Importantly the Group's Q1 KPIs are significantly ahead of the same period in 2012 and the prior quarter. The growth in new depositing and total depositing customers year on year has resulted in a 39% increase in total net revenue versus Q1 2012 following increased investment in marketing.
Mobile and tablet have been star performers in the quarter and now make a significant contribution to the Group's overall net revenue increasing 364% on the same period in 2012 and 98% quarter on quarter.
The Group continues to diversify its marketing, During Q1, the Group has invested more heavily in pure online marketing to complement the existing TV advertising spend. Early indications are that this investment is yielding positive results.
The Directors are pleased with this continued strong performance and are confident of meeting full year market expectations.
