Investor presentation summary
20 Sep, 2026Strategic rationale and market context
Acquisition of Motio extends capabilities into owned digital place-based media, supporting a 2030 strategy to become a leading integrated marketing solutions provider.
Motio operates over 1,300 digital displays in 1,000+ locations, leveraging first-party data and advanced location intelligence for targeted advertising.
The digital out-of-home (OOH) advertising market in Australia is growing rapidly, with net media revenue reaching approximately $1.45 billion in 2025 and digital inventory comprising 77.1% of industry revenue by 1H26.
Place-based media offers long dwell times, pre-qualified audiences, and secured inventory through multi-year site licenses, driving high incremental margins.
Motio’s five key networks span medical, café, venue, play, and drive environments, reaching diverse and engaged audiences.
Financial performance and transaction details
Motio achieved FY26 revenue of $9.4 million, with 8% year-on-year growth and cash EBITDA rising to $2.5 million, reflecting significant operating leverage.
The business is debt-free with approximately $3.94 million in net cash as of June 30, 2026.
IVE will acquire 100% of Motio shares at $0.060 per share, implying a fully diluted equity value of $20.7 million and an enterprise value of $16.7 million, at a 6.7x FY26 cash EBITDA multiple.
The transaction is funded from existing debt facilities and cash reserves, and is expected to be EPS accretive from year one.
The Scheme is subject to Motio shareholder and court approval, with implementation targeted for early December 2026.
Integration benefits and future opportunities
Motio enhances the operating model by adding media ownership, sales, and AdTech capabilities, enabling more integrated and impactful brand experiences.
The acquisition allows internalization of screen procurement and content management, reducing reliance on third parties and unlocking cost synergies.
Combining Motio’s targeted environments with IVE’s scale and client relationships creates cross-selling opportunities and a leading retail media proposition.
The platform supports further organic and inorganic expansion in a fragmented segment, with potential for follow-on M&A.
Value capture is expected from day one post-completion, strengthening the long-term strategic position.
