|
|

|
· |

|
· |
Guadalajara convention contract award sees 4GLOBAL assisting in making investment decisions and assessing whether investments are achieving the criteria with regards to social impact, thanks to the use of 4GLOBALs data and social value calculator. |
Operational highlights for the period
|
· |
Our data asset (DataHub) grew to 35m unique individuals and over 4bn datapoints as a result of increasing the number of sport health and activity data sources being integrated through new customers into the DataHub; one of the largest datasets of its kind in the world which enables clients to make critical investment decisions about their business. |
|
· |
Management successfully delivered its first trials using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools within DataHub, which has proven to increase efficiencies in data processing. This enables DataHub to deliver enhanced insights to its customers in the three key areas of understanding their customers (identify, attract, retain, improve) operational efficiencies and the ability to maximise ROI on capital investment (especially in scaled sport, health and activity facilities). |
|
· |
The combination of the growth of the DataHub and the use of AI has allowed the Company to secure significant new contracts with our middle east partners (in Qatar and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) developing nationwide sport infrastructure investment plans and new cities development. |
|
· |
Similarly in the North American market, the Company continues to build on strategic partnerships with Jonas to deliver scale business insights for Jonas' existing clients. |
|
· |
Furthermore, the growth of the DataHub dataset and integration with AI coupled is enabling the Company to open new verticals and data use cases. In the period, the Company continued to grow in the health area specifically related to the trend of using physical activity to treat and prevent certain health conditions. |
|
· |
The combination of these factors has allowed the Company to grow its opportunity pipeline to £6.9m. |
Eloy Mazon, Chief Executive Officer of 4GLOBAL, commented:
"Trading has been strong and the Board is delighted with the performance of the business in the first half of the year. There has been significant growth in revenues in relation to last year's H1 position (26% increase). This has been a period of expansion and growth through significant business wins, continuing to build on the grow foundations in international markets, strengthening the team and the Company's' commercial partnerships.
"The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the growth of the DataHub has generated significant opportunities for us and I was delighted to see the launch of our first AI insight platform earlier this year as a pilot for one of our biggest customers prior to commercial launch in 2024.
"As expected, Group revenue generation profile is significantly weighted to the second half of the year. The Board is encouraged by the continued strong demand for the Company's products and, with 4 months to go to the end of the financial year, is confident that it is trading in line with market expectations for the full year[1]."
[1] Market expectations for the full year stand at total revenue of £6.7m and Adjusted EBITDA of £1.3m

Chief Executive Statement
For the six months ended 30 September 2023
The current year has started positively and the Board is particularly encouraged by progress in recent months. The financial position is strong and international expansion continues with the activation and launch of our US partnership gathering momentum. The business is performing comfortably in line with market expectations.
The six months to 30 September 2023 was a period of growth for the Group as it delivered a 26% increase in revenue to £1.8m (30 September 2022: £1.4m) and it has accelerated its investment in products and platforms which is reflected in the Group's total contracted work to date together with a total pipeline of £6.9m.
The £4.8m of booked revenue to date consists of high margin contracts which will have a significant impact on the Group's profitability. The Group has also won new multi-million pound multi-year agreements, which enhances visibility over revenues in future financial periods. This combines with the migration of our existing customers and introduction of new customers to annual recurring and repeatable revenue (ARRR) contracts. As expected, the Group's revenue generation profile is weighted to the second half of the year as it has been in previous periods. The investment made last year in strengthening the opportunity pipeline internationally and winning multi-year contracts has resulted in a considerable growth of our net assets in our balance sheet regarding accounts receivable that will generate significant cash to the business.
Market trends
The space in which 4GLOBAL operates (Sport & Fitness) has been evolving over the last few years. The Group has identified four key market trends that positively impact its business:
|
· |
Client focus and needs are shifting from a software approach to a focus around data and the actionable insights they can extract from it. The informed data enables the client to make better decisions around its customers, business operations and investments in order to generate new revenue streams. |
|
· |
Uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment is driving a greater reliance and need on making the right decisions at the right time and to model the future. Customers in this sector see data as key to generating the insights that drive better decisions. |
|
· |
Insight about their business to make better decisions needs to base on whole sector data and not just the customers data as that gives them an incomplete picture on which to base decisions. Access to market wide data is becoming critical to make the right business decisions. |
|
· |
AI is taking an increasingly important role in business and in particular to the business critical insights it can provide. However, AI is a tool and it requires large amounts of data to provide valuable insights; the more data the powerful AI is to businesses. |
4GLOBAL has one of the biggest databases of sport participation (DataHub) in the world and an excellent track record at assisting customers in drawing insight from their end market data. As a result, the Group is perfectly positioned to exploit these trends and deliver on its growth strategy.
Key achievements and highlights
Product development & data asset
Since the beginning of the financial year, the Company's data asset, known as the DataHub, has experienced growth of 5%. As data from the North American operation begins to contribute, there is an expectation that this growth will be further accelerated, expanding geographical coverage and reinforcing the Company's dominant position in the market with its comprehensive data set.
In shaping the future landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to play a pivotal role, particularly in the realm of actionable insights. The Directors believe that the Company stands at the forefront of this technological wave, recently successfully delivered its first trials of AI within DataHub, which have proven to increase efficiencies in data processing.
This enables DataHub to deliver enhance insights to its customers in the 3 key areas of understanding their customers (identify, attract, retain, improve) operational efficiencies and the ability to maximise ROI on capital investment (specially in scaled sport, health and activity facilities).
Furthermore, the growth of the DataHub dataset and integration with AI coupled is enabling the company to open new verticals and data use cases. In the period, the company continued to grow in the health area specifically related to the trend of using physical activity to treat and prevent certain health conditions like obesity that cost £98bn p.a. to the UK.
Commercial partnerships
Central to 4GLOBAL's global expansion strategy are its commercial partnerships. Earlier this year, the Group unveiled two pivotal collaborations with Jonas and with TechnoGym, strategically positioning itself to unlock significant revenue opportunities for 4GLOBAL in the North American and European markets respectively.
The Jonas partnership, launched to North American customers in August 2023, has witnessed substantial marketing efforts and activations. This concerted approach has already yielded positive results, with new customers actively embracing the Company's insight solutions. This move aligns with the Company's commitment to leveraging its data and insight products in unexplored verticals, opening avenues for fresh revenue streams.
Notably, 4GLOBAL's enduring partnership with Mace Group has continued to perform well, particularly in the Middle East, where several live projects and opportunities exist. This success has prompted an extension of the partnership into the North American market. Together, the companies are poised to launch new offering targeting the sports and events sector.
As 4GLOBAL continues its ambitious growth aspirations, it remains committed to exploring additional commercial partnerships that will expedite client acquisition and drive revenue in its targeted markets.
Outlook
The Board anticipates sustained demand for its data, insights, and services throughout the remainder of the year. The management's primary focus will persist in strategically activating the commercial aspects of established partnerships across various geographies, with particular emphasis on the North America and Middle East regions.
Our commitment to product development and advancing our data assets remains unwavering. This approach ensures that the Company stays at the forefront of innovation, consistently delivering business-critical data and insightful solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
As expected, and in previous years, Group revenue generation profile is significantly weighted to the second half of the year. The Board is encouraged by the continued strong demand for the Company's products and - with 4 months to go to the end of the financial year - is confident that it is trading in line with market expectations for the full year[1].
[1] Market expectations for the full year stand at total revenue of £6.7m and Adjusted EBITDA of £1.3m
