YOC announces around 35 % revenue growth for Q1 / 2017
- Expected revenue at EUR 3.10 million
- Programmatic business with around one third share in revenue
- Disproportionately strong growth in Great Britain and Poland
Berlin, 28 March 2017 – YOC AG (Frankfurt, Prime Standard, ISIN DE0005932735) significantly exceeds its own expectations for revenue in the first quarter. According to preliminary calculations, the revenue on group level will presumably come to EUR 3.10 million in the first quarter 2017 (Q1/2016: EUR 2.27 million). This is an expected growth of around 35 % year-on-year.
Responsible for the growth is the dynamically growing contribution to revenue by the automated sale via interacting trading systems in real-time (programmatic sales) in all markets, which already holds a share of one third of the overall revenue (Q1/2016: 12 %). The programmatic trade of YOC in-house products such as YOC Understitial Ad, YOC Inline Video Ad or YOC Mystery Ad substantially supports this development.
The British subsidiary YOC Mobile Advertising UK Ltd. as well as the Polish branch continue their positive development begun in the second half of 2016 and make a disproportionately high contribution to growth. All business activities in Germany, Austria and Spain developed within the company’s expectations for growth in Q1 / 2017.
Dirk Kraus, management and founder of YOC AG: „In the ongoing financial year, we will introduce further innovative ad-tech products into the market for our partners, so as to unlock further potential for programmatic sale.”
The revenue figures stated herein are still provisional. The financial report of YOC AG for the first quarter 2017 with the final financial figures will be published as scheduled on 30 May 2017.
