Sedo Holding AG: First 9 months with sales volume of EUR 92 million
and an EBT of EUR 4.8 million

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cologne, November 9, 2011. Sedo Holding AG today announced the Group
financial indicators for the first 9 months of 2011. The company can look
back on a stable trend within the scope of its expectations.
Group sales increased in the first 9 months of 2011 by 9.7% to EUR 92.0
million (same period of previous year: EUR 83.9 million). Growth was driven
by the Affiliate Marketing segment with an increase in sales from EUR 51.8
million to EUR 62.5 million. Sales in the Domain Marketing segment
declined, in particular due to a weaker trend in Domain Parking, from EUR
32.0 million to EUR 29.4 million.
As a result of the declining sales volume in the higher margin Domain
Marketing and the investments in further growth in the foreign Affiliate
Marketing business, the EBITDA of EUR 5.5 million remained slightly below
the previous year's figure (EUR 5.9 million). The pre-tax result (EBT)
increased by 23.1% from EUR 3.9 million to EUR 4.8 million. In the previous
year, scheduled depreciations and amortization (EUR 0.8 million) were
included in the EBT from company acquisitions, which no longer apply in
2011. The result from continued operations in the period under report was
EUR 2.7 million, compared with a figure of EUR 1.5 million in the same
period of the previous year. Earnings per share (from continued operations)
increased from EUR 0.05 to EUR 0.09.
In Affiliate Marketing, the number of partner programmes increased by 10.7%
and the number of the participating websites increased by 6.9%. The number
of registered members on the domain platform was increased from 1.1 million
to over 1.3 million. In the 2nd quarter of 2011, for economic reasons, a
data adjustment was conducted in the areas of Domain Trading and Domain
Parking. As a result, the number of domains tradable on the platform as of
September 30th, 2011 was reduced to 15.3 million (previous year's figure:
17.2 million). The number of the domains available for marketing purposes
declined correspondingly to 5.2 million (previous year's figure: 7.5
million).
In the 4th quarter of 2011, besides the development of the large customer
business, the process of internationalization in the Affiliate Marketing
segment will be continued. Against this background, and on the basis of the
current market conditions, the Management Board continues to expect a
doubling of the EBT in the 2011 financial year to EUR 6.6 million and an
increase in sales of 10% compared with the previous year's figure.
