CEO's comments
"We had a strong close to 2010. The market for our core business Network
(Affiliate and Campaign) continued to improve during the fourth quarter.
Furthermore, TradeDoubler developed better than the market as a whole - a result
of the focus we have achieved through a new strategy and a refined organisation.
We saw substantial transaction increases in TradeDoubler's network, particularly
as a result of the sharp rise in online Christmas shopping. The currency-
adjusted gross profit in Network increased by over 20 per cent, which was partly
counterbalanced by declines in Technology and Search. At the same time, the new
strategy means that we have faced higher costs in the short-term, first and
foremost, relating to the introduction of a new organisation. We have limited
the fall in sales in England within Search, reduced the costs and continued to
strengthen the sales growth in our focus markets. Within Technology, we have
continued to focus the business in order to ensure continued profitable growth.
The efforts carried out early in the year within product development have
already resulted in new product releases during the fourth quarter. We have
advanced our position in many markets during the year and won several important
business deals as a result of greater sales focus as well as the improved market
situation.
We have implemented several measures aimed at improving efficiency, while at the
same time, we have continued to be careful in assuming new costs. All in all,
TradeDoubler is well-equipped for 2011. We are continuing the work in relation
to our strategic pillars "One world-class performance-based network", "One cost-
efficient company" and "One sales- and results-driven corporate culture". We
have launched our new business structure, market structure and organisation and
are working hard in line with our goal of growing faster than the market with
scalable profitability."
