First-half growth for the open-ended subscription range reflects the increase in commercial investments, combined with work to enhance the marketing mix and the development of new promotional packages. Open-ended subscription lines represented 75% of the gross sales volume and 64% of net sales at 30 June 2014.

The fixed-term subscription range and books, merchandise, audio and video lines are down, factoring in the planned reduction in the volumes of customers prospected on these product lines.

Alongside this, ADLPartner has continued moving forward with the diversification of its business into digital marketing.

Outlook

The strategy to create value through ADLPartner's know-how is contributing towards further strengthening positions on its longstanding business lines, while also developing new sources of growth.

i Gross sales volume represents the value of subscriptions and other products sold.

ii 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.
