"The underlying gross profit trend in Q2 (excluding previously communicated losses) is in line with recent quarters. These year-on-year losses will start to phase out from Q3 as they are the result of client losses during 2014 and the first half of 2015. Throughout the first half of this year we have placed an increased focus on efficiencies and this has resulted in a reduction in costs and an improved EBITDA.
We have rolled out our full service programmatic solution, TD ENGAGE, in the UK and Germany and are already seeing encouraging results and interest from clients. We will roll out TD ENGAGE in all other markets during Q3.
During the first half of 2016 we took a minority share in DynAdmic, a company specialising in targeted contextual video, and we also took a minority share in R-Advertising, an affiliate marketing company. These strategic investments allow us to expand the scope of our customer-focused digital marketing offering.
In June we opened an office in Singapore to capitalise on the many opportunities that we see in the developing South East Asian e-commerce market. We are already having positive conversations and first signatures with both existing and new clients about working with them in the region.
During the second quarter we enhanced our market-leading tracking solution with the launch of Cross Device tracking in the UK, Germany and France and we will roll this out in other markets during Q3. In Q3 2015 we launched Cookieless tracking which is already delivering measurable results. We estimate that Cross Device will have an even greater impact on revenue generation as it significantly improves the sophistication and accuracy of our tracking.
We have ambitious plans to expand our offering: we will continue to develop new technologies that enhance our capabilities; we will seek out further strategic partnerships and acquisitions that extend our client-focused offering and will open new offices where we see the opportunity to develop our business.
The positive developments during the first half of 2016 and our ambitious future plans mean that we are continuing to make good progress with bringing Tradedoubler back to profitable growth."
Stockholm – 30 August 2016 Matthias Stadelmeyer
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 7.
Consolidated net sales during the interim period amounted to SEK 694 M (846). Excluding change related items net sales were SEK 694 M (851), a decline of 18 per cent or 16 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Consolidated net sales during the second quarter 2016 were SEK 322 M (414). Excluding change related items, net sales were SEK 322 M (419). This was a decline of 23 per cent or 20 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Gross profit during the interim period was SEK 151 M (168). Gross profit excluding change related items was SEK 151 M (173), which was a decline of 12 per cent or 10 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Gross profit during the second quarter was SEK 71 M (78). Gross profit excluding change related items was SEK 71 M (84), a decrease of 15 per cent or 13 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. In the first quarter 2016 the comparable decline, adjusted for exchange rates, was -8 per cent, hence five percentage points less than in the second quarter. This can to a large extent be explained by the timing of the previously communicated loss of some major customers in 2015. These effects in the comparison figures will start to phase out in the coming quarter.
Gross margin, excluding change related items, during the interim period was 21.8 per cent (20.3) and 22.0 per cent (19.9) in the second quarter. This improvement is largely explained by a decline of low margin revenue.
Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 159 M (185) during the interim period. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 157 M (176), a decrease of 10 percent or 8 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 73 M (91) during the second quarter. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 72 M (90). This was a decrease of 19 per cent or 17 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The reduced cost can mainly be explained by a reduction in the number of employees and various efficiency projects that has been put in place.
Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) during the interim period was SEK -8 M (-17). Adjusted for change related costs EBITDA amounted to SEK -6 M (-3). Depreciation and amortisation was SEK 9 M (13) and operating profit (EBIT) during the interim period amounted to SEK -17 M (-29).
Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the second quarter was SEK -2 M (-13). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK -2 M (-6). Depreciation and amortisation was SEK 5 M (6) and operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK -7 M (-19).
Net financial items during the interim period were SEK -10 M (-9) where of exchange rate effects were SEK -1.5 M (-3.5). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -8 M (-5) and were mainly affected by interest income, revaluations of short term investments and interest expense relating to the bond issue.
Net financial items in the second quarter were SEK –4 M (-7) where of exchange rates effects were SEK -0.2 M (-2.5). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -4 M (-4).
