WEBORAMA:REVENUE FOR 03 2012 SLIGHTLV ON THE RISE DESPITE DOWNTURN IN ADVERTISING MARKET
The consolidated revenue of the Weborama group for the third
quarter of 2012 stands
at € 5,200 K, compared with
€ 5,118 K far the same period in
2011, representing an increase of
2%.
Pro forma growth is at -3%.
Far the first nine months of the year, consolidated revenue
stands at € 16,898 €, a growth
of
14%.
After a slowdown in the summer, September witnessed an abrupt
drop in the advertising market across ali media, including
digitai. The amount of ads served fell sharply with some
advertisers postponing- although actually cancelling- their
ad spend during this period, a sign of concern
about a possible economie downturn. Given this sombre
economie backdrop, Weborama is focusing on two major
strategie priorities.
The first is the ongoing internationalisation of its
business, notably in areas of strong economie growth, such as
Russia where Weborama has acquired a 51% stake in the company
lnteractive Service. The Russian digitai market today boasts
the most dynamic growth in ali of Europe (35% in
2012). lnteractive Service has been proportionally integrated within Weborama accounts since 31
July 2012. In ali, the share of international
business continues to increase and now represents
46% of Weborama revenues.
Weborama is also focusing on increasing its presence on the
online data market where the group today holds a leading
position. Data is one of the most promising markets in the
online advertising sector. Weborama has been developing
innovative technologies and solutions in this field for more
than ten years, resulting in several new contracts in
2012. In 2013, data will join
technology and media as Weborama's three main business
lines.
Alain Levy, CEO of Weborama, explains: "The economie
situation, particularly in France and Spain, has deteriorated
to a point where, far the very first time, the
digitai market has fallen at the same rate as the rest of the
advertising market - which was unexpected. The role that
France and Spain play in our business explains
Weborama's relatively stable position, but the current
situation and a lack of visibility cali far caution.
Nevertheless, we have great confidence in our assets in the
fields of technology, innovation and datato see Weborama
through this difficult period. Our pioneering position in the
data online market and our geographic growth in emerging
areas such as Russia represent significant advantages."
