Business growth has been driven by the development of a new marketing mix for the openended subscription range. In a difficult economic climate, market prospecting on the fixedterm subscription range and books, merchandise, audio and video lines was scaled back.
ADLPartner is rolling out a strategy to expand its business and create value through its know-how. This strategy is helping further strengthen positions on its longstanding business lines, while also ramping up its development on new sources of growth.

i Gross sales volume represents the value of subscriptions and other products sold.
ii Net sales (determined in line with the French professional status for subscription sales) only include the amount of compensation 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.
