"Tradedoubler´s results in the fourth quarter 2018 confirm the positive business trend of recent quarters. With Q2 we have been able to stop the decline of the business we had in previous years. Since then we deliver revenue and gross profit results on the level of the year before, but with significantly improved profitability. The confirmation of this trend in Q4 is an important indicator for us, as the fourth quarter is the most important quarter for our business. The EBITDA of SEK 14 M in Q4 is the best result we had in the last years.
The main reasons for the improved results are the repositioning of Tradedoubler with a full focus on affiliate marketing and the matching re-organisation of the company. This increased focus leads to reduced churn, a higher win rate of new clients and efficient processes. We create growth for our clients and partners based on our network, our technology and our expertise. We are able to do this efficiently, improving our own profitability.
In 2019 we will continue our mission to create growth for our clients based on these three pillars and in a healthy market environment that will grow on similar levels as in the years before. Based on the solid fundament we have created we will continue to invest into our teams and our technology platform as we have done during 2018. On 20th March we will launch a fully redesigned publisher interface with enhanced user experience and a fresh look. It will make it easier to create relevant connections and drive growth. We approach the new year optimistically and with energy."

Costs for group management and support functions during 2018 amounted to SEK 62 M (55), an increase of 12 per cent or 12 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The increase is mainly related to the positive revaluation of the contingent additional purchase price related to R-Advertising acquisition in the third quarter in 2017 of approx. SEK 9 M. Costs during the fourth quarter were SEK 13 M (13), an increase of 1 per cent or 1 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 0.5 M (-11) during 2018 and related to EBITDA reduced with paid taxes, paid interest and non-cash items. Changes in working capital were SEK -4 M (-63). During the second quarter 2018 Tradedoubler paid SEK 12 M to the Spanish tax authority attributable to an ongoing tax audit in Spain.
Net investments in tangible and intangible assets during 2018, mainly related to product development, amounted to SEK 18 M (18). Cash flow amounted to SEK -26 M (-100) and net cash decreased by SEK 1 M (80).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK 5 M (-0.2) in the fourth quarter 2018 and related to EBITDA reduced with paid taxes, paid interest and non-cash items. Changes in working capital were SEK 3 M (10).

Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 109 M (133) and related to the loan agreements signed in May. SEK 71 M (of which book value amounts to SEK 69 M at the end of 2018) refers to the loan with a Swedish credit institution, the loan has a contractual term of three years at marked fixed interest rate where customary financial covenants exist. SEK 40 M is related to the loan with the principal owner Reworld Media, which has been signed on similar terms as the loan with the credit institution with the exception of
covenants. Net cash hence amounted to SEK -65 M (-64) at the end of 2018.
Consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 236 M (206) at the end of 2018 and the equity/asset ratio was 31.7 per cent (28.7). The return on equity during the rolling 12 months ending December 2018 was 6.8 per cent (neg).
For comparability reasons and to indicate the underlying performance, Tradedoubler adjust for change related items. The following items affect the comparability in this report.
During 2018 change related items amounted to SEK -2.8 M and related mainly to reduced costs for the long-term incentive programme of SEK 0.7 M (Group Management) and severance payments of in total SEK -3.5 M split over all segments.
During 2017 change related items amounted to SEK 1.5 M which related to costs for the long-term incentive programme of SEK -0.7 M (Group management), cost for renovation of old office of SEK -0.5 (France & Benelux), severance payments of SEK -2 M (UK & Ireland), SEK -2.5 M (France & Benelux), SEK -1.5 (DACH) and SEK -0.5 M (Group management) and a revaluation of contingent additional purchase price regarding R-Advertising acquisition of SEK 9.2 M.
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 fourth quarter is normally the strongest for Tradedoubler.
The parent company's net sales amounted to SEK 69 M (68) during 2018 and to SEK 18 M (17) during the fourth quarter. Revenue primarily consisted of internal licensing revenue to subsidiaries.
Operating profit (EBIT) was SEK -13 M (-29) during 2018 and SEK -4 M (-18) during the fourth quarter.
Net financial items amounted to SEK 11 M (13) during 2018 and to SEK 1.7 M (2.7) during the fourth quarter. Dividends from group companies impacted 2018 with SEK 9 M (10). Changes in exchange rates impacted with SEK -3 M (-0.9).
Corporate taxes were SEK 0.1 M (0) during 2018 and SEK 0.1 M (0) during the fourth quarter. Profit after tax was SEK -2.3 M (-16) during 2018 and SEK -2.1 M (-15) during the fourth quarter.
The parent company's receivables from group companies amounted to SEK 106 M (78) at the end of 2018, of which none (0) were non-current. The parent company's liabilities to group companies were SEK 67 M (58), of which none (0) were non-current. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 13 M (34) at the end of 2018.
In November Tradedoubler announced an early redemption of all outstanding bonds. The redemption amount was paid in December which affected the cash flow with SEK -5 M.
Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 14 M (14) at the end of 2018 and related to previous Group loans. 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.
At the end of 2018, Tradedoubler's staff corresponded to 250 (284) full-time equivalents (FTE) and included
permanent and temporary employees as well as consultants.
