ASX Announcement 01 October 2024

Commercial Update

Adslot Ltd (ASX: ADS) (“Adslot” or the “Company”) today announces an update to commercial arrangements with international agency group, GroupM, for the provision of the Symphony workflow management solution as well as updates on other commercial initiatives.

Extension of the Symphony Contract with GroupM

Adslot Ltd is pleased to announce that overnight we successfully executed the extension of our Symphony contract with GroupM for an additional two years. This update follows the previous announcement on 19 April 2024. This extended partnership underscores the confidence and trust that GroupM places in the Symphony platform. Notably, the renewed contract includes a substantial 45% price increase to monthly revenue from September 2024 across 8 markets in APAC and EMEA, reflecting the growing value and impact of Symphony in driving media trading efficiencies for GroupM.

Annual Extension of the REA Contract

We are also pleased to confirm the annual extension of our contract with REA Group. This extension incorporates an inflation-based price increase, ensuring that our financial agreements remain sustainable and reflective of current economic conditions. Our continued partnership with REA Group signifies the value that our specialist software provides.

Progress on StoreFront Opportunities

In a continuation of our focus on the deployment of Publisher StoreFronts, the Company advises that:

  • the Sonnant StoreFront has been deployed, with first trades expected in October 2024;

  • the Rakuten Viber StoreFront has been developed and the Company is now working closely with Rakuten Viber on launch activity to deploy it in their identified initial markets;

  • a joint project team is working to develop a StoreFront for one of the UK’s largest premium publishers;

  • commercial negotiations are progressing in Germany to develop a StoreFront with a leading publisher whilst also continuing to build out the supply side of the Open Marketplace; and

  • progress continues to be made in Australia with a significant publisher.

In addition, the Company’s sales teams are actively working with new and existing clients in the UK, Australia, and Germany to assess additional opportunities for StoreFront. The initial market reaction is very encouraging with publishers looking to counteract diminishing programmatic driven revenue and maximise yields from direct sales.

These efforts have resulted in meaningful reductions in our cost base, thereby improving our overall financial position. As part of the cost discipline, we have also sharpened where we are investing to accelerate revenue realisation.

In summary, the Company is making progress on its turnaround plan.
