Dividend Sustainability and Growth Outlook

Coverage: Adjusted EPS of 8.5p implies c. 1.7x dividend cover (c. 59% payout). On a statutory EPS of 5.9p, cover is thinner at ~1.2x.
Cash support: 2025 profit-to-cash conversion was 65% (down from 83%), but guidance targets ~80% medium-term. Capex is modest at ~£60m and leverage remains low at 1.0x (net debt £566m), supporting ongoing distributions.
Earnings trajectory: Group adjusted EBITA was broadly resilient (down 1% to £534m), with 5% growth in ITV Studios revenue and 10% digital revenue growth offsetting weaker linear advertising (TAR down 5%). Management expects further Studios growth in 2026 and continued profitable digital expansion.
Policy and growth: The full-year dividend of 5.0p is “in line with policy” and appears effectively flat year-on-year. Near-term, dividend growth will likely be constrained until EPS and cash conversion improve, but current coverage and balance sheet suggest the ordinary dividend is maintainable.
