In the same period a year earlier, Future made a pre-tax loss of £1.6m, and ended with a loss of £49m for the whole financial year.
First half revenues from continuing operations were £95.3m, a fall of 11% from a year earlier.
The Total Film publisher is following a turnaround strategy of focusing on English-language content operations above its operations in continental Europe, and investing in product development and online advertising.
Spring said: "We have focus back in the group. We have stabilised revenues and improved margins to fund investment for our future revenue streams."
Revenues from online advertising grew 66% year-on-year and those from customer publishing grew 59%.
Future has reduced its net debt from £38.3m to £29.1m.
The company has also appointed Sep Bishop, the president of online ad network Miva and chairman of search marketing specialist Steak Media, as a non-executive director.
