Letter from the CEO

During Q4 we were able to continue the positive trend of our business from recent quarters. The last quarter of the year with Black Week and Christmas sales is the most important period for our business and it was good to see that we could deliver on these main events and across all markets, all products and industry verticals. 

The results demonstrate again that Tradedoubler is well positioned in the performance marketing industry as we were able to deliver positive results despite an uncertain and weak market environment and low consumer confidence. 

The main reasons for our success are our portfolio of performance marketing solutions, our international scope with teams of performance marketing experts in all relevant European markets, our focus on innovative partners and client target groups that fit our offering.

Performance Marketing Solutions
Tradedoubler now offers a full suite of performance marketing solutions and technology with affiliate marketing as the core and the new offerings of Metapic, Grow and Appiness that have grown substantially during the year. With this set of solutions, we have been able to generate 25bn SEK revenue for our clients through 56m converted sales which is of strategic value for them. 

International scope
Our teams are located in 15 offices across Europe and we are one of very few companies in our industry that can deliver international campaigns with local expertise for our clients. 

Innovative partners
We are working with a partner network of 10.000s of websites and are a valuable partner by connecting them to our clients. Our focus on increasing the variety of traffic sources and opening up new traffic channels for performance marketing has helped to increase the value of our offering significantly. 

Client groups
We focus on clients that value our solution offering which means a combination of technology and consultancy services. We concentrate our efforts on the industries shopping & retail, fashion, travel and consumer electronics and are by now re-known for our expertise in these.  

Based on this we realized a revenue of 1.640 M SEK (+11%), 346 M SEK Gross Profit (+20%) and an EBITDA of 83 M SEK on currency adjusted comparison and excluding change related items in 2022 which is a result that we are proud of. 

In 2023 we will continue to further build on these focus areas and are confident that we will see continued progress and positive results based on the work we are doing. 

I want to thank our teams for their dedication, energy and spirit they put into our business every day, our clients and partners for their trust and loyalty and all stakeholders for their ongoing support.
