SUMMARY

The third quarter July - September 2020

  • Net sales amounted to SEK 285 M (280) an increase of 2% or 5% adjusted for changes in exchange rates compared to the same period last year.
  • Gross profit was SEK 59 M (62), a decrease of -4% and -1% adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Gross margin was 20.7% (22.0).
  • Operating costs excluding depreciation and change related items were SEK 42M (48), a decrease of -14% or -10% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
  • EBITDA amounted to SEK 16 M (12). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 17 M (13).
  • Capitalised expenses for product development were SEK 6 M (5).
  • Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 15 M (-37) and the sum of cash and interestbearing financial assets was SEK 56 M (25) at the end of the third quarter. Net cash in the third quarter increased by SEK 6 M to SEK -74 M.
  • Earnings per share, before and after dilution were SEK -0.07 (-0.14).
  • The tax authorities in the United Kingdom and Sweden have during the third quarter 2020 reached a mutual agreement on the double taxation procedure which is described in the 2019 annual report on page 28. The result of the agreement is that the tax adjustment is divided between the two jurisdictions in an equal proportion. Tradedoubler has in previous periods booked a tax receivable of SEK 14 M related to this issue, but based on a final agreement between competent authorities a cash tax refund around SEK 6 M will be received by the parent company, while the UK subsidiary is expected to receive a cash tax refund of SEK 1 M. The remainder will be rewarded as unused tax credit. This has resulted in a writedown of approximately SEK 7 M during the third quarter. The revised declarations will be submitted during the fourth quarter. The carrying amounts are based on the most probable result.

The interim period January - September 2020

  • Net sales amounted to SEK 877 M (876), which is in line with the comparing period or -1% adjusted for changes in exchange rates compared to the same period last year.
  • Gross profit was SEK 187 M (193), a decrease of -3% and -3% adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Gross margin was 21.3% (22.0).
  • Operating costs excluding depreciation and change related items were SEK 141M (157), a decrease of -10% or -9% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
  • EBITDA amounted to SEK 45 M (32). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 46 M (36).
  • Capitalised expenses for product development were SEK 17 M (16).
  • Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 40 M (11) and the sum of cash and interestbearing financial assets was SEK 56 M (25) at the end of the interim period. Net cash in the interim period increased by SEK 12 M to SEK -74 M.
  • Earnings per share, before and after dilution were SEK -0.06 (-0.35).
  • The outbreak of covid-19 has had a mixed impact on the results of the interim period. Certain segments and markets have benefited from the situation while mainly the travel segment has declined sharply. Group management has taken an active role in controlling the company's costs as a response to the covid-19 crisis which has led to improved profitability compared to last year. The impact of the covid-19 crisis going forward is hard to estimate as most segments of the business are affected. The fourth quarter will like previous periods be very dependent on macroeconomic circumstances which may change daily.

CEO COMMENTS

"Tradedoubler´s results in the third quarter 2020 are to a large extent influenced by the covid-19 crisis.

How our clients are impacted by the crisis is reflected as well in the performance of their programs and campaigns at Tradedoubler. Travel programs and campaigns are significantly reduced as well as all entertainment related businesses. Ecommerce related activities are growing largely resulting in 5% revenue growth in Q3 2020.

The slightly reduced margin of 20.7% is related to a lower share of campaigns business in our portfolio which is linked to the crisis as well. Clients invest more budget into pure performance activities and less into exposure campaigns which usually have a higher margin.

Costs remain lower and EBITDA in Q3 therefore increased again to 17m SEK with an improved EBITDA margin of 6.1%.

The crisis will continue to impact our business in the coming quarters. It is uncertain for us to what extent as the affect will depend largely on macro-economic circumstances.

At the end of October we launched TD Grow, a smart self-service affiliate platform for smaller and medium sized businesses. This new product complements our existing serviced solutions and addresses a new target group for Tradedoubler. After a successful pre-launch in July clients have created already more than 200 affiliate programs on this platform."

THE GROUP'S RESULTS

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.

Consolidated net sales during the interim period were SEK 877 M (876), which was in line with the same period last year. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates the increase was 1 per cent.

Consolidated net sales during the third quarter were SEK 285 M (280) which was a decrease of -1 per cent. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates the increase in net sales was 5%. The covid-19 crisis has severely impacted the net sales of travel clients which prior to the crisis has been a large part of the total business of Tradedoubler. This decrease has been covered to a large extent by other growing segments like the retail segment.

