"Net sales have continued to decrease and have resulted in lower market share in the second quarter. Underlying gross profit declined in line with the trend from the previous quarter. The restructure launched at the end of last year is progressing according to plan and is still expected to reduce costs by SEK 55 M on an annual basis, with full impact from the second half of 2014.
We are focusing on generating profitable revenues and increasing operational efficiency. As mentioned in the previous interim report, several projects are running in parallel with the overall objective of improving operational performance, freeing up time for increased client facing activities and streamlining internal processes. We are also reviewing the company's strategy. I see substantial potential for improvements and I am content with the progress that has been made so far. Nevertheless it will take time until we see the financial impact of these efforts.
Our solid financial position, active owners and dedicated personnel as well as our strong product offering and large pan-European network of advertisers and publishers give us a good foundation to take advantage of an interesting and rapidly changing European market for performance marketing."
The combination of increased online and mobile commerce and digital advertising spend is positive for Tradedoubler. Nevertheless the performance marketing sector in Europe is becoming more competitive as new channels such as ad exchanges, social media and new formats including video and mobile are increasing their market share. As part of the company's strategy review process new opportunities, presented by the dynamic marketplace, are being examined.
The companys on-going product development roadmap continues to focus on the development and enhancement of Tradedoublers unique product offering, including both affiliate and white-label technology.
Consolidated net sales during the interim period amounted to SEK 856.1 M (1,018.2), a decline of 16 per cent or 20 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the second quarter, net sales amounted to SEK 410.8 M (490.3) which was a decline of 16 per cent or 21 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. More than half of the decline versus the second quarter of last year is due to the previously communicated factors; reduction in France largely related to market specific reductions in the e-mail channel with full effect from the third quarter 2013, lower revenues from two large pan-European customers and reductions in non-core business and markets where offices were recently closed.
Gross profit during the interim period was SEK 191.9 M (233.4), which was a decline of 18 per cent or 22 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the second quarter, gross profit amounted to SEK 90.7 M (114.0), a decrease of 20 per cent or 25 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The gross profit generation relating to the above mentioned pan-European customers almost ceased at the end of the first quarter. Gross profit for these customers was SEK 5.0 M in the first quarter and SEK 0.6 M in the second quarter. The gross margin during the interim period was 22.1 per cent (22.9) and decreased predominently due to the developments in the second quarter. Approximately half of the gross margin decrease in the second quarter can be explained by a relatively larger decrease within non-core business, with higher margins than for Tradedoubler as a whole, and the rest is related to margin pressure in core business.
Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 188.7 M (194.6) during the interim period, a decrease of 3 per cent or 6 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the quarter operating costs amounted to SEK 99.5 M (94.2), an increase of 6 per cent or 2 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the quarter change related costs were 12.4 M. These were primarily attributed to tax related costs relating to the administrative closure of offices and costs for the dismissal of the former CEO and Chief strategy Officer. At the same time the restructuring programme communicated at year-end 2013 has progressed as planned and impacted the cost for the interim period positively.
Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) during the interim period was SEK 3.3 M (38.8). Adjusted for change related costs EBITDA amounted to SEK 15.7 M (38.8), a decrease of 60 per cent or 64 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the quarter, EBITDA amounted to SEK -8.8 M (19.8). Adjusted for change related costs EBITDA amounted to SEK 3.6 M (19.8).
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses was SEK 10.5 M (8.6) and operating profit (EBIT) amounted to SEK -7.2 M (30.2) during the interim period. Adjusted for change related cost, EBIT was SEK 5.2 M (30.2) during the interim period. EBIT during the second quarter was SEK -14.1 M (15.3) and SEK -1.7 M (15.3) adjusted for change related costs.
Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK –4.7 M (1.0) during the interim period. Financial income and expenses was mainly affected by interest income and revaluations of the short term investments and interest expense related to the bond issue. Exchange rate effects in the interim period were SEK –3.8 M (-0.8). During the second quarter, financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -4.4 M (-3.7). The quarter was affected by exchange rate effects of SEK -3.0 M (-3.5).
Profit after tax for the interim period was SEK -11.7 M (19.3), corporate income tax affected profit by SEK 0.3 M (-9.9). Profit after tax for the second quarter was SEK -15.8 M (7.2).
In Tradedoublers core business, Performance Marketing, net sales during the interim period amounted to SEK 829.8 M (964.7) which was a decline of 14 per cent, adjusted for changes in exchange rates the decline was 18 per cent. During the second quarter, net sales was SEK 399.2 M (462.9) which was a decline of 14 per cent or 19 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the quarter net sales within both Affiliate and Technology declined 14 per cent or 19 per cent adjusted for exchange rates.
The decline in the second quarter within Affiliate is to a large extent due to almost ceased volumes from two large pan-European clients combined with a weak performance in France, related to the significant market specific reduction within the e-mail channel with full effect from the third quarter of 2013 and onwards and also the recent closure of offices in Denmark and Finland.
EBITDA for Performance Marketing during the interim period was SEK 79.2 M (112.2), and SEK 82.1 M (112.2) adjusted for change related cost referring to the dismissal of the former Chief Strategy Officer. During the second quarter, EBITDA was SEK 34.1 M (54.3) and SEK 37.0 M (54.3) adjusted for change related cost. The decline in EBITDA was predominently due to the decrease in net sales, also gross margin for affiliate decreased during the quarter to 19.1 per cent (19.8) due to price pressure. The restructuring communicated and executed around year-end has partly compensated for the decline in gross profit. EBITDA for Technology declined by 19 per cent during the second quarter, or 24 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.
Net sales within Tradedoublers non-core business, "Other", during the interim period amounted to SEK 26.2 M (53.4), which was a decline of 51 per cent. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates the decline was 52 per cent. "Other" is primarily constituted of the non-strategic campaigns business which has declined rapidly. Net sales within "Other" was SEK 11.5 M (27.4) during the second quarter.
EBITDA was SEK 1.8 M (1.1) during the interim period and SEK 0.6 M (2.3) during the second quarter. The EBITDA-level was maintained through reductions of the cost base.
Costs for group management and support functions during the interim period amounted to SEK 77.8 M (74.5), an increase of 4 per cent or 3 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. During the second quarter, costs for group management and support functions was SEK 43.5 M (36.9), an increase of 18 per cent or 17 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The costs for group management and support functions have been negatively impacted by change related costs of SEK 9.6 M incurred during the second quarter which in part is countered by the positive impacts from the restructuring programme communicated at year-end 2013. Change related costs during the second quarter were attributed to severance payment to former CEO and tax related items of SEK 5.6 M referring to closure of offices.

