CEO's comments on the first half-year 2011
Urban Gillström, President and CEO
TradeDoubler's core business, Network, continued to develop strongly during the second quarter of the year and the group doubled its operating profit compared with the corresponding period of last year. The improvement was explained by continued good sales growth and the completed structural changes.
Sales increased during the second quarter by 13 percent in local currencies compared with the equivalent period of last year. All in all, the total market continues to grow, but with significant differences between various business segments, countries and service areas.
Despite the weak market conditions in Southern Europe, the market for Internet advertising also continued to grow there. However, we still faced challenges with our sales in Spain and could note that the market growth in France and Italy was lower than in the first quarter of the year. In particular, it was clear that the travel segment in Southern Europe was adversely affected by the weaker market conditions.
The market developed more positively in Northern and Central Europe, particularly in Germany where the increase in Internet advertising impacted our sales positively. The UK also continued to perform strongly, while in North East Europe, we continued to see strong sales within Affiliate, but noted a negative development within Campaigns.
Consolidated gross profit rose by 6 per cent in local currencies. Gross profit in the core business Network increased by 7 per cent, while in Technology it decreased by 4 per cent and gross profit in Search remained at the same level as the previous year.
Within Network, I am delighted about Affiliate's success, where the business volume developed well, both globally and locally. At the same time, I have identified a number of necessary improvement measures within Campaigns. We are now increasing our efforts to establish new clients and new programmes and to recruit new publishers.
Technology faced certain challenges during the quarter, but is following the plan for improvement that we established last year. Search showed a stabilisation during the quarter in a tough market environment and continued its improvements.
We are continuing to invest in new products and in improved support systems in order to boost sales, improve productivity and ensure cost efficiency and scalable profitable growth.
We are currently in a very outward-focused phase in the day-today operations, directed towards developing new business and on strengthening our relationships with advertisers, media agencies, and publishers.
Urban Gillström, President and CEO
Market growth in TradeDoubler's core segment Network continued during the second quarter. However, the growth rate varied sharply between different geographical markets and between Affiliate and Campaigns.
TradeDoubler's revenue within Network was 13 per cent higher in local currencies during the second quarter 2011 compared with the corresponding quarter of 2010. This was higher than the estimated market growth of 10 per cent in TradeDoubler's addressable market.
Market growth was positive in the South East and South West market units compared with the previous year but was lower than in the first quarter. The financial situation pressed the propensity to consume even more than previously and impacted negatively on advertisers' overall advertising budgets, both offline and online. Important vertical market segments, not least Travel, displayed significantly lower growth.
The market in France was more positive, even though the market was not as optimistic here either as during the two previous quarters. On comparison with the same period last year, we should also take account of the upswing in online advertising brought about by the legalisation of internet gambling in France. Travel sales were pressed by the political turbulence in many popular tourist countries in North Africa.
Market growth in the UK and Ireland was roughly the same as in the first quarter. The macroeconomic effects of the national budgetary cuts that have been announced and price conscious consumers are driving the growth of group buy and coupon sites. These now represent a significant portion of TradeDoubler's market.
Germany functions as an economic locomotive in Central Europe with very robust GNP growth which is driving up consumption and advertising budgets throughout the region. Market growth was thus strong, even though not quite as strong as during the first quarter. This was also clear in Austria and in the Netherlands, while the picture was more mixed in Switzerland and Belgium.
In North East Europe, all markets showed high growth, although not quite as high as in the first quarter. The Nordic region had favourable market conditions in the travel industry while several retail segments showed lower growth than in the previous quarter. Poland continued to show high growth and Lithuania recovered from the lowest point of last year.
Most of TradeDoubler's markets showed signs of higher degrees of maturity in terms of the breadth and depth of competition. Advertising clients have strengthened their competence in the area and so have intermediaries such as media agencies. However, TradeDoubler's margins have still not been systematically affected by the degree of maturity in any individual market. In the longer term, continuous pressure on profitability is anticipated to drive consolidation of the market, which may be expected to offer advantages to performancebased networks which have a strong local position and international reach.
Another more important factor for the group's profitability is the business mix – the relative division between the long-term Affiliate business and the short-term Campaigns business. TradeDoubler's strong position within the Affiliate business in most markets impacted negatively on the gross margin in Network.
Yet a factor which affects development of the gross margin is the relative importance of international business – services to large clients in many geographical regions. The company successfully increased its international portfolio during the second quarter with a negative effect on the gross margin but with large volume which more than compensated for this in absolute terms.
A new EU directive became effective during the second quarter which regulates the use of cookies. The directive means that websites which use cookies must advise what these cookies are used for and also secure consent from website visitors to use cookies. Several countries introduced new legislation in this area, but as this is usually more general, it is not possible at present to analyse the effects in detail.
