Update: A brush with success

Following a year of investment and reorientation in FY14, artnet had good success in FY15 in turning its Gallery segment back into growth and in building strong web traffic – and hence group advertising revenues – with artnet News. In US dollar terms, FY15 group revenues were up 4% y-o-y, with currency swelling this to a 24% rise in euro terms. This implies a strong Q4, following top-line reported growth of 1% for Q1-Q3. The shift in mix is helping gross margins and with stable operating costs in US dollars, artnet has marched forward into profitability, with further progress forecast for FY16 and FY17.
