ROLV ERIK RYSSDAL CEO
We are happy to report another quarter where our Online Classifieds operations grew well both in terms of revenue and gross operating profit. At the same time, our Media Houses improved their profitability compared to the same quarter in 2015 in a challenging advertising market.
Within online classifieds the operations in France and Spain continued the good development, and the growth rate in Norway picked up in Q2. Leading traffic positions provide the foundation to increase revenues backed by both increased ad volumes, enhanced products and price optimization.
We continue to see positive development of our significant organic investments aiming to build market positions in new areas. Our native mobile app Shpock is developing rapidly in several European markets.
Schibsted is investing significant amounts in product and technology. Technology for targeted advertising is one area of focus, and our new advertising solutions are now being rolled across our portfolio. This will enable Schibsted to take part in the expected growth in digital advertising markets in the years to come.
Nevertheless, our newspapers in Norway and Sweden are facing negative revenue development as print advertising continues to decline. Continuous cost adaptions are necessary to maintain acceptable profitability. At the same time, it is encouraging to see that the number of digital subscribers to the newspapers continues to grow rapidly. Schibsted aims to be at the forefront when it comes to presenting premium editorial content in a modern way, which appeals to consumers.
(Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2015.)
Schibsted Media Group operates online classifieds companies in 24 markets. Operations in Norway, Sweden, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Ireland, Malaysia, Colombia and Hungary are in Developed phase, whereas online classifieds sites in Investment phase operate in several other countries.
The figures presented are pro-forma figures, using proportional consolidation of joint ventures and associates. For accounting figures, please see Note 3 (Operating segment disclosures). An overview of definitions and reconciliations is provided at the end of the report.

Main figures in Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015, and first half year 2016 compared to first half year 2015:
Operating revenue growth was 25 percent in NOK terms both in Q2 and in the first half year. Adjusted for currency fluctuations, the growth was 18 percent, both in Q2 and the first half year.
EBITDA margin Developed phase was 44 percent (45%) in Q2 and 43 percent (42%) in the first half year. High
marketing spending influences margins in Q2 and the first half year.
Investment phase spending was EUR 22.7 million in Q2 2016, compared to EUR 23.7 million in Q2 2015. For the first half year spending totaled EUR 48.3 million, compared to EUR 48.0 million in the first half of 2015.
Online Classifieds International comprises all online classifieds operations outside Scandinavia. The segment had consolidated revenues of NOK 1,042 million in Q2, up from NOK 774 million in Q2 2015. The revenue increase is broad-based, and all sites are growing. Consolidated EBITDA is NOK 177 million in Q2 2016 compared to NOK 203 million in Q2 2015. The EBITDA decline is due to nearly all Investment phase spending being fully consolidated in Q2 2016, whereas in Q2 2015 around half the spending was recognized in the share of profit and loss from joint ventures and associates line item.
Operating revenues grew by 17 percent in Q2. EBITDA margin was 58 percent (62%). The decline in margin is mainly due to significant marketing spending in connection with preparations for launch of improved job products in Q2/Q3.
The real estate segments shows continued good revenue growth. Leboncoin real estate has more than twice the number of unique monthly visitors as the closest competitor.
In the car segment revenue progress is also good, with growth in both premium options and insertion fees. Leboncoin is by orders of magnitude largest site for private cars, and has significantly more professional car ads than the competitors.
Advertising revenues also grew in Q2. Leboncoin will continue to leverage its traffic position to create better products to connect buyers with sellers, and job seekers with employers.
Spain
Revenues in Spain increased by 13 percent in Q2 to EUR 28 million. The growth continues to be broad-based with increases in jobs, real estate, cars, and display advertising, but there is reduced momentum in jobs due to political uncertainty.
EBITDA in Q2 was EUR 7.3 million (6.7 million). The EBITDA margin was 26 percent in Q2, compared to 27 percent in the same period in 2015. Marketing spending in the quarter was significantly higher than in Q2 2015, while other costs were at the same level.
The revenue growth of Other Developed operations was 37 percent in Q2 2016. The revenue increase was particularly driven by continued good growth in Italy, Ireland and Austria.
In Austria and Ireland, margins are double-digit, and improving. Continued high marketing investments in Italy.
The Investment phase portfolio continues to develop strongly in Q2 both in terms of revenue and traffic growth. The revenue growth was 56 percent, compared to 44 percent in Q1 2016.
