ITV continues to see its share price fall ahead of its full-year results on Thursday, with the stock down more than 60% since its peak in August 2015.
Despite a challenging backdrop, the British broadcaster said that it remains on track to deliver its full-year guidance in its third quarter trading update in November, with it confident that ITV Studios will record revenue growth of at least 5% at a 14% - 16% margin.
However, the company continues to see revenues from advertising fall, with the broadcaster forecasting a 2% decline for the 2019 financial year.
ITV remains on track to deliver £20 million in savings in 2019, helping it to maintain a healthy balance sheet and offer a full year dividend of at least 8p per share. ITV plans to save between £55 million - £60 million over the four years to 2022.
In November, ITV sold its famous London headquarters, the London Television Centre, for £145.6 million, which may support its full-year results on Thursday.
ITV closed at 116p a share on Wednesday, with the stock down 22% year-to-date.