During the interim period corporate income tax was SEK -1.3 M (6) and profit after tax was SEK -28 M (-32). In the second quarter corporate income tax was SEK 0.4 M (4) and profit after tax was SEK -11 M (-22).
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 7.
Tradedoubler's segments mainly consists of TD CONVERT (previously Affiliate) and TD CONNECT (previously Technology). These both segments together sum up to Performance marketing. Within TD CONVERT the market units are DACH (Germany, Switzerland and Austria), France & Benelux (France, Belgium and Netherlands), Nordics (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Poland), South (Italy, Brazil, Portugal and Spain) and UK & Ireland (UK and Ireland).
Tradedoubler's core business Performance Marketing includes TD CONVERT and TD CONNECT, which in previous reports were known as Affiliate and Technology respectively. Net sales referring to the recently launched TD ENGAGE are included in TD CONVERT.
Net sales within Performance Marketing during the interim period were SEK 686 M (833), which was a decrease of 18 per cent or 15 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Net sales for TD CONVERT decreased by 18 per cent or 15 per cent adjusted for exchange rates, while net sales within TD CONNECT decreased by 12 per cent or 10 per cent adjusted for exchange rates.
Net sales within Performance Marketing during the second quarter were SEK 318 M (407), which was a decrease of 22 per cent or 19 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Net sales for TD CONVERT decreased by 23 per cent or 20 per cent adjusted for exchange rates, while net sales within TD CONNECT increased by 21 per cent or 26 per cent adjusted for exchange rates. This increase is related to the one-time adjustement in the second quarter 2015 related to errors within recurring invoicing. The underlying development within TD CONNECT was negative when excluding this one-time effect.
EBITDA for Performance Marketing during the interim period was SEK 40 M (52). EBITDA for Performance Marketing during the second quarter was SEK 16 M (25).
Net sales within Tradedoubler's non-core business, "Other", during the interim period amounted to SEK 8 M (13), which was a decline of 32 per cent or 31 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the second quarter "Other" net sales amounted to SEK 4 M (7), which was a decline of 43 per cent or 41 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. "Other" is primarily constituted of the non-strategic campaigns business, which is continuing to decline according to plan.
EBITDA was SEK 1.4 M (3) during the interim period. EBITDA was SEK 0.7 M (3) during the second quarter.
Costs for group management and support functions during the interim period amounted to SEK 49 (72), a decline of 31 per cent or 31 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Costs during the second quarter were SEK 18 M (40), a decrease of 54 per cent or 54 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The decrease is mainly due to cost savings and efficiency improvements that has included a revised structure for group management and a reduction in administrative employees.

Segments include change related items, see page 7 for more details about the segments affected.
Cash flow from operating activities, before changes in working capital, amounted to SEK -17 M (-21) during the interim period and related to EBITDA adjusted for paid taxes, paid interest and non-cash items. Changes in working capital were SEK -72 M (-9). As communicated in the fourth quarter 2015 the change in working capital was largely caused by an abnormal increase in prepayments from customers. The prepayment balance has now come down to a more normal level and thus impacted the cash flow negatively.
Net investments in tangible and intangible assets during the interim period amounted to SEK 18 M (20). These investments mainly related to product development.
Cashflow from short term investments amounted to SEK 23 M (155). Cashflow amounted to SEK -94 M (102).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK -4 M (-14) in the second quarter 2016 and related to EBITDA reduced with paid taxes, paid interest and non-cash items. Changes in working capital were SEK -72 M (-18). As mentioned above, changes in working capital mainly relate to the movement within prepayments from customers. On a 12 month rolling basis changes in working capital is only SEK -6 M.
Net investments in tangible and intangible assets during the second quarter amounted to SEK 8 M (8). Cash flow amounted to SEK -73 M (54) and net cash decreased by SEK -96 M (-42).
