Letter to the Shareholders
Since 1 January 2011, YOC's four product groups have been subsumed into two strongly growing segments: mobile technology and media. Thus, the YOC Group has been able to provide a more focused strategic approach in its business operations.
With a constant focus on mobile technology and media, we specifically identify the current market trends and are able to ideally meet the resulting requirements. This enables us to create the perfect conditions for our business to benefit from economies of scale. The capital market also takes advantage of the new reporting structure and, associated with this, optimised and more transparent communication.
In terms of financials, the first quarter of the current fiscal year was a great success for the YOC Group. With a turnover of EUR 8.9 million, our quarterly turnover was the highest in the history of our group, and this in spite of adopting a strategic focus and knowingly accepting a short-term decline of turnover. On a year-to-year basis, this is an increase by 10% (Q1/2010: EUR 8.1 million). But we did not only see turnover rise, our EBITDA was also substantially higher with an increase of 22% reaching EUR 1.0 million (Q1/2010: EUR 0.8 million). In the first quarter of 2011, the mobile technology segment amounts for 54% turnover and the media segment for 46%.
The share of international revenues already reached EUR 2.8 million, accounting for 32% (Q1/2010: 24%). This positive trend shows YOC's continuous strive for internationalisation. With the acquisition of MobilADdict SAS, a French mobile advertising provider, the group was able to extend its European market leadership in the first quarter. YOC also made a successful entry in the US market, which has been an important step towards becoming one of the world's leading mobile technology and media companies.
The focus is not only on internationalisation but also on the new production and development of standardised products. In January 2011, YOC successfully positioned the YOC Smart Web App, a mobile technology product, in the market. This was followed by the launch of the YOC Campaign Management Platform and the new release version of the YOC Multi Channel Platform in the first quarter.
The strategic focus, the presence on European core markets and the continuous investment in the production and development of new products and platforms promise a continuing above-average participation in future market growth. For the rest of the financial year 2011, we continue to expect the mobile technology segment and the media segment to reap above-average benefits from the generally positive market situation and to see accelerated growth in the future.
We would like to thank our shareholders and our business partners for their trust and are looking forward to further cooperation.
Kind regards,
Dirk Kraus, CEO of YOC
Interim Consolidated Management Report
The Company's Performance in the First Quarter of 2011
- Turnover increased by 10% to EUR 8.9 million on a year-to-year basis. The mobile technology segment accounts for 54% and the media segment for 46%.
- EBITDA amounted to EUR 1.0 million with an EBITDA margin of 10%.
-
Operating cash flow reached EUR -0.6 million.
-
In the first quarter of 2011, YOC's portfolio was extended to include other innovative products such as the YOC Smart Web App, the YOC Multi Channel Platform and a release version of the YOC Campaign Management Platform.
- In the first quarter of 2011, YOC was again able to strengthen its position as an international market leader by acquiring MobilADdict SAS, a French mobile advertising provider.
The YOC Group is one of the leading providers of mobile technology and media in the world. It licenses, implements and operates mobile products for customers from all industries, using its inhouse developed scalable technology platforms. YOC's product portfolio consists of four segments: mobile marketing, mobile internet, mobile advertising and affiliate marketing.
Since 1st January 2011, YOC's four product groups have been subsumed by two segments: mobile technology (mobile marketing and mobile internet) and media (mobile advertising and affiliate marketing). The mobile technology segment also includes the former Mobile B2C Services segment, wich is no longer in the focus of our activities.
TECHNOLOGY
The mobile technology segment includes the licensing and the implementation of technological products that enable our customers to create targeted communication via mobile handsets. This focus means that YOC has its finger on the pulse of the times: 2011 is the first year where the number of smartphones und tablets will exceed the number of desktop PCs and notebooks*1. In line with this trend, there will also be an increase in the number of mobile internet users, which will have doubled in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain by 2015*2.
This will finally make mobile handsets an integral part of corporate communication strategies in all industries. The publishing group Handelsblatt, for example, benefits from YOC's mobile technology products to deliver its publications to mobile handsets. Coca-Cola uses YOC's mobile technology products to operate its mobile CRM system in various countries. AirBerlin offers its customer to book flights and check-in via mobile phone - so this is mobile commerce based on YOC's mobile technology products.
YOC's product portfolio is based on in-house developed technologies that are brought together on a highly performing and innovative platform. These technologies are highly flexible, powerful, reliable and scalable. Roadmaps are used to continually develop these enabling technologies so that the international market can always be provided with the most innovative mobile technology products and platforms. In the financial year 2011, the YOC Group once again stepped up investment for the development of new release versions that are implemented and licensed to the customer. These products are sold, implemented and installed by the in-house sales unit and partner companies.