The investments (EBITDA loss) amounted to EUR 22.7 million, EUR 2.9 million lower than Q1 2016 and EUR 1.0 million lower than in Q2 2015.
The investment level in Brazil is materially reduced compared to Q2 2015. This is both due to marketing spending and increased revenues. The growth in new ads per day and traffic is strong in Brazil. Entering visits is up by 44 percent in Q2 despite the slowdown in marketing spending. The OLX.com.br generalist site represents a platform for significant revenue growth going forward. Monetization efforts have been launched, with listing fees in car and real estate for professionals introduced. Premium features and advertising are being introduced gradually.
Hungary's leading generalist site Jofogas.hu continues to grow traffic and ad volume in Q2. The site is leading in terms of traffic and content in generalist, real estate, jobs and cars. The site has frequent product updates.
Tori.fi in Finland is experiencing significant traffic and revenue growth. Investment levels are maintained in order to strengthen the foundation for future revenue growth.
Schibsted sees good potential for value creation in the Mexican market, and investments remain high.
Segundamano.mx has integrated the Anumex acquisition and is focusing on consolidating the leading market position in key states, showing strong traffic numbers.
Schibsted is at the forefront of the development of mobileonly marketplaces with the native app Shpock. Shpock expands the market and attracts new user groups and items. It is among the most downloaded apps in the shopping category in large markets like Germany and the UK. Shpock launched in Italy late 2015, and the start has been promising.
Sweden's operating revenues were SEK 282 million, which represented a growth of 11 percent. The main drivers of growth were car and job verticals, while display advertising also grew well.
EBITDA was SEK 164 million (127 million) in Developed phase, implying an EBITDA margin of 58 percent (50%).
Mobile share of visits is above 60 percent and continues to grow. Professional ad volume shows good growth in Q2, especially in the car segment. Product improvements are ongoing and are successively deployed, for example integrated communication between buyer and seller and improved login functionality in the iOS and Android apps.
Revenue growth of 8 percent in Q2. Revenues are growing in all classified verticals, especially cars and jobs. Real Estate is growing, despite fewer objects for sale in the market. Personal finance continues to show promising growth. Display advertising sales are still soft.
The EBITDA margin of 47 percent is somewhat lower than Q2 2015, affected by increased marketing investments.
Main figures in Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015, and first half year 2016 compared to first half year 2015
Revenues declined 5 percent in Q2 and declined 7 percent in the first half year compared to last year. The decline is mainly due to a continued soft advertising market. EBITDA increased by 20 percent in Q2, driven by overall cost measures and operational improvement in printing and distribution. EBITDA for the first-half year increased 1 percent, with cost measures offsetting the decline in advertising. The cost measures in the first half year include head-count reductions, closing the Sunday edition of Bergens Tidende, and preparations for the closure of a printing plant in Stavanger.

Schibsted is investing significant resources in product and technology development as part of the Group's strategy.
There are five main areas of investments:
A common technological foundation across the Group will drive accelerated innovation through rapid experimentation and faster rollout of new products. Many products are initially soft launched on smaller sites to test the product viability and minimize risk. The products will be personalized through data-driven optimizations and tailored user experiences.
Schibsted's new advertising technology is based on a strategic partnership with Appnexus. It will include the platform for a highly scalable advertising network, which may be a viable alternative to other established players in the market. Schibsted sees the opportunity to include other online publishers in the network. This will create mutual benefits and improve the scale and efficiency of the advertising products.
Main figures in Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015, and first half year 2016 compared to first half year 2015:
Group consolidated revenues increased 8 percent in Q2 and 7 percent for the first half year. Total consolidated online classifieds revenues (Norway, Sweden and International) grew by 25 percent in both Q2 and the first half year in NOK terms. Media house Norway revenues declined by 5 percent in Q2 and declined by 7 percent in the first half year. Media House Sweden revenues increased by 14 percent in both Q2 and the first half year in NOK terms.
Consolidated operating expenses increased by 10 percent in Q2 and increased by 7 percent in the first half year. Adjusted for currency, operating expenses grew 5 percent in Q2 and 2 percent in the first half year. The increased share of online classifieds investment spending fully consolidated, general growth in online classifieds and phasing of marketing spending in established operations negatively influences operating expense growth. There is continuous work in the media houses to adapt the cost base to the market, where print advertising declines and online increases. Within the online activities, costs are increasing as a result of product and technology development, sales and marketing.
