Trading Update

Company expects to report EBITDA moderately ahead of market expectations for FY 2018

Taptica (AIM: TAP), a global leader in advertising technologies for performance-based mobile marketing and brand advertising, provides the following update on trading for the current financial year to 31 December 2018.

As noted in the Company's full year results announcement on 26 March 2018, the sales momentum of 2017 was sustained into 2018 and both revenue streams - performance-based marketing, provided by the Company's Taptica business, and brand advertising provided by its Tremor Video DSP business - have continued to grow. This is based on the Company expanding its Tier 1 client base as well as increasing its business with its existing household-name clients. In particular, the Company's international offices, primarily in the Asia-Pacific region, are making an increasing contribution to revenue.

The Company has also continued to work closely with the Tremor Video DSP team to implement operational and cost efficiencies and has been able to achieve further improvements in gross margin in that unit.

As a consequence, the Company expects to report adjusted EBITDA for FY 2018 moderately ahead of market expectations and revenue growth in line with market expectations demonstrating a moderately higher-than-expected EBITDA margin.

Taptica continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities, which remains a key element of the Company's growth strategy as previously stated and looks forward to updating the market in due course.  

This Announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014 ("MAR").