Consolidated net sales increased during the first half-year to SEK 1,443.8 M, which represented a rise of 14 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the second quarter, net sales amounted to SEK 694.4 M, an increase of 13 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Gross profit was unchanged in principle during the first half-year at SEK 323.9 M. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates, the increase was 9 percent. During the second quarter, gross profit amounted to SEK 157.2 M, which represented an increase of 6 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Network continued to develop strongly during the first half-year and increased its gross profit to SEK 281.2 M, a rise of 12 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Currency-adjusted, Technology and Search declined by 10 and 9 per cent respectively.
Operating costs during the first half-year fell to SEK 253.4 M, a decrease of 4 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The decrease was mainly a result of the focus on cost control.
Operating profit improved during the first half-year to SEK 53.7 M, an increase of 224 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Profitability improved during the first half-year and the operating/gross profit margin increased to 16.6 (7.9) per cent. During the second quarter, operating profit was SEK 20.2 M, an increase of 212 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Financial income and expenses during the first half-year amounted to SEK -6.6 M (9.1), which was explained by the negative effect of changes in exchange rates which affected the valuation of intra-group transactions. At the end of the six-month period, the group had no interest-bearing loans (0.0).
Profit after tax during the first half-year was SEK 39.0, an increase of 38 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the second quarter, profit after tax amounted to SEK 20.3 M, a drop of 13.1 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rate.

Sales to existing clients developed positively, both as a result of deeper client relationships, particularly with international clients and by virtue of new products. Larger customer contracts create the potential for higher productivity, which is partly offset, however, by the fact that such clients have a stronger negotiating position by virtue of their size. A maturing market and certain price competition from new players also results in pressure on margins. Business volume from downloadable material and discount sites continued to grow while the travel industry was held back by the weak economic climate.
Gross profit during the first half-year increased by 12 per cent in local currencies to SEK 281.2 M. Gross profit increased in all market units apart from South West and France.
The service areas Affiliate and Campaigns, which accounted for 80 and 20 per cent respectively of gross profit during the first half-year within Network, both developed positively. Relatively speaking, Affiliate developed stronger due to a more competitive market position. During the second quarter, gross profit was SEK 135.9 M, a rise of 7 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Operating profit (EBIT) during the first half-year strengthened to SEK 54.3 M, a rise of 219 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Increases were also noted here in all market units besides South West. The improvement in North West was particularly strong. Central and South East also developed strongly. During the second quarter, operating profit was SEK 21.7 M, an increase of 155 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
The largest market unit Central improved its gross profit during the second quarter to SEK 31.2 M, an increase of 12 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The rise was mainly explained by a strong development in Germany and Switzerland which are benefitting from well-established client relationships. We saw growth across the board with increased revenue from both Affiliate and Campaigns. Operating profit in the unit improved to SEK 5.0 M (-0.1).
Gross profit in the second largest unit North East, improved during the second quarter by 1 per cent, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, to SEK 30.6 M and operating profit improved to SEK 1.4 M (0.8). All in all, revenue from Affiliate services increased, primarily generated from the existing client base while revenues from Campaigns decreased. Strong competition and some bottlenecks adversely affected certain markets in the unit.
Weaker market conditions in the travel and retail segments meant that the strong development during the first quarter in unit France slowed, and the unit achieved a gross profit for the second quarter of SEK 23.0 M which adjusted for changes in exchange rates, was unchanged. Services within Affiliate increased. Operating profit improved to SEK 6.5 M (5.0).
Unit North West reported a gross profit during the second quarter of SEK 26.3 M, a rise of 23 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates, and an operating profit of SEK 0.8 M (-0.8), which represented a continued improvement. After having been adversely affected by a large number of public holidays in April, the unit gradually improved its gross profit during the period.
Unit South East strengthened its gross profit during the second quarter to SEK 15.5 M, an increase of 13 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Operating profit improved to SEK 6.4 M (4.2). The unit continued to win market share.
Gross profit in the unit South West amounted to SEK 9.3 M during the second quarter, a decline of 12 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The unit was pressed by the weak economic situation in Spain and Portugal and thereby lower activity within Campaigns. The reduced business volume also affected profitability and operating profit decreased to SEK 1.6 M (2.1).
The business segment Technology was negatively impacted by individual customer movements. Costs remained under control.
Gross profit during the first half-year decreased by 10 per cent in local currencies to SEK 25.6. France, which is the segment's largest market, developed well with an increase of 11 per cent while the second largest market, Germany, saw a slight decrease. Sales in Poland developed strongly. During the second quarter, gross profit decreased to SEK 13.7 M, a decline of 4 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Operating profit (EBIT) during the first half-year fell by 17 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates to SEK 10.7 M. Impairment of trade receivables of SEK 1.5 M during the first quarter was charged to results. During the second quarter, operating profit fell to SEK 4.9 M, a decline of 24 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
The market climate continued to be tough with hard competition which is pressing margins. The segment continued to focus on stemming the sales decline in the UK, cutting operational costs and boosting international growth.
