Rating:43Neutral
Price Target:
8.50p
▼(-3.95% Downside)
The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (sharp revenue decline, much larger losses, renewed cash burn, higher debt and negative equity). Technicals further pressure the rating, with price well below key moving averages and negative momentum indicators. Valuation offers limited offset because the negative P/E reflects unprofitable operations and dividend data is unavailable.
Positive Factors
Brand Strength
Time Out's strong brand and audience reach are crucial for attracting advertising and partnerships, providing a durable revenue stream.
Market Concept
The Time Out Market concept leverages local culinary talent, enhancing consumer experience and driving foot traffic, supporting long-term growth.
Diverse Revenue Streams
Diversified revenue streams from markets and media reduce dependency on a single income source, providing resilience against market fluctuations.
Negative Factors
Revenue Decline
A significant revenue decline indicates challenges in maintaining market share and consumer engagement, impacting long-term financial health.
Widening Losses
Increasing losses highlight operational inefficiencies and the need for cost control, threatening long-term profitability and sustainability.
Balance Sheet Deterioration
Rising debt and negative equity constrain financial flexibility, increasing risk and limiting the company's ability to invest in growth opportunities.

Time Out Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financials are materially weakened: FY2025 revenue fell ~27.8% YoY, losses widened sharply (net loss ~£63.8m), cash flow reverted to burn (operating cash flow ~-£6.0m; free cash flow ~-£10.7m), and the balance sheet deteriorated with higher debt (~£88.9m) and negative equity (~-£28.3m).
Income Statement
22
Negative
Revenue has been volatile and recently weakened, with FY2025 revenue down ~27.8% year over year after a near-flat FY2024. Profitability is a key concern: losses widened materially in FY2025 (net loss ~£63.8m vs ~£4.6m loss in FY2024) and operating results deteriorated sharply (EBIT deeply negative). A positive offset is the consistently strong gross profit base historically, but the inability to translate gross profit into operating and bottom-line profitability keeps the income statement score low.
Balance Sheet
18
Very Negative
Leverage has increased while the equity base has deteriorated meaningfully. Total debt rose to ~£88.9m in FY2025 from ~£62.7m in FY2024, and stockholders’ equity swung to negative (~-£28.3m) from positive (~£28.8m) a year earlier, signaling balance-sheet strain and reducing financial flexibility. Total assets also declined (to ~£82.6m from ~£117.6m), reinforcing the weaker capital position despite prior years showing positive equity.
Cash Flow
28
Negative
Cash generation has been inconsistent and turned negative again in FY2025, with operating cash flow of ~-£6.0m (down from ~£9.7m positive in FY2024) and free cash flow of ~-£10.7m. The business did show an operational improvement in FY2024 versus earlier years (positive operating cash flow), but the reversion to cash burn in FY2025 and continued negative free cash flow overall point to elevated funding risk, particularly alongside higher debt and negative equity.

Time Out Raises £8.2m in Capital Increase as Concert Party Secures Majority Stake
Positive
Dec 18, 2025

Time Out Group plc has successfully completed the retail component of its latest equity fundraising, part of a wider capital raising that combines a firm placing, conditional placing and retail offer. The retail offer closed on 18 December 2025, conditionally raising approximately £176,566 through the issue of 2,207,069 new shares at 8 pence each, bringing total gross proceeds from the overall capital raising to about £8.18 million and requiring the issue of 102,207,069 new shares, subject to shareholder approval and admission to trading on AIM expected on 7 January 2026. Following the admission of these new shares, the Concert Party Group led by Oakley Capital entities and certain directors will hold 262,083,995 shares, representing 50.15% of the enlarged share capital, consolidating control and potentially influencing the company’s strategic direction and governance dynamics.

Time Out Raises £8m and Converts Debt as Oakley Nears Majority Control
Positive
Dec 18, 2025

Time Out Group has completed an accelerated bookbuild to raise approximately £8 million through the placing of 100 million new shares at 8p each, split between a £2.9 million firm placing with Oakley Capital Investments and a £5.1 million conditional placing with institutional investors, alongside a UK retail offer at the same price. The fundraising, together with a £4.9 million debt-for-equity conversion with Oakley Capital Limited, will significantly reshape the share register: the Oakley concert party is expected to move to just over 50% of the enlarged capital (subject to retail take-up), while Lombard Odier will hold about 25.8%, reinforcing the backing of key shareholders. CEO Chris Ohlund and CFO Matt Pritchard are subscribing for shares in the conditional placing, a related-party transaction which the independent director has deemed fair and reasonable, and the new shares will be admitted to trading on AIM in two stages pending shareholder approval at a general meeting in early January 2026, where authorities to issue shares and disapply pre‑emption rights will be sought.
