Stockholm, 10 November 2021

Dear Shareholders,

Tradedoubler´s positive business momentum continued in the third quarter 2021 similarly to the quarters before.

In Q3 2021 total revenue grew by 12%, gross profit by 14%, while EBITDA slightly decreased to 15m SEK on currency adjusted comparison and without change related items. Due to seasonality clients booked less media promotions in Q3 which reduced the revenue growth and improved the margin. Last year media promotions were larger as part of the covid-19 strategies of clients. The good GP growth of 14%, which was the highest in more than 10 years, is linked to good performance of the core affiliate business, the influencer platform Metapic and the affiliate self-service platform TD Grow.

Operating costs increased by 25% mainly due to investments into Metapic and TD Grow. We are around 20 employees more than last year and have slightly increased product development expenses. Further to this we benefited from some covid-19 measures like reduced social costs and reduced working hours in a material way last year.

Our EBITDA margin of 4,7% is comparable to the last quarters and years, but for the abovementioned reasons lower as in Q3 2020 (6,1%).

Similar to the quarters before all regions develop positively except of the UK, with the DACH region, France and the Nordics being the main growth drivers. In the industry verticals, all relevant verticals develop positively with the biggest gain in Fashion. Travel increase slightly compared to last year, but still significantly lower than before covid-19.

In October we finalized the migration of Tradedoubler´s technical infrastructure to the cloud and away from on-premise-servers. This migration is a large milestone for product development. We are now working with state-of-the-art systems and infrastructure across our whole portfolio which will speed up development time and reduce infrastructure and development costs.

We continue our mission to grow the business of our clients and partners in the best possible way and create meaningful results for all stakeholders. We do that with passion and courage, and I look forward to your company on this journey.

Sincerely yours,

Matthias Stadelmeyer President and CEO

If not explicitly stated, the disclosed financial information refers to reported numbers that are not adjusted for change related items nor changes in exchange rates. For more information regarding change related items see page 9.

Consolidated total revenue during the interim period was SEK 1,007 M (877), which was an increase by 15 per cent compared to same period last year. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates the increase was 19 per cent.

Consolidated total revenue during the third quarter was SEK 317 M (285) which was an increase of 11 per cent. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates the increase in net sales was 12%. The increase in revenue is driven by larger customers who have a lower margin than the average customer. This has affected the gross margin, which during the third quarter amounted to 21.0% (20.7).

The covid-19 crisis has severely impacted the net sales of travel clients which prior to the crisis has been a large part of the total business of Tradedoubler. The revenue in this segment is still very low compared to prior the crisis, but since last quarter we are seeing signs of recovery and some increase compared to the same quarter last year.

Gross profit during the interim period was SEK 202 M (187), an increase of 8% and 12% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Gross profit during the third quarter was SEK 67 M (59), which was an increase of 13 per cent or 14 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

TOTAL REVENUE (SEK M) & GROSS MARGIN (%)

Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 155 M (141) during the interim period. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 151 M (140). This was an increase of 10% or 13% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 52 M (42) during the third quarter. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 50 M (41). This was an increase of 24% or 25% adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The increased costs are

mainly related to increased salary costs due to an increased number of employees. This is partly an effect from that new hires were suspended for a few months last year during the initial months of the covid-19 crisis.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) during the interim period amounted to 43 M (45). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 47 M (46). Depreciation and amortisation were SEK 25 M (28).

Earnings of participations in associated companies affected operating profit by SEK - (-0.1) M. Operating profit thus amounted to SEK 18 (17) M in the interim period.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the third quarter was SEK 13 M (16). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 15 M (17). Depreciation and amortisation were SEK 8 M (8).

Earnings of participations in associated companies affected operating profit by SEK - (-0.1) M. Operating profit thus amounted to SEK 5 (8) M in the third quarter.

Net financial items during the interim period were SEK -0,4 M (-10) where of exchange rates effects were SEK -2 M (-3). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK 2 M (-7). The financial income was highly affected by the sale of the shares in Dynadmic in which Tradedoubler has kept a minority stake since 2016. The sale of shares increased the results by SEK 7.7 M.

Net financial items in the third quarter were SEK -3 M (-4) where of exchange rates effects were SEK -1 M (-2). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK -2 M (-2).

