CEO Matthias Stadelmeyer’s comments

Tradedoubler´s business continued to grow at similar pace as in recent quarters and it actually even accelerated a bit more in the third quarter of 2022.

Total revenue in Q3 grew by 19%, gross profit by 16% and EBITDA was SEK 18 M, all figures on currency adjusted comparison and without change related items.

The reasons for our good results despite challenging macro-economic circumstances are Tradedoubler´s product portfolio and the expertise, spirit and energy of our teams in the markets.

Tradedoubler now offers a full suite of performance marketing solutions and technology with affiliate marketing as the core and the new offerings of Metapic, Grow and Appiness that have grown substantially during the year.

With this product portfolio we are able to connect our clients to relevant traffic sources and grow their business with our expertise and passion for creating meaningful results. We win relevant new clients while losing very few. 

It is especially pleasing to see good growth rates in all Tradedoubler products and in all regions. 

The increase of operational expenses compared to last year is linked to investments in our product platform and into the growth areas Metapic, Grow and Appiness.

In the coming quarters we will continue to further build on our market position and product portfolio. With these assets we will be able to continue our mission to grow the business of our clients and partners with meaningful results for all stakeholders. We enjoy a lot what we do and continue our mission with passion and courage. I look forward to your continued company on this journey.