The YOC Campaign Management Platform is a mobile technology product that enables standardised implementation and individual equipment of mobile marketing operations. This infrastructure is used to develop individual solutions for more than 300 customers such as Coca-Cola, Kraft Foods and Mercedes-Benz so that they can reach their marketing objectives.
Our YOC Multi Channel Platform enables us to ensure optimised delivery of mobile content to all internet-compatible handsets. The YOC Group already operates more than 800 mobile portals and applications world-wide. The main focus is on offering interactive transactions such as mobile booking and mobile banking - just to name the most prominent. This is an area where renowned customers such as Austrian Airlines and Postbank have put their trust in YOC and its products.

The YOC Smart Web App is an innovative product that is unique in combining the advantages of native applications with those of the mobile web. It has four characteristic product features: openness, cross-platform, high-quality design, and next generation technology. The YOC Smart Web App can be delivered to all platforms but it is designed and operated like a native application. The YOC Smart Web App enables publishers to operate all operating systems and handsets featuring optimised mobile content with just one solution. In a nutshell, the innovative YOC Smart Web App is the first product in the world to combine the usability of apps and the freedoms of the web. It uses the same distribution channel as native applications. The YOC Smart Web App can be made available in all known app stores via app store connectors.
National and international media choose YOC products
MEDIA
The media segment includes the marketing of mobile websites and applications on a CPM (cost per thousand), reach and performance basis. YOC can already offer its customers the entire range of mobile marketing solutions that are increasingly demanded by advertisers. There are three reasons for the high demand: Firstly, ads on smaller smartphone displays are more striking. Secondly, mobile internet users show more attention than users of the stationary internet, and thirdly, placing banners on the mobile internet offers more targeting opportunities compared to the stationary internet. Due to this fact and the continuously growing offer of informationbased and transaction-based mobile portals, the mobile advertising market has turned into an integral part of the marketing mix used by advertisers. It was YOC's media segment which was able to benefit most from this positive trend in the first quarter of the financial year 2011.
With a portfolio of more than 250 international titles in the first quarter of 2011, the YOC Group has the largest premium mobile advertising network in Europe. Premium titles such as The Sun, 20 Minutes, El Pais.com and MTV are marketed on a fixed price (CPM) basis. Premium-based campaigns focus mainly on the branding, image and awareness objectives of the advertisers.
Campaigns that aim for greater reach and are billed on a performance-related cost-per-click basis benefit from the YOC
Performance Network. This network is a web-based self-service technology platform with a global concept that uses the mobile internet to bring together advertisers and publishers on the basis of a variable price system. The first quarter saw a significant increase in the number of campaigns: More than 300 international advertising customers such as Ford, O2, Audi, Deutsche Postbank, Citroen, MC Donald's, Givenchy, Porsche and Barclays have benefited from YOC's mobile advertising offer and have used our products and technologies to reach their target groups.
Every month, our centrally controlled YOC AdServer - one of the most innovative technologies to ensure optimised delivery of advertising formats to mobile handsets - processes more than 2.8 billion requests for mobile advertising tools by means of the YOC Media Network and the YOC Performance Network. 1.2 billion requests come from the US and 0.65 billion come from the Asian region.
YOC's innovative strength, its technological expertise and the uniqueness of the entire marketing network reflect the successful business development of the media segment.
The YOC Ad Plus is Europe's first rich media advertising format that was developed especially for applications. This mobile advertising format integrates e.g. videos, picture galleries or 360° views and is configured for all operating systems. The YOC Ad Plus is a unique mobile advertising format due to unrivalled targeting opportunities and reliable measurement measures. Advertisers can thus benefit from new opportunities to emotionalise their brand and target customers more precisely. Many international customers have already started using the YOC Ad Plus: Wilkinson, SAP, Coca-Cola, BlackBerry, Continental and Vodafone.
In the affiliate marketing segment, the YOC subsidiary belboon offers an affiliate marketing platform that enables success-related online and mobile marketing. This marketing format is based on "cost per performance" models. In the first quarter of 2011, the affiliate marketing segment focused on the expansion of national and international business activities and the consolidation of our technological platform. The launch of platform features such as re-targeting and performance display advertising continues to set the network apart from its competitors. Our focus was also on corporate restructuring and the resulting rise in the number of employees in order to optimise network operations and to further increase turnover and profits.

