YOC publishes preliminary figures for financial year 2016: significant
increase in revenue and gross profit
- Around 23 % revenue growth at group level
- Gross profit increase to around 37 % through YOC in-house products
- Operating EBITDA improved by around EUR 1.0 million
Berlin, 13 March 2017 - YOC AG (ISIN DE0005932735) increased the revenue at
group level to presumably EUR 11.9 million in financial year 2016, according
to preliminary IFRS figures (2015: EUR 9.7 million). The revenue growth
year-on-year results from the positive development of the subsidiaries in
Spain (+85 %), Germany (+28 %) and Austria (+16 %). Also, the new subsidiary
in Poland realised increasing sales contributions in the course of the year.
Compared to the other locations, the business development in Great Britain
was still not satisfactory. Reappointing key positions and consistently
introducing YOC in-house products already led to a significant growth in
revenue in the final quarter and, as a consequence, a positive income
contribution in this market.
At the centre of the positive business development of YOC Group in financial
year 2016 stands the sustainable positioning in the market as a product
based provider of mobile programmatic advertising with an array of
proprietary products. As a result, the company faced a significant gross
profit increase to presumably around 37 % (2013: 29 %; 2014: 32 %; 2015: 33
%).
The operating result before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA*) in
financial year 2016 came to presumably EUR -1.1 to -1.2 million (2015: EUR
-1.1 million). In the previous year, the company generated one-off
restructuring gains amounting to around EUR 0.9 million. The adjusted EBITDA
in financial year 2016 hence improved by around EUR 0.9 million.
Sebastian Bauermann, Director of Finance YOC AG: "The past financial year is
proof that we have established a scalable business in the course of the
realignment process. This can be seen in the increase in revenue per
employee by around 30 % to kEUR 239 p.a. as well as noticeably improved
operating results."
All published figures are preliminary and unaudited. The annual financial
statement 2016 of YOC AG with the final business figures is due to be
published on 28 April 2017.
* EBITDA corresponds to the definition in the annual financial statement
2015 of YOC Group (available at
