Over the 1st half of this year, the aufeminin group delivered revenues of €57 million, up 6.2% and 9.9% at constant currency, driven by a sharp acceleration in growth in Q2 to €32 million, an increase of 13.6% and 21.5% at constant currency:

• - on the French market, revenues were up 15.2% to €28.6 million, driven by strong growth in business at Auféminin and Marmiton, coupled with the impact of the Ykone acquisition. Growth in Q2 alone amounted to 28.2%, up from 1.4% in Q1;

• - International revenues were down 1.6% to €28.5 million, but up 5.1% at constant currency. Business in Q2 surged by 15.2% at constant currency versus a decline of 5% in Q1. International business continued to be driven by a good performance from My Little Paris in Japan while Livingly Media delivered growth excluding the currency impact.

In line with its strategy, the Group continues to roll out its businesses and its transformation, with 17% growth in programmatic advertising and content marketing and 16% growth in its transactional activities, including social e-commerce.

In addition, the Group has begun to roll out its influence marketing business through Ykone, which it acquired at end-April 2018. This gradual transformation of the model should have an impact on profitability in the short term but will create value in the medium term.