Gross profit during the interim period was SEK 187 M (193) which was a decrease of -3 per cent and equally much adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Gross profit during the third quarter was SEK 59 M (62) which was a decrease of -4 per cent or -1 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The decline in gross profit is mainly due to the fact that campaigns with high margins decreased sharply compared to the previous year.

Gross margin during the interim period was 21.3 per cent (22.0) and 20.7 per cent (22.0%) during the third quarter.

Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 142 M (160) during the interim period. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 141 M (157). This was a decrease of -10 per cent or -9 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 43 M (50) during the third quarter. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 42 M (48). This was a decrease of -14 per cent or a change of -10 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The decreased costs are mainly related to fewer employees compared to last year. Other variable costs have been reduced as well as reaction to the covid-19 crisis.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) during the interim period was SEK 45 M (32). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 46 M (36). Depreciation and amortisation were SEK 28 M (27).

On July 1, 2020 Tradedoubler invested in a newly started company, MP Media Ventures GmbH, where Tradedoubler's ownership share amounts to 30%. The results are reported in the consolidated income statement as an associated company according to the equity method.

THE GROUP'S RESULTS

Earnings of participations in associated companies affected operating profit by SEK -0.1 (-) M. Operating profit thus amounted to SEK 17 (5) million in the interim period.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the third quarter was SEK 16 M (12). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 17 M (13).

Depreciation and amortisation in the third quarter were SEK 8 M (10). Results from participations in associated companies was SEK -0.1 M. Thus the operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK 8 M (2).

Net financial items during the interim period were SEK -10 M (-18) where of exchange rates effects were SEK -3.4 M (-3.1). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -6.7 M (-14.5).

Net financial items in the third quarter were SEK -3.7 M (-7.8) where of exchange rates effects were SEK -1.8 M (-1.5). The negative effect from exchanges rates is mainly related to having the loan denominated in EUR while the EUR/SEK rate has decreased, this effect is currently not hedged. Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -2.0 M (-1.7).

Profit after tax during the interim period amounted to SEK -2.5 M (-15.7), corporate income tax was SEK -9.1 M (-2.7). In the third quarter corporate income tax was SEK -7.4 M (-0.6) and profit after tax was SEK 3.0 M (-6.2). The increase in tax costs is mainly due to a write-down of deferred tax assets of SEK 7 M, related to the double taxation case between the tax authorities in the UK and Sweden.

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.

Tradedoubler's operational segments are presented at a regional level where Tradedoubler's segments consists of DACH (Germany and Switzerland), France & Benelux (France and Netherlands), Nordics (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Poland), South (Italy and Spain) and UK & Ireland.

Net sales

Net sales during the interim period amounted to SEK 877 M (876), which in line with same period previous year. In certain markets Government support related to Covid-19 has been received, which has been recognized in net sales.

Net sales during the third quarter amounted to SEK 285 M (280), which was an increase of 2 per cent or 5 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The net sales from travel clients recovered slightly in the third quarter compared to previous quarter. This is directly related to the covid-19 crisis. Despite this decline in travel, DACH, and Nordics are growing due to strong positions in retail segments. France & Benelux, South, and UK & Ireland's net sales decreased due to their exposure to travel clients.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the operational segments has improved in all markets except for France & Benelux in the interim period. EBITDA/Net sales margin improved in nearly all segments compared to the same period last year. The main reason is lower salary costs due to fewer employees.

Costs for group management and support functions during the interim period amounted to SEK 33 M (37), a decrease of 13 per cent. Costs during the third quarter were SEK 9 M (12).

Change Related Items

For comparability reasons and to indicate the underlying performance, Tradedoubler adjust for change related items. The following items affect the comparability in this report.

Change related items in the interim period 2020 amounted to SEK -1 M. They relate to costs linked to Reworld Media's share program to key management personnel.

During the interim period 2019 change related items amounted to SEK -4.1 M and related to severance payment of SEK -3.6 M spread over several segments, costs for closing of office SEK -0.8 M and a revaluation of the contingent purchase price in the acquisition of Metapic of SEK 0.3 M (Group management).

Seasonal Variations

Tradedoubler's operations particularly within Performance Marketing fluctuate with the development of e-commerce and online advertising. There are seasonal variations particularly within e-commerce. The highest level of activity is on "Black Friday" and before Christmas, which implies that the first and the fourth quarter of a year are normally the strongest for Tradedoubler.

