DGAP-News: CLIQ Digital AG publishes audited consolidated figures for 2014

DGAP-News: Cliq Digital AG / Key word(s): Final Results CLIQ Digital AG publishes audited consolidated figures for 2014 21.04.2015 / 08:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------- CLIQ Digital AG publishes audited consolidated figures for 2014 - Total annual revenue at EUR 47.3 million (previous year: EUR 51.8 million) - EBITDA increased by 91.7 percent to EUR 11.5 million (previous year: EUR 6.0 million) - Forecast 2015: double-digit increase in sales and double-digit growth in revenue expected DÃ¼sseldorf, April 21, 2015 - Die CLIQ Digital AG (ISIN DE000A0HHJR3, WKN A0HHJR), a leading provider of games, apps, software and entertainment for smartphones, tablets and desktops, has today announced its audited consolidated financial results for the fiscal year 2014. Development in revenue In 2014, the company generated revenue of EUR 47.3 million (previous year: EUR 51.8 million). Lower marketing spend in the final quarter of 2013 led to a temporary decline in revenue in the first half of 2014. An increase in marketing spend in the first half of 2014 not only halted this decline in revenue, but also had resulted in a quarter over quarter increasing revenues since the beginning of 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, revenue increased compared to the previous quarter (Q3 2014: EUR 12.4 million) as well as against the fourth quarter of 2013 (Q4 2013: EUR 9.4 million) to EUR 12.9 million. Development of earnings Marketing spend increased by 9 percent in the 2014 financial year compared to the previous year. Following changes in accounting estimates in 2014, marketing spend for customer acquisition is recognised as an intangible asset and amortised over the useful life of the customer relationship. As a result, marketing spend is better assigned, in terms of timing, to the revenue that results from it. Due to higher-margin marketing campaigns, the restructuring of debt and optimisation of the Group's structure as well as the changes in accounting estimates, EBITDA rose by 91.7 percent to EUR 11.5 million in 2014 (previous year: EUR 6.0 million). In the fourth quarter of 2014 EBITDA amounted to EUR 3.1 million (Q4 2013: EUR 0.5 million). In the past financial year net profit amounted to EUR 1.0 million (previous year: EUR 1.0 million) and not EUR 1.9 million as originally stated when the preliminary figures were published on 23 March 2015. In March 2015, the Company was informed, that CLIQ Digital's technical service provider in Mexico was disconnected by leading mobile operator Telcel. Consequently CLIQ Digital is no longer able to provide services to Telcel's customers. The Management Board seeks clarification for the situation and examines alternative opportunities for providing services in Mexico. However, since the Management Board cannot oversee whether the technical service provider in Mexico will be re-connected, the decision was taken to set an impairment loss on the full marketing asset related to the customer acquisition in 2014 in Mexico, with a negative effect on Net Income for 2014 of EUR 0.8 million. Balance sheet CLIQ Digital AG's equity amounted to EUR 39.2 million as of 31 December 2014 (previous year: EUR 35.8 million), while its share capital was EUR 6,188,714.00 (previous year: EUR 4,445,699.00). Outlook for 2015 The reorganisation of financing and capital measures implemented in the fourth quarter of 2014 substantially increased the company's financial strengths. In the year under review, CLIQ Digital also optimised its corporate structures significantly, reducing the number of companies in the Group from 30 to 16 including CLIQ Digital AG. The Group created a solid foundation for sustainable profitable growth. The Management Board is now in a position to focus fully on its core business. The CLIQ Digital Group already began to intensify its marketing activities considerably in the fourth quarter of 2014. In the current financial year, the company plans a further increase of its marketing spend. As a result, CLIQ Digital expects a double-digit increase in sales as well as double-digit growth in revenue compared to previous year.
