Welcome to ADLPartner’s financial information website. Its purpose is to provide you with regular and detailed information on our financial performance levels, and on the schedule for financial communication for the current year.
As European market leader in loyalty marketing through press subscriptions, ADLPartner has been listed for around ten years on the Eurolist of Euronext Paris – Compartment C.
In 2007, ADLPartner confirmed and further strengthened its strategy. A quick look over the past year shows that we achieved our goal this year.
In France, business is benefiting from the now complete integration of services and skills from France Abonnements and ADLPartner, which merged at the end of 2005, and the adaptation of know-how to the various distribution channels, with the internet, which offers promising development prospects, leading the way.
Resized with the end of commercial investments in the UK and the sale of our 50% stake in ADLPartner Switzerland, activities have focused on the most buoyant markets.
These good overall operational performances illustrate the relevance of the strategy implemented over the last few years and the soundness of our fundamentals, based on the Group’s good financial health.
In light of these satisfactory results, the Management Board has decided to submit a dividend of €0.23 per share, representing an increase of 15%.
The Group is looking ahead to 2008 with confidence, and intends to accelerate its business growth. In order to achieve this, ADLPartner is ramping up its commercial investments on its core business, both in France and internationally, capitalizing on its marketing know-how and its application on the various distribution channels. At the start of this year, this dynamic development was reflected in the acquisition of OFUP’s assets. This operation represents a key opportunity for ADLPartner to further strengthen its market shares on the 15-25 year-old target, who represent major press consumers and are very open to the internet.
The choice of a strategy which is firmly directed towards profitable growth fills me with confidence in our ability to generate wealth for our partners, customers and shareholders.
Jean-Marie Vigneron
Chairman of the Executive Board