Profit after tax during the interim period amounted to SEK 15 M (-2.5), corporate income tax was SEK -2.4 M (-9). In the third quarter corporate income tax was SEK -2 M (-7) and profit after tax was SEK 0.1 M (-3).

If not explicitly stated, the disclosed financial information refers to reported numbers that are not adjusted for change related items nor changes in exchange rates. For more information regarding change related items see page 9.

Total revenue

Total revenue during the interim period amounted to SEK 1,007 M (877), which is an increase by 15% compared to last year. All regions except UK & Ireland and South increased their revenues compared to last year. We see the largest increases in DACH and Nordics. The Group continues to be affected by the decline in revenue from travel customers, which began to decline in March last year. From the third quarter of 2021, we have begun to see weak indications of a recovery in revenue from travel customers, but revenue is still much lower than before Covid-19. Revenues from the retail segment show continued growth in all markets compared with the comparison period.

Total revenue during the third quarter amounted to SEK 317 M (285), which was an increase of 11 per cent or 12 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The covid-19 crisis has severely impacted the net sales of travel clients which prior to the crisis has been a large part of the total business of Tradedoubler. The revenue in this segment is still very low compared to prior the crisis, but since last quarter we are seeing signs of recovery and some increase compared to the same quarter last year.

EBITDA

EBITDA during the quarter increased in DACH and in France & Benelux, mainly due to improved gross profit. EBITDA decreased in the segments Nordics, UK & Ireland and in the South, which is largely due to increased investments in personnel.

EBITDA/Net sales margin has declined, which is partly related to decreased gross margin, which in turn is due to high revenue growth among larger clients that have lower gross margin than the average client. In addition, the salary costs have increased due to new hires.

Costs for group management and support functions during the interim period amounted to SEK 42 M (33). Costs for group management during the third quarter were SEK 16 M (9). The cost increase for Group management is largely due to the share program linked to Reworld Media's share, which is described on page 7 in the 2020 annual report.

Cash Flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital, referring to EBITDA reduced by paid taxes, paid interest and non-cash items amounted to SEK 26 M (28) during the interim period. Changes in working capital were SEK -16 M (12).

Net investments in tangible and intangible assets during the interim period mainly related to product development amounted to SEK 22 M (17). Cash flow amounted to SEK -12 M (5).

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK 10 M (8) in the third quarter. Changes in working capital were SEK 5 M (6) and is as always very dependent on the payment patterns from customers.

Net investments in tangible and intangible assets during the third quarter mainly related to product development amounted to SEK 7 M (6). Cash flow thus amounted to SEK 23 M (3). The sale of Dynadmic has affected cash flow during the third quarter by a total of SEK 17.6 M.

Financial Position

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the interim period amounted to SEK 78 M (56). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 115 M (130) and relates to the loan agreements signed in the third quarter 2019 with Reworld Media S.A. Net cash hence amounted to SEK -37 M (-74) at the end of the interim period.

Consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 250 M (229) at the end of the interim period and the equity/asset ratio was 31.2 per cent (30.4). The return on equity during the rolling 12 months ending September 2021 was 10.3 per cent (0.6).

Change Related Items

For comparability reasons and to indicate the underlying performance, Tradedoubler adjusts for change related items. The following items affect the comparability in this report.

Change related items in the interim period 2021 amounted to SEK -4,2 M and related to costs linked to Reworld Media's share program to key management personnel which is described on page 10 in the Annual report 2020.

Change related items in the interim period 2020 amounted to SEK -1 M and related to costs linked to Reworld Media's share program to key management personnel.

Seasonal Variations

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 on "Black Friday" and before Christmas, which implies that the first and the fourth quarter of a year are normally the strongest for Tradedoubler.

The Parent Company

The parent company's total revenue amounted to SEK 72 M (72) during the interim period and to SEK 24 M (24) during the third quarter. Revenue primarily consisted of internal licensing revenue to subsidiaries.

Operating profit (EBIT) was SEK 9 M (14) during the interim period and SEK 1 M (6) during the third quarter.

Net financial items amounted to SEK 0.5 M (-6) during the interim period and to SEK -2 M (-2) during the third quarter. Dividends from group companies impacted the interim period with SEK 0.7 M (0.8). Changes in exchange rates impacted with SEK -3 M (-2).