The YOC Share
The market for the YOC share was relatively volatile in the first quarter of 2011. Over the first few weeks, the share price fell below the closing price for the 2010 financial year. 13 January 2011 saw a quarterly low of EUR 29.66; the price subsequently stabilised.
Within just a few days in early February 2011, the share price then rose to a quarterly high of EUR 41.90 (09 February 2011) − performance of 23%.
Unrest in North Africa did not affect performance of the YOC share. In mid-March, however, the situation changed. The devastating
earthquake in Japan and the resulting tsunami and nuclear problems cause the YOC share and other technology securities to fall significantly. At EUR 30.80 , the share price was nevertheless above the quarter's low of 13 January 2011.
Following publication of the preliminary results for the 2010 financial year, the YOC share price began to rise again on 17 March 2011 to reach nearly EUR 35.00.
The share closed on 31 March at the end of the first quarter of 2011 at EUR 34.30.

Financial Position, Financial Performance and Cash Flow
In the first quarter of the financial year 2011, the YOC Group continued its consistent growth trend and saw a substantial increase in turnover and earnings. Revenues during the period under report increased by 10% from EUR 8.1 million to EUR 8.9 million. This was the highest turnover in a quarter in company history. The YOC Group was thus able to sustainably strengthen its market position as an internationally operating mobile technology and media provider. The overall performance in the first quarter of the financial year amounted to a total EUR 9.3 million. This is an increase of 11% compared to EUR 8.4 million last year.
Given the recent restructuring of YOC product segments and a stronger focus on the areas of Mobile Technology and Media, the first quarter of 2011 provides the first report covering this new, more transparent structure. Comparative figures for the previous year are indicated in the following report.
The mobile technology segment reported sales revenues of EUR 4.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. Its share in overall revenues amounted to 54%. It went down from 66% (EUR 5.3 million) in the same period last year. As expected, this segment has experienced a negative sales trend due to the fact we plan to be reduce or phase out projects which are no longer relevant to our core business activities. Due to the continuous development of YOC technologies, the Mobile Technology division is focused on its core activities - production, sales, licensing as well as implementation of innovative products and platforms for the product areas of Mobile Internet and Mobile Marketing. These core activities have experienced a positive development in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
In addition, the first quarter of 2011 saw operating earnings (EBITDA) in the Mobile Technology segment of EUR 1.3 million to EUR 1.4 million.
For the fiscal year 2011, in spite of this strategic focus we are still expecting positive sales growth.
As expected, the media segment including mobile advertising and affiliate marketing increased its share in YOC's total sales revenues substantially. Due to a raise in sales revenues by 48% from EUR 2.8 million to EUR 4.1 million, the share in total turnover amounted to 46% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to only 34% in the same period last year. This sharp rise was largely driven by the continuous, extremely positive development of the mobile advertising segment, where large international campaigns were launched for high profile customers. The increase in sales revenues of the media segment due to acquisitions amounted to EUR 0.2 million: the French company MobilADdict SAS, Paris, was acquired in March 2011 and has become a fully owned subsidiary.
The YOC Group continues to grow continuously in international markets. Revenue of the international business increased from 1.9 million EUR in the first quarter 2010 by 70% to 3.3 million EUR. Thus, international share of revenue now amounts to 37% (compared to 24% in the previous year), of which 0.2 million EUR are to be allocated to the recently pursued acquisition of MobilADdict SAS, Paris.
Most important international market remained the United Kingdom with a revenue amounting to 1.2 million EUR, followed by Spain (0.5 million EUR), France (0.4 million EUR), Switzerland (0.3 mil-

Distribution by segment

lion EUR), Austria (0.3 million EUR) and the United States (0.2 million EUR). Further international markets, such as Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands, generated a total of 0.4 million EUR in revenue.
The revenue generated in the domestic German market fell, according to expectations, from 6.1 million EUR to 5.6 million EUR. Thus, share of revenue generated in Germany currently amounts to 63%. This is mainly due to the recently commenced strategic focusing and the herewith associated reduction or discontinuation of noncore activities, e.g. in the segment of Mobile Technology.
However, regarding the entire 2011 financial year, we expect an overall positive development of revenue in the domestic German market.
Due to the increase in incoming orders, cost of materials rose by 10% from EUR 3.5 million to EUR 3.8 million, which was broadly proportional to sales growth. In spite of the disproportionate growth in the media segment, the contribution margin of which is usually lower, the overall gross profit margin remained relatively stable (59%). This is mainly due to the consistent product focus in the mobile technology segment which has helped to sustainably improve the contribution margin.
