Third quarter revenues up +5% In the 3rd quarter of 2017, the aufeminin group recorded revenues of €25.6 million, up 5%. Over the 9 months to end-September, the Group thus recorded revenues of €79.3 million, also up 5%. Continuing the trends observed over the first half of the year, the Group saw mixed fortunes depending on the brands and the countries involved.
Sharp improvement in profitability in Q3 2017
Total core operating expenses increased by just +2% in the 3rd quarter, thanks to a -4% decrease in staff costs while other operating expenses increased in line with activity.
Following a number of quarters of significant expenses increases, due to the ambitious transformation of its business model, the Group stabilizes its operating costs.
Hence the growth in Programmatic Display Advertising and social e-commerce revenues combined with the limited increase in operating costs allowed the Group to record EBITDA of €4.5 million in Q3, an improvement of 20%, and a 200 bp improvement in the EBITDA margin to 17.4%, versus 15.2% in Q3 2016. This 3rd quarter financial performance fully reflects the positive effects expected from the change in the businesses mix supported by a rationalisation of operating expenses both in France and abroad.
However, over the first 9 months of the year, profitability was still affected by the investments required to pursue this business model transformation. Core expenses totalled €66 million, up 11%, and EBITDA was €13.3 million, giving a margin of 16.8%.
Once amortisation and depreciation are taken into account, as well as other non-recurring expenses, 3rd quarter operating profit almost doubled to €3.2 million, giving a margin of 12.5% compared with 6.8% in Q3 2016. Over the first 9 months of the year to the end of September, the Group recorded an operating profit of €8.7 million, giving a margin of 11%.
