  • o Rise in number of e-commerce stores run at year-end (108 versus 99 in 2017)
  • BoD proposed to pay a 2018 dividend of 0.0696 euros per share (2017 DPS at 0.0348 per share)
  • Substantial M&A activity in second half of 2018, strengthening Triboo's offering, with a focus on global markets
  • Further steps in the internationalisation strategy, mainly by opening the Shanghai branch in China and the Madrid branch in Spain

The Board of Directors of Triboo S.p.A. – a Group specialising in e-commerce and digital advertising, listed on the MTA ("the Group") – approved the Stand-Alone Financial Statements and the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31st December 2018.

Giulio Corno, Triboo's CEO, commented: "2018 has been a year of remarkable growth in terms of revenue and profitability. Important goals have been achieved, such as the transition to MTA (the main market of Borsa Italiana). We are seeing new chances to strengthen our position, as we can rely on the successful track record of our management team. For such vision to materialise, we also worked at evolving our business model by expanding our consulting services and internationalisation strategy. The appointment of new executive director

Riccardo Maria Monti, whose proven experience will remarkably boost Triboo's global expansion process, goes in this direction too".

In the financial year 2018, the Group achieved a consolidated revenue of 69.6, millions of euros which is higher than the previous year's 65.4 millions of euros.

The consolidated EBITDA amounts to 9.9 millions of euros, which is higher than the 7.7 millions of euros as at 31st December 2017 (+28.8%), mainly as the result of a continuous growth of the Digital and Media Divisions.

The Digital Division keeps bringing in substantial revenue, which now amounts to 43.4 millions of euros (+11.0%). The EBITDA has reached 7.8 millions of euros (+22.5%), with a constantly-growing number of managed stores and the addition of important new brands.

In the financial year 2018, the Media Division achieved 29.4 millions of euros of revenue (+2.7% yoy) and an EBITDA of 2.1 millions of euros (+59.5% yoy).

Such results are also evidence of the effectiveness of the initiatives taken since the second half of 2017 to expand the sales force and produce increasingly vertical and excellent published contents.

Remarkable rise in consolidated net profit for 2018, now at 2.2 millions of euros and 64.3% higher than in 2017.

A strong cash flow from our operations, equal to 12.9 millions of euros, enabled us to make investments for a total amount of 10.6 millions of euros and made us generate a net cash flow of 3 millions of euros after paying 1 millions of euros of dividends on 2017. Such investments include non-recurring items, such as financial leases and M&A.

The Group's net financial debt as at 31st December 2018, equal to 6.1 millions of euros (+0.6 millions of euros versus 31st December 2017), also includes the effects of new leases, M&A and the fair value of put/call options and earn-out provisions on new acquisitions.

RESULTS OF TRIBOO S.P.A., THE PARENT COMPANY

In addition, the Board of Directors approved the 2018 Financial Statements of the Parent Company, Triboo S.p.A., showing a net revenue of 3.8 millions of euros (versus 3.1 millions of euros in 2017) and a net profit of -0.8 millions of euros (versus +2.8 millions of euros of the previous year).

PROPOSED DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

In addition, the Board of Directors decided to propose to pay 2.0 millions of euros of dividends on 2018 to the Shareholder Meeting.

The dividend per share, calculated dividing total dividends by the number of ordinary shares that are currently entitled to dividend, is equal to 0.0696 euros. This amount may decrease if, on the coupon detachment date, the actual number of treasury shares should increase following any purchase carried out in implementation of the current buy back plan. The dividend will be payable starting from 29th May 2019, with detachment of the coupon on 27th May 2019 and record date on 28th May 2019.

2018's HIGHLIGHTS

The highlights occurred in the financial year 2018 are listed below:

  • Triboo S.p.A. listed on the Digital Stock Exchange
  • Sale of the shareholding in Friendz
  • Triboo: partnership with Arvato Italia (Bertelsmann Group)

EVENTS OCCURRED AFTER THE CLOSING OF 2018

The most outstanding events that happened after the closing as at 31st December 2018 include:

  • New certification to work directly on WeChat, on top of the certifications from Alibaba and Baidu already achieved.
  • Partnership with the Italy-China Foundation, which brings together over 200 Italian companies that are keen on having a strategic and business market position in Asia and which has recently given

Triboo a prize at the China Awards 2018, which are sponsored by the Italy-China Chamber of Commerce.

• Launch of the share buy-back plan approved at the Shareholders' Meeting of 19 November 2018.

EXPECTED OUTLOOK

In the attempt to make the most of the opportunities provided by the Digital and Media divisions, in 2019 Triboo is implementing a business model structured in four key areas:

  • Consulting, Data & Technology
  • Ecommerce
  • Agency
  • Media & Advertising

This organization improves the go-to-market by generating higher revenues per client and cost synergies. In addition, the evolution of such model will be more focussed on added-value services, technology and a new digital consulting Business Unit (Consulting, Data & Technology).

Such Business Unit, along Triboo's wide expertise, technology and data analytics systems, is a great chance to become the 'one-stop' provider in the competitive digital market in Italy, with an increasing presence at the international level.