Tradedoubler has invested parts of the proceeds from the bond issue in December 2013 in interest bearing financial instruments. At the end of the second quarter 2016 a total of SEK 69 M (105) was placed in interest bearing financial
instruments. The decrease can be explained by a revised Financial Policy that prohibits investments in high yield bonds. Previously held high yield bonds have therefore been sold during the second quarter 2015.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the interim period amounted to SEK 158 (218) M and were affected by translation differences of SEK -0.5 M (-0.1). In addition, SEK 69 M (105) was invested in interest-bearing financial instruments. The sum of cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing financial assets was therefore SEK 227 M (323). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 247 M (246) and related to the five-year unsecured bond issue with maturity date in the fourth quarter 2018. Net cash hence amounted to SEK -21 M (77) at the end of the interim period 2016.
Consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 222 M (411) at the end of the interim period and the equity/asset ratio was 25.5 per cent (34). The return on equity during the rolling 12 months ending June 2016 was negative.
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 the interim period 2016 change related items amounted to SEK -1.7 which related to severance payments and costs for the long-term incentive programme.
During the interim period 2015 change related items amounted to SEK -14 M and included change related revenue of SEK 0.8 M referring to badwill in the acquisition of Adnologies (Group Management) and an adjustment for errors in recurring invoicing for one large customer of SEK -5 M (Technology). Change related costs amounted to SEK -9 M and included costs related to the acquisition of Adnologies of SEK -2 M (Group Management), costs for closing down the office in Norway of SEK -2 M (Nordics), severance payments of SEK -2 M (South), SEK -1 M (DACH) and SEK -2 M (Group Management).
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 before Christmas, which implies that the fourth quarter is normally the strongest for Tradedoubler.
The parent company's net sales amounted to SEK 36 M (36) during the interim period and to SEK 17 M (18) during the second quarter. Revenue primarily consisted of internal licensing revenue to subsidiaries.
Operating profit (EBIT) was SEK -20 M (-36) during the interim period and SEK -8 M (-22) during the second quarter.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -8 M (-6) during the interim period and to SEK -4 M (-4) during the second quarter. Changes in exchange rates have impacted the interim period with SEK –1.4 M (-1.5).
Corporate taxes were SEK 0 M (9) during the interim period and SEK 0 M (5) during the second quarter. Profit after tax was SEK -28 M (-33) during the interim period and SEK -12 M (-21) during the second quarter.
The parent company's receivables from group companies amounted to SEK 62 M (73) at the end of the second quarter 2016, of which none (0) were non-current. The parent company's liabilities to group companies were SEK 97 M (127), of which none (0) were non-current. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 129 M (154) at the end of the second quarter 2016.
During the fourth quarter 2013 the parent company issued a bond loan with the nominal value of SEK 250 M. Parts of the proceeds from the bond loan have been invested in short term investments.
Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 14 M (47) at the end of the second quarter 2016 and related to previous Group loans of SEK 14 M. The decrease versus the end of second quarter 2015 mainly related to revised assumptions of the possibility to use loss carried forward. For more information, see notes to the consolidated financial statements, note C2 Critical estimates and judgements, in the Annual Report 2015.
At the end of the second quarter 2016, Tradedoubler's staff corresponded to 367 (384) full-time equivalents (FTE) and included permanent and temporary employees as well as consultants. Within Products & IT total FTEs were 47 (50). During the second quarter 2016 total headcount decreased from 396 to 367.
In June Tradedoubler announced the opening of an office in Singapore to expand its offering to Asia. Tradedoubler will be based in the same Singapore offices as Reworld Media, its largest shareholder. Since 2013 Reworld has successfully established a number of online titles in the Asia/Pacific region and the two groups will work together to maximise potential traffic and database synergies.
Also in June Tradedoubler acquired a minority share in the video company DynAdmic. Through its partnership with DynAdmic Tradedoubler is the first company to bring video into the performance arena. The holding will be reported as a financial asset in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.
Tradedoubler divides risks into market-related risks, operational risks, financial risks and legal risks. These risks are described on page 8 in the 2015 Annual Report. No significant risks and uncertainty factors have arisen in addition to those described in the 2015 annual report.
