Raketech maximises acquisitions for continued growth

Strong progress has continued for online affiliate and content marketing company, Raketech with the firm detailing that its overall revenues for the second quarterly period of 2018 increased by 41.3% to €6m.

Over this period, the company’s adjusted EBITDA also increased by 25.4%, as it continued its strategy of growth through acquisitions, purchasing assets such as Shogun Media Limited, as well as Mediaclever Sverige AB, which operates high-profile casino affiliates.

The results come as the firm has enjoyed a strong half to the year, with its overall revenues for the period being recorded at €10.9m, a 43.1% increase on the corresponding period.

The firm’s CEO Michael Holmberg commented on the quarterly results: “I am pleased to present a quarter with high activity levels and a continued good return from our operating model with growth within Core, Lab and M&A. Revenues for the second quarter amounted to €6.0 million, an increase of 41.3%, of which 24.5% was organic, compared with 7.7% in the corresponding period last year.

“Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €3.2 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 53.7%. In June, Raketech was listed on Nasdaq First North Premier. This was a very exciting process, in which we encountered great interest in our business model and strategy. As a public company, our operations are further professionalised, and we are already seeing positive effects in conversations with both business partners and potential acquisition candidates.

“From a stock market perspective, our focus is on generating long-term shareholder value by delivering on our strategy and financial objectives. I have great faith in the continued development of Raketech’s role in the value chain, and our capabilities to be a driving force within the gaming industry. Our agenda is busy in this regard and I look forward to an intensive remainder of 2018.”
