"Tradedoubler's results in the third quarter of 2019 are similar to Q2. The slow-down that we face across some clients and markets continued over summer and results have therefore been lower than expected in Q3 as well. While these reduced spendings across some clients, markets and categories have an impact on our numbers at the moment, we do not see them as a wider structural challenge.
Margins are on similar levels as in recent quarters and like last year, the smaller deviations are due to seasonality and smaller changes in the product mix.
Costs have been slightly lower and adapted to the cool down of our business, but in general costs are on the same level as in recent quarters and like last year as well.
Despite the slight slowdown in spring and summer we generally develop according to our plans and we continue on our mission to continuously improve our business by creating growth for our clients and partners."

Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk that changes in exchange rates may affect the consolidated income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement. Foreign exchange risk exists in the form of transaction risk and translation risk. Tradedoubler is exposed to foreign exchange risk in 14 countries involving eight different currencies, with Euro (EUR) and British pounds (GBP) representing the majority share. During the third quarter 2019 approximately 51 (52) per cent of group sales were made in EUR and approximately 19 (19) per cent in GBP. Approximately 44 (42) per cent of the group's operational costs were in EUR and approximately 10 (14) per cent in GBP. Net investments in foreign currency or transaction risks are not currently hedged. Exposure attributable to exchange rate fluctuation in client and supplier invoices is limited since invoicing to customers and from suppliers largely occurs in local currency for all companies in the group.
Tradedoubler renegotiated the current loan deal with Reworld Media S.A. during the third quarter 2019. This facility is denominated in EUR and currently not hedged.

No significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date.
This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, interim financial reporting and the Swedish annual accounts act. For the group and the parent company the same accounting principles and calculation bases have been applied as in the latest annual report with the additions below.
For financial instruments reported at amortised cost; accounts receivables, other current receivables and cash and cash equivalents, accounts payables and other current liablities are deemed to correspond to carrying amount. The fair value of other long- and current liabilities is not deemed to deviate materially from the carrying amount.
IFRS 16 Leases has replaced IAS 17 from 1 January 2019. According to the new standard, the lessee must report the obligation to pay leasing fees as a lease liability in the balance sheet. The right to use the underlying asset during the lease period is reported as an asset. Depreciation of the asset is reported in the income statement as well as interest on the lease liability. Remaining leasing fees are reported partly as payment of interest and partly as amortization of leasing debt, which affects financial position and key ratios. The standard excludes leases with a lease term of less than 12 months and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value.
The company has chosen to apply the standard according to the modified retrospective approach, which means that it will be reported retroactively with the cumulative effect of an initial application of the standard on the second date of application, 1 January 2019. Comparative figures are not restated and is still reported in accordance with IAS 17 Leases. The company has chosen to exclude leasing agreements where the underlying asset is of low value. As of 1 January 2019, the leasing costs for previous operating leases relating to lease agreements have been replaced by depreciation on utilisation rights and financial interest expense on the lease liabilities. On 1 January 2019, the change relating to the recognition of the lease agreements affected the balance sheet by SEK 46 M, without any impact on equity.
