TikTok’s UK Subsidiary Files Company Financials / Revenues for Europe, UK, Latin America and Africa

TikTok’s UK subsidiary has published its latest financial results covering operations in Europe, the UK, Latin America and Africa. The report shows revenue growth of 38% to $6.31bn in 2024, while the company significantly reduced its operating losses from $1.37bn in 2023 to $484.6m last year.

Filed with Companies House in the UK, these results primarily address financial performance rather than user statistics. However, earlier this year TikTok separately disclosed user numbers for the European Union. The platform reached 159 million monthly active users across the EU by the end of 2024, with its largest markets being France (25.1 million), Germany (24.2 million), Italy (22.8 million) and Spain (21.9 million).

What3words – Raising Crowdfunding with one of the Worst Profit and Loss Statements I have Seen in a While

what3words is currently raising funding via crowdfunder – Crowdcube. I have always found What3words quite an interesting concept, so I thought I would dig into their numbers.

On the crowdcube pitch – it states – Over £100M in all-time funding – https://www.crowdcube.com/companies/what3words-2/pitches/lz91xq.

Why is what3words crowdfunding for a target of £1m when they have received over £100m though the company life – marketing purposes only ???

Attached is their P&L for 2022. While they have nearly doubled revenues from 2021 to 2022 – it still seems a giant world away from where they need to be to have raised over £100m in funding. They need to over 10x their current revenues to even get to a breakeven on the current valuation size.

Its going to be very interesting to see if this is possible and if it really solves a giant real world problem!