Consolidated EBITDA ex. Investment phase was NOK 831 million (753 million) in Q2 2016. In the first half year of 2016 consolidated EBITDA ex. Investment phase was NOK 1,466 million (1,261 million).

Schibsted gained final approval from the French competition authorities on 1 January 2016 to sell our 50 percent stake in freesheet newspaper 20 Minutes France to Belgian media group Groupe Rossel. The transaction closed 7 January 2016.
EFTA's surveillance authority ESA on 25 January 2016 approved the Norwegian government's proposal to introduce a zero VAT rate for electronic news services, with effect from 1 March 2016. The measure is designed to bring the VAT treatment of electronic news services in line with that applicable to printed newspapers, where the existing zero VAT rate will remain in place unchanged. The final rules regarding delimitation of the definition for electronic news services are unfinished.
Schibsted announced in May 2015 an offer to acquire the largest online classifieds site for real estate in Sweden, Hemnet. During 2016, the agreement has been under scrutiny by The Swedish Competition Authority (SCA). A set of commercially acceptable remedies were offered. It is Schibsted's view that the SCA's initial concerns have been alleviated as a result of these remedies and that Schibsted would be the best owner of Hemnet both from the perspective of Swedish consumers and from the realtors' viewpoint.
However, the SCA has informed Schibsted that the authority will not clear the transaction in its current form. Schibsted has on this background concluded that the acquisition process will be terminated.
Schibsted still considers the Swedish real estate market to be attractive, and will now consider other alternatives for its presence in the market.
Main figures in first half of 2016 compared to first half of 2015:
Net cash flow from operating activities was NOK 801 million in the first half of 2016, compared to NOK 362 million in the first half of 2015. The change is largely related to a more favourable development in working capital and reduced tax payments.
Net cash outflow from investing activities was NOK 487 million in the first half of 2016, compared to NOK 616 million in the first half of 2015. The decrease is mainly related to reduced net cash outflows related to investments in joint ventures and associates, partly offset by increased net cash outflows from acquisition and sale of subsidiaries as well as net investments in fixed and intangible assets.
Net cash outflow from financing activities was NOK 771 million in the first half of 2016, compared a net cash inflow of NOK 20 million in the first half of 2015. The increased cash outflow is mainly related to increase in net repayments of interest bearing borrowings, partly offset by reduced distributions to non-controlling interests.
The carrying amount of the Group's assets decreased by NOK 1,127 million to NOK 20,489 million during the first half of 2016. The Group's net interest bearing debt increased by NOK 176 million to NOK 968 million. The Group's equity ratio was 52 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2016 and 51 percent at the end of 2015.
Schibsted ASA repaid a loan of EUR 25 million from Eksportfinans at maturity end of January.
Schibsted has two long term revolving credit facilities of totally EUR 425 million. As of 30 June none of these facilities were drawn. After exercising the last extension option, the final maturity of the EUR 300 million revolving credit facility is 14 July 2021. No other changes has been made to the main loan portfolio.
After the issue of B-shares in September 2015, the liquidity reserve is much higher than before. Including cash and cash equivalents, the liquidity reserve at the end of Q2 2016 was NOK 5.4 billion.
Schibsted sees continued revenue growth potential and a good margin outlook for its portfolio of developed online classifieds sites. On a medium to long-term horizon the target for annual revenue growth remains at 15-20 percent.
Our leading French site Leboncoin.fr holds significant longterm potential in new verticals and products, such as real estate and jobs. An improved product offering in the job vertical will be launched in Q3/Q4 2016.
Our strategy of building online classifieds positions in new markets as well as new product rollouts in existing markets will continue as long as key metrics like traffic, user engagement and brand recognition continue to develop compared to business plans and competitors. Continued investments are planned in native apps, like Shpock, and the online classifieds operations during the second half of 2016. At the same time, investments are expected to be reduced in most other markets, as the investment cycle is nearing the end there. This is a result of reduced marketing investments and increased monetization. In total, investments in full year 2016 are expected to be in the area EUR 80-100 million (compared to EUR 95.6 million in 2015). Note that the investments are affecting profitability and, the effect is split between consolidated companies, joint ventures and associates.
The media houses in Schibsted will continue the transformation into world-class digital media houses based on strong editorial products. Schibsted is rolling out a new media platform that gives a user-first perspective and encompasses the entire newsroom production process. It is highly scalable across all media companies and allows publishers to leap into a digital-only newsroom.
