Marketing push focused on Q4 campaign to address Black Friday and Christmas opportunity

ePRICE highlights that, also due to the negative trend registered by the reference market, the first nine months of 2017 results showed a slowdown in growth trends with respect to initial expectations. Historically, the last quarter of the year impacts significantly the results of the full year, and as a reference, in 2016 the last quarter represented around 36% of the overall GMV and revenues of the year.
Therefore, the likelihood of ePRICE reaching its target of profitability improvement, as set out in the guidance disclosed last September, is strictly linked to the trend in the reference market and to the results that will be achieved in this last quarter of the year; as already stated, a marketing push through a TV and radio campaign has been also planned for the last quarter of the year.
ePRICE further highlights that the Net Financial Position historically improves in the last quarter of the year, thanks to business seasonality. We therefore expect the Net Financial Position at the end of the year to improve with respect to 9M17.