For information regarding critical estimates and judgements in the financial statements, see note C2 in the 2015 annual report. No critical estimates or judgements are considered to have arisen since the latest submitted annual report.
Aside from transactions in the normal course of business, to board and senior executives the following third party transactions have occurred during the interim period 2016. Reworld Media has, as a publisher in France received remuneration of 20 KEUR and since January 2016 Reworld Media is providing HR-support to the French subsidiary at the cost of 3 KEUR per month. Tradedoubler's Singapore operation will be conducted from the same office as Reworld Media, the company's largest shareholder. The arm's length principle has been applied on these transactions.
Pascal Chevalier, Gautier Normand, Nils Carlsson, Jérémy Parola and Erik Siekmann were re-elected as board members. Pascal Chevalier was re-elected as chairman of the board of directors.
The annual general meeting resolved on remuneration to the board of directors where remuneration of SEK 763,000 shall be paid to each of Pascal Chevalier and Gautier Normand, and remuneration of SEK 180,000 shall be paid to each of Nils Carlsson, Jérémy Parola and Erik Siekmann.
The annual general meeting resolved on principles for remuneration and other conditions of employment for the company management.
The annual general meeting resolved to authorise the board of directors, until the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, to resolve on new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles. The proposal was adjusted by the board of directors to include a limit of issuing shares, warrants and/or convertibles corresponding to a maximum fifty (50) per cent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company per the date of the annual general meeting.
The annual general meeting resolved to authorise the board of directors, until the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions, to resolve on the acquisition of a maximum number own shares so that, after the purchase, the company holds not more than ten per cent of the total number of shares in the company.
The annual general meeting resolved to authorise the board of directors, until the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions, to resolve on the transfer of shares in the company.

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 17 countries involving eight different currencies, with Euro (EUR) and British pounds (GBP) representing the majority share. During the second quarter 2016 approximately 49 (42) per cent of group sales were made in EUR and approximately 29 (36) per cent in GBP. Approximately 33 (29) per cent of the group's operational costs were in EUR and approximately 29 (21) per cent in GBP. Net investments in foreign currency 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.
On 14 July 2016 Tradedoubler purchased a share in the French affiliate marketing company R Advertising, which will allow Tradedoubler to expand its performance-based offering in France. The holding will be reported as an associated company according to the equity method. Tradedoubler's chairman of the board that holds an indirect minority share in R Advertising has not participated in decisions regarding the investment.
This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, interim financial reporting and the Swedish annual accounts act. The nature of financial assets and liabilities is essentially the same as at 31 December 2015 and the carrying values are
the same as the fair values with the exception of the bond loan which fair value according to level 2 amounts to SEK 130 M (based on liquid trading price) compared to the carrying amount of SEK 247 M. No new or amended standards have been applied in 2016. For information on the accounting policies applied, see the 2015 annual report.
The total number of shares at the end of the second quarter 2016 was 45,927,449 (42,332,449), of which 3,595,000 (475,000) were in own custody. In the third quarter 2015 a new share issue was conducted of a total of 3,120,000 C-shares, relating to a long-term incentive program for management. The share issue has resulted in a changed registered share capital and changed number of shares and votes in Tradedoubler. The average number of outstanding shares during 2016 was 42,332,449.
Earnings per share, before and after dilution, amounted to SEK -0.66 (-0.76) during the interim period and to SEK -0.26 (-0.52) during the second quarter. Equity per share amounted to SEK 4.82 (9.72) at the end of the interim period.
The share price closed at SEK 6.30 on the final trading day of the second quarter 2016, which was higher than at year-end 2015 when the share price closed at SEK 5.55.
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 profitratio in excess of 20 per cent over a business cycle.

TradeDoubler AB (publ), corporate identity number 556575-7423
We have reviewed the condensed interim report for TradeDoubler AB (publ) as of June 30, 2016 and for the six months' period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
