Oslo, Norway, 15 July 2019 - Adevinta announces its second quarter and half year 2019 results.
Core verticals enjoyed a strong quarter, rising 16%, with overall revenues up 13%. Display advertising revenues remain lower than anticipated due to challenging economic conditions in key markets and by comparison with Q2 2018, when advertising was more buoyant. Initiatives taken to reverse the drop in growth have resulted in an 8% increase in Q2 2019 versus Q1 2019. Product development increased, with new features and apps rolled out across all markets.
Rolv Erik Ryssdal, CEO, commented:
“We have enjoyed a good quarter characterized by strong performances in core verticals across all our markets. We are progressing on a steady course to deliver on our strategy of strengthening our positions in the verticals.
“Softness in display advertising – resulting from a combination of global advertising industry factors and tougher economic conditions – has continued to negatively affect overall revenue growth. Initiatives taken in Q1 2019 have had some positive impact.
“Adevinta has been established as a standalone company and has been well received by all stakeholders. We are continuously improving our focus on operations, while evaluating market growth and consolidation opportunities.
“Product and technology is a priority across the portfolio, and we will continue investing to improve our competitive strengths. We are well positioned for expansion and to play a leading role in the digital marketplaces industry going forward.”

Revenue from verticals grew 16% across all markets
