XLMedia Provides Update on North America Disposal Earnout

Why we think this is bad

The RNS indicates that the performance-related consideration for the North America Disposal will be only $1.0 million, which is significantly lower than the previously expected $10.0 million. This suggests a negative cash flow impact for the company. Additionally, the RNS states that the aggregate earnout amount across both the North America and Europe disposals is expected to be in the range of $3 million to $5 million, which is also lower than previous guidance. These factors point to a deteriorating financial performance for the company, leading to an overall BAD sentiment assessment.
