Paris, 14 November 2019 - INVIBES ADVERTISING, an advanced technology company specialised in digital in-feed advertising, is announcing its nine-month 2019 revenue.
| Unaudited consolidated data, in €k | 9M 2019 | 9M 2018 | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated revenue 2 | 5,868 | 2,956 | +99% |
| of which organic 3 - |
4,753 | 2,956 | +61% |
The solid sales trend that we have seen throughout this year continued in the third quarter and, as a result, INVIBES ADVERTISING was able to double its revenues in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period last year. Like-for-like (excluding DREICOM and ML2Grow), organic growth for the period was 61%.
This strong growth reflects INVIBES ADVERTISING's high-performance solutions, characterised with the in-feed format, which is a unique, non-intrusive and innovative format that the Group offers its clients. Its solutions are all the more efficient thanks to the strength of its publisher network which includes the biggest European media groups.
INVIBES ADVERTISING's growth over the period comes on the back of winning over new major brands. An increasing number of brands are attracted by advertising formats that are completely different to the other existing solutions on the market, but also by the broader geographical reach that the Group offers. As such, during the third quarter, INVIBES ADVERTISING was able to onboard a number of new advertisers, including Avène, Celio, Estée Lauder, Nivea, Orange Banque, Rowenta, Suzuki…
INVIBES ADVERTISING also continued to develop its network of publishers over the reporting period, with new major media groups including Geo.fr and Elle.fr in France, Womenshealthmag.com in Spain, and Morgenpost.de and Bunte.de in Germany.

2 Including the acquisition of DREICOM, consolidated as of 01/01/2018, and the stake acquired in ML2Grow, consolidated as of 01/01/2019.
3 Excl. DREICOM and ML2Grow
The addition of these names to INVIBES ADVERTISING's network brings the number of publishing partners across Europe to 300, further strengthening the Group's offer.
After France, Spain, Germany and Switzerland, INVIBES ADVERTISING intends to continue its European expansion and will soon be beginning operations in three new high-potential countries: the United Kingdom, Italy and Austria.
On the back of its presence in the main European markets, INVIBES ADVERTISING is now meeting the needs of international brands looking for pan-European campaign initiatives, which naturally involve higher campaign budgets.
Bolstered by these items and its European expansion, which is expected to continue over the coming months, INVIBES ADVERTISING is reiterating confidence in its guidance for strong growth in 2019. The Group will also benefit from increased sales activity on its existing markets, coupled with stable investments in R&D, in order to continue to anticipate market needs and offer cutting-edge, innovative solutions.
