Letter to the Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
YOC AG was able to continue the successful development of the past year in the first quarter of the current financial year. Revenue was increased from € 5.3 million by 14.6 % to € 6.0 million compared to the reference period in the past year. EBITDA was decreased lightly from € 0.8 million to € 0.7 million.
The first quarter indicates that the company can mostly elude the effects of the difficult economic climate. This is a clear indicator of the strong growth potential of the mobile marketing and mobile internet market. Furthermore, the first quarter figures also confirm the corporate strategy pursued.
The growth potential of the mobile marketing sector is mainly based on three factors. First, the popularity of mobile phones has constantly increased in the past few years. More than 106 million mobile phone services contracts currently exist in Germany. Second, according to experts, around 61% of mobile phone users will have UMTS access in Germany by 2012. Moreover, the mobile internet will get more attractive due to the increasing distribution of smartphones with larger displays and flat-rates. The advertising industry, publishing and media houses and internet platforms respond to this trend by increasingly integrating the mobile phone in their long-term communication strategies.
Against the background of this business outlook, we decided the uplisting of the YOC Share from the Entry Standard to the stock exchange segment Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 29th April 2009. Thus, the YOC Share is listed in the segment with the highest transparency and disclosure requirements on the German Stock Exchange. This change is planned to increase our liquidity and to provide more share attractiveness for investors.
We are optimistic that we will be able to continue the growth course taken in the remaining quarters of the financial year. In the first quarter, we also won important new customers with Blackberry, Sixt, Playstation and Haymarket (UK). The steadily expanding customer base and the continuing trend to shift advertising budgets from classic advertising materials to digital advertising media form the basis for future growth.
We are optimistic about the future and we are looking forward to a successful cooperation with you!
CEO of the YOC AG

This campaign included a special iPhone targeting feature to minimise wastage. The campaign does not only include iPhone targeting but also direct linking of advertising material with the Apple AppStore that leads users directly to the download area without changing the medium. Users could download SIXT iPhone applications for free.
In the first quarter of 2009, YOC Group could extend its Mobile Advertising marketing portfolio by new renowned national and international mobile portals. YOC Group concluded exclusive marketing agreements with mobile portals, such as wallstreet-online.de, finanzen.net, mtv.de, viva.tv, nick.de, verkehrsinfo.de and the airport duesseldorf-international.de. These marketing co-operations have helped YOC Group to extend its Mobile Advertising segment, particularly with

Our premium titles from the "News" segment help IT producers to address IT and business decisionmakers. Companies, such as Cisco, Siemens, SAP and Datev have been using the YOC mobile advertising services for quite a while.

The positive development of the successful year 2008 in the Mobile Internet segment continues in the first quarter of 2009. YOC Group implemented a number of projects for existing customers and won important new customers. YOC Group expanded its customer base within the automotive industry and won Continental as a renowned supplier.

There is a trend in all industries to use dynamic and interactive formats, such as mobile video. As a technology expert specialised in the optimum presentation of existing video material on mobile websites, YOC Group was able to win a new international customer: Krone.tv internet TV with the largest media penetration in Austria. There is a growing demand for video content, which has a high development potential. This is illustrated by other projects carried out during the reporting period, such as the mobile website of Tagesschau and MTV, which added new areas to their websites, including video downloads and video streaming.
YOC Group took a number of optimisation measures and re-launched successful websites, such as the website of the publishing group Handelsblatt and Brigitte. A complete makeover of layout, structure, user guidance and content provided the basis for even larger media penetration.

