Sales for the partnership-based open-ended subscription range (74% of the gross sales volume and 60% of net sales at 30 June 2013) are down, with a slowdown less marked during the second quarter than the previous quarter. The active open-ended subscription portfolio represented 3.1 million units at 30 June 2013.

The fixed-term subscription offers and the books, merchandise, audio and video range reflect the continued economic slowdown in France and the voluntary reduction in the volumes of customers prospected on these product lines.

Alongside this, ADLPartner has capitalized on the first half of the year to further strengthen the development of its new digital marketing activities, which are notably seeing encouraging results in Spain.

Outlook

ADLPartner is rolling out a strategy to further strengthen and generate value through its know-how in order to ramp up its development on new media and improve its potential for growth and profitability over the medium and long term.

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.
