Stockholm, 27 August 2021

Dear Shareholders,

The second quarter 2021 was the first quarter with a like-for-like comparison of the business in covid-19 conditions. In Q2 2020 the pandemic hit Tradedoubler´s business with negative effects on revenue and a positive impact on EBITDA. The negative revenue effects relate mainly to a reduction of the travel vertical which formerly stood for around 20% of our revenues, the positive impact relates to lower costs through reduced recruitment of staff, shorter working hours and government support. In Q4 2020 and Q1 2021 we started to gain good traction in the business, but in covid-19 / non-covid-19 comparisons.

Now the results of Q2 2021 show a continued positive business momentum on revenue, gross profit and EBITDA in this changed scenario as well. Adjusted for currency effects revenue grew by 21% and gross profit by 9% while EBITDA excluding change related items increased to SEK 17 M.

Similar to the first quarter 2021 all regions develop positively except of the UK, with the DACH region and the Nordics being the main growth drivers. The Southern Region had positive one-time effects on the business last year and has stable underlying revenues.

TD Grow, our new SaaS solution for SMB businesses and our influencer platform Metapic continued their good business momentum in Q2 as well and start to contribute to our revenue in a more prominent way.

In the industry verticals travel is growing again compared to Q2 last year, but on low levels and still far away from previous levels. All other verticals are stable with their usual seasonality.

The margin of our business is with 20,2% still lower as last year, but slightly increased compared to Q1. The reason for this are mainly additional budgets from larger clients whom we have expanded our business with during the last 12 months. The slight increase of the margin in Q2 is explained by seasonality as clients spend less media budgets in Q2 and Q3.

Operating costs cost are higher than previous year as we continue to investment in our staff and as well invest more into TD Grow and Metapic. We close the quarter with 251 employees compared to 226 in the comparison period, which is the main reason for the higher cost level. EBITDA landed at 16 which is the highest Q2 result in many years.

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

QUARTERLY REPORT | JANUARY – JUNE 2021

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 690 M (591), which was an increase by 17 per cent compared to same period last year. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates the increase was 22 per cent.

Consolidated total revenue during the second quarter was SEK 333 M (287) which was an increase of 16 per cent. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates the increase in net sales was 21%. 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 second quarter amounted to 20.2% (22.4).

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. This decrease has been covered to a large extent by other growing segments like the retail segment.

Gross profit during the interim period was SEK 135 M (127), an increase of 6% and 11% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Gross profit during the second quarter was SEK 67 M (64), which was an increase of 4 per cent or 9 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates. The increase in gross profit is mainly related to the revenue growth of larger customers.

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

Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 105 M (99) during the interim period. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 103 M (99). This was an increase of 4% or 8% adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

Operating costs, excluding depreciation, amounted to SEK 51 M (50) during the second quarter. Operating costs, excluding change related items and depreciation, were SEK 51 M (50). This was an increase of 1% or 4% 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 30 M (29). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 32 M (29). Depreciation and amortisation were SEK 17 M (20).

Earnings of participations in associated companies affected operating profit by SEK - (-) M. Operating profit thus amounted to SEK 13 (9) M in the interim period.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the second quarter was SEK 16 M (14). Adjusted for change related items, EBITDA was SEK 17 M (14). Depreciation and amortisation were SEK 8 M (11).

Earnings of participations in associated companies affected operating profit by SEK - (-) M. Operating profit thus amounted to SEK 8 (4) M in the second quarter.

Net financial items during the interim period were SEK 2 M (-6) where of exchange rates effects were SEK -2 M (-2). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK 4 M (-5). 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 second quarter were SEK 7 M (3) where of exchange rates effects were SEK 2 M (6). Financial income and expenses amounted to SEK 6 M (-3).

Profit after tax during the interim period amounted to SEK 15 M (0.5), corporate income tax was SEK -0.5 M (-1.7). In the second quarter corporate income tax was SEK 0.1 M (-0.6) and profit after tax was SEK 15 M (6).

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.

Tradedoubler's operational segments are presented at a regional level where Tradedoubler's segments consists of DACH (Germany and Switzerland), France & Benelux (France and Netherlands), Nordics (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Poland), South (Italy and Spain) and UK & Ireland.

Total revenue

Total revenue during the interim period amounted to SEK 690 M (591), which is an increase by 17% 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. Revenues from the retail segment show continued growth in all markets compared with the comparison period.

Total revenue during the second quarter amounted to SEK 333 M (287), which was an increase of 16 per cent or 21 per cent adjusted for changes in exchange rates.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the operational segments has improved in most markets and is mostly due to improved gross profit. 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 26 M (24). Costs for group management during the second quarter were SEK 12 M (12). 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 -5 M (25) during the interim period. Changes in working capital were SEK -21 M (6).

Net investments in tangible and intangible assets during the interim period mainly related to product development amounted to SEK 16 M (11). Cash flow amounted to SEK -35 M (2).

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK 8 M (30) in the second quarter. Changes in working capital were SEK -1 M (20) and is as always very dependent on the payment patterns from customers.

Net investments in tangible and intangible assets during the second quarter mainly related to product development amounted to SEK 7 M (6). Cash flow thus amounted to SEK -9 M (14).

Financial Position

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the interim period amounted to SEK 55 M (49). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 114 M (129) and relates to the loan agreements signed in the third quarter 2019 with Reworld Media S.A. The change in interest-bearing liabilities is mainly related to the fact that Tradedoubler has amortized approximately SEK 12 M since the same period last year.Net cash hence amounted to SEK -59 M (-80) at the end of the interim period.

Consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 248 M (230) at the end of the interim period and the equity/asset ratio was 31.1 per cent (30.2). The return on equity during the rolling 12 months ending June 2021 was 9.0 per cent (-0.8).

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 -2,1 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.

No change related items were recorded in the comparison period 2020.

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 48 M (45) during the interim period and to SEK 28 M (22) during the second quarter. Revenue primarily consisted of internal licensing revenue to subsidiaries.

Operating profit (EBIT) was SEK 9 M (8) during the interim period and SEK 7 M (5) during the second quarter.

Net financial items amounted to SEK 3 M (-4) during the interim period and to SEK 8 M (7) during the second quarter. Dividends from group companies impacted the interim period with SEK 0.1 M (0.6). Changes in exchange rates impacted with SEK -1.7 M (-0.9).

Corporate taxes were SEK -0.1 M (0) during the interim period. Profit after tax was SEK 11.5 M (4.7).

The parent company's receivables from group companies amounted to SEK 129 M (122) at the end of interim period, of which none (0) were non-current. The parent company's liabilities to group companies were SEK 71 M (71), of which none (0) were non-current. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 20 M (16) at the end of the interim period.

Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 0.1 M (14) 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 June 30, 2021, Tradedoubler's staff corresponded to 251 (226) 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.

Critical Estimates and Judgements

Tradedoubler divides risks into market-related risks, operational risks, financial risks and legal risks. These risks are described in note C2 in the 2020 Annual Report.

Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with the company's principal owner

Reworld Media has as a publisher in France received remuneration of EUR 8 K, EUR 24 K for provided HR-support and EUR 90 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 148 K in total. Other subsidiaries have invoiced Reworld Media EUR 84 K.

On the balance sheet day the loan amounted to SEK 118 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 2.3 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 2,090 K, of which debt for social security contributions amounts to SEK 849 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 8 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 115 K related to his monthly fee as consultant and EUR 122 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 85 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 51 (49) per cent of group sales were made in EUR, approximately 19 (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 (11) per cent in PLN, and approximately 10 (6) 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.