affiliate marketing
mobile B2C services
The technological merger of the two affiliate networks belboon and adbutler was carried out successfully in the first quarter of 2009. About 1,200 available partner programmes have turned the merger into the third largest affiliate marketing network in the German-speaking world, boosting its market position.
Despite the economic crisis, the Affiliate Marketing segment remains stable.
In the struggle for market shares, belboon-adbutler continues to rely on customer loyalty and the best possible support for distribution partners (affiliates) participating in the network. YOC Group also continues to strive to become the technologically leading affiliate network in the industry in terms of market shares. To live up to that expectation, belboon-adbutler was the first affiliate network in the German-speaking world to introduce one of the most innovative additional tracking technologies: FLASH Tracking. This technology, which has not yet been used by any other network provider in the German market, can log more transactions that ever before, which will lead to an increase in revenue and quality in the long run. This USP is being further developed by a tracking upgrade of existing programmes that will use that technology in the future.
New promising sales features are also under way, which shall be available exactly for the Christmas business 2009. Another strategic component for belboon-adbutler to ensure future growth and improve its affiliate marketing market position is to open up international markets. The stage in terms of organisation and technology is being set. Despite a negative market trend in the first quarter of 2009, YOC's mobile B2C business has seen a better development than other competitors in the market. YOC acquired the Moustik brand, a business that has been quite successful in Germany and Belgium since 2007. The intended extension of distribution channels is used for effective marketing and parts of it have already been implemented in the first quarter by adding TV distribution channels. Further measures are to follow gradually.
There was technical progress in the integration between the Belgian and German company. This integration progress is supposed to become the basis of efficient time to market in order to create more synergies. Further efforts are being made in the field of content acquisition. That is why YOC engages in partnerships and cooperation with large content providers, focusing on innovative content categories. New contents help to spark customer interest and win new customer groups.
The Share
YOC AG Share Successfully Listed on Prime Standard
Stock Markets in the First Quarter
In the first quarter of this year, many companies faced a massive downward trend of their shares, which resulted from lost investor's confidence and the continuing negative economic situation. Capital markets were also hit by the effects of the fundamental financial crisis and the global economic crisis in the first quarter. The DAX dropped by 19% from 5.026 points at the beginning of January to 4.085 points at the end of March in the first quarter.
The YOC Share
The YOC Share was not able to elude this negative effect in the first quarter and dropped by 19% from € 13.40 to € 10.90 in the same period. It stably kept this level until the beginning of May. The share price development was in line with the comparison index SDAX, which dropped by 16% in the period observed.
Listing on Prime Standard
On 29 April 2009, the YOC Share was admitted to the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. YOC AG plans to increase the liquidity of the share by changing from Entry Standard to Prime Standard and to make it more attractive to investors due to the higher level of transparency. Moreover, the segment change accommodates the growing interest of the capital market in the share.
Now, YOC is listed on the stock exchange segment with the highest transparency and disclosure requirements of the German Stock Exchange. Furthermore, a listing on Prime Standard is the prerequisite for admittance to one of the benchmark indices of the German Stock Exchange.
Communication with the capital market plays a very important role for YOC. The Executive Committee initiates dialogues with investors and analysts on a regular basis. On 22 April, the Press and Analysts Conference of YOC AG took place in Frankfurt. Several road shows and the attendance of investors' conferences are planned for the course of the remaining financial year.

