CEO MATTHIAS STADELMEYER'S COMMENTS

"This is the second consecutive quarter in which the gross profit trend improved year-onyear compared to previous quarters. This positive development is linked to increasing business from key clients and a general positive underlying trend across most countries. It is also the result of new product launches such as ADAPT, User Journey Reporting and Fingerprint Tracking and overall improvements to our systems and processes.

In April 2016 we launched TD ENGAGE which is a solution that helps online retailers to find new customers and allows Tradedoubler to address a larger part of the digital marketplace. TD ENGAGE uses a powerful combination of data and artificial intelligence to understand purchase behaviour and to accurately identify and reach both new and existing customers with relevant, targeted advertising. It is currently being rolled out in the UK and Germany with positive initial results and will be extended to our other markets over the rest of 2016.

In April 2016 we also relaunched our affiliate and technology offerings under the names of TD CONVERT and TD CONNECT, bringing greater clarity to how our suite of solutions creates smarter results for our clients. To showcase all our solutions in a more compelling way and drive increased engagement with clients and prospects we have developed a new corporate website, tradedoubler.com.

During the second quarter 2016 Tradedoubler will launch an initial version of Cross Device Tracking, a market-leading solution that will enable Tradedoubler to track the online purchase journeys of individual customers across multiple devices. To build on our heritage in innovation we recently launched TD Ventures, a business accelerator programme with a fund of €5 million to invest in digital start-ups. We are seeking companies that complement our existing business or that are pioneering new digital technologies. The development of these new client-led solutions and the launch of TD Ventures are integral to our strategy to address a broader digital marketplace.

We are making good progress with our continued work to bring Tradedoubler back to profitable growth."

Stockholm – 3 May 2016 Matthias Stadelmeyer

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 6.

Consolidated net sales during the first quarter 2016 were SEK 372 M (432). Excluding change related items, net sales were SEK 372 M (431). This was a decline of 14 per cent or 12 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Gross profit during the first quarter was SEK 81 M (90). Gross profit excluding change related items was SEK 81 M (89), a decrease of 10 per cent or 8 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. In the third and fourth quarters of 2015 the comparable declines, adjusted for exchange rates, were 17 and 13 per cent. Hence, the first quarter 2016 showed an improvement in the year-on-year gross profit decline for the second consecutive quarter.

Gross margin, excluding change related items, was 21.7 per cent (20.7) in the first quarter and the improvement can predominantly be explained by a decline of low margin revenue.

Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 86 M (94) during the first quarter. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 85 M (86). This was a decrease of 1 per cent, or an increase of 1 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the first quarter was SEK -5 M (-4). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK -4 M (3). Depreciation and amortisation was SEK -5 M (-6) and operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK -10 M (-10).

EBITDA (SEK M) / EBITDA/GP (%), EXCLUDING CHANGE RELATED ITEMS

Net financial items in the first quarter were SEK –5 M (-2.1). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -4 M (-1.1) and exchange rate effects were SEK -1.2 M (-0.9). The larger negative financial net compared to the first quarter 2015, referred to lower returns on excess cash due to a revised finance policy which prohibit investments in high yield bonds.

In the first quarter, corporate income tax was SEK -1.7 M (2) and profit after tax for the first quarter was SEK -17 M (-10).

CASH FLOW

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK -12 M (-8) in the first quarter 2016 and referred to EBITDA reduced with paid taxes, paid interest and non-cash items. Changes in working capital were SEK -0.2 M (9). As mentioned in the year-end report 2015, the working capital change in the fourth quarter was positively affected by temporary effects. These were reversed in January. At the end of the first quarter the working capital was affected by temporary effects of the same size as during the fourth quarter.

Investments in tangible and intangible assets during the first quarter amounted to SEK 10 M (12). Cash flow amounted to SEK -22 M (47) and net cash decreased by SEK -25 M (-7).

Tradedoubler has invested parts of the proceeds from the bond issue in December 2013 in interest bearing financial instruments. At the end of the first quarter 2016 a total of SEK 92 M (200) was placed in interest bearing financial instruments. The decrease can be explained by a revised Financial Policy that prohibits investments in high yield bonds. Previous held high yield bonds have therefore been sold during 2015.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter 2016 amounted to SEK 230 (165) M and was affected by translation differences of SEK -0.8 M (1). In addition, SEK 92 M (200) was invested in interest-bearing financial instruments. The sum of cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing financial assets was therefore SEK 322 M (365). 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 75 M (119) at the end of the first quarter 2016.

Consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 230 M (434) at the end of the first quarter 2016 and the equity/asset ratio was 23.9 per cent (35.3). The return on equity during the rolling 12 months ending March 2016 was negative.

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.

In the first quarter 2016 changed related items amounted to SEK -1 M and referred to costs for the long-term incentive programme which can vary considerably dependent upon short term share price changes. This affects Group Management in the segment reporting.

In the first quarter 2015 changed related items amounted to SEK -7 M and included changed related revenue of SEK 0.8 M referring to badwill in the acquisition of Adnologies (Group Management). Changed related costs amounted to SEK -8 M and included the acquisition of Adnologies of SEK -3 M (Group Management), costs for closing down the office in Norway of SEK -2 M (Nordics), moving costs for the UK office of SEK -2 M (UK & Ireland) and severance payments of SEK -1 M (South).

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 before Christmas, which implies that the fourth quarter is normally the strongest for Tradedoubler.

THE PARENT COMPANY

The parent company's net sales amounted to SEK 19 M (18) during the first quarter 2016 and primarily consisted of internal licensing revenue to subsidiaries. Operating profit (EBIT) was SEK -12 M (-14).

Net financial was SEK -4 M (-2) during the first quarter and included changes in exchange rates of SEK –0.2 M (-1). Corporate taxes were SEK 0 M (4) and profit after tax was SEK -16 M (-13).

The parent company's receivables from group companies amounted to SEK 64 M (141) at the end of the first quarter 2016, of which none (0) were non-current. The parent company's liabilities to group companies were SEK 139 M (210), of which none (0) were non-current. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 178 M (97) at the end of the first 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 were invested in short term investments at the end of the first quarter 2016.

Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 14 M (42) at the end of the first quarter 2016 mainly related to previous Group loans of SEK 14 M. The decrease versus the end of first quarter 2015 mainly related to revised assumptions of the possibility to use loss carried forwards. For more information, see notes to the consolidated financial statements, note C2 Critical estimates and judgements, in the Annual Report 2015.

EMPLOYEES

In the end of the first quarter 2016, Tradedoubler's staff corresponded to 396 (374) full-time equivalents (FTE) and included permanent and temporary employees as well as consultants. Within Products & IT total FTEs were 53 (46) and in March 2016, the expenditure equivalent of 41 (29) FTE were capitalised as product development investment and hence not accounted for as operating costs. During the first quarter 2016 total headcount decreased from 408 to 396.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE QUARTER

In December 2015, Reworld Media S.A. agreed to acquire additional shares from Henrik Kvick AB and in January 2016 Reworld increased its ownership in Tradedoubler from 17.8 to 29.95 per cent.

At an Extraordinary General Meeting 11 February 2016, Pascal Chevalier and Gautier Normand were re-elected as board members and Nils Carlsson, Jérémy Parola and Erik Siekmann were elected as new board members. Pascal Chevalier was elected chairman. Mikael Nachemsson, Henrik Kvick, Peter Åström and Mernosh Saatshi left the board of directors.

Tomas Ljunglöf, CFO of Tradedoubler, resigned in December 2015 and will leave the company after the Annual General Meeting on 3 May. Viktor Wågström, presently Head of group accounting, will be interim CFO until a permanent CFO is appointed.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

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.

CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Aside from transactions in the normal course of business, to board and senior executives the following third party transactions have occurred during the first quarter 2016. Reworld Media has, as a publisher in France received remuneration of 7 KEUR and since January 2016 Reworld Media is providing HR-support to the French subsidiary at the cost of 3 KEUR per month. The arm lengths principle has been applied on 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 17 countries involving eight different currencies, with Euro (EUR) and British pounds (GBP) representing the majority share. During the first quarter 2016 approximately 53 (46) per cent of group sales were made in EUR and approximately 36 (31) per cent in GBP. Approximately 28 (30) per cent of the group's costs were in EUR and approximately 25 (23) 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.

MISCELLANEOUS

Significant events after the balance sheet date

No significant events have occurred after the end of the reporting period.

Accounting policies

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.