Overall, the structural digital shift and the transformation process are expected to continue. Schibsted will continue to focus on digital product development combined with cost adaptions, with the aim to produce continued healthy cash flows and operating margins.
The build-up of Schibsted's global technology and product development resources is ongoing, and the aim is to facilitate the digital transformation and the strategy of forming identity-based ecosystems. Schibsted has strong
traffic positions and great brands in Scandinavia covering a broad range of online services. We intend to use these strong national ecosystems as a basis for developing products that improves the ability to offer targeted advertising, and personalized products for consumers both within online classifieds and news. The advertising technology, based on a strategic partnership with Appnexus, may be a viable alternative to other established players in the market, and represent an opportunity for new revenue sources.
The ramp up and organizational change related to product and technology will increase the efficiency and reduce timeto-market for new services both for online classifieds operations, for media houses and adjacent services. Investments will increase, as previously communicated, compared with 2015. EBITDA of the Other/Headquarters segment, which includes product and technology investments, is estimated to be negative NOK 650-700 million in the full year 2016.

Schibsted ASA is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Apotekergata 10, N-0107 Oslo, Norway. The A-shares and B-shares of Schibsted ASA are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange under tickers SCHA and SCHB. Schibsted Media Group (Schibsted or the Group) consists of Schibsted ASA and its subsidiaries.
Schibsted Media Group is an international media group with leading positions within online classifieds and strong positions within media houses. The major businesses are in Norway, Sweden, France and Spain, but the Group also has operations in other countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the Group and the Group's interests in joint ventures and associates. The interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual financial statements as at 31 December 2015.
The accounting policies adopted in preparing these interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
In November 2015, Schibsted Media Group presented a new organisation model with new geographies and stronger global functions. Consequently, changes are made to operating segments reported with effect from the first quarter of 2016. Comparable figures for previous periods are restated.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the first half of 2016 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 18 July 2016. The interim financial statements are unaudited.
Schibsted has in the first half year of 2016 invested NOK 120 million related to acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses (business combinations), of which NOK 120 million is settlement of contingent consideration related to prior year's business combinations (primarily Compricer AB, Media House Sweden). Investments related to business combinations in the first half year of 2016 amount to NOK 15 million (net NOK 0 million adjusted for cash in acquired companies).
Schibsted has in the first half year of 2016 invested NOK 67 million related to increased ownership interests in subsidiaries. The amount invested is related to increase in ownership interest in ServiceFinder Sverige AB (Online Classifieds Sweden) from 69.95% to 100%. In January 2016, Schibsted closed the sale of its 50% interest in the joint venture 20 Minutes France S.A.S. A gain of NOK 24 million is recognised in the line item Other income and expenses.
Schibsted reports five operating segments; Online Classifieds (Norway, Sweden and International) and Media Houses (Norway and Sweden). As a consequence of the new organisational model, operating segments are changed from 1 January 2016, and restated retrospectively to give comparable information.
Online Classifieds Norway comprices Finn.no and Mittanbud.
Online Classifieds Sweden comprices Blocket, BytBil and Servicefinder.
Online Classifieds International comprices the Group's online classifieds operations world wide. The segment includes operations in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. The main operations in Europe are in France, Spain and Italy.
Media House Norway comprises the media houses VG, Aftenposten, Bergens Tidende, Stavanger Aftenblad and Fædrelandsvennen, printing and distribution operations, and the publishing house Schibsted Forlag (sold in June 2015).
Media House Sweden comprises Publishing, where Aftonbladet and Svenska Dagbladet are the main units, and Schibsted Growth, a portfolio of internet-based growth companies (including the online directory service Hitta).
Other / Headquarters comprises operations not included in the five reported operating segments, including Mötesplatsen, Aspiro (sold in March 2015), 20 Minutes in Spain (sold in July 2015) and 20 Minutes in France (sold in January 2016), as well as the Group's headquarter Schibsted ASA and centralised functions including Product and Technology.
Eliminations comprise intersegment sales. Transactions between operating segments are conducted on normal commercial terms.
The division into operating segments corresponds to the management structure and the internal reporting to the Group's chief operating decision maker, defined as the CEO. The division reflects an allocation based partly on the type of operation and partly on geographical location.
In the operating segment information presented, Gross operating profit (loss) is used as measure of operating segment profit or loss. For internal control and monitoring, Operating profit (loss) is also used as measure of operating segment profit or loss.
