Buoyed by growth in the active subscription portfolio, the open-ended subscription offering achieved 5.2% growth in its gross sales volume and 7.1% in net sales at 30 September 2011. This business contributed 54.3% of net sales over the first nine months of 2011, compared with 51.2% the previous year.
The tradeoff between product lines is reflected in a reduction in the contribution by the fixed-term subscription range, with its gross sales volume contracting by 14.4% and net sales down 14.9%.
The books, merchandise, audio and video line is stable in relation to the previous year.
In light of the quality and recurrent nature of its open-ended subscription portfolio, ADLPartner is confident that it will be able to continue developing over the medium term.

1 Gross sales volume represents the value of subscriptions and other products sold.
2 Net sales (determined in line with the French professional status for subscription sales) only include the amount of compensation paid by magazine publishers; for subscription sales, net sales therefore correspond to a gross margin, deducting the cost of magazines sold from the amount of sales recorded.
