Q2-2023 preliminary report shows increased growth

Aspermont, which is a leading global resource sector B2B media provider,

has once again demonstrated its robustness in Q2, maintaining an enviable

growth trajectory while expanding operational capacity. The company has

celebrated an impressive 27th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in

subscriptions revenues, fueled by positive contributions from Content

Works.

The following are some of the company's highlights:

* Total revenue at $4.9m was up 3% year on year.

* Subscriptions revenue at $2.3m was up 10% year on year.

* Content Works revenue at $0.3m was up 102% year on year.

* Net liquidity at $4.5m was up 10% year on year.

* Partnership with Saudi Arabia confirmed

Aspermont's Q2 performance showcases its resilience and ability to thrive

in challenging market conditions. The company's unwavering focus on

subscriptions revenues, along with the remarkable growth of Content Works,

underscores its adaptability and capacity to seize new business

opportunities.

Furthermore, the net liquidity growth of 10% year-on-year reflects

Aspermont's prudent financial management and its ability to maintain a

solid financial foundation for future endeavors. This financial stability

is crucial in an industry where economic headwinds can impact revenue

streams, such as advertising.

With decreasing conventional advertising spending hitting the sector,

Aspermont's strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia solidifies its position

as a global player for content-based advertising in the mining sector and

opens doors to new revenue streams. This milestone underscores the

potential of the company's diversified business model and its ability to

cater to evolving market demands.

Recent key appointments within Aspermont's management team signal the

company's commitment to augmenting its operational capacity and expertise.

The addition of experienced professionals such as Josh Robertson, Graeme

McCracken, and Lindsay Santos further bolsters Aspermont's ability to

capitalize on growth opportunities and expand its global footprint.

The company appoints Josh Robertson as Group Chief Marketing Officer

Josh Robertson has extensive marketing experience gained at several large

global network agencies. Josh held senior management positions at Havas,

Publicis and Dentsu and as Chief Marketing Officer at VCCP serving large

corporate and government clients worldwide.

The company appoints Lindsay Santos as Group Head of Events

The role of Group Head of Events is a recently established position that

carries the crucial responsibility of overseeing the creation and execution

of Aspermont's global events, in alignment with the company's dedication to

crafting top-notch gatherings within the global resource sectors.

Ms Lindsay Santos brings with her more than 14 years of expertise in the

events industry, having excelled in various roles encompassing the

commercial, operations, and production domains. Her notable accomplishments

include spearheading trade shows for InfoComm Asia over the past two years,

catering to diverse industries. Lindsay's valuable experience in event

launches and the development of fresh initiatives will significantly

contribute to Aspermont's ambitious growth plans.

The company appoints Graeme McCracken as Non-Executive Director

Mr McCracken has more than 30 years of experience in media, events, data

and analytics across diverse industry sectors. Graeme has held senior

management roles at RELX Group and Warburg Pincus, and CEO positions at

Proagrica and CMD Group. Graeme is a graduate of the University of Glasgow

with a master's degree in politics and economics.

In conclusion, Aspermont's continued double-digit growth in subscriptions

revenues, successful partnerships, and prudent operational expansions

highlight its position as a frontrunner in the global resource sectors' B2B

media landscape. The company's progressive inward investment program,

alongside its emphasis on strategic hires, demonstrates a forward-thinking

approach and positions Aspermont for sustained success.

The company's ambitious initiatives, including projects such as Skywave,

Esperanto, and archive digitalization, contribute to its long-term growth

prospects. Aspermont's unwavering commitment to delivering high-value

content to a global audience further enhances its monetization potential.

All this while boosting its overall net liquidity position.

Until then, the results published by the company for their Q2-2023

increases our confidence in the company achieving our FY 2023 financial

projections. We are therefore maintaining our BUY rating and our current

target price of 0.11 AUD / 0.07 EUR.
