We are More than TV.
We connect with millions of people every day, make content they can't get enough of and reflect and shape the world we live in…
…and we do all this through the power of creativity.
Our strategic vision
We will be a digitally led media and entertainment company that creates and brings our brilliant content to audiences wherever, whenever and however they choose.
Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)
The Strategic Report explains in detail how we have performed this year and sets out, amongst other things, a fair review of the business, a balanced and comprehensive analysis of our performance, the use of key performance indicators to explain the progress we have made, a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company, and an indication of potential future developments.
The Strategic Report is prepared in line with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2006 and the Company has had regard to the guidance issued by the Financial Reporting Council. It is intended to provide shareholders and other stakeholders with a better understanding of the Company, of its position in the markets within which it operates, and of its prospects. In setting out the Company's main risks and uncertainties, an indication of potential future developments, and in other content, this report and accounts contains statements that are based on knowledge and information available at the date of preparation of the Strategic Report, and what are believed to be reasonable judgements, and therefore cannot be considered as indications of likelihood or certainty.
A wide range of factors may cause the actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contained within, or implied by, the various forward-looking statements in this Annual Report and Accounts. None of these statements should be construed as a profit forecast.
We use both statutory and adjusted measures in our Strategic Report. The latter, in management's view, reflects the underlying performance of the business and provides a more meaningful comparison of how the business is managed and measured day-to-day. A full reconciliation between our reported and adjusted results is provided in our Alternative Performance Measures section on pages 54 and 55. Our KPIs are set out on pages 24 to 27.
1. The Strategic Report also refers to total revenue, which includes all ITV revenue, both internal and external.
2. Non-advertising revenue includes all ITV revenue (both internal and external), and excludes total advertising revenue.
3. EBITA before exceptional items has been adjusted to reflect the inclusion of production tax credits ('adjusted EBITA').
