CEO Matthias Stadelmeyer's comments
“This is the second consecutive quarter in which the gross profit trend improved
year-on-year compared to previous quarters. This positive development is linked
to increasing business from key clients and a general positive underlying trend
across most countries. It is also the result of new product launches such as
ADAPT, User Journey Reporting and Fingerprint Tracking and overall improvements
to our systems and processes.

In April 2016 we launched TD ENGAGE which is a solution that helps online
retailers to find new customers and allows Tradedoubler to address a larger part
of the digital marketplace. TD ENGAGE uses a powerful combination of data and
artificial intelligence to understand purchase behaviour and to accurately
identify and reach both new and existing customers with relevant, targeted
advertising. It is currently being rolled out in the UK and Germany with
positive initial results and will be extended to our other markets over the rest
of 2016.

In April 2016 we also relaunched our affiliate and technology offerings under
the names of TD CONVERT and TD CONNECT, bringing greater clarity to how our
suite of solutions creates smarter results for our clients. To showcase all our
solutions in a more compelling way and drive increased engagement with clients
and prospects we have developed a new corporate website, tradedoubler.com.

During the second quarter 2016 Tradedoubler will launch an initial version of
Cross Device Tracking, a market-leading solution that will enable Tradedoubler
to track the online purchase journeys of individual customers across multiple
devices. To build on our heritage in innovation we recently launched TD
Ventures, a business accelerator programme with a fund of €5 million to invest
in digital start-ups. We are seeking companies that complement our existing
business or that are pioneering new digital technologies. The development of
these new client-led solutions and the launch of TD Ventures are integral to our
strategy to address a broader digital marketplace.

We are making good progress with our continued work to bring Tradedoubler back
to profitable growth.”