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK -6.5 M (21.3) in the second quarter. Changes in working capital was SEK -36.9 M (-4.2) and approximately half of the increase can be explained by short term differences in customer payment patterns close to end of first and second quarters. Other factors explaining the increase are a decline in prepaid customer invoices and a reduction of unallocated payments due to improved administrative processes. Advertiser payments must be matched in full with the receivable before publisher debt is paid.
Net investments in intangible assets during the second quarter amounted to SEK -2.8 M (-8.2), of which SEK -0.5 M (-1.9) relates to capitalised expenses for own personnel. These investments mainly consist of improvements to production and business systems as well as product development.

Net investments in short term investments amounted to SEK 3.5 M (0) during the quarter. Paid dividends during the second quarter was SEK 10.6 M (0) and cash flow amounted to SEK -53.4 M (2.5).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 0.8 M (36.7) during the interim period. Changes in working capital was SEK -119.5 M (-14.8) and can be explained by the above described changes in the second quarter as well as a normalisation of working capital in the first quarter of SEK -82.6 M reversing the temporary favourable
developments in working capital during the fourth quarter 2013 of SEK 64.9 M.
Net investments in intangible assets during the interim period amounted to SEK -6.9 M (-16.3). Net investments in short term
investments, relating to the bond proceeds, amounted to SEK 48.5 M (0). Paid dividends during the interim period was SEK 10.6 M (0) and cash flow amounted to SEK -184.8 M (-1.7).

Interest bearing debt amounted to SEK 245.1 M (0) and was in full related to the five year senior unsecured bond loan issued during the fourth quarter 2013.
Net debt amounted to SEK 135.3 M (166.6) at the end of the interim period.
Consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 499.6 M (503.4) at end of the interim period. The return on equity for the rolling 12 months ending June 2014 was -3.9 per cent (1.9) and the equity/asset ratio has decreased to 38.7 per cent (44.3) which is primarily due to the bond issue.
Tradedoubler's operations, particularly within Performance Marketing, fluctuate with the development of e-commerce and online advertising. There are seasonal variations particularly within e-commerce. The highest level of activity is before Christmas, which implies that the fourth quarter is normally the strongest for Tradedoubler.

No transactions between Tradedoubler and related parties impacting the company's financial position and results have taken place, aside from remuneration to board and senior executives.
After the end of the reporting period Tradedoubler finalised the sale of its subsidiary in Lithuania to the country manager. The Lithuanian market has continued to be dependent on the nonstrategic campaigns business and is therefore not in-line with the strategic direction of the Tradedoubler group. The sale is not expected to have any material impact on the result, not at the time of transaction nor in the longer term.
