Successful first six months for AdLINK

Montabaur, August 8, 2005. The first half-year of 2005 has been a successful period for AdLINK Internet Media AG. There were significant improvements in both sales and earnings and the company posted a positive EBT result.

Compared with the same period last year, AdLINK Internet Media AG raised sales in the first half of 2005 by 58 percent to EUR 36.0 million (prior year: EUR 22.8 million). Earnings also improved strongly. EBITDA grew from EUR -0.1 million to EUR 1.3 million and EBT from EUR -2.4 million (including EUR 2.0 million of goodwill amortization) to EUR 0.9 million.  The improved result was due both to the profitability of the new acquisitions affilinet and Sedo as well as to enhanced earnings in the company’s traditional business segments. Earnings per share (EPS) improved from EUR -0.10 to EUR -0.01. However due to minority interests EPS remained slightly negative.
