Future Plc has today announced the achievement of accelerated earn-out payments related to the acquisition of Mobile Nations in March’19. Deferred consideration of $55m (50% cash/ 50% new shares) becomes payable, with management assuming the achievement of an $11.5m EBITDA contribution from Mobile Nation operations to March’20. Mobile Nations management team will continue to work within Future within the newly created Future Labs, tasked with driving additional organic growth by integrating new initiatives, businesses, tools and processes once they reach a suitable maturity level. Future management continue a strong record quickly bedding down new acquisitions. The modest outperformance in Mobile Nations performance is largely offset by a marginally bigger than expected share base increase. We make no changes to our forecasts however at this time.