The Parent Company

The parent company's net sales amounted to SEK 72 M (49) during the interim period and to SEK 24 M (16) during the third quarter. Revenue primarily consisted of internal licensing revenue to subsidiaries.

Operating profit (EBIT) was SEK 14 M (-14) during the interim period and SEK 6 M (-6) during the third quarter.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -6 M (-15) during the interim period and to SEK -2 M (-6) during the third quarter. Dividends from group companies impacted the interim period with SEK 0.8 M (2.4). Changes in exchange rates impacted with SEK -1.8 M (-4.3).

Corporate taxes were SEK -8 M (0) during the interim period and SEK -8 M (0) during the third quarter. Profit after tax was SEK 0.5 M (-29) during the interim period and SEK -4.2 M (-12) during the third quarter. Tax expenses increased in the third quarter due to a write-down of a deferred tax asset as an agreement was concluded by the tax authorities in the UK and Sweden regarding the double taxation case mentioned in the 2019 annual report on page 28. The outcome is a cash tax effect around SEK 6 M in the parent company compared with previously estimated SEK 14 M.

The parent company's receivables from group companies amounted to SEK 128 M (106) at the end of the interim period, of which none (0) were non-current. The parent company's liabilities to group companies were SEK 85 M (68), of which none (0) were non-current. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 23 M (7) at the end of the interim period.

Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 6 M (14) at the end of the interim period. The deferred tax asset has decreased due to the agreement concluded by the tax authorities in the United Kingdom and Sweden regarding a double taxation case mentioned above.

No capitalisation of deferred tax on loss has been made since the assessment of the possibility of using deferred tax on loss carry forwards is unchanged compared to previous period.

Employees

At the 30th of September 2020, Tradedoubler's staff corresponded to 235 (252) full-time equivalents (FTE) and included permanent and temporary employees as well as consultants.

Critical Estimates and Judgements

Tradedoubler divides risks into market-related risks, operational risks, financial risks and legal risks. These risks are described in note C2 in the 2019 Annual Report. No significant risks and uncertainty factors have arisen in addition to those described in the 2019 annual report.

Transactions with Related Parties

Aside from transactions in the normal course of business or to the board and senior executives, the following third-party transactions have occurred during 2020. Tradedoubler's CTO, Francois Pacot, has during the year received payment of EUR 90 K related to his monthly fee as consultant and EUR 203 K related to other services through his fully owned companies. Reworld Media has as a publisher in France received remuneration of EUR 20 K, EUR 36 K for provided HR-support and EUR 112 K in remuneration for rent, both related to Tradedoubler's French subsidiary. Reworld Media has during 2020 been invoiced for purchased services from Tradedoubler France of EUR 97 K in total.

In May 2018 Tradedoubler entered into a loan agreement with Reworld Media. This loan was renegotiated and increased in Q3 2019 so that the company could replace the loan from a Swedish credit institution. At the end of the quarter the loan amounted to SEK 135 M (EUR 12.84 M). The loan has an amortization structure and matures in 2026. The loan is subscribed on market terms and the interest expense during the interim period has amounted to SEK 3.0 M. The second and last payment amounting to EUR 312 K related to the arrangement of the loan was paid to Reworld Media in March 2020. The loan has as of the end of the period been amortized by SEK 6.4 M during 2020.

Management in Tradedoubler have taken part in the main owner Reworld Media's share program. A total of 200,387 share options have been granted to senior executives. The conditions of the share program are that the senior executives are allotted half of the shares if the senior executive is still employed within Tradedoubler on 27 September 2021. Remaining shares are allotted to the senior executive if they are still employed within Tradedoubler on 27 September 2022. 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 validity period and a provision for social security contributions is imposed based on the prevailing share price on the balance sheet date. In the interim period the reported costs of the share program amounted to SEK 914 K, of which debt for social security contributions amounts to SEK 295 K.

The arm's length principle has been applied on all these transactions.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk that changes in exchange rates may affect the consolidated income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement. Foreign exchange risk exists in the form of transaction risk and translation risk. Tradedoubler is exposed to foreign exchange risk in 14 countries involving eight different currencies, with Euro (EUR) and British pounds (GBP) representing the majority share. During the interim period 2020 approximately 49 (52) per cent of group sales were made in EUR and approximately 16 (19) per cent in GBP. Approximately 40 (42) per cent of the group's operational costs were in EUR and approximately 8 (12) per cent in GBP. 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.

Tradedoubler renegotiated the current loan deal with Reworld Media S.A. during the third quarter 2019. This facility is denominated in EUR and currently not hedged.
