ADLPartner is reporting net sales1 of €29.8 million for the first quarter of 2016, up 1.1% from the first quarter of 2015, with its gross sales volume2 contracting 2% to €68.2 million.
Net sales growth has been driven by the development of the marketing mix for the open-ended subscription range, with its portfolio up 1.8% at end-March 2016. This has been combined with the positive trend for sales of marketing services, particularly in Spain.
The subsidiary ADLP Assurances is moving forward with its prospecting campaigns on the direct marketing insurance brokerage market, aiming to build up a portfolio of policies that will generate future revenues. This business line's contribution to net sales is still marginal at this stage.

1 Net sales (determined in line with the French professional status for subscription sales) only include the amount of remuneration paid by magazine publishers; for subscription sales, net sales therefore correspond to a gross margin, deducting the cost of magazines sold from the amount of sales recorded.
2 Gross sales volume represents the value of subscriptions and other products sold.
