During the current financial year, the 11880 Solutions Group is focusing its operational efforts on its new sector portals and the werkenntdenBESTEN.de search engine.

In the past year, 11880.com has launched 20 specialist portals in the most important trades and service sectors until today. In addition to obtaining comprehensive information about companies in their desired search area, consumers also receive useful tips and information and, most importantly, have the opportunity to ask for quotes for specific jobs from selected providers. This enables them to compare all quotes and choose the one that is right for them. Meanwhile, businesses receive specific inquiries from new customers without having to invest in online marketing which usually results in high levels of coverage waste.

In September 2017, the 11880.com sector portal launched its first skill for Amazon's cloud-based voice service Alexa – an emergency pharmacy search. Upon request, Alexa quickly and dependably names the nearest open emergency pharmacy to the user. To do this, the 11880.com emergency pharmacy search accesses the user's individual location data. The Company is working intensively on developing additional skills for Alexa.

The werkenntdenBESTEN.de review search engine rounds off the Group's information offering perfectly, as online reviews are now cited by around 75 percent of consumers as the most important factor in their purchasing decisions. By creating werkenntdenBESTEN.de, the first independent search engine for online reviews, the 11880 Solutions Group has developed a platform that offers unparalleled value for both consumers and companies. The site gathers all of the customer reviews published online for a service provider, doctor, tradesman or fitness studio in one place. The werkenntdenBESTEN.de review search engine reliably assists users searching for service providers from all industry sectors by accessing more than 40 million online reviews from different portals.

The listing service 11880 Solutions AG launched 18 months ago is becoming a best-seller in the target group of small and mid-sized companies. Some 15,000 enterprises are already using this product. 11880.com guarantees that they will be placed in over 30 search engines with up-to-date company data, which allows them to be easily found online by new customers.

Through a sweeping reorganisationof its internal processes, 11880 Solutions AG has taken the last big step in its complete restructuring. In the new organisation, the links between the Product and Sales units are now much stronger. The Technology units has been structured in a more team-orientated manner and is benefiting from comprehensive digitalisation. This has led to a further reduction of personnel resources.

Earnings (EBITDA) in the first nine months of 2017 are within the range of the guidance published for the full 2017 financial year. Consolidated revenues are also developing as planned. The digital business accounted for around 65 percent of consolidated revenues as of the end of the third quarter of 2017. Due to the continuing downturn in the market, revenues from traditional voice-based directory assistance declined by around 12 percent year-on-year as expected. Cash funds declined from EUR 10.5 million to EUR 6.5 million compared with 31 December 2016 (not including restricted cash of EUR 0.2 million), which significantly surpassed expectations. The budget provided for EUR 5.1 million as of the reporting date and the forecast envisioned EUR 5.9 million. Encouragingly, the implementation of extensive measures enabled the Group to achieve a significant year-on-year reduction in selling and distribution costs and general administrative expenses in particular.

Andrea Servo resigned from his post as a member of the Supervisory Board with effect from 19 January 2017. At the Annual General Meeting on 27 June 2017, Gabriela Fabotti, Chief Financial Officer of 11880 Solutions AG's shareholder Italiaonline, was elected to the Supervisory Board. Management Board member Michael Geiger is leaving the Company effective 31 December 2017. From 1 January 2018, Chief Executive Officer Christian Maar will manage the business of 11880 Solutions AG as the sole member of the Management Board. 11880 Solutions AG intends to withdraw from the Austrian and Armenian markets before the end of 2017 and will liquidate and sell its companies there.

Financial situation

Results of operations

Consolidated revenues as of the 30 September 2017 reporting date were EUR 30.7 million (previous year: EUR 34.0 million).

At EUR 19.7 million, the consolidated cost of revenues as of the end of the third quarter of 2017 did not change year-on-year (previous year: EUR 19.7 million).

Selling and distribution costs were reduced from EUR 13.5 million to EUR 11.4 million, a EUR 2.1 million or 16 percent improvement. This was achieved by reducing personnel expenses, depreciation and amortisation, and general administrative expenses.

The general administrative expenses incurred in the first nine months decreased by 11 percent year-on-year, from EUR 8.4 million to EUR 7.5 million. Factors contributing to the reduction of expenses mainly included the planned and successfully implemented personnel measures and the cost efficiency reflected in general administrative expenses.

Earnings after taxes improved slightly year-on-year, from EUR -7.7 million to EUR -7.6 million. The operating loss remained more or less stable at EUR -7.9 million (previous year: EUR -7.7 million). Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell by EUR 0.7 million year-on-year, from EUR -1.3 million to EUR -2.0 million. Overall, the decline in revenues by EUR 3.3 million was compensated by cost savings.

