Letter from the CEO


Tradedoubler’s business in the third quarter of 2024 saw an increase in revenue of 2% on

a currency adjusted basis and 10% in gross profit (on currency adjusted basis). Adjusted

EBITDA was 19 M SEK which is a slight decrease from 21 M SEK in Q3 of 2023.


These Q3 results are achieved in an overall challenging market environment in global e-

commerce. Weak economies, high inflation rates and lower levels of income make

consumers reduce consumption and brands earn less. As a result, we are experiencing

challenges in some markets within our Partner Marketing business which declined

slightly by 2% in gross profit. The Influencer Marketing business, Metapic, compensated

this decline with a growth of 91% of gross profit. This growth is higher than the average

of recent quarters and partly achieved by lower comparison numbers in Q3 2023. These

numbers are all on currency adjusted basis.


While Q3 has shown strong increases in net sales in some markets, other markets

showed weaker growth rates or decline. Growth was achieved in the DACH region, the

South and in UK & Ireland, whereas France & Benelux and the Nordics decreased by -14%

and -5% respectively. R-Advertising and its email marketing business declined and is not

as profitable as before.


Despite said challenges and market headwinds, we are well prepared for the upcoming

quarters due to our diverse products, our growing market coverage and strategic

enhancements of our business. Our unique product mix ranging from Partner

Marketing, Influencer Marketing, App Marketing and other digital marketing business

lines makes us less dependant on external economic factors.


Our new brand platform was launched in September of 2024 and has been received very

well in our markets, both externally and internally. With our redefined strategy and

stronger focus on the core of our business – boosting partnerships – we aim to produce

considerable growth by growing our existing business and gaining market share, even if

market environments remain challenging.


At this point I would like to thank the Tradedoubler team for standing behind our new

brand strategy and the positive energy in “boosting partnerships”.
