MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
The first half of 2021 delivered significant growth. On the back of excellent business performance with both sales and earnings continuously increasing, we introduced new and important content categories and closed an important corporate transaction to substantially boost our EPS. However, we have even more wide-ranging plans for the second half of 2021. Our H2 playbook forecasts a considerable ramp-up in revenue (just look at our CBV development), a material improvement in the look-and-feel of our All-in-One concept and the first positive results from our M&A team as well as the next new, organic market entry. We are all very excited about the fundamentals and opportunities provided in the second half and we are gaining further traction.

Sales
CLIQ Digital Group's gross revenue increased by 34% to €63.2 million (6M 2020: €47.2 million) from January to June 2021. The
share of European and North American gross revenue was 42% and 49% respectively (6M 2020: 51% and 42% respectively). This significant year-on-year shift in geographic weighting is due to the initial focus by the company's own media buying team on the North American market. The predominant and fastest growing payment means in the first six months was credit card, which amounted to 67% of gross revenue (6M 2020: 51%).
In the second quarter 2021 (01/04-30/06/2021), CLIQ Digital generated gross revenue of €33.1 million (2Q 2020: €26.9 million). This corresponds to an increase of 23% compared to the second quarter of the previous year and a sequential improvement of 10% quarter-on-quarter in comparison to the first quarter 2021. The European operations continued to grow also in the second quarter by 11% highlighting the positive sales development resulting also from the introduction of the own, direct media buying to Europe. 69% of total gross revenue in 2Q 2021 was paid for with credit card (2Q 2020: 53%), marking the highest level in company history.
Earnings
In the first half 2021, CLIQ Digital's EBITDA grew by 83% to €11.6 million (6M 2020: €6.3 million) and included higher marketing
expenses - one of CLIQ's most important KPIs for further revenue growth - of €21.0 million (+29%, 6M 2020: €16.3 million), which underline CLIQ's accelerating focus on direct media buying (via an own procurement team) and the corresponding fundamental shift from media buying via affiliated partners. In addition, improving the content offering to facilitate both new member acquisition as well as extend customer retention is reported in the higher cost for content. In 2Q 2021, the EBITDA margin (in per cent of gross revenue) was 19% compared to 15% in last year's second quarter.
