SOLOCAL- 2Q18 Comments

Solocal held a conference call this morning to discuss what proved to be a weak 1H18 financial performance. Revenue was down by 4.7% yoy to €350m while recurring EBITDA came in 11.9% weaker at €70m. This semester - and especially the latest quarter - the performance of the digital segment (84% of total revenue) was disappointing, albeit not really surprising given subdued digital sales orders in 1Q18 (-6% yoy) following the announcement of the redundancy plan (there is a timelag of a few months between orders and revenues).
