Notes:
XLMedia is a global digital performance publisher. Operating
across a variety of verticals including online gambling, personal
finance, sports and technology, the Group uses proprietary tools
and methodologies to identify and target high value clients for
platform operators.
XLMedia has a clear transformation strategy, which will enable
it to shape the future of the performance publishing industry. The
Company has set out a clear strategic agenda under two fundamental
priorities:
-- A balanced portfolio of online assets
o XLMedia seeks to create a balanced portfolio of websites to
cover a range of attractive geographies, both stable and
high-growth verticals and with greater exposure to regulated
markets. In doing so, the Company will focus particularly on
developing presence in North American sports, primarily through
targeted acquisition.
-- Branded, content-rich, engaging websites
o XLMedia will consolidate its online portfolio, concentrating
on a much smaller number of publishing assets, and focusing its
resources on optimising this core set of premium sites for its
chosen markets. These content-rich, engaging websites, underpinned
by intelligent market-leading technology, will seek to build
stronger lasting relationships with consumers and enhance
monetisation opportunities.
