Cliq Digital - Muted H1, marketing spend to drive H2 uptick

Due to product launch delays at the end of FY17, CLIQ Digital (CLIQ) saw H1 revenues and operating profits fall by 12% and 38% y-o-y. However, net income benefited from a non-recurring credit of €0.8m due to reductions in estimated contingent consideration. Nevertheless, we are encouraged by the growing marketing expenditure, which should drive improved performance in H2. The shares trade at a substantial discount to peers.
