SÈVRES, France--()--Regulatory News:

SoLocal Group (Paris:LOCAL):

  • Q3 2015 results:
    • Internet revenues of €152 million, up +2%1
    • Revenues of €212 million, down -6%1
    • EBITDA2 of €78 million, down -4%1
    • EBITDA/revenue margin3 of 37%
  • The operational contingency plan announced in April has been implemented to a large extent.
    The outlook for the year becomes:
    • Annual Internet revenue growth reduced between +3% and +5%4
    • Annual EBITDA/revenue margin3 increased to 31%
    • Securisation of compliance with bank covenants

Jean-Pierre Remy, Chief Executive Officer of SoLocal Group, stated: “We have favoured above all profitability. Implementing the operational contingency plan has produced the expected outcome and given us the required leeway with respect to our financial covenants. This gives us the time to explore all refinancing options.”

I. Revenues and EBITDA

The Board of Directors approved the Group’s consolidated accounts as of 30 September 2015.

When presenting its Q3 2015 results, SoLocal Group separates the evolution of its continued activities from that of divested activities (see press release of 19 October 2015). Business indicators discussed are for continued activities. The indicators for all activities are provided in the appendix.

Scope of continued activities

The Group posted revenues of €658.4 million in the first 9 months of 2015, a decrease of -4.6% compared to the first 9 months of 2014 (-6.1% in Q3):

  • The Internet business grew by +4.3% (+1.7% in Q3), driven by the positive evolution of the Digital marketing business, which was up +9.5%, and Local search ARPA, which increased by +8%, despite a slowdown in new client acquisition due to reduced investments in sales.
  • The Print & Voice business fell by -21.9% over the period (-21.2% in Q3), which is in line with the trend in the first half of the year.

Scope of continued activities

Recurring EBITDA8 was €217.0 million in the first 9 months of 2015, which was -14.2% lower than in the first 9 months of 2014. The EBITDA/revenue margin was 33% in the first 9 months of 2015, a drop of 4 points compared to the first 9 months of 2014. This limited decrease results from a strong margin of 37% in Q3 2015, which reflects the successful implementation of the operational contingency plan, a sharp reduction in costs and the divestment of unprofitable and not growing businesses.

Net income   10.6   16.9   +59.4%   50.9   50.9   +0.0%
Scope of continued activities

EBITDA of €213.0 million in the first 9 months of 2015 is down -2.5% as the decrease in recurring EBITDA was partially offset by limited exceptional items in connection with the operational contingency plan. These figures do not take into account, as of 30 September 2015, the potential impacts of the voluntary departures plan and of the decision of the Conseil d’Etat on the annulment of the approval of the Employment Safeguard Plan by the French labor inspectorate (Direccte) late 2013.

Depreciation and amortisation amounted to -€34.9 million in the first 9 months of 2015, up +2.3% compared to the first 9 months of 2014.

Net financial income was negative by -€64.0 million in the first 9 months of 2015, down -15.9% compared to the first 9 months of 2014, mainly due to the impact of debt repayments made between the two periods.

In the first 9 months of 2015, the Group recognised corporate income tax expense of -€50.1 million, up +7.3% compared to the first 9 months of 2014. The effective tax rate of 44% in the first 9 months of 2015 was 1 point higher than in the first 9 months of 2014.

Net income from continued activities amounted to €64.0 million in the first 9 months of 2015, up +4.1% compared to the first 9 months of 2014 (of which, €22.4 million in Q3 2015, up 64.7% compared to Q3 2014).

Net income from divested activities totalled -€13.1 million in the first 9 months of 2015, a drop of -23.6% compared to the first 9 months of 2014, mainly due to exceptional provisions recognised in connection with the divestments of these activities.

The Group’s net income totalled €50.9 million in the first 9 months of 2015, which was stable compared to the first 9 months of 2014 (of which, €16.9 million in Q3 2015, up +59.4% compared to Q3 2014).

Net debt10 totalled €1,098.7 million as of 30 September 2015, a decrease of €61.5 million compared to 30 September 2014, as a result of the cash generated by the Group’s businesses.

9 Including share of profit or loss of an associate
10 Net debt is the gross financial debt plus or minus the fair net asset value of asset and/or liability derivative instruments used for cash flow hedging purposes, minus cash and cash equivalents

Net cash flow from continued activities was €58.0 million in the first 9 months of 2015, up +32.7% compared to the first 9 months of 2014 (of which, €11.8 million in Q3 2015, up 159.0% compared to Q3 2014).

Net cash flow from divested activities was -€5.4 million in the first 9 months of 2015, an increase of 28.0% compared to the first 9 months of 2014, as the extraordinary provisions recognised in connection with the divestments of these activities have only marginal cash impacts.

The Group’s net cash flow was €52.6 million in the first 9 months of 2015, up +45.3% compared to the first 9 months of 2014 (of which, €9.3 million in Q3 2015, up 138.60% compared to Q3 2014).

As of 30 September 2015, the Group had a net cash position of €69.2 million.

III. Outlook for 2015

The Group has lowered its revenue growth outlook and raised its profitability outlook with regard to continued activities:

  • Internet revenue growth between 3% and 5%11
  • Revenues down around -5%11
  • EBITDA/revenue margin12 of 31%
  • Net income13 stable compared to 2014

In addition:

  • The Group secures compliance with bank covenants;
  • The reverse stock split has been effective on 26 October 2015.