Tradedoubler divides risks into market-related risks, operational risks, financial risks and legal risks. These risks are described on page 7 in the 2017 Annual Report. No significant risks and uncertainty factors have arisen in addition to those described in the 2017 annual report.
For information regarding critical estimates and judgements in the financial statements, see note C2 in the 2017 annual report. During 2018 new financing was signed which means that the going concern assumption as stated in note C2 in the 2017 annaul report no longer applies. No other critical estimates or judgements are considered to have arisen since the latest submitted annual report.
The Board proposes that no dividend should be declared for 2018 (SEK 0 per share). Tradedoubler has a policy of distributing at least 50 per cent of its profit after tax provided that a suitable capital structure is maintained. The distribution may occur through share dividends, share redemption and share buybacks.
Aside from transactions in the normal course of business, to board and senior executives the following third-party transactions have occurred during 2018. Reworld Media has, as a publisher in France received remuneration of 43 KEUR. Since January 2016 Reworld Media is providing HR-support to the French subsidiary at a cost that currently amounts to 4 KEUR per month. Reworld Media has during 2018 been invoiced for purchased services from Tradedoubler France of 50 KEUR in total and from R-Advertising of 373 KEUR in total. Since mid-September 2017 the French Tradedoubler subsidiary is based in the Reworld Media office, total cost during 2018 amounted to 177 KEUR. In
May 2018 Tradedoubler entered into a loan agreement with Reworld Media of SEK 40 M on market terms, interest expense during 2018 amounted to SEK 3 M. The arm's length principle has been applied on all these transactions.
The Annual General Meeting 2019 will be held on 15 May 2019 at Tradedoubler's premises on Birger Jarlsgatan 57 A, Stockholm.
Shareholders wishing to present proposals to the Nomination Committee for the 2019 Annual General Meeting can submit them to Viktor Wågström by e-mail: [email protected].
Information about the work of the Nomination Committee may be found on Tradedoubler's home page www.tradedoubler.com.
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 fourth quarter 2018 approximately 53 (52) per cent of group sales were made in EUR and approximately 16 (18) per cent in GBP. Approximately 44 (42) per cent of the group's operational costs were in EUR and approximately 12 (15) 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.
No significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date.
This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, interim financial reporting and the Swedish annual accounts act. In addition to repayment of the outstanding bond loan and the signing of new financing, the extent and nature of financial assets and liabilities are of the same nature and level as reported on 31 December 2017. Financial liabilities carrying values are the same as the fair values.
For information on the accounting policies applied, see the 2017 annual report.
IFRS 9 Financial instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement. IFRS 9 introduces, among other things, a new model for impairment of financial assets. The purpose of the new model is for credit losses to be reported earlier than under IAS 39. The standard is applied from 1 January 2018. The standard has not had any significant impact on the group's financial position.
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers has replaced previous standards for revenue recognition and is applied as of 1 January 2018. The standard is based on the principle that revenue should be reported when a promised service is transferred to the customer, which can happen over time or at a certain point in time. Revenue shall consist of the amount that the company expects to be reimbursed for the services delivered. The standard has not entailed any change in how the company reports revenues.
IFRS 16 Leases has replaced IAS 17 from 1 January 2019. According to the new standard, the lessee must report the obligation to pay leasing fees as a lease liability in the balance sheet. The right to use the underlying asset during the lease period is reported as an asset. Depreciation of the asset is reported in the income statement as well as interest on the lease liability. Remaining leasing fees are reported partly as payment of interest and partly as amortization of leasing debt, which affects financial position and key ratios. The standard excludes leases with a lease term of less than 12 months and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value. The company applies the standard according to the modified retrospective approach, which means that it will be reported retroactively with the cumulative effect of an initial application of the standard on the first date of application, 1 January 2019. The leasing agreements covered by the new standard are operational leasing agreements for the rental of office premises. Tradedoubler estimates that the adjustment according to IFRS 16 will affect the balance sheet in 2019 by approximately SEK 40 M.
The total number of shares at the end of 2018 was 45,927,449 (45,927,449), of which 1,060,473 (2,010,473) were in own custody after use of own shares in the third quarter for the final contingent additional purchase price in the R-Advertising acquisition. The average number of outstanding shares during 2018 was 44,172,948 (43,564,859).
Earnings per share, before and after dilution, amounted to SEK 0.34 (-0.23) during 2018 and to SEK 0.10 (-0.22) during the fourth quarter. Equity per share amounted to SEK 5.14 (4.47) at the end of 2018.
The share price closed at SEK 3.18 on the final trading day of 2018, which was higher than at year-end 2017 when the share price closed at SEK 3.15.
The annual general meeting 2015 resolved on a share price related incentive programme for senior executives. Allocation in the programme was contingent upon that the share price, including dividends, in Tradedoubler increased with more than 100 per cent during the performance period starting on 1 June 2015 and ending 31 May 2018. This requirement was not met and thus no allocation was granted in the programme.
The company's long-term financial targets, adopted by the board of directors, are to grow net sales in excess of 5 per cent annually in local currency and deliver an EBITDA/Gross profit-ratio in excess of 20 per cent over a business cycle.