Gross profit was unchanged in local currency during the second quarter, which resulted in a decline in gross profit of 9 per cent during the first half-year to SEK 17.0 M. Some signs of improvements may be discerned in the business, although staff turnover was still high. Operations outside the UK grew. France and Sweden, which are both important markets, developed very strongly with rises in local currency of 80 and 182 per cent respectively during the first half-year.
Operating profit (EBIT) during the first half-year improved slightly to SEK -11.2 M (-13.7). Operating profit was SEK -6.5 M (-8.8) during the second quarter. Bad debts losses in Germany reduced operating profit by SEK 1.1 M.
TradeDoubler's operations, particularly within Network and Search, fluctuate with the development of e-commerce. Ecommerce is in a phase of underlying positive growth which, however, shows variations during the year. The highest level of activity is before Christmas which implies that the fourth quarter is normally the strongest for TradeDoubler.
The parent company's net sales amounted to SEK 92.6 M (60.4) during the first half-year. Revenue primarily consisted of licensing revenue and remuneration from subsidiaries for centrally performed services. The higher net sales are primarily due to increased licensing revenue. Profit after tax amounted to SEK 22.0 M (1.6).
The parent company's receivables from subsidiaries amounted to SEK 302.5 M (311.2) at the end of the half-year period, of which there were no (0.0) non-current receivables. The parent company's liabilities to subsidiaries amounted to SEK 132.8 M (133.0) of which there were no (0.0) non-current liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 50.2 M (-0.7).
The cash flow from operating activities during the first half-year amounted to SEK 12.5 M (-103.8), after a change in working capital of SEK -42.5 M (-117.1). The change in working capital was partly seasonal but the improvement should also be seen in the light of the fact that the comparative period was strongly affected by a normalisation of cash flows after the completed rights issue during last year. The cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital during the first halfyear amounted to SEK 55.0 M (13.3). The cash flow from operating activities during the second quarter was -30.7 (-24.4) MSEK.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 214.3 M (121.5) at the end of the period. The group had no interesting-bearing loans (0.0).
Consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 551.1 M (503.4). Since the start of the year, shareholders' equity has increased by SEK 34.3 M, on account of comprehensive income for the first half-year.
The return on equity for the latest rolling 12-month period was 13.3 (-44.8) per cent and amounted to 12.3 per cent during the full year 2010.
No transactions between TradeDoubler and related parties significantly impacting the company's financial position results have taken place.
At the end of the second quarter, TradeDoubler's had the equivalent of 535 (589) full-time employees/full-time equivalents (FTEs), which includes full-time, temporary and contract employees.
The average number of full-time equivalents was 541 (593) during the period. The average number of full-time equivalents was 567 during the full year 2010.
TradeDoubler divides risks into market-related risks, operational risks, financial risks and legal risks. These risks are described in the annual report for 2010, see the following link: http://financials.tradedoubler.com/sv/Verksamheten/Risker-ochosakerhetsfaktorer/. It is assessed that no significant risks or uncertainties have arisen.
This interim report is prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. For information on the accounting policies applied, see the 2010 Annual Report. The accounting policies and methods of calculation are unchanged, compared with the 2010 annual report. The group has changed its segment reporting from January 2011 in accordance with the new operational follow-up which is applied internally, compared to 2010.
The total number of shares at the end of the period amounted to 42,807,449 shares (of which 130,000 shares in own custody). The average number of outstanding shares during the interim period was 42,677,449.
Earnings per share after full dilution amounted to SEK 0.91 (0.70). Equity per share amounted to SEK 12.50 (11.50). At the end of the interim period, the share price was SEK 40.50, which was lower than the price at year-end which was SEK 49.50 but higher than one year ago when it was SEK 30.00.
Both an English version and a Swedish version of this report have been prepared. In the event of a difference between the two reports, the Swedish version shall prevail.
The interim report is presented at a press and analyst conference on 3 August at 10.00 a.m. in TradeDoubler's premises at Sveavägen 20, Stockholm.

The basis of the operations is that TradeDoubler arranges and optimises ads and campaign space between advertisers and publishers of websites. Through its knowledge of internet marketing, technology platforms for handling transactions and tracking visitors, advanced administrative system and affiliate network, TradeDoubler improves business for both advertisers and publishers. TradeDoubler is able to receive payment in relation to the result generated since the outcome is clearly measurable.
A large portion of TradeDoubler's revenue is performance-based. Remuneration from advertisers to publishers – and to TradeDoubler – is only payable when the visitor performs a certain activity, such as clicking on an ad or executing a purchase.
The activities which determine the remuneration are CPM (costper-thousands impressions), CPC (cost-per-click), CPL (cost-perlead) and CPA (cost-per-action). Which one or combination of these activities forms the basis for the remuneration is decided on a case-by-case-basis. CPA and CPC are the most common. TradeDoubler's system tracks the customer activities generated by a certain advert in order to calculate the remuneration.