The YOC Group expanded its staff due to the growth of domestic and foreign business activities. Compared to the previous year, the average number of employees rose by 19 to 194 due to internal and external growth. The YOC Group had 194 permanent employees by 31st March 2011. Due to the increase in staff, personnel costs rose by EUR 0.4 million to EUR 3.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 on a year-to-year basis. The personnel cost ratio, which is personnel costs in relation to overall performance, increased slightly from 33% to 34% compared to the same period last year.
Other operational expenditure remained almost unchanged amounting to EUR 1.3 million compared to the same period last year. This was a significant decrease in relation to overall performance reaching 14% compared to 16% in the same period last year.
During the period under report, YOC's operating result before depreciation increased by 22% from EUR 0.8 million to EUR 1.0 million. EBITDA margin growth from 10% to 11% is based on the increase in overall performance, resulting from the focus on scalable segments and synergy effects between segments.
In the mobile technology segment, EBITDA increased by 6% from EUR 1.3 million to EUR 1.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2010. In the media segment, EBITDA rose by 57% to EUR 0.4 million compared to EUR 0.3 million in the same period last year. The improved result is mainly due to the scalability of YOC's business
model along with growing business volume and the sustainable implementation of the product strategy.
The improvement in the company's performance during the period under report led to EBIT growth from EUR 0.5 million to EUR 0.6 million. Earnings before tax (EBT) increased from EUR 0.4 million to EUR 0.6 million on a year-to-year basis. After-tax earnings improved from EUR 0.3 million to EUR 0.4 million.
Liquid assets of the YOC Group amounted to EUR 4.4 million as of the balance sheet date and are thus EUR 0.8 million down on 31st December 2010.
In the first quarter of 2011, operating cash flow amounted to EUR -0.6 million compared to EUR -1.1 million in the same period last year. It was mainly influenced by the contractual bonus payments to be made annually to the employees and managers of the YOC Group in the first quarter of every year. There was also more capital tied up in current assets due to the increasing sales volume. Company-wide working capital management is continued in order to reverse this trend and to make sure that sufficient liquid assets are available for further growth and the expansion of national and international business operations.
Cash flow from investment business amounted to EUR -0.5 million in the first quarter of 2011, which is mainly a result of the development and activation of in-house developed software. Leading the technological market is essential in order to grow further and strengthen the market position. This is why a total of more than 40 software engineers are working in the development department to develop further and create new software solutions and platforms.
Cash effects of financing activities amounting to EUR -0.1 million are largely caused by scheduled loan redemptions and further repayments of liabilities to financial institutions.
Moreover, the first consolidation of the just recently acquired MobilADdict SAS, Paris, resulted in the increase of liquid assets in the amount of EUR 0.4 million.
The company's equity-to-assets ratio dropped slightly to 49% on 31st March 2011. This development mainly reflects purchase price liabilities amounting to around EUR 2.2 million as a result of the acquisition of MobilADdict SAS, Paris.
Report on Risks and Opportunities Outlook
The YOC Group is an internationally oriented 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'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 quarter of 2011, the illustrated risk situation did not substantially change compared to the annual report of 2010. Taking account of all known facts and conditions, there are currently no substantial risks. For an overview of future developments, please see section "Outlook".
In the first quarter of the financial year 2011, the YOC Group generated the highest turnover in company history: EUR 8.9 million. The operating result was also substantially higher with an increase of 22% on a quarter-to-quarter basis.
This positive development is due to YOC's vision to become a global leader for mobile technology and media. In order to reach this objective, YOC has implemented the following strategies which are to be developed further in the future: firstly, focussing on the mobile technology segment and the media segment, secondly, taking a more product-cantered approach, thirdly, launching business in and transferring technology to countries where the group has not been active yet or only to a limited extent.
The strong market growth experienced in the first quarter of the current fiscal year is expected to continue in the coming months. The following factors will continue to have a positive impact on the market: the growing popularity of mobile devices, the growing use of smartphones and the increasing use of the mobile internet that comes along with it.
The YOC Group is ideally positioned for this strong market growth. The scalable media offer, the presence on European core markets and leading enabling technologies to ensure continuous production and development of new products and platforms promise a continuing above-average participation in future market growth.
For the financial year 2011 we expect turnover to rise to EUR 36.0 or even 38.0 million.
