Press release
Paris, May 2nd 2012
Organic growth of 15.8% for the first quarter 2012
LeGuide.com generated an organic growth of 15.8% for the first quarter 2012 with
revenues of ?8.3 million (unaudited figure) as compared to ?7.2 million for the
first quarter 2011.
The dynamic activity, particularly in France, perfectly illustrates the
efficiency of the audience acquisition strategy implemented by the group.
LeGuide.com's audience has increased by 16% during this period and reached 14.9
million unique visitors (excluding Ciao).
The number of e-merchants is up 11% at 76 200. The number of offers increased by
27% and reaches 161 million.
Outlook: Ciao's assets integration starting in the second quarter contributing
to additional growth.
LeGuide.com finalised the acquisition of the European Shopping Guide Ciao on
March 19th 2012. With this deal, LeGuide.com is now number 1 in Europe with a
total unduplicated audience of 28.9 Million Unique Visitors*.
This acquisition will be integrated in the group's accounts starting 2(nd)
quarter 2012. This acquisition should generate additional revenues of ?12 to ?14
million in 2012 (on a nine months period).
LeGuide.com is leading a quick integration process to benefit from significant
size effect. Strong sales and operational synergies should enable an improved
level of Ciao's lower profitability.
During this financial year, the group plans to increase its marketing expenses
in order to pursue its audience acquisition strategy and its organic growth.
Next publication: 2(nd) quarter revenues on 24th July 2012 after market close
