These indicators demonstrate efficiency in the management of operations and the profitability of the business, supported by a unique studio-centric approach that integrates all aspects of audiovisual production, from creation and production to content distribution. This integrated model has enabled the group to overcome traditional frameworks and remain at the forefront, with the studio representing 45% of the group’s EBITDA, with a portfolio of projects, including series, films and unscripted content, all designed to generate high quality intellectual property with strong international potential, distributed in more than 50 countries.
The strategy focused on preserving the intellectual property of the productions provides a solid library of content that guarantees recurring revenues in the short, medium and long term.
In June 2023, Raúl Berdonés and Pablo Jimeno, Executive Chairman and CEO of Secuoya Content Group, respectively, announced a takeover bid aimed at acquiring a majority stake in the company. In detail, the founders of the group launched a takeover bid for 55% of the capital, which, added to the 25% they already owned, gave them control of 80% of the shareholding.

With this acquisition, Secuoya Content Group reaffirms its position as the only independent international content group with Spanish shareholders, reinforcing its position with the clear objective of consolidating its position as a global studio.
