Notes:
XLMedia is a global digital performance publisher. Operating across a variety of verticals including online gambling, personal finance, sports and technology, the Group uses proprietary tools and methodologies to identify and target high value clients for platform operators.
XLMedia has a clear transformation strategy, which will enable it to shape the future of the performance publishing industry. The Company has set out a clear strategic agenda under two fundamental priorities:
· A balanced portfolio of online assets
o XLMedia seeks to create a balanced portfolio of websites to cover a range of attractive geographies, both stable and high-growth verticals and with greater exposure to regulated markets. In doing so, the Company will focus particularly on developing presence in North American sports, primarily through targeted acquisition.
· Branded, content-rich, engaging websites
o XLMedia will consolidate its online portfolio, concentrating on a much smaller number of publishing assets, and focusing its resources on optimising this core set of premium sites for its chosen markets. These content-rich, engaging websites, underpinned by intelligent market-leading technology, will seek to build stronger lasting relationships with consumers and enhance monetisation opportunities.
