Total group revenues at ITV rose by 7 percent in 2022 to \u00a34.3 billion ($5.2 billion), driven by gains at ITV Studios.<\/p>\n
\u201c2022 was a year of significant strategic progress and ITV delivered a robust set of financial results,” said Carolyn McCall, chief executive. “The successful execution and delivery of ITVX in Q4 was a major digital milestone. The platform has received a very positive reception from viewers and advertisers alike, with its newly expanded range of original content and a superior user experience engaging more viewers, and lighter viewers, and encouraging them to spend more time with ITV. The user experience and personalization elements will continue to improve throughout 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur total external revenue growth of 8 percent was driven by double-digit increases from our growth drivers, ITV Studios and our digital businesses in M&E. Our mass reach linear advertising business has also performed well and ITV total advertising revenue (TAR) was down only 1 percent, delivering the second highest TAR in ITV\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result of ITV\u2019s deliberate strategic actions and strong execution, ITV has a scaled and expanding global production business, a rapidly growing targeted digital advertising business, a resilient linear TV advertising business and a unique vertically integrated producer broadcaster and streamer model. This means that ITV is now a demonstrably more balanced business which is ideally placed to take advantage of the growing demand for quality content from viewers, broadcasters and streamers and take a larger share of the digital advertising market.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe enter 2023 with strong momentum and are on track to deliver all our 2026 KPI targets\u00a0despite a continuing uncertain macro environment. ITV\u2019s balance sheet is robust enabling us to continue to invest to support our strategy and deliver returns to shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
