Stockholm, 11 February 2022

Dear Shareholders,

Tradedoubler´s results in Q4 continued to develop positively and we are looking back at a successful year 2021.

In Q4 2021 total revenue grew by 17%, gross profit by 14% as well and EBITDA increased to SEK 20M on currency adjusted comparison and without change related items.

It is good for us to see that we were able keep our positive business momentum in this important fourth quarter although market signals indicated slower growth rates for the Black Friday week and Christmas sales. Our results for Q4 are consistently good across all regions and our four key industry verticals retail, fashion, electronics and travel.

In Q4, and for the whole year as well, our core business affiliate marketing including TD Grow and the influencer platform Metapic both contributed to the growth. Metapic has for the third year in a row more than doubled its annual revenue compared to the year before.

Operating costs increased by 15% mainly due to investments into Metapic, TD Grow and product development and our EBITDA margin is with 4,9% similar to last year and the full year 2021.

Net profit for the year 2021 increased to SEK 24M and net cash of the company is positive for the first time since long.

The sale of shares in Dynadmic was a good contribution increasing cash by SEK 17.6 M and net profit by SEK 9.3M. The cash was used to amortize part of the interest-bearing loan improving our capital structure and reducing the tax effect of negative net interest.

We see ourselves well-prepared for the coming quarters while we continue our mission to grow the business of our clients and partners in the best possible way to create meaningful results for all stakeholders. We do that with passion and courage and I look forward to your continued company on this journey.

Sincerely yours,

If not explicitly stated, the disclosed financial information refers to reported numbers that are not adjusted for change related items nor changes in exchange rates. For more information regarding change related items see page 9.

Total revenue during the year amounted to SEK 1,421 M (1,235), which is an increase compared to the same period last year by 15% or 18% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Total revenue during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 414 M (359) an increase of 15% or 17% adjusted for changes in exchange rates compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenue is to a large extent driven by large customers from the DACH region. The revenue from the travel sector nearly doubled from last year, the revenue however, is still around 2/3 of the levels we had in Q4 2019.

Gross profit for the year amounted to SEK 277 M (255). Gross profit adjusted for change related items during the year was SEK 279 M (255) an increase of 10% or 13% adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Gross margin amounted to 19.5% (20.6). The main reason for the decrease in gross margin is driven by larger clients with lower margins than the average client.

Gross profit during the fourth quarter was SEK 75 M (68). Gross profit adjusted for change related items during the fourth quarter was SEK 77 M (68) an increase of 14% or 15% adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Gross margin was 18.1% (18.9), adjusted for change related items it was 18.5% (18.9)

Operating costs excluding depreciation and change related items during the year was SEK 212 M (191), an increase of 11% or 13% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Operating costs excluding depreciation and change related items during the fourth quarter was SEK 57 M (50), an increase of 14% or 15% adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The increased costs are mainly related to increased salary costs and advertising costs related to the growth areas Metapic and TD Grow and IT costs related to the migration of our systems to a cloud-

based backend. Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) during the year amounted to

SEK 61 M (62). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 67 M (64).

Depreciation and amortisation were SEK 33 M (37), the decrease is mainly related to a writedown of approximately SEK 3 M in 2020, which was related to an internal R&D project. Operating profit thus amounted to SEK 28 (25) M in 2021.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the fourth quarter was SEK 18 M (17). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 20 M (18). Depreciation and amortisation were SEK 8 M (9). Operating profit thus amounted to SEK 10 (8) M in the fourth quarter.

EBITDA (SEK M) & EBITDA/GP (%), adjusted for change related items

Net financial items during the year were SEK -1 M (-8) where of exchange rates effects were SEK - 3 M (0). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK 2 M (-8). The financial income was highly affected by the sale of the shares in Dynadmic in which Tradedoubler has kept a minority stake since 2016. The sale of shares increased the results by SEK 9.3 M, where of 2.7 MSEK is estimated result of the earn-out, and yet to be settled.

Net financial items in the fourth quarter were SEK -1 M (2) where of exchange rates effects were SEK 0 M (3). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK 0 M (-2). In the fourth quarter Tradedoubler revalued the earnout of the Dynadmic sale which led to a gain of SEK 1.6 M in the quarter, which explains the increase in Financial income and expenses.

Profit after tax during the year amounted to SEK 24 M (7), corporate income tax was SEK -4 M (- 10). The decreased tax cost compared to last year is mainly related to the one-time cost taken in 2020 that related to the double taxation case between the Swedish and UK tax authorities, which is described in the annual report 2020 on page 28.

Profit after tax during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 9 M (10), corporate income tax was SEK -1 M (-1).

If not explicitly stated, the disclosed financial information refers to reported numbers that are not adjusted for change related items nor changes in exchange rates. For more information regarding change related items see page 10.

Total revenue

Total revenue during the year amounted to SEK 1,421 M (1,235), which is an increase by 15% compared to last year. All regions except UK & Ireland increased their revenues compared to last year.

Total revenue during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 414 M (359), which was an increase of 15 per cent or 17 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The DACH region performed extremely well with growth levels of around 55% in the quarter.

EBITDA

EBITDA during the quarter increased in all regions except for UK & Ireland, which is due to less revenue compared to last year. France & Benelux increase their EBITDA the most due to having similar cost level as last year and at the same time growing revenues.

EBITDA/Net sales margin has declined during the quarter, which is partly related to decreased gross margin, which in turn is due to high revenue growth among larger clients that have lower gross margin than the average client. In addition, the salary costs have increased due to new hires and especially in the DACH region.

Costs for group management and support functions during the year amounted to SEK 57 M (45). The cost increase for Group management is largely due to the share program linked to Reworld Media's share, which is described on page 7 in the 2020 annual report. Cost for group management is also affected by investments in personnel and advertising costs for the products TD Grow and Metapic. Cost for group management during the fourth quarter were SEK 15 M (13).

The sale of Dynadmic has affected cash flow during 2021 by a total of SEK 17.7 M. The cash-flow during 2021 has also been impacted by an early amortization of one of the loans from the company's principal owner Reworld Media. The early amortization impacted the cash flow by SEK -16 M, and accumulated interest related to this part of the loan was paid and impacted the cash flow by SEK -1.3 M.

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK 14 M (11) in the fourth quarter. Changes in working capital were SEK 31 M (37) and is as always very dependent on the payment patterns from customers.

Net investments in tangible and intangible assets during the fourth quarter mainly related to product development amounted to SEK -7 M (-8). Cash flow thus amounted to SEK 14 M (30).

Change related items in the year 2021 amounted to SEK -6,3 M, where SEK -3,3 M related to costs linked to Reworld Media's share program to key management personnel which is described on page 10 in the Annual report 2020.

Reworld Media's share price was EUR 1.9 on the allotment date, which was approximately 20 SEK. The value of these shares on the grant date was EUR 381,632, which equals 4,022,425 SEK. This amount is reported as an expense on an ongoing basis during the share program´s earning period and a provision for social security contributions is imposed based on the prevailing share price on the balance sheet date. In 2021, the reported costs of the share program amounted to SEK 3,263 K, of which debt for social security contributions amounts to SEK 1,178 K.

Net investments in foreign currency or transaction risks are not currently hedged. Exposure attributable to exchange rate fluctuation in client and supplier invoices is limited since invoicing to customers and from suppliers largely occurs in local currency for all companies in the group.
