As foreseen, the sales of the 1st quarter 2009/10 of €11.5M show a significant
increase (+12.7%) compared with the sales of the last quarter (April-June 2009):
€10.2M.
In line with its restructuring plan, Index Multimedia has intensified its
withdrawal from advertising investments on the less profitable media. These
actions have a direct impact on the decrease of the volume of sales of community
and charm products and services, but also in a large extent on services
dedicated to the mass market, such as interactive games, infotainment and mobile
personalization. All these elements have generated a decrease of €6.6M of the
revenue compared with the previous financial year.
Index Multimedia has achieved on one hand to confirm the development of its
micropayment business within its BtoB activities (Indirect Sales), and on the
other hand to strengthen its partnerships policy, especially on « Adults »
products and services.
Capitalizing on its clients` database of qualified consumers and unique CRM
tool, Index Multimedia accelerates over this first quarter 2009/2010 the
development of its External CRM business. This new activity allows the Business
Development Business units to increase its sales by 50% compared with the
previous quarter. In parallel, the group continues monetizing its web assets on
new promising markets.
Now in working order, Index Multimedia confirms its profitable growth strategy