Net assets and financial position Capital expenditures

Capital expenditures as of 30 September 2017 totalled EUR 3.7 million (previous year: EUR 4.5 million). Expenditures focused on product improvements and innovations in the Digital segment. Total capital expenditures also include capitalised customer contracts of EUR 1.4 million (previous year: EUR 1.5 million) and capitalised customer websites in the amount of EUR 0.6 million (previous year: EUR 1.0 million).

Statement of financial position

As of 30 September 2017, total assets amounted to EUR 27.5 million, showing a decrease of EUR 6.9 million compared with 31 December 2016 (31 December 2016: EUR 34.4 million).

Current assets declined from EUR 23.2 million to EUR 18.5 million. This was due mainly to the decrease in available-for-sale financial assets by EUR 3.9 million. As of 30 September 2017, the 11880 Solutions Group had investments in short-term money market and bond funds that are reported as available-for-sale financial assets. The fair value of these investments was EUR 5.8 million (31 December 2016: EUR 9.7 million). One of the reasons for the decrease in trade accounts receivable by EUR 1.0 million, from EUR 10.3 million as of 31 December 2016 to EUR 9.3 million, was a considerably more efficient receivables management.

As of the reporting date, the Group had non-current assets worth EUR 9.0 million (31 December 2016: EUR 11.2 million). The decline by EUR 2.2 million stemmed from the decrease in property and equipment and intangible assets as a result of depreciation and amortisation.

On the liabilities side, current liabilities increased by EUR 0.8 million to EUR 10.3 million (31 December 2016: EUR 9.5 million). Accrued current liabilities fell from EUR 5.7 million to EUR 5.3 million, primarily due to the decrease in provisions for personnel. Other current liabilities increased by EUR 1.4 million, from EUR 3.0 million as of 31 December 2016 to EUR 4.4 million as of the 30 September 2017 reporting date. This increase is mainly attributable to the development of deferred income. Revenue included in deferred income will be reversed proportionally over the coming months, which will increase revenue accordingly.

The 11880 Solutions Group has no significant non-current liabilities, no liabilities in foreign currencies and no loan liabilities to banks.

Equity declined by EUR 7.5 million to EUR 16.0 million compared to 31 December 2016 (31 December 2016: EUR 23.5 million), reflecting the net loss for the period.

Cash flow & financing

Cash flow from operations as of the end of the third quarter of 2017 amounted to EUR -2.4 million, compared to EUR -4.1 million during the prior-year period.

The cash inflow from investing activities in the first nine months amounted to EUR 2.5 million (previous year: EUR 4.1 million). The cash flow from investing activities includes the purchase and sale of money market funds and bond funds. The year-on-year decrease in cash inflow is attributable mainly to the lower volume of sales of available-for-sale financial assets (until 30 September 2017: EUR 4.0 million; until 30 September 2016: EUR 7.0 million).

The cash flow from financing activities was EUR -0.2 million in the first nine months (previous year: EUR 0.0 million).

Cash funds

Cash funds, cash and cash equivalents as well as current available-for-sale financial assets at the end of the period declined from EUR 10.5 million to EUR 6.5 million compared with 31 December 2016 (not including restricted cash of EUR 0.2 million), which significantly surpassed expectations. The budget provided for EUR 5.1 million as of the reporting date and the forecast envisioned EUR 5.9 million. The decrease in cash funds by EUR 4.0 million (net cash flow) corresponds to the sum of the cash flow from operations of EUR -2.3 million adjusted for the market valuation of securities, the cash flow from investing activities of EUR -1.5 million adjusted for the sale of fund shares and the cash flow from financing activities of EUR -0.2 million.

Segment report

At EUR 19.9 million, revenues in the Digital business were down year-onyear (previous year: EUR 21.7 million). However, the number of new customers in this line of business rose sharply, which is not yet reflected in revenue but clearly in deferred income. Please see the disclosures on the statement of financial position in this regard. The Digital business now accounts for around 65 percent of total revenue (previous year: 64 percent). Nine-month earnings (EBITDA) as of the reporting date were EUR -1.6 million (previous year: EUR -1.3 million).

The traditional directory assistance business accounted for EUR 10.8 million of total revenues (previous year: EUR 12.3 million). As expected, earnings (EBITDA) fell by EUR -0.4 million in the first nine months to EUR -0.4 million (previous year: EUR 0.0 million).

Updated report on expected developments

Consolidated revenues, EBITDA and cash funds are developing in line with expectations.
