OSLO, Norway, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Trading update
AdColony
Since we reported our 3Q20 numbers on October 27, we have seen accelerating revenue
growth in November, and so far in December which are significantly
above our expectations. The above-expected results come from the
Brand part of AdColony which contributes around 80% of revenue and
is across all geographies, including APAC, EMEA and the US and
fueled in particular by our programmatic business. Gross margins
quarter to date are slightly above expectations and what we saw in
3Q20.
Trading update Bemobi
Due to the ongoing IPO process which had launched when we
reported out 3Q20 results, we did not provide any guidance for
Bemobi.
Bemobi have in 4Q20 delivered in line with management's
expectations and are on track to deliver both increased revenue and
increased adj. EBITDA in 4Q20 vs 3Q20.
Updated financial outlook for 2020
Reference is made to Otello's 3Q20 report where we provided
guidance for AdColony for 4Q20 and 2020. We said we expected
AdColony to grow 10-15% vs. 4Q19 (which was $55.2 million). We also reiterated the annual
guidance of around 10% growth for FY 2020 vs. FY 2019 (which was
$183.9 million). Based on the trading
update above and expected continued strong momentum for the rest of
December, we now expect AdColony to deliver revenue growth of
around 30% (vs. 10-15% prior) in 4Q20 vs. 4Q19 and around 14% (vs.
10% prior) in FY 2020 vs. FY 2019.
Otello expects to publish 4Q 2020 interim results on
19 February 2021 as planned, with a
webcast for investors and analysts on the same day.
