Andreas Bodczek, CEO of RNTS Media, commented: "The acquisition of Fyber marked a transformation in the strategy of RNTS Media, as the company shifted its focus towards building a leading business to business (B2B) Supply Side Platform (SSP) for mobile in-app advertising. This strategy is supported by strong industry trends such as the global proliferation of smartphones, continued rise of digital media consumption, redistribution of digital ad spend towards mobile, as well as content monetization challenges that app developers face in today's app ecosystem. We have used the first 9 months of this year to invest in our business model, technology and publisher tools to take advantage of these trends, while at the same time driving adoption of our platform among larger publisher clients. We have also significantly strengthened our balance sheet through the issue of EUR100m of convertible bonds and adopted the highest standards of transparency and trading liquidity for our shareholders by moving the listing of our shares to the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Our focus is now on realising the organic growth potential created by our investments while progressively building our market position and reach through acquisitions."
