPI")
suggests that global recorded music revenues grew for the seventh
consecutive year in 2021, increasing by 18.5%.
Goldman Sachs, in its annual 'Music in the Air' report, backs
this narrative. In June last year, it announced that it had raised
its 2022 and 2023 global music forecasts by 7% and 5% respectively.
While we have seen redundancies announced across the tech sector
and questions around how the cost-of-living crisis might impact
discretionary spend, the consensus is that music streaming is
unlikely to be affected to any discernible degree. Indeed, Goldman
Sachs last year predicted that it would deliver a 12% CAGR over the
2021-2023 period, driven by volume, price and additional emerging
opportunities.
Moreover, as we have highlighted in the past, the digital
marketplace is still a relatively young forum and the format of
monetised streaming is less than 15 years old. There is significant
road to run as platforms continue to expand their reach and
technological innovations improve access to and recognition of
intellectual property rights. In addition, there is a host of
burgeoning opportunities across the digital marketplace, including
those being created by companies like Meta and Peloton, or, more
broadly, Web3, the Metaverse and the growth of non-fungible tokens
("NFTs") and now ChatGPT, OpenAI's latest tool in data research.
Our Creative Technicians are already experimenting with where and
how the Group's opportunities for further content discovery by
consumers will be enhanced by greater technology reducing searching
times, linking music to other searched categories during daily
interrogation on search engines and greater opportunities to
increasingly monetise existing Group owned content.
We remain confident that our model for steady growth and
continual investment in copyrights is a proven, recurring cash
generative business and the Board and management remain strongly
aligned with investors through their 12% shareholding in the
Company.
The current year's trading has started in line with our
expectations. The Group is well positioned for the year ahead and
we continue to work hard on behalf of our shareholders to maintain
our positive performance and to deliver secure and growing
returns.

Notes to the Preliminary Results
1. Basis of preparation
The Company is a public limited company incorporated and
domiciled in England under the Companies Act 2006. The Board has
adopted and complied with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The Company's
shares were admitted for trading on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange on 18 April 2013.
2. Segmental Analysis
IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' requires the Group's segments to be
identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the
Group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision
Maker to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their
performance. The Chief Operating Decision Maker is considered to be
the Chief Executive Officer of One Media IP Group Plc.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker receives and reviews
segmental operating profit. Certain central administrative costs
including Group Directors' salaries are included within the Group's
Licenses result. This is consistent with the results as reported to
the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
Each segment is shown net of intercompany transactions and
balances within that segment. The eliminations remove intercompany
transactions and balances between the different segment which
primarily relate to the net draw down of loans and short-term
working capital funding provided by One Media IP Group Plc to the
other company in the Group. Inter-segment transactions are
undertaken in the ordinary course of business on arm's length
terms.
Information regarding the Group's reportable operating segments
for the year ended 31 October 2022 is shown below:
