H1 2015 Trading Update

Solid first half with increased revenue and EBITDA on prior year, driven by growth in performance-based ad campaigns

InternetQ plc (LSE-AIM: INTQ), a leading provider of mobile marketing and digital entertainment solutions for mobile network operators and brands, announces the following trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

Financial update

InternetQ achieved continued growth across all business divisions during the first half of 2015. Revenue increased to c. €72 million (2014: €65.1 million), a 10% year-on-year (“YoY”) revenue improvement, even when compared to a particularly strong performance in H1 2014. Revenues were mainly fuelled by growth at Minimob, displacing the legacy Mobi-Dialogue business which has much lower margins. Adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately 35%, against the comparable prior year period, to over €13 million. EBITDA margins increased to approximately 18% reflecting higher margins in Minimob and maturity of the Akazoo model.

The Company has a strong pipeline with good visibility for the coming six months and is on track for even better growth in the historically stronger second half. The Company remains confident for full year results to be in line with market expectations.

Operational highlights

B2B - Mobile marketing

Increased traction for Minimob with new contracts secured with global brands, including Delivery Hero, a Rocket-Internet food-ordering service; Lazada, Southeast Asia's number one online shopping and e-commerce platform; and Bravofly, a flight search engine. Over 15,000 new performance-based ad campaigns ran through Minimob. Successful mobile marketing campaigns with leading operator Claro in Paraguay, CellC in South Africa and Zain in Bahrain.

B2C - Digital entertainment

Process of integrating Akazoo and R&R Music’s operations already underway. Strong traction and performance of Akazoo in SE Asia with growth rate in regional subscriber count exceeding 20%. Post period end, successfully secured €17 million investment in Akazoo by a consortium led by Toscafund Asset Management LLP and Penta Capital LLP, with the addition of R&R Music Ltd into the Group.

Panagiotis Dimitropoulos, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of InternetQ, said:

“I am pleased to report increased revenue and EBITDA on the prior year across both the B2B and B2C business divisions. Our investment in improving the functionality of the Minimob platform is paying off, with significant growth in app campaigns and the attraction of new global clients.

The first half of 2015 has also been exciting for Akazoo with the closing of the recent investment led by Toscafund and Penta Capital and the addition of R&R Music into the Group.

InternetQ is entering the historically busier second half of the year from a position of greater strength. We see greater momentum in the mobile marketing business and are set to drive synergies and serve new geographies in the digital entertainment business. We have a solid pipeline with good visibility and continue to invest in further growth.”

Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 will be announced on 30 September 2015.
