How can we do better?
Main reasons why we don’t succeed in Call for Tenders, that is, if we
don’t succeed
1. Geographical Coverage in APAC and LATAM
2. Client is too price driven by his procurement team
3. Trust in Brand is too low as NetBooster is not known across key decision
makers in all our regions and key markets
Main reasons why we loose clients, that is, if we loose them
1. Client is in financial turmoil
2. In-housing of projects or the entire topic with pure players
3. Key employees leave NB and the client relationship is with the employee
We need to work on Geo and Brand

Competitors
The big advertising networks act
under their sub-brands (iProspect)
Only Aegis, WPP and Publicis
compete with NetBooster and are of
a comparable size
Havas, IPG and Omnicom are not
competing with NB on a daily base
All medium sized competitors have
disappeared from the map (100-300
employees)
Therefore smaller agencies have the
space to develop (up to 50 employees)
After reaching a certain size they get
bought by the Networks (e.g. Trakken)

The benefits of the 2013/2014 restructuring exercise really started to flow through
to Gross Margin in 2015, with our strategic focus on international blue chip clients
bearing fruit and growth hitting 9% year on year
Management believes 2016 will continue in this vein as these and additional
regional and global corporate clients expand with us, along channel and
geographic lines
Furthermore, 2016 will also see further M&A led growth being added to the mix,
with 10%+ all-in growth in Gross Margin being earmarked by management

EBITDA
Management's focus on profitable client relationships once again proved to be merited,
with 2015 EBITDA breaking all the records coming in at €5.5m, whilst profitability
margins tended higher than at any time over the last number of years hitting 15%
Management reiterate it’s view from earlier this year, that a minimum EBITDA of €5.5m
should be achievable for the Fiscal Year 2016
This is a trade-off between ensuring a minimum level of profit was preserved and
investing in the Company's future growth prospects in the form of recruitment of
recognized talent, building stronger brand recognition and awareness, and embedding
one business culture across the group
