Nuremberg, Amsterdam, 15 July 2024

ad pepper media International N.V., one of Europe's leading performance
marketing companies, today announces its preliminary results for the second
quarter and reports gross sales of EUR 20,403k (Q2 2023: EUR 20,967k). Group
revenue of EUR 5,224k corresponds to a slight year-on-year decrease of 3.2
percent (Q2 2023: EUR 5,339k). At segment level, Webgains recorded a decline
in revenue of 4.5 percent to EUR 2,791k (Q2 2023: EUR 2,924k) and ad agents
a decline of 3.2 percent to EUR 1,807k. The ad pepper segment achieved a
slight increase in revenue to EUR 626k (Q2 2023: EUR 609k).

Group EBITDA totalled EUR 487k in the second quarter, a significant
improvement compared to the same period of the previous year (Q2 2023: EUR
-118k). The main driver of the strong EBITDA performance at group level was
the Webgains segment, which generated EBITDA of EUR 433k in Q2 2024 (Q2
2023: EUR 288k). The ad agents segment generated EBITDA of EUR 262k (Q2
2023: EUR 72k) and ad pepper EBITDA of EUR 86k (Q2 2023: EUR 31k).

In the first six months of 2024, the ad pepper group generated gross sales
of EUR 41,176k (H1 2023: EUR 40,559k), while Group revenue amounted to EUR
10,400k (H1 2023: EUR 10,498k).

In comparison to negative EBITDA in the same period of the previous year (H1
2023: EUR -446k), EBITDA improved significantly by EUR 1,153k and thus rose
to EUR 707k in the first half of 2024. The segment EBITDAs were as follows:
Webgains contributed EBITDA of EUR 1,064k (H1 2023: EUR 476k), while ad
agents came out with EUR 454k (H1 2023: EUR -25k) and ad pepper with EUR 73k
(H1 2023: EUR 33k).

We enter the next half-year with a continued efficient cost base and, as in
previous years, expect a strong fourth quarter in terms of revenue
development and profitability. For the Webgains segment in particular, we
expect positive growth rates in the coming half-year, driven by the
successful acquisition of new clients and our initiatives in the area of
artificial intelligence.

The report for the first six months of 2024 will be published on 16 August
2024.
