These figures further validate Invibes Advertising's international development growth strategy on which the success of Invibes Advertising has been built on.

Although already performing strongly, Invibes Advertising believes there continue to be significant growth opportunities in both existing countries and scale-up countries.

In addition, the new countries opened at the end of 2021 (The Netherlands, Nordics, South Africa and the UAE), whilst currently in the start-up phase, have localised teams in place following a recent recruitment drive, and are in place and ready to drive growth as from 2022.

Positive profitability expected in 2021

Invibes Advertising is not only focused on strong growth, but also on tightly managing its cost structure .

Based on its experience of launching activities in more than 10 countries, Invibes Advertising is able to precisely model the ROI of each new country to ensure it is contributing to the group's bottom line in just a few months.

This increased visibility of its model allows the company to be confident in achieving a positive EBITDA for the fiscal year 2021.

Outlook

Over the next few years, Invibes Advertising fully expects to continue its growth trajectory, driven by a digital advertising sector that has been boosted by the rise of digitalisation across all sectors of activity.

Invibes' growth strategy is centered around 6 major strategic levers:

• Acceleration of existing countries.
• The opening of new countries.
• Strengthening its technology platform.
• Deployment of technology services for its strategic clients.
• The launch of a 100% self-service platform dedicated to SMEs.
• The development of its subsidiary ML2Grow, which specialises in business services for Big Data and artificial intelligence projects.

This aggressive strategy will enable Invibes Advertising to reach its ambition of €100 million revenues by 2024, representing an annual average growth rate (CAGR) between 2020 and 2024 of around +72%. Whilst a significant portion of this growth should be achievable organically, it could also include some M&A activity.