Development of the Balance Sheet Structure, Cash flow and Profitability
YOC Group was able to continue its consistent growth trend in the first quarter of the financial year 2009. The corporate strategy, which is based on large acquisitions on the one hand and strong technological developments on the other hand in order to create a promising platform for future developments, turns out to be a key factor for success. YOC Group can also offer a unique range of business activities, which is due to its strategic positioning, thus ensuring an effective and lasting market leadership also during the time of the financial crisis.
Compared to the previous year, YOC Group increased its revenue by 15% from € 5.3 million to € 6.0 million in the first quarter of the financial year 2009. The total revenue increased by 15% from € 5.3 million to € 6.1 million. In the main product segment of Mobile Marketing, revenues rose by 18% from € 3.4 million in 2008 to € 4.0 million in the first quarter of 2009. The share of this segment in the Group's total revenue remained largely stable, reaching 66% compared to 64% in the prior-year quarter. The Group saw the highest growth in affiliate marketing. One of the reasons for the positive development was the acquisition of adbutler GmbH on 12 March 2008, which was included in the basis of consolidation of YOC Group over the entire threemonth period in the first quarter of the financial year 2009. Revenue in this segment rose by 36% from € 1.1 million to € 1.5 million compared to last year's reporting period. The share of this product segment in the company's revenues increased from 21% to 25%. Due to regulation measures introduced by Belgian law in the first quarter of 2009, revenues in the Mobile B2C Services segment of YOC Group fell by 33% from € 0.8 million to € 0.5 million. Its share in total revenue reduced from 15% to 9%.
Germany remains the most important market for YOC Group in the new financial year. In the first quarter of 2009, the Group increased its domestic sales by 18% from € 4.4 million to € 5.2 million compared with the prior-year quarter. This is mainly due to the positive development of its Mobile Marketing Germany core segment. In the first quarter of
2009, revenue obtained in Germany contributed with 85% to overall revenue compared to 83% in the previous quarter.
Internationally generated revenues kept the same level compared to the previous year and sum up to € 0.9 million. Consequently, the share of foreign revenue was reduced from 17% to 15%. The UK and Belgium were the most important international markets with a revenue of € 0.4 million and € 0.3 million. Austria (€ 0.2 million), Switzerland, France and the Netherlands accounted for the remaining foreign revenue.
Costs of materials and services increased by 16% from € 1.9 million to € 2.2 million during the reporting period. Thus, the increase was commensurate with the total performance. These expenses have also been significantly influenced by the volume of SMS and MMS delivery, which are being purchased from mobile phone operators on a large scale.
The rise in the number of YOC Group employees is due to the increase in workforce. Compared to the previous year, the average number of employees rose by 33 to 158 due to internal growth. As of 31 March 2009, the Group employed 158 employees (prev. year 125 employees) and 1 representative (prev. year 0 representatives). 5 staff members were on parental leave. Personnel expenses thus increased by 42% from € 1.5 million to € 2.1 million. Personnel costs to total rose from 27% to 34% on a year-on-year basis.
Other operational expenditure fell by 5% from € 1.2 million to € 1.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2008. In a prior-year quarter comparison, there is a reduction from 22% to 18% in relation to total revenue. Other operational expenditure mainly includes expenditure for infrastructure, marketing costs and commission payments to partners for procurement of contracts.
Number of employees
The EBITDA reached € 0.7 million, dropping lightly compared with the prior-year quarter (€ 0.8 million).
The EBITDA of the Mobile Marketing segment decreased by 6% to € 0.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2008. This development is mainly due to the increase of personell expenses.
Due to the technological merger of the two affiliate networks, belboon and adbutler, on 31 December 2008, which resulted in the third largest provider of affiliate services in Germany, synergy effects could be used, which lead to growing revenues. EBITDA decreased by 14% to € 0.1 million in this segment.
One reason for growth is the rise in the number of employees in that segment. The decrease of EBITDA in the Mobile B2C Services segment by 31% to € 0.1 million is exclusively due to the drop in revenue caused by regulation measures introduced by Belgian law.
| EBITDA per Segment | 31/03/2009 | 31/03/2008 |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Marketing | 470 | 502 |
| Affiliate Marketing | 134 | 156 |
| Mobile B2C Services | 68 | 99 |
| Total | 672 | 757 |
The EBIT of the YOC Group decreased to € 0.5 million, which was 15% less (prev. year € 0.6 million) than in the previous year quarter. There was also a slight decrease of EBT by 6%, thus reaching € 0.4 million (prev. year € 0.4 million). Profit increased to € 0.3 million (prev. year € 0.3 million) by 10%.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 4.5 million at the end of the reporting period on 31 March 2009, the same level as at 31 December 2008. The Group's equity improved by 1.4% from € 12.3 million to € 12.4 million compared to 31 December 2008. The equity ratio sum up to 45%. This increase is due to the positive net profit of € 0.3 million within that period. The Group's equity was reduces by the acquisition of own shares.
Risk Management Report
YOC Group is an internationally-active service provider operating in a dynamic market, which naturally involves entrepreneurial, sectoral and financial risks. This mainly includes market and competition risks, technological risks, risks of liability, personnel risks, design risks, organisational risks and financial and treasury risks. YOC Group's risk management focuses on the efforts to generate sustainable growth and to increase the company value. Taking into account the risk/ return ratio, conscious decisions are made to take the necessary risks.
Foresighted risk controlling across the Group helps to identify and calculate risks and opportunities in time to guarantee efficient controlling for the success of the company.
In the first three months of 2009, the illustrated risk situation did not substantially change compared to the annual report of 2008. Taking account of all known facts and conditions, there are currently no substantial risks. For an overview of future developments, please see the section "Outlook".
Outlook
In the first months of the financial year 2009, there was a positive development of revenue compared to the first months of 2008. In early 2009, YOC Group won and implemented mobile marketing campaigns for companies, such as Coca-Cola, Sony Playstation and Kraft Foods. Mobile internet portals were established for new customers, such as Haymarket (UK) and IDG (UK).
YOC expects the positive trend of increasing mobile marketing market volume to continue. YOC thinks that this is due to the steady improvement of the performance of mobile end devices, the introduction of low-priced flat rates by network operators and the decisions taken by marketing and media experts in charge to opt for marketing measures that are efficient and measurable. YOC is confident that strains and risks resulting from the current financial and economic crisis can be more than offset by the positive trends mentioned.
YOC expects the positive development of revenue that YOC Group saw in the past three years to continue in the financial year of 2009. YOC estimates that a double-digit EBITDA margin can be reached in the medium term. These expectations are based on the sales generated in the first three months of the financial year 2009 and the forecasts for the months and quarters to come.
