Company Overview

Business Description:
Ten Network Holdings Limited (TEN) invests in The Ten Group Pty Limited and controlled entities which operates multi-channel commercial television licences in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, and several websites, led by www.ten.com.au.

Strategy Analysis:
TENs strategy is to balance its ability to generate high returns by keeping costs low and investing in new programming to increase revenues. TEN is focused at appealing to the younger age group viewers. This targeted approach has enabled TEN to deliver the highest industry margin. Margins have recently been diluted as TEN invests in a bigger inventory of content to increase its revenue share of the market. Ten Network Holdings reported a net loss of $12.87m for the year ended 31 August 2012. Revenues from ordinary activities were $861.75m, down 13.7% from last year. Basic and Diluted EPS was (1.15) cents compared to 1.36 cents last year. Net operating cash flow was $77.95m compared to $6.31m last year. No dividend was declared.