Corporate taxes were SEK -0.2 M (-8) during the interim period. Profit after tax was SEK 10 M (0.5).

The parent company's receivables from group companies amounted to SEK 138 M (128) at the end of interim period, of which none (0) were non-current. The parent company's liabilities to group companies were SEK 68 M (85), of which none (0) were non-current. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 28 M (23) at the end of the interim period.

Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 0.1 M (6) at the end of the interim period. The deferred tax asset has decreased due to the agreement concluded by the tax authorities in the United Kingdom and Sweden regarding a double taxation case mentioned on page 28 in the annual report 2020.

No capitalisation of deferred tax on loss has been made since the assessment of the possibility of using deferred tax on loss carry forwards is unchanged compared to previous period.

Employees

On September 30, 2021, Tradedoubler's staff corresponded to 258 (235) full-time equivalents (FTE) and included permanent and temporary employees as well as consultants.

Tradedoubler divides risks into market-related risks, operational risks, financial risks and legal risks. These risks are described on page 7 in the 2020 Annual Report. No significant risks and uncertainty factors have arisen in addition to those described in the 2020 annual report.

Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with the company's principal owner

The company's principal owner, Reworld Media, has as a publisher in France received remuneration of EUR 11 K, EUR 36 K for provided HR-support and EUR 136 K in remuneration for rent, both related to Tradedoubler's French subsidiary. Reworld Media has during 2021 been invoiced for purchased services from Tradedoubler France of EUR 203 K in total. Other subsidiaries have invoiced Reworld Media EUR 109 K.

On the balance sheet day the loan from Reworld Media amounted to SEK 119 M (EUR 11.63 M). The loan has an amortization structure and matures in 2026. The loan is subscribed on market terms and the interest expense during the interim period has amounted to SEK 3.4 M.

The arm's length principle has been applied on all these transactions.

Management in Tradedoubler has taken part in the main owner Reworld Media's share program. A total of 200,859 share options have been granted to senior executives. The conditions of the share program are that the senior executives are allotted half of the shares if the senior executive is still employed within Tradedoubler on 27 September 2021. Remaining shares are allotted to the senior executive if they are still employed within Tradedoubler on 27 September 2022. Reworld Media's share price was EUR 1.9 on the allotment date, which was approximately 20 SEK. The value of these shares on the grant date was EUR 381,632, which equals 4,022,425 SEK. This amount is reported as an expense on an ongoing basis during the share program´s earning period and a provision for social security contributions is imposed based on the prevailing share price on the balance sheet date. In the interim period the reported costs of the share program amounted to SEK 4,154 K, of which debt for social security contributions amounts to SEK 2,292 K.

Transactions with management and the board of directors

Aside from transactions in the normal course of business or to the board and senior executives, the following first-party transactions have occurred during 2021.

Tradedoubler's CEO Matthias Stadelmeyer has during the year received payment of EUR 14 K related to other services through his partly owned companies tryforyou GmbH and MY5 GmbH.

Tradedoubler's CTO Francois Pacot has during the year received payment of EUR 145 K related to his monthly fee as consultant and EUR 177 K related to other services through his fully owned companies.

During Q4 2020 Tradedoubler´s German subsidiary signed a lease agreement regarding an office in Munich with a German company owned by multiple members of the board and group management. Rent is paid at market rates and the expenses during the interim period amounted to 116 KEUR. During 2021 a similar lease agreement for premises in Mougins has been signed. Contracting parties are Tradedoubler´s French subsidiary R-advertising and a French company owned by multiple members of the board and group management. Rent is paid at market rates and the expenses during the interim period amounted to 103 KEUR.

The arm's length principle has been applied on all these transactions.

Foreign Exchange Risk

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), Polish Zloty (PLN) and British pounds (GBP) representing the majority share. During the interim period approximately 52 (49) per cent of group sales were made in EUR, approximately 18 (17) in PLN and approximately 12 (16) per cent in GBP. Approximately 40 (39) per cent of the group's operational costs were in EUR, approximately 11 (12) per cent in PLN, and approximately 10 (8) 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 fourth quarter 2019. This facility is denominated in EUR and currently not hedged.

Significant events after the balance sheet date

No significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date.
